Where to Buy British Food in the USA (Without Leaving Home)
If you've ever typed "British food near me" into Google while living in the USA, you know the frustration. Maybe there's a small import shop a few towns over, or a specialty grocer that stocks a handful of British products at eye-watering prices. But what if you want the full range — Cadbury Dairy Milk (the real UK recipe), Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps, Jaffa Cakes, Hobnobs, Yorkshire Tea, Percy Pigs, and all the other British classics that simply don't exist on American supermarket shelves?
The good news is that you no longer need to find a British store near you. LondonPop Box delivers authentic British food directly from the UK to your door, anywhere in the USA.
Why Is British Food So Hard to Find in the USA?
The USA has strict import regulations around certain food products, and many British brands don't have the distribution infrastructure to stock American supermarkets at scale. This means that even in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston, finding a dedicated British grocery store can be surprisingly difficult. And when you do find one, the selection is often limited and the prices are high.
That's the gap LondonPop Box was created to fill. We handle all the importing, customs and logistics so you don't have to — and we deliver a curated box of the best British snacks, sweets and treats directly to your door, anywhere in the USA.
Cadbury Chocolate in the USA — The Real Thing
One of the most searched-for British food products in the USA is Cadbury chocolate — and specifically, the genuine UK-made version. Many Americans are surprised to learn that the Cadbury chocolate sold in US stores is actually made under licence by Hershey's, using a different recipe that many British expats and food enthusiasts find noticeably inferior. The original UK Cadbury recipe uses a higher proportion of milk and a different cocoa blend, giving it a creamier, richer flavour that's distinctly different from the American version.
LondonPop Box includes genuine UK-made Cadbury chocolate in our boxes — the real thing, straight from Britain. From Dairy Milk and Crunchie to Roses and Heroes, we bring authentic Cadbury chocolate to your door in the USA.
The Best British Snacks to Try
If you're new to British snacks, or if you're a British expat who wants to introduce American friends to the joys of proper British food, here are some of the classics you'll find in a LondonPop Box:
Walkers Crisps — Britain's favourite crisps, in flavours you won't find in the USA: Prawn Cocktail, Cheese & Onion (the real British version), Salt & Vinegar, and Pickled Onion Monster Munch.
Jaffa Cakes — The great British debate: are they a biscuit or a cake? (They're legally a cake, for what it's worth.) A layer of orange jelly on a sponge base, covered in dark chocolate. Utterly addictive.
Hobnobs — The oat biscuit that Britain is quietly very proud of. Dunks perfectly in tea without disintegrating. Available plain or covered in milk or dark chocolate.
Wine Gums — Not wine-flavoured, despite the name. These firm, chewy sweets in fruit flavours are a British institution. Nothing like American gummy bears.
Percy Pigs — Marks & Spencer's iconic pig-shaped sweets, made with real fruit juice. One of the most beloved British sweets of the modern era.
Yorkshire Tea — Proper British tea, brewed strong. The kind of tea that actually tastes like tea, not the watery stuff most Americans are used to.
