THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOOD AND SERVICE! I order my Gluten Free scones, they show up fresh and packaged. The jams, spreads, and homemade toppers are EVERYTHING! There is not one thing that will disappoint you. I also purchase gift boxes and have them sent direct and everyone is always so complimentary on the look and taste. Celtic Tea Shoppe is my go-to!
I'm originally from England and have lived in the US for the last 12 years. I've tried dozens of different places all over the country who make British food because I miss the flavours of "home" often. The Celtic Tea Shoppe absolutely nail it with all of their offerings, and I don't say that lightly. I (sadly) don't live in California but I've visited a lot over the past two years and every single time I'm here, I have to visit their store or I go home very very sad that I didn't.
They make the type of food you end up craving and everything they make - sweet or savory - is just 10/10. Their sausage rolls are the *BEST* I've had in the US - even my homemade ones (that I've tried to perfect for a decade) don't come close. I am genuinely bummed that I live in Texas and only get to taste their delicious offerings a few times a year, but it's such a treat when I do!
The owners are also very lovely and the passion they have for what they create shows. I shall continue to bug them about moving to Texas just for me ;)
If you're reading this review to decide whether to try them out, just stop reading and go already, you won't regret it at all. Be sure to try the sausage rolls, but save some for me! 🤤
(Just a note - Before baking the sausage rolls, brush a bit of beaten egg on top of each one to get a nice golden finish. It's a small extra step but it's a step you shouldn't skip in my opinion.)

Love the variety at The Celtic Tea Shoppe. My three soccer players (twins and our exchange student) were obsessed after late night soccer practices. From the packaging to the perfect texture, they are a winner!!!
The staff is amazing. Emails and phone calls to arrange pick up. Customer service is a 10!
I met this shop through the Dickens Fair originally and was during the pandemic, shopped more and more there. The owners are incredibly professional and passionate about what products they sell. I love coming in to pick up some items and briefly chatting with them because I see how much this local business is dedicated to their product and to their clients. I now always have something stored in the freezer from the Celtic Tea Shoppe and my son is in LOVE with the magic color changing tea! The quality of the food is authentic and I always feel wonderful supporting local businesses that are passionate about what they do and sell in their communities. Honestly I can not find any other business that sells similar food items to the quality I can find here. My personal favorites are the Chicken pies and the pasties. If you are looking for a PROPER scone that does not resemble the taste and texture of a rock, ORDER THE SCONES FROM THEM IN ADVANCED!! Other than making things myself, this is the ONLY LOCATION I CAN FIND which makes a scone that is light and similar to what you would find in the British isles. IF I had a criticism it would be that I could not pick up scones when I drop by, but if they made them in those batches, the scones would be something I could find anywhere. The owners are passionate about the quality of what they put out into the public for consumption. I HIGHLY recommend this place especially for their take away tea boxes!!!
I have known the owners for decades and have been a faithful customer of their goods. I have ordered their tasty treats for events I have hosted, gifts for family and friends, etc. Their delicious tea boxes, gingerbread cookies, caramel candies, and more are such high quality and packaged so well. You should definitely order, as you will not be disappointed.
Celtic Tea Shoppe is one of our favorite places to shop. We especially love their home baked, made from scratch, Shrimp and Corn and Curry Chicken Shepherds pies. We also love their homemade macarons. My husband loves their caramel corn. Kristen and Dean provide very friendly and professional customer service. They work very hard to make sure all of their baked goods are of the highest quality and taste heavenly. We highly recommend The Celtic Tea Shoppe to everyone!
