Ben’s Cookies

Being in London for a couple of days, I had to try out this cookies, which look (according to reviews) to be one of the best brand in town.
Ive tried the milk chocolate peanut butter one. I really enjoyed it particularly for the price (1.50 pounds per unit).
What a pity that most of cookies on the shelf are either with milk chocolate or white chocolate. Only one is with dark chocolate but I did not pick that one because it was too simple for me.
Would be nice if they could incorporate new flavours such as banana walnuts, or green tea and cranberries :)

Cookie Monster was not impressed. They told me the milk chocolate was their best. It was dry and flavor was average. The other 3 in our group all were underwhelmed.
Looking for a Levain Bakery (New York) experience. After eating one of theirs, nothing has come close. Love to find a mind blowing cookie in London.

I had a peanut butter one and it was nice and all but it wasn’t like the best thing ever! I don’t eat chocolate but I bet the chocolate ones are amazing!

So delicious ! I can eat them all day long — especially the milk chocolate praline cookie. I feel like I’m addicted to it. Ben’s is the best.

Remember the Cookie monster from Sesame Street?
No?! Then you should see ME at Ben’s Cookies having a cookie feast. I so recommend it during shopping on Oxford St, although I’d rather not try any clothes on after a solid amount of the triple chocolate chunk cookies.
But don’t think about kilos., think about the endorphins those sweet pleasures would inevitably release to you.
And to make things even better, the staff are super friendly and smiley people.

5+ STARS FOR BEN’S COOKIES!!! I seriously love this place and desperately wish they would cross the Atlantic to an American hometown near us! I had 3 – 4 total cookies during my week stay in England. PLEASE visit any one of these chain locations throughout town to experience a cookie you will not soon/​ever forget. They sell cookies based on weight, but you essentially pay 1.30−1.50 pounds for a single cookie. It is large and gooey and soft and oh so good. I seriously have eaten a ton of cookies in my life, and consider myself a cookie aficionado. This is without a doubt in the top few on my list of best cookies ever eaten in 24 years of life.

I popped into Ben’s the other week on a shopping trip on the hellish Oxford St for some much needed sustenance and boy did I find it here in a gorgeous little lady called a white chocolate chunk! Simply delish.
I was impressed by the variety on offer and the both surprised and impressed by the good and friendly service too.
Ben, I will return to sample more of your cookies.

The cookies here are as good as any Ben’s Cookies branch i.e. excellent, melt-​in-​the-​mouth experiences that are unlike anything else on the market. They’re not overly sweet, just circular mounds of warm, soft, semi-​cooked cookie dough.
The only thing that irked me slightly about this branch was a 40p surcharge when paying by card. That’s a pretty significant surcharge when a single cookie costs £1.40. Basically, make sure you have cash if you’re in the area and in the mood for a cookie fix.
Otherwise though, as reliably good as ever.

The first orgasm ever recorded in existence was molded into cookie dough then baked out of these ovens to form a cookie of royal standards, this is the spot, 5 locations in London, one on Oxford St by Bond St Underground station, little shop that just sells cookies, 8 diff types, big fan of the white chocolate chunk and triple chocolate chunk, also sell amazing milk
The musts:
White chocolate chunk
Triple chocolate chunk
White chocolate and cranberry

I’m gonna be blunt – I’ve had better!!! =X
I agree, these cookies are rich, soft, warm and freshly baked right before that sweet aroma whiff hits your nostrils… but I didn’t think they were the best in the WORLD. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookie was sooo soft and gooey that it crumbled in my hands before I could even bite it.
Gooey cookies… what is a gooey cookie? It’s just a cookie that is raw and undercooked. My cookie was a little too undercooked and so I was just chewing cookie dough in the end.
Everyone seems to rave about the orange and chocolate cookie but I didn’t think it was all that. It’s a cookie you’d bring a basket of to an old folks home. I guess my taste/​cookie discretion is too new age =) Sorry to be «that girl» that doesn’t agree with the masses but it’s an overpriced and smartly marketable chain cookie store. My fave cookie shop in the world so far is «Diddy Riese Cookies» in Westwood, Ca (Los Angeles)

Can’t say enough good things about these cookies. White Chocolate (with and without Macadamia Nuts) are my personal favorite — but more or less everything is excellent. The perfect combination of crispy edges and soft, rich filling. Ben’s Cookies also delivers, for those looking to send gifts — or who prefer to receive their sugar directly at home or the office.

This is as close to the real deal as I’ve found — a cookie, not a biscuit. As an American who enjoyed but didn’t quite buy into the McVittie or scone, it was nice to experience something that resembled the traditional American sweet.
Ben’s Cookies is slightly overpriced in my opinion, but they offer some interesting variations on the traditional American Snicker Doodle, Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal fare.
My last word: They’re good, but don’t trick yourself into thinking your eating something better than the real thing. London, I laud your efforts, but you can’t duplicate the authentic divinity of the American cookie.

Definitely not the best cookies I ever had… I know this little spot on the Upper West Side in Manhattan that takes the cake (no pun intended) on that one.
That being said, it is none the less lovely to find chocolate chip cookies in LONDON! I wouldn’t say these are traditional US style chocolate chip cookies, nor the other varieties as they come off to me tasting a bit too doughy but they are the best I’ve found in London so far, so they get a stop from me whenever I pass by one of their locations.
Wish they were a bit more consistent though… sometimes you get warm and gooey cookies, other times cold lumps, still tasty but no where as scrumptious. Hey if Doubletree hotels can manage a way to have warm cookies on ready when their business is NOT selling cookies (anyone whose stayed in their hotels at least in the US knows what I mean right?), why can’t Ben Cookies?

Holy crap, these are by far the best cookies I’ve ever tasted. Seeing as I was already living off biscuits and pastries, I was determined to avoid getting addicted to another sweet British baked good, but a flatmate enticed me with a taste so I dragged a friend all the way down Oxford St to this place. The store is tiny and barely fits more than four customers (the fact that the door opens inwards doesn’t help, either). Cookies were medium-​sized and sold by weight. I paid £3.48 for three: the milk chocolate chunk, the triple chocolate, and the chocolate orange. All I can say is WOW!!! The outside of the cookie is perfectly crispy, and the inside is soft and moist enough to melt on your tongue. I swear, you’ll cry tears of joy the first time you bite into one. The first two cookies had a huge slab of chocolate in the center; it was like biting into one of those chocolate-​filled croissants, only better. The chocolate orange was incredible and reminded me of a Terry’s chocolate orange, though the taste of orange was a little stronger.
I will definitely stock up on these before I fly home to the states. Mrs Fields will never satisfy me again.

Wow! Ben’s Cookies have GOT to be the best cookies I’ve ever tasted!
Happy circumstance brought us in the path of Ben’s — as we were walking along Oxford Street & needing something to fortify us as we continued our shopping extravaganza, a cookie seemed in order
Still warm, these babies were crunchy on the outside, soft & batter-​like on the inside… THIS is exactly how I like to cook my own cookies & Ben’s has it down pat.
Mrs Fields never stood a chance
Skawooshy-​bloop go the huge lumps of chocolate… Milk Chocolate Chunk for me; Ginger Chunk for Sis & those chunks were indeed just that!
We stopped back by on our way back to the Tube for 6 more… but it’s buy 5 get 2 free
ALL declared yummiliscious:
Lemon
White Chocolate Chunk Macadamia
Triple Chocolate Chunk
Hazelnut Praline
Another Ginger & Another Milk Choc Chunk
Woohoo!
