Ben's Cookies

Ben’s Cookies in Covent Garden is a true delight! Their cookies are the ultimate indulgence, melting in your mouth with every bite. I happily break my diet for them, especially the coconut cookie—freshly baked, rich, and bursting with flavor. It’s heavenly, soft, and absolutely worth every calorie! Truly the best cookies I’ve ever had!

Several people recommended these cookies to me so I had to try them. While the cookies look a bit burnt, they’re actually quite soft. I was pleasantly surprised! I got the peanut butter cookie and enjoyed it. I wish it was served hot (with milk), that’d take these up a level. But overall, worth a stop for a sweet cookie!

Ben’s Cookies offers a variety of cookie flavours, including a few vegan options - I like most of them. The Milk Chocolate Chunk is the best one and the least favourite is the Milk Chocolate and Orange. It offers a deal - you get 2 free cookies if you buy 5 cookies for £12 which isn’t too bad! They aren’t small cookies. They are good sized, enough for 1-2 people.

This was a good cookie ,not exceptional, but good. I especially liked the soft texture, particularly when freshly baked. I tried the macadamia & white chocolate and the ginger flavors. I'll probably return to try other flavors. They also have a section for vegan cookies.

Bit of a queue as busy Christmas time period but expected. Bought a box of 7 cookies which were absolutely delicious. Definitely worth trying the triple chocolate chunk if you're a chocolate lover!

Macadamia & white chocolate cookies for £2.40. It was so soft and sweet! I love it ❤️ Even if the queue is long, the order and pay part is very quick.

I would recommend trying it if you’ve never payed for an expensive cookie before. But as far as fancy cookies go they’re on the flatter side. Coconut, and dark chocolate were my favourite flavours. Coconut especially since you can’t get it anywhere else. I would avoid two flavours: oatmeal and peanut. The oatmeal one has a nice texture but has an intense cinnamon flavour. The peanut is a regular plan cookie with a few peanuts sprinkled inside. I really wanted both of these to taste better, since they’re usually great cookie flavours.

THE most amazing cookies & so many choices !! you can even see them being made which is cool

We picked up the dark chocolate cookie and it was warm and delicious! You get a large chunk of pure chocolate. Yum!!! Service was fast and a delight. A small place just big enough to pick up your cookie like a drive through. Very efficient. Thank you!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

used to live in london( south kengsington was right in the center idk if this is the right one but still) when i was five. the cookies are a staple of my child hood 10/10 recommend the cookies like melt in your mouth!

We had heard so much about Ben's Cookies before our trip to London, and it did not disappoint. Ben's Cookies operates from a small corner shop in Covent Garden and serves a wide selection of sweet treats. The most popular offering is the milk chocolate cookie, which is best consumed straight out of the oven. For others looking to deviate from this staple, Ben's offers other varieties including oatmeal raisin, ginger, dark chocolate, etc. What distinguishes Ben's Cookies from other cookie purveyors is its delivery of a well-executed cookie - simple, no frills, and not overly sweet. The best deal is 5 cookies + 2 free because who doesn't need 7 cookies? Although New York's Levain Bakery still holds first place in the cookie making contest, Ben's Cookies is quite a formidable opponent and will be sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Next time we are in London, we are skipping Big Ben and going straight to Ben's Cookies.

It's about time that Mrs. Fields met her match! At a whopping 460 calories each, the hefty cookies at Ben's are so bad for the hips yet so good for the soul. Ask the server for a freshly baked batch - it makes a world of difference. You get that soft warm center balanced out with a slightly crisp coating. Cheat day, anyone?

My friend wanted a cookie for her birthday so I googled best cookie in London. Ben's places were listed as the top three. Hint taken. So we sent to the closest one. She for the chocolate chunk and loved her cookie and said it was worth it. I got the chocolate ginger. I like ginger, but huge peices of ginger in a cookie were a bit more than I can handle. Besides the overpowering ginger the cookie itself was delicious. We will be back.

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.

Small place in Covent Garden with big cookies! Get the white chocolate ANYTHING. The white chocolate was still melty and gooey making it an awesome treat.

