Shakespeare's Corner Shoppe

Picked up a few sweets. And some aabories for lunch. Lovely gentleman inside to help. Several items are marked gluten free. Many of the sweets ingredient labels have known allergens in bold print. Prices are reasonable for what your getting.

Shakespeare’s Corner Shoppe provides “Everything from Britain without the weather.” Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff! The Shoppe features full British and Irish groceries, candies, English bakery with baked foods, English café patio, souvenirs, clothing, china, and English bone china rental. Delicious, fresh-baked, authentic British Scones, Cornish Beef Pasty, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. The covered patio provides a cozy spot to enjoy traditional British delicacies and teas. The Shoppe also features delightfully British, traditional Afternoon Tea at The Britannia Tearooms. The Shoppe is adjacent to the Shakespeare Pub.

Charming and cute British store. They have wonderful sausages and meat pies and other British foods. They have UK teas, cookies, snacks, seasoning, canned foods and such. I've included pictures of some of the many items available for purchase. Staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Very nice shop packed full of items usually only found in the UK. Great selection of snacks, condiments, canned and jarred goods, teas and tea infusers. There is a refrigerated section of cheeses and pastries. The frozen section has an amazing selection, including Shepherd's pie, Steak & Kidney pie, bangers, puddings, and pastries. The employees are very friendly and eager to answer questions and make suggestions. The prices have increased a bit, but it is still a great shop. This trip we got a Matthew Walker Christmas pudding and a jar of Gale's Lemon Curd. Both were very good.

High tea at Shakespeare is one of my favorite things to do in San Diego. The teas and treats are yummy and presentation is always adorable. The ladies who go dress to impress and they do some really fun theme teas as well. I went to a Harry Potter themed tea in October and the decorations were amazing!

Hard to find minced pies, they make individual pies that are absolutely amazing. Their tea upholds all British standards including being properly brewed.

Every single aspect of our Tea was exceptional. The food and tea were both delicious. SO many courses, arrive hungry. They are small bites but that is deceiving. We ate every single thing and were positively stuffed! The service was wonderful, the waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all our food/tea/culture questions! The shop inside is a ton of fun. We purchased more tea, some brittish snacks and candies too! They have hand pies inside. We will be sure to purchase those the next time we're in town.

How have I lived in San Diego for almost 10 years and am only now just discovering this gem? After having lunch at Shakespeare's restaurant next door, we decided to check out this shop and I'm so glad we did! The staff are super friendly and helpful and will walk you through any questions you have. They have a lot of pastries and savories that they make right there in-house, including several varieties of "take and bake" scones. I chose the raspberry white chocolate ones and baked them tonight, and they are divine! I'm already looking forward to a return visit!
