About the Business
Established in 1983. Ben's Cookies started as a stall in Oxford's Covered Market in 1983. Founded by cookery writer and chocoholic Helge Rubenstein, she named it after her son Ben (that's him in our logo, drawn by her good friend and renowned illustrator Quentin Blake). This shop, with our simple freshly-baked cookie outlook, is still going strong today. So is our business, with new shops appearing in select locations in England and around the world.

I stopped by on a whim to get one cookie, but I ended up getting four, due to their buy 3 get 1 free special. I got the Double Chocolate, the Oatmeal Raisin, and the Cranberry White Chocolate. All of them were amazing, even days later! For the price you pay, these cookies are huge! If you are looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further then Ben's!

Ben makes some gooooood cookies! I passed by this place when I came out of the south Kensington tube stop and had to stop in because it smelled amazing!
There was a little bit of a line outside but it went by quick. Once we got to the front of the line you could pick how many cookies you wanted and what flavours. I ended up getting 4 different flavours - milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate macadamia nut, and cranberry white chocolate. They were all delicious and even tasted great the next day!
As for the service and ambiance, since there quite a line the service was friendly but quick, and there was no where to sit so you had to grab your cookies to go.
I was a big fan of this place and would definitely recommend it to any cookie lovers out there!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Ben's Cookies are absolutely bomb. They are extremely fresh and the quality is impeccable. They have a lot of various flavors such as Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Double Chocolate. Some have chunks of chocolate and some have nuts. They're so good. Try it! Try it!

I had two cookies. The dark chocolate cookie was good. The white chocolate with macadamian nut cookie: amazing.

Got a chocolate chip. It was meh for $2.25USD. There's better out there but if you really NEED a cookie asap then why not. You could also do worse.

If you've grown up thinking that the Cookie Monster ate all of the good cookies, don't be fooled! Ben's Cookie's are a simple fun and fresh idea of the way cookies are suppose to taste.. warm, fresh and hot out of the oven!
I can buy and cookie along with some milk or ice cream to forget all of my cares in the world. They are also sold by the box, along with buy 3, get 1 free deals. Flavours include, praline chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal, etc.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Maria B.Chino Hills, United States284497427 Jun 2018
Giant and fantastic cookies! They had such unique flavors and if you bought 3, you got a 4th cookie free. The milk chocolate and orange cookie was one of my favorites, along with the ginger and dark chocolate cookie. The staff was friendly and it was only a short line to wait in. Do yourself a favor and try these - you will be so happy you did.

OMG! SO. DELICIOUS!!!
Also, there's a 4 for 3 deal. My friend and I got the Orange and milk chocolate, the milk chocolate and peanut butter, the double-chocolate chip, and the macademia/white chocolate one. SO GOOD!!!
There's no seating, so we stood outside South Kensington Station by the statue things shaped sort of like trees and ate our cookies in pure bliss. One thing I plan to do next time is go to the corner store in the SK station and get a little thing of milk to dip it in. Otherwise, the situation was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be returning there, and soon!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 6 Mar 2012
I wanted to like this place SO BAD! I think my batch of chocolate chip cookies were just...not fully baked. Yes, it was warm...it just came out..but i felt the dough was still pretty raw and i was kinda disgusted eating it....The other cookies I chose, that i ate the next day and after were fine. They didn't even turn very hard yet, surprisingly! But to be honest---they're nothing special..i can bake these cookies at home...