A friend told me I had to bring these back to the States......so being a good friend we found a location near our hotel. Walked in and the smell......well we all know what fresh baked cookies smell like and the whole place was filled with that wonderful cookieness! Friendly staff helped us and we picked out a box of 15. Got a couple of everyone they had out and 2 to go. These cookies are big.....and delicious. I'm a fan!

I visited London on a one day stop over on my way back to the US. My stop at Covent Garden, home to Ben's Cookies and several other cute shops and restaurants, was one of my favorite places I visited! This was, in no small part, due to my visit to Ben's Cookies where I enjoyed a warm, decadent peanut butter and chocolate cookie. It hit the spot! The cookie tasted fresh and was nice and thick, but still soft and delicious I believe the cookie was sold by weight and they offer a few other accompaniments, but cookies are the main feature, without a doubt! I can't wait to return and try another cookie.

Small shop which made it perfect for buying cookies to eat while walking around Covent Garden. They had lots of flavor options and multiple cookies were sold at a reasonable price, perfect for sharing!

WOW! These cookies make me want to never leave London! Its impossible to miss just follow your nose to those delightful smells of freshly baked cookies. It's set up in a tiny store so the line is always out of the door for good reason! The workers are very efficient without making you feel rushed so they keep the line moving quickly. I tried the white chocolate chunk, the milk chocolate, and the praline. I recommend trying more than one flavor so you don't have to wait in the line again. They have a great deal if you buy 4 cookies, it comes in a cute tin you can take with you even on an airplane. Insider tip : wait for the freshly baked cookies! It will be so worth your while once you bite into this warm cookie oozing with goodness

Ben's cookies are pretty good! I know they have been praised a lot by Londoners and tourists, but as a cookie fantastic (specifically a chocolate chip cookie fanatic) I was skeptical. American cookies are harder on top with smaller chocolate chips and a soft middle. Ben's cookies are more of a muffie (muffin top) meets cookie hybrid. I ordered a milk chocolate cookie. The cookie top was so soft and the chocolate chunks were humongous! I will say though I wish I ordered the dark chocolate cookie here instead because milk chocolate was just too sweet! All in all I would come back and order a whole ton to take home. I kind of wish I did but you know-luggage space shortage!

Delicious cookies in Covent Garden. My kids and I came and wandered Covent Garden. We ate quite a few delights. We had the basic chocolate chip cookie. It was moist and warm, but crispy on the outside. We went on a weekday at lunch and there was no line. Conveniently located across from an ice cream store.

Dangerously addictive! These are the kinds of cookies you want in your life. TRY THEM ALL! So lovingly fragrant. They are worth fattening up for, with lush chunks of chocolate baked in. Praline Milk and Triple Chocolate Chunk are my favs, my crack cocaine. Ya' dig? Sugar?

Lovely cookies love them so much and would be coming back and very recommended. Dont go too often though you might get fat ohhh noo hahhaha buts its very good though especially the vegan one

Decent cookies. Not sure what the draw is. The flavors aren't outrageous or inventive. They're honestly just "fine." The guy behind the counter didn't seem very interested in really helping us either. Oh well, to each their own.

After spending the afternoon in Cambridge, we stopped in Ben's for a little sugar pick-me-up. We are beyond glad we did! Coolies were spectacular. The store itself was completely empty, around 4/5pm. We did the "buy 5 get 2 free" and were all so pleased with our choices. Really don't think you can go wrong. But, for the record, the dark chocolate chip was spectacular! And the double chocolates were a big hit.

Delicious, warm and soft cookies at Ben's Cookies. We went to the one in Covent Garden and waited in a bit of a line, which proved its worth after one bite. They have a buy 4 get 2 free deal that's great if you're in a larger group. Prices are reasonable and though the demand was high, they kept bringing out new and freshly baked cookies. If you're visiting London and happen to see a Ben's Cookies where you are, don't hesitate to try one (or some!)

