      Delicious, flavorful cookies! My favorite is peanut butter chocolate but honestly any flavors will do :) Soft, chewy, and moist. It's a small shop but a perfect place to stop by and get a cookie to go. Too bad we do not have one available in the DMV area back in the states. Maybe it's a good thing otherwise I'd be tempted to have one every day!

      Scrumptious! This popular post in Covent Garden is a must try for anyone with a sweet tooth. On a walkabout during my first visit to the UK, I stopped when I saw the queue for these soft, delicious cookies. I HAD to have the orange and chocolate cookie and MY GOD, I will never forget it. Do not let her line dissuade you, it moves quickly and the staff are as sweet as their treats. I believe I saw a sign for vegan options as well. I could kick myself that I didn't buy a whole box. Five stars for all of this cookie goodness!

      Solid cookie spot that has a wide variety of flavors. I will say most of the flavors are chocolate based, so if you don't like chocolate it's a little bit more difficult. The cookie was soft in the middle and crispy on the edges. The gooiness texture has definitely been done right! Service was super quick at 10am on a Saturday.

      The best cookies around in all of London. I purchased the "Large Box" where you buy 10 cookies and get 5 for free. I purchased three of each: milk chocolate chunk, double chocolate chunk, peanut butter, fruit nut & milk chocolate and oatmeal & raisin. All were very soft, delicious and very filling. Its difficult to eat more than two at a time. Expect long lines. Be patient. Lines move quickly. Enjoy.

      Very large cookies which are not too expensive. I had been dying to try one of their cookies since seeing them on the internet. Unfortunately, two of the flavors I wanted, the rose and the white chocolate macadamia were out, so I had to go back to the drawing board and figure out what else I would want. I went for the dark chocolate ginger, which is not something I would normally get, but it's a rather unusual flavor I love dark chocolate. The nice guy at the register recommended it and said the ginger was not too overpowering. I was glad I got this as it was a very unique in taste from the ginger which gave a more tangy bite with a chewy fruit flavor to go along with the dark chocolate, which is always a crowd pleasure for me. The cookie itself was soft and chewy. I was very full at the end of my treat, but it gave me the energy I needed to race around the streets of London. Now I won't have any trouble finding this place next time I come back!

      Ben's Cookies is the best dessert in Covent Garden! I recommend trying the macadamia nut cookie and also the praline. They are perfect to get a couple and half them with someone, or eat on your own!

      I had not much time while in London, but I had a mission. Get BEN'S COOKIES. the description was perfect. They are house made cookies of various types. I got two boxes to bring back to the states. Someone will be very pleased.
      Make the effort. It's so worth the trek. Lots to see along the way.

      Mediocre, overpriced cookies that I can best describe as Mrs. Field's;totally resting on their previous year's laurels. Nothing special, they are OK in a pinch but there are better. See what happens when you get too famous for your own good.
