British Grocer

Awesome place! We drove from Colton because our local british shop is closed on Sundays, and we were not let down. We were lucky enough to get to meet the owner who, like my wife, moved here from England.
Needless to say, they both had a lot in common, so we had some great conversation and it really made our day :) My wife said that she was in heaven with all of the goodies and products from her homeland!
Great variety of much more than just food and tea, along with very reasonable prices. we will definitely be returning, it is well worth the hour long drive from our side of the IE!

As a Brit, I was looking forward to come to this store to see what selection of British items you had! Unfortunately, your Unilocal falsely advertised that you were open on Thursdays until 7pm. But we got there at 6 and the store was already closed! Update your opening closing times please! So people in future won’t have the same issue and be left disappointed.

Love visiting this place. It’s not easy finding the British candy, so I love that this place is really local for me. The lady who runs it is so nice and always makes me feel like a valued customer. She is hilarious and I love the conversations we have. In the end, I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Amazing store with tons of British foods, décor, candies, jams, napkins, cups, etc. We were looking for Cadbury chocolate bars for my niece’s birthday (she is on an England kick right now…) and there were some 20 varieties to pick from. Tons of interesting cool things, I would go back and check it out more when having more time and/​or a particular craving. Check out their website to see the variety of items. We have a British friend in SF who is always looking for goodies from her homeland and the owner said shipping is a flat $ 10, so we will be passing this info to our friend. Do check out the expiration dates as one of the candy bars expired in Dec 2015.

My lovely wife and I have been here a couple of times. Nice lady runs the place. Lots of cool stuff you rarely will see in this area. It is kind of like a little trip to England, including the hostess.

Just an excellent British Store. I cannot add more to all the other good reviews. The owner is very friendly and helpful. As long as they stock Lion Bars and Licorice Allsorts i will keep returning.

They have the hard to find British goods. Bangers, clotted cream, British chocs and sweets. But it’s expensive. $ 10 for Robertson’s jam. $ 3 for a chocolate Whip. And for some reason the staff there are always quiet. They aren’t mean, but they ignore you and won’t help unless you ask. They have a large selection of knicknacks and British souvenirs if that’s the way you are inclined.

Downtown Fullerton is already badass but a store where you can buy British candy, snacks, and drinks (non alcoholic) just makes it even better. Once i entered the shop i was greeted by the cashier who’s friendly which made my experience a great time she helped me search for the items i was looking for and had a friendly chat. Coming here again in the future.

The cashier at the British Grocer, MADE my experience. I walked in without a clue of what to look for and she showed me around and was very descriptive of every item I asked her about. She was very kind, sweet, and over joyed to help out. This is now my favorite store to stop by while in downtown Fullerton.

Very friendly people and helpful in helping pick things out. I needed specific items for a bag of goodies I was putting together for a friend and the young lady went out of her way to give me personalized attention and suggestions.

It’s rather remarkable that this grocer that specializes in British food and gifts exists in the middle of red-​blooded American Fullerton. Their shop is modest, but has a lot of specialty British foods and gifts. I bought a cool UK tote that was fairly inexpensive. The cashier was really sweet and chatty too.

The shop is a good size and has a wide variety. They have chocolates, sweets, tea, drinks, biscuits, condiments and a million other things that I miss from the U.K. They also have trinkets such as cup & saucers, teapots, decorative British items etc.
The lady behind the counter was very sweet and polite. The reason I deducted one star was because it is a little pricey, but I don’t mind paying a little more once in a while for a sweet taste of home!
(One thing I can’t seem to find in any British shop is Ready Brek! I have to order mine on Amazon, but would love to see this place maybe start ordering it in.)

Honestly, if you have a craving, you have a craving and at times this might be the best solution to that itch. However, I went in today in search of Percy Pigs and Irn-​Bru, and unfortunately no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.
It’s expensive (a small bag of wine gums for $ 5.95!) and the service is a bit lacking — the woman running the store was having a long social chat with someone and I hovered awkwardly near to ask a question — yet, she never stopped chatting so I just left.
In the long run, might I suggest a run for the Canadian border? It’s a Commonwealth nation, after all.

Bad service came in yesterday with my friend and such snobbish people. Don’t get fooled with the fake accent.

