Milkshake by Kelis was playing as I walked into Swinky’s Sweets on Park Street for coffee and a cupcake on Saturday afternoon. It was a very apt song, as Swinky’s serve a wide variety of sweet treats, including a selection of milkshakes and – count them – 15 different flavours of cupcakes.
Inside, Swinky’s is a cross between a very trendy kitchen, with American breakfast cereals and peanut butter on the shelves, and a good old-fashioned sweet shop, with glass jugs of sweets opposite the counter.
Swinky’s is a very bright and welcoming place, full of primary colours. There are brightly coloured wooden chairs, and on the tables, tiny cups and saucers contain sugar cubes, just in case you want to add even more sweetness.
Double latte: £1.85

This place sounds/looks cool. Were there any weird/neat flavors? Seems like there would be just by looking at the storefront.
