We popped in on our way home a few weeks ago, a pressing desire for some proper bacon. They have a freezer full of frozen delights. Managed to also fill our bag with crisps, chocolate, a pork pie and a lamb curry pie. Great selection, been a few years since we were last at this end of town, but not too far off the4, and plan to return. read more

Grumpy bugger behind the counter is not particularly helpful, seems to always have an negative attitude about pretty much everything I've talked with him about, doesn't mark his prices and when he charges you they vary and are exorbitant! Convenient maybe but I'll order online anytime I can to avoid paying for this bloke's resentful negativism. read more

Good selection, but the place is hidden off the beaten track in a run down strip mall, hard to find. Nothing had a price marked in it, so when the purchases were rung up, it was total sticker shock. Would not return. We were hoping to find a small business to support, but were disappointed. Owner was nice though. read more

Bollocks! I can't believe this place has been open 14 years and I have never stopped in. This place has all your favorite English, Irish and Scottish foods along with oodles of tea varieties and butter beer. It is a one story shoppe (no lift) on Mills avenue about a block north of Colonial Drive. This is not a restaurant so there is no loo. I found sports memorabilia for Manchester United football which would be sure to illicit a 'Bloody Hell' from my cousin who is a Rangers fan or the one who is Celtic fan. They even have a Man UTD brolly. The frozen food choices are expansive so if you are utterly knackered and don't feel like cooking. You can pick up some food such as bangers, pasties etc and just heat it up. I used to have my friends and family bring back Radox shower gel when they traveled abroad. Now my friends can tell me to sod off because I can purchase Radox Herbal Bath and Stress relief at the British shop along with another favorite Coleman's Shepard pie mix. The owner was very friendly checking me out. I saw another customer loading up a basket of the frozen items. I found there prices comparable to other import shops in this area. They have lots of cute kitschy items but real food and a lot of items (like their sweets) I can see myself purchasing. I couldn't help myself as I gave a quick little 'Pip Pip' on my way out. read more

Proper British shop, this. Quaint. Small and unassuming, charming, rich with decidedly British bits and baubles on offer. All sorts of sundries to make any Anglophile smile. Chocolates, tea, pasties, you name it. All things British. read more

So I just visited London and my wife was in desperate need of a Balti. The search began early this day and I scouted out several British and internatiomal food shops for either a Balti sauce or paste. Yes they carried British food but no Balti. Indian food is especially good in England but the Balti is this Indian fusion dish that every friend of mine in the England loves. When I came into this shop I was greated by the nice man behind the counter and there it was. I collected the sauce as well as some other essentials. I will definately be back. read more

The British Shoppe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Longwood, Florida

I love this little British shop in Longwood. It's great having it so close and the bangers are AMAZING! You cook them but you can't find these in grocery stores. They are so delicious! read more

Love, love, love ethnic grocers and this store certainly has everything British! I'll talk about the extensive merchandise first. Tea pots - all different kinds - as well as tea cups, plates, creamers & tea bag holders. They love their tea you know. There's everything to please the Dr. Who fan, magnets, tins and souvenirs. The food! From what I recall in the refrigerator was a selection of meat pies and a number of banger items. On the shelves were jams & preserves, vegemite, haggis and batters. Then there's the teas. An entire row was dedicated solely for teas that I've never heard of. If you're looking for British food items or merchandise this is definitely the place to come. read more

What a cute little shop! I smiled the entire time looking at all the food--some familiar, like Marmite, which brings back memories of a Canadian roommate of mine who layered it over her burnt toast every morning (after unsuccessfully scraping off the "burnt" on her toast). I'm sorry, but why have burnt toast EVERY morning and complain about it--why not just change the setting to lightly toasted and not burn it? At any rate, I hate Marmite, but it was good to see in the shop none the less. My beloved Wheetabix, frozen steak and kidney pies, Heinz baked beans, and oh, yes, tons and tons of tea. The novelty items like the Union Jack G string, and other undies were just too rich. I mean, you gotta love it! I thought the bulletin board and information for British nationals is such a great idea and hope that this can be a point of connection for British expats that live in the central Florida area. I will definitely be back for more! read more