Lots of available food and also some relative items for us irish around here.
Will visit again

The girls in my family are throwing an English Tea Party to celebrate all the April birthdays. So in my search for clotted cream, I found the British Grocer located in downtown Fullerton. The store is located just north of Wilshire Avenue in the Villa Del Sol plaza. They are open 7 days a week and the owners name is Jackie. She mentioned that I could always call her to put aside something or she could ship items to my house as well.
The store itself is not huge, but still larger than I was expecting. I’m originally from Canada (born and raised) so a lot of the items here are familiar to me. You can also find some of these items at World Market, but they don’t carry as much variety.
I think I was having too much fun looking around in here. My husband and I were in London last year and recognized some of the drinks as well.
Just to name a few of the things they carry…
Homemade Yorkshire Pudding
Scones
Clotted Cream
Cadbury chocolate spread/​drink mix
Jams, Marmalade
English Tea
Irish Soda Bread
British Style Beef Bangers (sausages etc)
Steak & Kidney Pie
Beef & Onion Pie
Ginger Beer
Lucozade (energy drink)
Ribena (blackcurrant drink)
Shandy Bass (Bass beer & lemonade)
Tango (soft drink — orange, cherry)
Chocolates/​Candy
— — — — — — — -
Aero
Cadbury
Coffee Crisp
Maltesers
MilkyBar
Turkish Delight
Quality Street
Smarties
Wispa
They also have tea sets, postcards and other items.
Yes, I’ll definitely be back. You can also follow them on Twitter and Facebook.
⁵⁵⁄₁₀₀ Reviews for 2014

If you’ve ever visited any part of the British Isles, you will have developed certain cravings for odd foods that you just can’t find here in the States… Spotted Dick, Digestive Biscuits, Cadbury chocolates, Eng. cookies/tea,(OK, those last two aren’t very odd, but, well, you know!) to name just a few. The British Grocer is one of the few Brit stores that carries a wide variety of goodies that you can’t find anywhere else. A couple of things I really like about this store is that they change out their goodies seasonally, and they carry non-​food items as well. I love to come in here just to look at all of the fun items they have for sale.
Psst: After you’re done shopping, head north on Harbor to the Old Ship for a pint and some great food… just sayin’

Great little shop. It’s been here for 30 years! Hard to believe.
For those little culinary items, including teas, candies, jams, cookies and the like, this is where you come.
There are also a lot of cute little country items (very floral) and other home decorations, such as tea sets and cozies.
It’s always nice to stop by.

What a cool little place!
Even if you’ve never been to the UK, you can enjoy some of the country’s tastes in Fullerton. From candy; to soft drinks; to frozen goods; to pastries, you can get it all in this cute little shop. If you’ve had the opportunity to travel there, it’s a chance to re-​stock up on some of those tasty favorites to make you nostalgic about your last visit.
It’s located behind Green Bliss and Stadium Tavern and I would have missed it if we weren’t eating outside.
There are a variety of gifts, dishes and other knickknacks to purchase for the home. Some of the items are a little pricey– but they are the real deal. I’ll be back to purchase some meat pies and other culinary delights from their frozen section soon!
If nothing else, I recommend you checking out the great selection of candy and candy bars. They have a huge selection to choose from!

Oh what a lovely find!
I was meandering through the building (forget the name, but located across from the Rialto Café) and found the British Grocer tucked away off on the side from the central court yard. Seeing various candies and tea cups near the entrance piqué my interest.
Delighted to see candy, cookies, teas, breads and other types of food from the UK! Half the store is dedicated to food products and the other half is dedicated to tea sets, china and other stuff with the British flag plastered all over it. Didn’t really get to look around that side of the store too much because I was too interested in the food.
Picked up a mars bar and a cadbury milk bar. Didn’t see the prices posted but they turned out to be $ 1.95 each. Not cheap, but I wasn’t expecting a specialty store like this to be inexpensive. I love candy from other countries so I’m glad I found a place sells them! Plus they sell lots of food I haven’t even tried before. And they have a frozen food section! The lady and the counter (who I’m assuming is the owner because she spoke with a British accent) said that they have been there for 20 years. So this place must be popular!
