Fruit Magic

5   Healthy treats for all

I love bringing the kids here - there's healthy treats, warm and welcoming service and loads of size options for all appetites. I'd recommend a fruit basket as a perfect present (eg for blokes instead of decorative flowers) and its a great way to get the kids to eat more fruit. Mine devoured it!

4   A great independent store but where's the decaff!!

I use this store regularly for great icecream and fruit treats. Its lovely to sit and watch the world go by with a fruity treat, but also good for takeouts.

Unfortunately, we now have to go elsewhere for tea and coffee as the owner won't stock decaff tea or coffee, which is a shame.

4   They look impressive and taste great

I recently received a fruit bouquet from Fruit Magic for my birthday. I don't eat cake, much to the annoyance of my small children, so my husband decided to surprise me with a gorgeous fruit bouquet. It looked impressive and tasted even better - the girls loved helping themselves to the pieces of fruit and I just about managed to get my share.

Compared to supermarket cakes they are not cheap but if you don't eat cake, want a healthy option or are looking for a centre piece for a buffet then the fruit bouquets are a great idea.

They would also make a great gift as an alternative to flowers.
