The store itself is pretty and fun. They have a large tea selection and lots of things related to the British culture. There is a true size poster of the queen, perfumes, candy and cookies.
The English Shop carries a wide variety of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish items. It also has some modern tv culture items such as Harry Potter and others. For the tea connoisseur you will find a wide array of items that will be extremely hard or possibly impossible to find in the Midwest US. Prices are what seems to be a bit higher than expected however, I'm not one to be an expert on imported item prices so I had no problem paying what was asked. The female clerk is friendly, helpful and warm however the male clerk was bordering on rude as he responded to a question asked in a tone and verbiage that expressed his opinion that I was stupid for asking the question. This would be a perfect score if he had been friendlier.
I would give all 5 stars and more if I were only reviewing the selection of merchandise. The products are wonderful! So many wonderful teas, treats, and unique items. I wanted to buy almost everything. If I were rating the man running the store though I wouldn't give any. As other people have mentioned, he is incredibly rude every visit I make! He should not be allowed to speak to customers. Updated: The man behind the counter is STILL more rude than I could have ever imagined. Even worse during Covid. I do not recommend anyone approach this place to be honest. What a horrible human being.
Perfect! My grandmother came to America 60 years ago from England and she misses the sweets from England. She was able to find all the sweets that she remembers and more! It was like watching a 6 year old in a candy shop for the first time! Thank you for bringing a piece of England to MO for my Granny!! She was so HAPPY!! We will be back and I have told all my siblings about you already!
Eileen makes this place! What a wonderful lady and full of spirit. The Shop is a gem, full of England's best knick-knacks, food, gifts of every sort, and items you just cannot get anywhere else. I have been coming here for 25 years and its wonderful in every way. And don't forget the English foods such as flakes, Walkers crisps, and Jammy dodgers. A true gem of a place that makes St. Charles so unique.
