Origins World Foods

Located near furniture row off the 5 between Lake Forest and El Toro.. parking is easy. They have rows and rows of foods, crackers, sauces etc that you don't see many other places. If you are living nearby and are from Italy, Germany, The UK then you will find groceries here that will make you feel at home again. I was looking for a specific lasagna noodle and they had it in stock! Much better experience than buying on Amazon.

I never heard of this place & I guess it's been around for awhile ! Before this location the store was located in Laguna Niguel. I am a fan of imported foods & products so this place was on my list to check out.I was thinking it was going to be a small corner grocer as I've seen before. British food is hard to come by unless you're ordering online. There's something about the in store experience that online shopping can't fulfill. I love how clean, large & organized the shelves are ! I also love how each tag shows the country where it came from. I will say. Prices are NOT cheap, so if you are on a budget, do not shop here or come to expect deals. Pay attention to how much items are !!! The total adds up VERY fast. I am not very familiar with UK, German or South African products. I don't like much English or German cuisine so it was very overwhelming when I was inside. A lot of the German stuff has no english (nope not even an english sticker all imported foods has) so you really have to know what you're looking at. I loved it all ! I was fascinated by how much product is in such store. There are SO many chips !!! A lot of pickled & canned items, & yes lots of awesome chocolate snacks !!! I loved the very small household section - please add more !!! to this area. I finally got my hands on fairy dish soap ! Shoutout to the kind man working the register. I had a large Fairy dish soap in cart. He wasn't going to let me pay $20 for it so we traded it for 2 small size ones instead. The fact he wasn't trying to make a quick buck made me want to return !

This place was so fun to visit!! They have a lot of different options of foods, drinks, and house hold products to buy from England, Germany, South Africa, and other European countries. Some aisles were empty and others were filled out but the employees were stocking up as we shopped. A lot of unique items that you wouldn't find in our local grocery stores. It felt like a mini trip to Europe without flying :) prices are a bit higher than what you'd expect to pay but cheaper than Amazon. So happy something like this is local to me!

This is such a great store if you were looking for items from out of country. Service was friendly and they were not busy at all. Well stocked and the items are nicely displayed. They have a variety of German as well as British items, this was so fun since I am from Germany. Prices are a bit high, but considering they have to be imported I feel it is absolutely fair. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something different to snack on or cook with as well. Plenty of easy parking!

Like a kid in a candy store... This place is paradise for my little German heart! So many memories from my childhood, I wanted to buy it all. It's on the pricey side, because most of their products are imported, but I found some decently priced things to take home. Gonna enjoy the heck out of the Pferffernüsse this advent season The store is very organized and has German, French, Dutch, South African, Swiss and other products. Staff was friendly, mostly young kids stocking shelves. I'm excited to have found this place.

What a great resource for those of us who have lived outside the country and need a taste of their "second" home. Not only is their selection great and delivery prompt and painless, but the customer service...one of my items was damaged in delivery. Within 24 hours there was an email apology from a real person--shout out to Lorrelle--and confirmation that a replacement item was on its way. Very happy with his company and you will be too!

This place is very unique and has international items you can't find anywhere else. The products and shelves are labeled to tell you where things come from and I've noticed that some countries have the same products as here in the states but the international ones taste so much better. Both times I've been there the same store clerk Ed, went out of his way to help me find what I was looking for. Thank you. Most places lack this type of customer service. Definitely a cut above the rest and worth every penny. They even offer online ordering. With Christmas around the corner, I can't wait to see what they will have out.

This is a review of https://www.germangrocerystore.com. Watching an episode of Hot Ones with Dua Lipa, she said she missed Ajvar from her home country. So my sweet husband goes searching for it online, because I love hot sauces and spices and trying new foods. Anyways, he ended up finding it at the German grocery store online, which is a part of Origins World Foods. One of my BFF's is from outside Frankfurt, so she was always bringing me yummy chocolates and gummies and other items from Germany. So I just started adding things to the cart and expected shipping to be ridiculously expensive. We ordered about $50-60 dollars of goods, and shipping was around $11. We ordered on a Wednesday night and the box came within a week. Everything was packaged really well, and even the chips were not crushed. After we eat through these goodies, I have no doubt we will be ordering from them again. Thanks for making it easy and accessible to order foods from Germany and other parts of the world.

This shop is pretty awesome for British food finds. I believe they just changed location, so some of the shelves are still a bit bare. They have a massive selection of British foods - even frozen bacon, sausages and aunt bessies yorkshires. I haven't tried the frozen stuff yet, but I'll be back soon, probably for Easter eggs and bacon!One thing to watch is that the prices on the shelves are what you get charged at the til. It's a big shop. I was able to walk around the store, I know previous review said pick up only, but that's changed now.

Definitely our go-to when we need British snacks! A great variety, always clean, always spending way more than we plan lol It's nice that you can check online and see if they have things in stock before you get there too. We come so often that the best store clerk Ed, feels like a friend. He's so helpful, goes out of his way to look for products not on the shelves, not a lot of places have customer service like him anymore. We are looking forward to all the Christmas goodies coming in soon!
