The English Tea Store carries many popular British cookies and cakes that can be paired for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. McVitie’s, the most popular biscuit and cookie name brand in the UK, has many of its sweets on our site, including digestive biscuits, Hob Nobs, Rich Tea biscuits, and cream-filled bars, like Penguin Biscuits and Lyles Gold Syrup Creams.

Digestive biscuits and Hob Nobs are similar cookies, only they are made from wheat flour and oat flour respectively. As a result, Hob Nobs have a denser texture, but both are perfect for dunking into an afternoon cup of tea. Digestive biscuits are offered in plain and chocolate-covered varieties on our website.

Cream-filled cookies are another popular McVitie’s product, and the English Tea Store carries three different cream-filled cookies. Lyles Golden Syrup creams are filled with a sweet filling, and Crawford’s Custard Creams, although similar in appearance, are filled with a distinctly vanilla-tasting cream and occasionally have a dusting of sesame seeds. For chocolate lovers, Penguins are biscuits filled with chocolate cream and coated with another layer of chocolate.