Best cookie I've had in London so fluffy and delicious. I got the white chocolate and cranberry! Definitely worth the wait in line.

I felt so deceived! It's been a few hours since I passed by this cookie shop and I've been debating on trying this. I finally gained the courage to regret my decision and walked in. There were so many options but I played it safe with the chocolate chip cookie. I somehow got conditioned to enjoy chocolate chip cookies from the south. I took my first bite and my wrinkles from smiling frowned. The chocolate was melting very sexy but the dough was crumbly into pieces. How can such a pretty pieces of chocolate be paired with a terrible dough base? Expensive and not worth my calories. I regretted it.

Loved this place! I'd give the Ginger Cookies 6 stars if I could, the others range from 4 to 5. Better warm, but they were so good we bought a few extra and enjoyed them on the plane ride a few days later - they held up very well.

These cookies are honestly some of the best I've ever had. It's such a shame it's SO EXPENSIVE (you're paying around $3 per cookie). However, I was able to mentally justify my purchase by doing the cookie + large hot chocolate deal for £3.95. A venti hot chocolate at Starbucks is £3.15 so you're paying about 80p for a cookie which is more reasonable. The regular cookies are done by weight or box as most others mentioned. In terms of what cookie to get, don't listen to anyone else here. You cannot go wrong with a cookie here so get what you like not what yelp says is good. I don't like white chocolate so there's no point in spending that much on a white chocolate cookie. I bought the Milk Chocolate Praline, and it was just as delicious as the rest. I got lucky, and my batch was fresh out of the oven. Try to eat them hot even if that means waiting to get home and heating them. This place is definitely a must-try at least once. p.s. The shop is practically a booth but amongst a bunch of stores. There's no seating just grab-and-go.

A very nice late night treat. I had the chocolate praline, double chocolate chunk, white chocolate & macadamia nut, and milk chocolate. I loved the crispy exterior of the cookie. I do not enjoy cake consistencies in my cookies, which this cookie does embody, however the generous portions of additives (especially chocolate) lend it some moisture. Very good cookies. Slightly too sweet, but that's nothing a nice tall, cool, glass of milk can't fix!

If you want something quick to grab and it happens to be something sweet you're craving.. try Ben's Cookies. It's located in Covent Garden and may I say fabulous taste of cookies and a terrific assortment and I just had to try it! 10/10 would recommend it!

Amazing cookies!! A day trip to London wasn't complete without a trip to Ben's Cookies in Covent Garden. Now we are no longer allowed to do such things, I am so pleased to discover they mail order to your door. Have just received my first on line order today. Very smooth transaction and cookies as yummy as ever! Thank you so much. I will be ordering again soon and recommending you to all my friends and family.

Not sure what the hype is... we tried the dark chocolate chip cookie and it wasn't as amazing as other reviews. It was decent but dark chocolate wasn't dark enough. Nothing special IMO.

4.5 stars Honestly, one of the tastiest cookies I've ever had! I've always been a chocolate chip kinda gal so I stuck with that since you can't go wrong with a classic. They actually had a dark chocolate version of it, which I had to get since I love dark chocolate and it was absolutely delicious. Not the cheapest at £1.44 (a little over $2) for just one (hence the half star deduction), but it's a pretty hefty cookie. Plus, everything in London seems to be on the pricier side so I guess the price is somewhat expected lol. It's a small storefront located in the Covent Garden market building. You'll typically see a line of people waiting to order so you know they're doing something right. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in London!

Hands down the best cookie I've ever had. Honestly didnt have high expectations for a cookie but the dark chocolate and ginger cookie was the best thing I ever had. The flavor combo goes so well together and the cookie just melts in your mouth. So sad that I only got one cookie because if I knew it was going to be that good I would've gotten myself a couple more.

We tried double chocolate chunk and the orange one, both were good but if I had to choose one over the other double chocolate would be it. Mainly because the orange one was a little too sweet and tasted borderline medicinal. The cookies were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The service was very british

We lined up for about 5 minutes to try one of their famous, classic chocolate chip cookies. It was a delicious, warm cookie that literally melts in your mouth. I'm a really big fan of the really soft cookies. I remember the cookie being bigger than normal, so I was able to share it with my friend. The cookies are sold by weight, I believe we paid around 1.5£ for a cookie.

