VOTED LEURA'S BEST CAFE - 2026

 

FAVOURITES: Last week we started a series looking at some of the amazing lollies at the The Lolly Bug - Little . To kick things off we have:- Caramel Buds prove that the best lollies do not need to be complicated. Small, golden and wonderfully moreish, they are little buttons of smooth caramel-flavoured chocolate that melt in your mouth—no gooey centre, no hard shell, just sweet caramel goodness. MORE information
