TeaTime Bookshop Reviews 

So fun! Books are such good quality, even when choosing second hand, and mostly hardback. Treats and postcards and bookmarks are varied and cute each month, and it has introduced me to books that I love that I never would have chosen for myself. So affordable compared to other options.

I have used this wonderful company twice now for gifts to send my friends. On both occasions, the recipients were very pleased to have had this special gift sent to them. However, on the last delivery, my friend was sent the second book of a set, so now needs to buy the first before she can read it. It was also not he book advertised on the website. Hence the 4 stars.

Speedy delivery, website is easy to use.
Ordered twice now and I will be ordering again!

Have bought subscriptions twice as gifts and always well received. Great customer service as well.

I really love getting a book from them, all wrapped up with some treats to go along with it.
And there are no spam or pushy emails wanting you to buy more.
When its time to treat myself these are who I turn to.

New best sellers every month, so you don’t have to choose books, just read what is good at the time. The tea/coffee and especially the biscuits is a great idea!

Just went through the new website and I absolutely love it.
I’m a sucker for anything dark mode- so the website is giving that vibe.
Very nice and cozy, most importantly- easy to navigate.
Can’t wait for my next purchase

A cosy treat every month.

I look forward to my monthly box. I chose the historical fiction subscription and was very pleased with the choice of book. I originally selected the ‘surprise me’ option for the drink, but changed my mind and wanted to change it. Customer service replied very promptly and changed it for me. I would highly recommend this monthly treat!

Love this idea. I subscribed to the thrillers and the books are amazing. The tea and biscuits is a nice added bonus, shame you only get one pack of biscuits though!

I'm yet to be disappointed! It's a great idea to get some books that maybe you wouldn't usually pick up, ive had the 'best-seller' box every month since the start of the year and i have enjoyed every book! They're great quality and is such a treat!

My husband loves his monthly delivery. Items are well packaged and there's nice little extras such as bookmarks and postcards which come which are a nice touch. A couple of times the coffees have been cheap sachets which haven't been pleasant and the company are a bit inconsistent with despatch dates. Obviously with the exception of bank holidays and weekends, the delivery should come around the same date every month but we've had it delivered up to a week later on more than one occasion despite the money being taken well in advance. Its been brought to their attention but nothing has changed unfortunately.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Cosy Treat Every Month!

I absolutely love Tea Time Books! Each month feels like a little care package arriving just for me. The books are always well-chosen, often titles I might not have picked up myself—but end up loving! There’s something magical about pairing a new read with a warm cuppa and the thoughtful extras they include (hello, biscuits and bookmarks!).

The packaging is adorable and everything arrives safely. It’s clear a lot of care goes into curating each box. It’s also a great gift idea

A lovely gift box for the bookworms in my family, they love the surprise. The only issue I found was I couldn’t see where to add a gift message so they knew they were from me.

I bought this as a birthday present for a friend who is delighted. You can even get a replacement for a book you’ve read. A nice addition might be to be able to ‘opt out’ of a genre if you go for the surprise option. Customer service is v helpful and quick to respond.

The items were nice enough but I was disappointed the gift box didn't come in an actual gift box! Everything was just in the delivery box and when you consider it's designed to be given as a gift to a book lover, it's a bit of an obvious omission in my opinion. I had to hastily find my own box to present everything in because giving someone a present in a plain cardboard box covered in postage labels doesn't seem very thoughtful. I have ordered similar gift packages from elsewhere and even those sent straight to the gift receiever, were nicely presented in some basic gift packaging. It would also have been nice to know the tea could be any variety (I got an Earl Gray and a fruit tea). Not the end of the world but a bit of specification wouldn't have gone amiss.

Had the surprise bundle which included some brand new books, as well as pre-loved. The condition of one book was pretty poor, otherwise I was pleased

I have really enjoyed most books on my subscription, which I have had running for about a year now.
Really nice to get a box with a book, some tea bags and some biscuits each month, it’s a great idea, for yourself or a gift to someone.
The initial box did take about 2 weeks to arrive and was over the delivery date but you do expect some teething problems with new subscriptions so I wasn’t too fussed on this, I think people are a bit too quick to complain!
I have had about 2/3 books that was really hard to get into but this is what you get when you subscribe to a blind book club. Not everything will be to your taste.
It does save trawling for a new book to read and just wait for a surprise to see what you end up with.

I was lucky to be bought the subscription as a birthday gift from my husband. I’m so glad I did! I chose the pre-loved ‘‘surprise me’ package and can honestly say, the books are still like new! I wanted the surprise me option in order to get me out of my comfort zone- I generally just choose the same type of book, but I’m now broadening my horizons. They encourage feed back in books, so if there is a particular book you don’t like, they will take that into account when choosing the next box. I also like that you get biscuits and a drink to enjoy while reading.
I really like that you can choose pre-loved books (new ones are also available) as it helps to stop books being read once then thrown away.

After my daughter received one of your gifts as a wedding present, I decided to treat my book -loving friend to one for her birthday! She was absolutely delighted. It arrived exactly on time and beautifully packaged.