Didn't expect to stumble upon a little gem of a cookie shop in the middle of London... this place snuck up on me and while I wasn't necessarily craving dessert when one sees fresh cookies being baked one must try said cookies. I also got lucky that they JUST brought a fresh batch of the chocolate chunk cookies out of the oven. I'm not even sure they were fully baked yet but maaaaannnnnn. Theses were delectable. Airy dough with gooey chocolate, warm and absurdly delicious. Highly recommend this spot, wait for the fresh cookies!!

Love this dessert- had this twice in a week since I was here. Honestly I would take these cookies and ice cream over some of the Booji restaurants desserts I been having here.. Strawberries and cream got nothing on these cheap treats. Very affordable and seen several locations in London. Plus, the variety of cookies are great- I took one star of because they don't offer to warm up cookies b4 consuming.

My husband was so excited to come here to pick up some cookies and I am so glad he suggested this place! It's a small store, with only a 4 person standing room, and a counter for you to pick out your cookie flavors. They include oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, chocolate, chocolate chip, and more! :) We ordered at least 6 and off we went to devour them.

Yummy chewy cookies. With large chocolate chunks! Would recommend grabbing a dozen to go and taking them to a picnic :)

Excellent cookies!! We tried double chocolate and chocolate chip and peanut butter all three delicious!

Cookies from here are huge, plump, soft, goey, and so delicious! I've never had anything like it! The only downside is, it's loaded with lots of butter! Just lift the cookie off of the bag and you'll see a huge oil mark! But I guess that's why it's so good (but then so bad for you too)! {GET} * Cranberry and White Chocolate * Double Chocolate

I don't know what a perfectly made cookie might be but Ben's Cookies comes pretty damn close. All their cookies are nice and chewy with large gooey melted chocolate bits. If you want decadence, go for their triple chocolate but their white chocolate one and milk chocolate praline ones are equally good. Cookies are priced by weight but even a particularly big one will only set you back by £1.40-£1.60. It's always a struggle to walk past one and remind myself that I don't need a cookie right now but the inner battle isn't always won.

Removing one star because they do not take American Express =( It's a small shop right in the center of Covent Garden and they had so many different combinations of Chocolate Chip cookies! You can have it with peanut butter, orange with dark chocolate, milk chocolate and so on. I got the small tin and that comes with 4 cookies to take home to the US. The cookies were not crumby but not chewy either. It had the right consistency of cookie dough with huge chunks of chocolate in it! The essence of the orange was just enough and so the essence of ginger in their Ginger/milk chocolate chip cookie was not overwhelming. I definitely will be coming back when I go back to London!

Best cookies I've ever had in my entire life! I dream of these cookies and can't wait to visit London again so I can eat my weight in them. Double Chocolate Chunk is my favorite. Finding the shop can be hard as it is small and the layout of Covent Garden is confusing. But you'll know it when you smell it! Just follow the wafting scents of something sweet baking in an oven.

White choc and cranberry cookie was lush. Melted choc inside. Gooey yet crunchy. Prices are great. Not expensive like a lot of other places in Covent Garden.

I had heard good things about this place and I was not disappointed! Their cookies are so fresh and cakey and a decent size, too. At just over £1 each, it's one of the cheaper desserts you will find in Covent Garden, and is well worth it in my opinion. They also offer boxes of cookies, which I recommend if you want to try multiple flavors. My favorite cookie is their dark chocolate chunk, which is served warm so the chocolate is perfectly melted and gooey in the center. I also was impressed with their coconut, which isn't overly sweet or chewy. Skip the £5 gelato at Venchi and get the best cookies of your life here!

While walking around the market I saw a long line and figured it led to something good. Turned out to be for this particular cookie stand. I got a small box of various flavors. The cookies （especially triple chocolate) was pretty darn good. Defiantly worth a try of you are in the area.