My fellow anglophiles, Rejoice. Need to get a teapot with Prince Harry's face all over it? Check! You need your British candy bars and snack fix like Bounty or Aero? Check! Lavendar and Rose infused Biscuits....check..... I love love love the British Shoppe. Went a few weeks ago to get a new teapot and as I walked in Morrissey was on the radio singing a legit cover of back on the chain gang...then I heard an update about London Traffic..yaaaaas....anyway..found my teapot and there are of course some cute royal wedding stuff available for purchase and pretty much a large variety of UK schtuff. The store is small, but also packed full, they use their vertical space well. Please check out this store and save yourself a trip to the Epcot Britain Pavilion. read more

If you've ever traveled to the British Isles, you can understand me when I say that they are not necessarily known for amazing cuisine; at least in my experience as a visitor there. So when I heard about this shop on Mills Ave. I was excited to see what they had to offer Orlando. A nice gentlemen, who was British himself, offered to help me in anyway should I need it which set the tone for my brief time in his store--pleasant. It's small in size but organized well for what they have to work with. Black, industrial shelves are neatly filled with goods you might find if you were in London. Most of what they offer are dry goods: relishes, jellies, cookies, cereals, candies, and teas. They do have a freezer case filled with perishable items that didn't sound too appetizing to this American girl. Steak and kidney pie, sausages, pork pies, and a note to ask about "clotted creams." The candy they offer was cool to see since it was mostly name brands we know and love just packaged differently as if it was being sold in Britain. They also had other candy items that I had never seen but was intrigued by. They had a table of special items that were 50% and included Spice Mango Relish, Muesli (in a variety of flavors) and some special teas. A nice gentlemen, who was British himself, offered very nicely to help me in anyway should I need it. Overall, it is certainly a clever place for anyone wishing to experience what it is like to have their cool accent and/or to make drinking tea an event. They sum it up well with the tagline, "this side of the Pond." read more

The British Shoppe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Longwood, Florida

We need unique shops like this to stay in Orlando! The family who owns it is always friendly and helpful and the selection is great. Yes it's a bit expensive but that's expected - it's a specialty store! Really great for picking up items for an English tea party or British treat. If you haven't had clotted cream before, go to The British Shoppe and buy some! read more

Way way overpriced weetabix $15.99 Wegmans or Trader Joe's sell exactly same $2.99 I've been all over the US working and I seek out british food stores in every city that I work The British Shoppe is the most expensive I've ever seen it's ridiculous the prices definitely will never go back and I'll advise all I meet to avoid the place read more

Ex-pat living in US for 30 years and used to be a regular customer when the store was on Mills but have not visited for a few years. The new location is hidden away in the corner of run down strip mall in Longwood with no signage so it is very hard to find. Seems to have a reasonable selection of food items and British souvenirs but most items are not priced on the shelves and are very expensive so prepare for sticker shock at checkout time. There are much better options in the greater Orlando area with lower prices or checkout the British food on Amazon or they usually have a small section in Publix. Given the new location and higher than normal prices its unlikely we will shop there again. read more

Piece of advice, or request if it is not in your master plan: Put an open sign out front so when I drive by, I know to park and come in. At best advertise with a bigger sign. Advocate for your success. Dafe read more

Beware there are no prices on any of the goods on the shelf, you may be in for a rude surprise like we were when we checked out.

