Like a kid in a candy store... This place is paradise for my little German heart! So many memories from my childhood, I wanted to buy it all. It's on the pricey side, because most of their products are imported, but I found some decently priced things to take home. Gonna enjoy the heck out of the Pferffernüsse this advent season The store is very organized and has German, French, Dutch, South African, Swiss and other products. Staff was friendly, mostly young kids stocking shelves. I'm excited to have found this place.

Definitely our go-to when we need British snacks! A great variety, always clean, always spending way more than we plan lol It's nice that you can check online and see if they have things in stock before you get there too. We come so often that the best store clerk Ed, feels like a friend. He's so helpful, goes out of his way to look for products not on the shelves, not a lot of places have customer service like him anymore. We are looking forward to all the Christmas goodies coming in soon!

Usually i enjoy shopping here in the afternoon, but as of late there just seems to be loud giggling kids running the place. The tall skinny gentleman tries to shush them, he is always polite to the customers, i feel sorry for him! Also every Christmas i buy their seasonal products, but now all of a sudden we aren't allowed to "yet". Strange ownership!

What a great resource for those of us who have lived outside the country and need a taste of their "second" home. Not only is their selection great and delivery prompt and painless, but the customer service...one of my items was damaged in delivery. Within 24 hours there was an email apology from a real person--shout out to Lorrelle--and confirmation that a replacement item was on its way. Very happy with his company and you will be too!

I love the Tumbles from South Africa. Best choc treat ever. I asked Ed to contact me when they were re-stocked and he did so, following through on his promise. Great store, great service. Thanks Ed!

This place is very unique and has international items you can't find anywhere else. The products and shelves are labeled to tell you where things come from and I've noticed that some countries have the same products as here in the states but the international ones taste so much better. Both times I've been there the same store clerk Ed, went out of his way to help me find what I was looking for. Thank you. Most places lack this type of customer service. Definitely a cut above the rest and worth every penny. They even offer online ordering. With Christmas around the corner, I can't wait to see what they will have out.

This is such a great store if you were looking for items from out of country. Service was friendly and they were not busy at all. Well stocked and the items are nicely displayed. They have a variety of German as well as British items, this was so fun since I am from Germany. Prices are a bit high, but considering they have to be imported I feel it is absolutely fair. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something different to snack on or cook with as well. Plenty of easy parking!

I never heard of this place & I guess it's been around for awhile ! Before this location the store was located in Laguna Niguel. I am a fan of imported foods & products so this place was on my list to check out. I was thinking it was going to be a small corner grocer as I've seen before. British food is hard to come by unless you're ordering online. There's something about the in store experience that online shopping can't fulfill. I love how clean, large & organized the shelves are ! I also love how each tag shows the country where it came from. I will say. Prices are NOT cheap, so if you are on a budget, do not shop here or come to expect deals. Pay attention to how much items are !!! The total adds up VERY fast. I am not very familiar with UK, German or South African products. I don't like much English or German cuisine so it was very overwhelming when I was inside. A lot of the German stuff has no english (nope not even an english sticker all imported foods has) so you really have to know what you're looking at. I loved it all ! I was fascinated by how much product is in such store. There are SO many chips !!! A lot of pickled & canned items, & yes lots of awesome chocolate snacks !!! I loved the very small household section - please add more !!! to this area. I finally got my hands on fairy dish soap ! Shoutout to the kind man working the register. I had a large Fairy dish soap in cart. He wasn't going to let me pay $20 for it so we traded it for 2 small size ones instead. The fact he wasn't trying to make a quick buck made me want to return !

Avoid this place like the plague ! We ordered a malt food item online and they shipped expired product. Not just one , but both of them expired . So we opened one and it smelled extremely stale . We emailed them to get a refund and they were arguing back and forth about the shipping refund . Its was over $12 ! Not only they ship bad and expired products , when you return they expect you to pay for return shipping and won't refund the original shipping . So for a $16 product , you have to lose $20 in shipping costs . We will never buy anything . We were about to continually get some products from them , but such a bad company .

Specialist in imported food and wine. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I went because they have radox bath salts and fa shower gel. Alas both out of stock so I drowned my sorrow with six bottles of radox bubble bath.Recommended for people who suffer from nostalgia, or didn't live overseas but are curious.Are smarties better than m&m? German sauerkraut better than what's from your supermarket ? You bet. I even eyed fairy liquid longer than I should.

It's seriously expensive and the selection is not wonderful but it's really good for the specialty items you can't get anywhere else - like Mrs Ball's chutney!
