I have only been lucky enough so far to sample the Traditional and Dark Chocolate Orange Shortbread Cookies. My intent was to divide into smaller batches and share with a few friends. Well the few friends turned into just one group - including a native Scotsman (also loved them naturally) and the rest were devoured at home!!

From one Scot to another : Exquisite cookies! Wonderful and perfect texture. I especially love the subtle lemon flavor shortbread. The delivery was exactly as promised, and I will be a repeat customer. Not sure how many cookies I will be willing to share.

This was the perfect birthday gift to give my lovely Scottish wife that wee taste of home that she's always craving. My wife and her friends absolutely loved the shortbread, scones, and Banoffee Tart...we shall return!

I highly recommend Wee Hours. We ordered from Wee Hours for Christmas and the desserts were fantastic. Chef John was very kind and responsive, quickly answering my questions by email. I'm looking forward to ordering more treats in the future.