Cute shop. I enjoyed going and found mostly what I needed. The only thing I wish they did was give prices of the items on the shelves. Even a typed up list with prices on the shelves. Prices are written on the chalkboard for the frozen items but the dry goods didn't have any prices. It is not cheap but I understand it's an international trip to get to the store. Many items can be found in Publix (International aisle) or World Market. They offer more than food which was nice, I found some cute non food items. read more

Everything is overpriced . Wasted trip. Been to alot of the British / international stores this month getting ready for easter . And this store is way overpriced compared to the other places. Brits trying to rip of other Brits .... smh . I'm happy to pay a higher price for home products but don't like having the piss taken . read more

These people are a bunch of tossers and a disgrace to the Union Jack. A total ripoff. Everything is overpriced and the proprietors are a bunch of snobs. Make sure you check the dates on what you purchase and per previous review, weevils are something to be considered and not a British staple. read more

Move to Orlando a yr ago and have searched all of Orlando for a good shop with UK goods. Great selection here! So happy I found this place!!

Such a cute little shop, and I mean it when I say London chocolates are much better than American chocolates!!!

I am not sure why the ratings are so high...I went here last week and loved the customer service and they had many of the crisps and sweets I loved as a kid when I was in England. The girl behind the counter was so polite. I got off work early today and stopped by, and a gentleman was there. I picked up many of the same things I purchased last week, expecting the prices to be the same. However, when the gentleman started to ring up the items, the prices were higher. I stated that the prices last week were about half. He stated that "those were the wrong prices and if I didn't want them, he and his son would eat them." He repeatedly stated this...he seemed more concerned with actually eating the items they were selling, rather than actually making a sale to a paying customer. I was born and raised in England. This man gives British people a bad name with his rude behavior and demeanor. I will never shop here again. read more

I found what I needed (vegemite) and was very good however the price didn't sit well with me, however I did see a good assortment of British goods and knick-knacks read more

Yawn. My visit to this store was possibly the dullest experience I've had in my Orlando trip. Walked in during the afternoon and we were only the customers in the shop. The worker stayed in the back doing his own thing without even greeting us. There was a few interesting items; some of which I can purchase on amazon in a cheaper price. Went in for a 4-pack of butterbeer, got my butterbeer. But there was nothing else that excited me in this place. Pass. read more

Unhelpful obnoxious staff and overpriced UK attire. I've never come across such unhelpful store employees before, quite frankly I'm astonished that this place is still in business. You're better off hitting the UK section in your local Publix supermarket than lining an unethical business with your hard earned dollars. As someone else said - they give the British a bad name with their attitude to their customers. read more

This was my first time stopping by here. They were extremely welcoming and helpful. I'll definitely be coming back to fulfill my regular needs. read more

Just to let everyone know i went in to buy my usual bacon and sausages and the english easter eggs are in. Have a really nice selection of what i miss from home. If you want real chocolate and real easter eggs you have to look at the selection here. read more

I can't recommend doing business with this company. The shipping charges were outrageous. The wait time was very long, and no communications with them until we asked. Then when the order finally arrived, it was missing one of the most important products ordered. The packer simply tossed in something else which we didn't want or ordered later claiming it was a "better" product. The experience was very arrogant and rude. If a company can't fill an order, you simply remove it from the order. No, they claimed to know better. They didn't offer to correct it or back order the item and no apology. When we were unhappy with this we got the run around and they didn't want to credit us for their mistake. They didn't follow-up after all that their verbal promise to credit it for the missing item. We do mail order all the time, and never have any problems like this. I can understand someone making a mistake, but they were defensive and refused to fix it. Unreal! We found a much better company, a *real* British company with excellent customer service called The British Corner Shoppe: http://www.britishcornershop.co.uk read more

THIEVES, FRAUDS, I ordered an item that came in packs of two (Five of them), they only sent me the single item I ordered, they ripped me off for half of my order, and then tried to blame it on AMAZON when I clearly had paperwork to back it up. They were so dishonest they then went back and changed there website knowing they were wrong, and would not send me the balance of my order or my money back, I cannot believe how dishonest these people are, obviously not a true representation of the British people. TERRIBLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH ! NOT FAIR RETAILERS ! read more
