British Afternoon Tea Box | Southern California | Britalicious

Some moments deserve slowing down for. A proper British afternoon tea, boxed and ready for your table.

Delicate tea sandwiches, freshly baked English scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, petite sweets and British treats, and premium teas to pour alongside. At home, out in the garden, packed for a picnic, or laid out for a quiet gathering with someone who matters.

Choose your box

Tea style. Standard or Queen's. The Queen's gives you double the tea sandwiches for a more generous savoury course, with the same freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam, petite sweets, and premium teas.

Party size. For two or for three.

A full spread. Four different tea sandwiches, cut into generous rectangles. A freshly baked scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Four different petite sweets and British treats. Premium teas to pour alongside. Everyone at the table finds a favourite, and there is plenty to go round.

The tea sandwich repertoire

Four varieties appear in every box, chosen across these groups so each release is balanced between fresh, rich, and savoury.

Cucumber and cream cheese

• Cucumber with cream cheese mayo and mint. Fresh, cool, and timeless.
• Cucumber with cream cheese mayo and dill. Garden fresh with aromatic dill.

Egg mayonnaise

• Classic egg mayonnaise. Creamy and beautifully simple.
• Truffled egg mayonnaise. Enriched with a subtle truffle aroma.

Meat and savoury

• Turkey with provolone and basil mayo. Savoury and herbaceous.
• Ham with cheese and dijon mayo. Traditional and comforting.

Vegetarian

• Roasted red bell pepper and pesto. Bold and vibrant.
• Cream cheese pesto with tomato. Creamy, aromatic, and bright.
• Cheddar and chutney. Sharp, sweet, and wonderfully British.

Chef's choice. Now and then our kitchen slips in a tea sandwich that is not on this list at all, made for that release only. If yours arrives with something unexpected, that is the one.

Freshly baked English scones

Handcrafted from scratch in our Southern California kitchen and always served with clotted cream and strawberry jam.

Traditional plain. Traditional raisin. Cranberry. Cherry. Walnut raisin. Walnut cranberry. Cranberry orange.

Petite sweets and British treats

Four appear in every box, drawn from our rotation of British bakery favourites.

Mini Victoria sponge cakes. Mini lemon drizzle cake. Fairy cakes. Millionaire shortbread. Viennese whirls. Jammie Dodgers. Bourbon biscuits. Cranberry orange shortbread. Mini petit fours. Macarons.

Baker's choice. Some releases include a sweet made just for that release, never listed and never repeated in quite the same way.

Why the menu changes

We open the afternoon tea box on select weekends through the year rather than every week, and the selection changes each time. A proper afternoon tea should feel like an occasion, not a repeat. What never changes is the shape of it: a full savoury course, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, petite sweets, and premium teas.

How it works

1. Choose your tea style and party size, then place your order before the deadline.
2. Orders close Thursday at 8am PT before each release weekend.
3. Collect your box, or receive it by local delivery on the release dates.

Where we deliver. We deliver across the Inland Empire, eastern Los Angeles County, and northern Orange County, including Chino Hills, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Claremont, Pomona, Diamond Bar, Walnut, Corona, Eastvale, Norco, Riverside, West Covina, San Dimas, La Verne, Brea, Yorba Linda, and Fullerton. Enter your address at checkout and we will confirm whether you are in range.

Missed the cutoff? Reach out anyway. If there is room in that release we will do our best to fit you in. The cutoff is how we know how much to make, so we cannot always add a box after it passes.

Releases are limited and quantities are capped, so we do sell out. Join the list and we will tell you the moment the next release date is set, well before orders open.

Good to know

• Boxes are available for pickup and local delivery only. Delivery is calculated at checkout.
• Gently warm the scones before serving for the best experience.
• Add a gift note at checkout and we will include it with the box.
• Please contact us before ordering if anyone at your table has a food allergy or a dietary requirement. Because the menu changes with each release, we will tell you exactly what is going into that box.

Questions

When is the next release, and can I see the menu?

We announce every release date and menu on Instagram at @britalicious as soon as they are set, and to our list by email. You can also message us and we will tell you what is planned.

Are there vegetarian options?

Yes. Several of our tea sandwiches are vegetarian, and we can build an entirely vegetarian box. Let us know before you order.

Can I request or avoid a particular item?

Get in touch before you order and we will do our best. Requests are easier to accommodate the earlier they reach us.

Can I order for more than three people?

Yes. For larger gatherings we offer full afternoon tea catering with teaware, setup, and service across Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Get in touch for a quote.

Do you ship the afternoon tea box?

The box is available for pickup and local delivery only. Our English scones and millionaire shortbread do ship nationwide.
