Amazing..delightful....delicious....with an outstanding owner and staff! Delicious baked goods, teas, grocery items and sweets, crisps and puddings. A lovely haven for a cuppa in this fastpaced world.

What a cute small store to bring a little bit of England to Washington. Fresh cooked food also brings back the England we Visited few years ago. You can get anything from packaged cookies, teas, candies and souvenirs.

Cute little shop! I love the little grocery section with many of the English favorites I used to get from my grandparents. The food is good and the servers were very friendly and accommodating! Our order actually didnt get sent somehow so we sat at our table drinking tea for a long time before finally asking about what was going on - they were so apologetic! Brought us another whole pot of tea and some pastries on the house while they made our food.

British Bites was an amazing birthday treat! I havent tried all of the desserts yet, the few I have tried are amazing! You feel as if you are in Ireland when you walk through the door. The have an eating area, a coffee/tea bar, bakery and snack section, a few frozen foods! This is the place to go if you are really into trying new things or just want to get a taste of Ireland. I have go back when I finish all of my snacks! Lori was was an amazing host to Ireland, now I will have to take a trip to Ireland! This was a really great experience!Thank you Lori and Mike for opening my eyes and taste buds to the joys of Ireland! See you soon!

Such a quaint British spot. From grocery items, pastries and cookies to variety of food offerings. Tea for Two menu for about $49. It transports you to London. Menu board with food options in one of the pictures below.My friends ordered tea and knobbies (cookie). Staff friendly and the gingersnaps pretty darn good!

My best friend and I participated in Murder on the Orient Express Christmas themed tea. We loved the dead body gingerbread men. I was glad my friend knew the proper tradition on how to open crackers. I would have been lost. I got to try figgy pudding! Now I know what Bring us some Figgy Pudding actually is. Oh and a mince meat pie, those were tasty and sweet. This was our second tea party. We did the Downtown Abby before and that was equally awesome. I look forward to seeing what comes up next. And for those that ask. Yes, its worth the drive from Seattle.

Wow, we will be going back for the Strawberry Mini Vick in their cafe, tastiest thing we ate so far!!! We also tried a scone, shortbread, lemon type drink and tea. We were not dissatisfied with anything in the least. Everything was so delicious. Everyone who works there is polite and professional and the decor is so cute with of course the British touches and Harry Potter decorations as well. You can also shop the British grocery store which has limited staples but plenty of snacks. We love it here, future customer for sure!❤

The first time I came in, the help wasnt the best, or the worst, but I liked the products so I tried to come back. I came in on one of the days they were supposed to be open, mid afternoon. They werent. A sign said they were closed for the day, even though both maps and their door hours said they should have been open. Today, their door sign says open, and while maps says they dont open until noon, their door says 10. Im tired of wasting my time trying to come here and not being able to. Very disappointing.

Went after a particularly trying week in hopes that I could find a little solace in a cream tea. I was not disappointed. The scone was a light as air, the jam was HOMEMADE with the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and I have no idea how you have proper clotted cream with the strict US pasteurization regs, but it was gastronomic heaven. I also got some Cornish pasties to bake off at home and they were amazing!!! I shall be returning time and time again.

If you’re a British expat like myself, you’ll feel right at home here. I had a smile on my face the whole time looking around at all the familiar products from home. They also sell sausage rolls and Cornish pasties. And crumpets. Yep you heard that right lads. 10/10

It was way to expensive for what we got 2 dinner plates of finger sandwhiches and a 2 cups of tea 48 dollars per person. We were there maybe an hr 5 of us in the party at 48 bucks a head. 240 bucks they got for all that and I had to go ask for napkins.

Review №34

A well appointed British menu with modern and traditional items to enjoy. Good place for tea flavors galore. Stopped by based on rating and we were not totally disappointed. A little skimpy on food but tasted good. Table service was rather latent for example had to get up to get more water. When dessert arrived had to ask server to remove food plates she simply didnt think about doing so (hence 4 stars). But it was nice to have table linen instead of paper. Good selection of British confectionery.

We have never been disappointed with our visits to British Bites. The owner and her team are always so friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent, Sunday we had Mac and Cheese, and the Potato rap. My wife and I always love each others dish so much we trade half way through to enjoy it all! All the desserts are not too sweet and perfectly moist, a wonderful fall treat. Everything is the homemade and always delightful. Thank you guys for always providing a wonderful experience every time we come in!

I love British bites, they are a bit higher priced but if you want things from the UK then you are paying for all the fees and taxes to bring them into the country. We went there on mothers day one year to eat and the food was things they eat in the UK and it was amazing, the people who own it and work there are sweet and amazing people, I love it!

I wanted a unique and special gift for my Mother, who is 85 and cant come out due to lockdown. I am so happy that British Bites was offering takeaway Mothers Day High Tea.My mother was so very happy, calling it a piece of home. (Mom is from Northhampton) The food was plentiful and delicious. I appreciate all of the hard work it took to put it all together. Thank you!

Normally it was a pleasant going there. Today was not. Hardly any greeting, like we were a bother. Hardly anything available, and what was pretty much had expired with a neon red tag. Cashier didnt even say anything, was not observant. They need to go back to being customer friendly, or they will lose there customers.The receipt said Mike

Great combination of U.K. Grocery and restaurant. They have a variety of hot foods, baked goods, and teas.I had their happy hour sweet plate last time. It was great. Really flaky and flavorful pastries, and the cupcake was very yummy too.My friend had a bowl of soup and a cheese scone. She said it was very good as well.Staff checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything, but never made us feel rushed while we drank our tea and chatted.

Very nice selections of merchandise to chose from. The food is excellent in booth restaurant and regular store. They are always ready to answer questions and point out all the good stuff. Have been going there since I was a kid. Alot has changed over the years and all for the better. Great place to have great food and service. Recommend it to all the Brits that need something to remind them of home. And to those who cant visit England,go here.

Review №73

My girlfriend just moved the area and after moving in the last of the pieces, we collapsed on the couch, hit the Explore function in Maps, and went to searching for a quick bite to eat. Imagine my surprise to find a British bistro just down the road and sporting rave reviews. Im always a little skeptical when I see nothing but glowing reviews, but we decided that some tea and a sandwich was just what we needed, so off we went.We walked in and the first thing that caught my eye was the little Shop they have selling British foods, I had to be peeled away in order to go actually order food from the counter. While everything looked great, we settled on the Turkey, Brienne, and Cranberry sandwich with a small pot of tea. Their tea selection is very nice and the staff is very knowledgeable and have great recommendations. We then took a seat at a table and admired all the Anglo sights that are literally everywhere you look.Our tea was ready nearly instantly and was wonderful. All of this had made our expectations unfairly high regarding the sandwich, and when they came, we were not disappointed in the least. The turkey was perfectly moist and torn, not sliced, which paired perfectly with the sweetness of the cranberry and the bite of the brie.After eating we grabbed a selection of baked goods to try later (which we have)all are great, but the Lemon Mini Vicky shines a little brighter than the rest. Even better all the prices are VERY reasonable, you can come have a nice lunch and not break the bank.Between the fun atmosphere, pleasant staff, great food, and exceptional tea; this is destined to become a go to place for us and it should for you too. Ive never been to the UK, but I can imagine this place is about as close and I can expect to get without a passport.
