This shop is so cute. All the items for sale are made by the sweet couple that own the shop. I tried two teas both were very nice. The sweet soda bread was awesome. And the whiskey bread is a must try if you like whiskey. Will be going back to try more.

It’s my first time trying the soda bread, I ordered both the currants raisins & cranberry orange flavor, i love both of them! The texture of the bread is somewhat firm and every bite is full of the flavor.Also love their salted caramel corns.

I have always been curious about the Celtic Tea Shoppe. I, myself, have passed by it so many times but never had the time to go in and check it out until yesterday. I went in with my friend who was just as curious and we had a truly wonderful experience looking at all the teas and goodies this charming shop has to offer. One of the owners Kristen talked with us for at least 20 minutes and was so patient and kind. My friend had a lot of questions about the teas and she took the time to answer her thoroughly. We bought a few of their teas and some meat pies and are very impressed with both. Delicious, very flavorful and definitely comfort food!! Next time we will try their desserts which all look amazing. I'm so glad we finally took time out to explore this gem of a business.

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.)

The website isn't very useful - I made an order online, including payment, but when I went to pick up, not everything was available. The food itself was okay, but overpriced to me.

Excellent sweets and savories, I love their chocolate caramel shortbread. They have a wide variety of items but it changes depending on season and what festivals and events they're involved in. You can tell they love creating interesting takes on old favorites, reimagined for the wizarding and renaissance world. Shop is small but cute! Always call and check their web site because they aren't always open, ask where they're selling so you can visit local events as well.

My daughter found out Monday that she has a Day of The Dead assignment due on Wednesday. We are Irish and found out this store existed and was just down the street. As part of the assignment she had to bring food from her culture. Store says they close at 6. I ran over after work it was 5:40. Sign says closed and a gentleman was coming out. I said I thought you closed at 6. He asked me what time it was and I said 5:40 and he said okay come in. I parked and we came in I just wanted some biscuits. He grabbed them. And from the back comes this very rude woman telling me how they posted it on their website a and Facebook how they were closing early. Their website as far as I can tell doesn't say that. I got the hours from here and Google. But that is all beside the point the gentleman was going to help me. She was so rude telling me the register is closed blah blah. If she had been nicer with her tone and why they couldn't help me I would have been disappointed but I would understand. She clearly doesn't want new customers. I won't be back.

Absolutely adore their candies and chocolates!

David Luckhardt

Great quality and friendly staff, highly recommended!

Deborah Moyer

I am pretty well addicted to The Celtic Tea Shoppe’s pies. Vegetarian, meat, hand pies, it doesn’t seem to matter. They are just delicious!

Cybele Baker

Such tasty and delicious food. The meat pies, sausage rolls and scones are my particular favorites!

Brittney Herrera

Owner very rude and unfriendly. I would not recommend this shoppe to anyone just because of how rude she was.

Micah Reich

Stopped in and grabbed some Ginger Newts. I must say my only regret is that I didn't grab more!!!

Jessica Ford

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!
