Ben’s Cookies

LOVE Ben’s cookies. We come here every time we head to Brighton or Central London. Amazing treat! The cookies are better than any I have had anywhere back home. A nice little sugary pick-​me-​up after dandering about shops all day. White chocolate and macadamia is my fav. Beaut!
Even better, if you are around Covent Gardens, one of these cookies with a coffee from Monmouth, ooooh yes!

Les meilleurs cookies de ma vie ! N’hésitez pas allez y les yeux fermés !! Ils sont moelleux et croquant grâce au gros morceaux de chocolat, macadamia!!! Un vrai régal.

Ben’s Cookies is such a treat. The smell as you wander past is great and the cookies are even better! They are served warm and gooey and they are just the ticket after a day of shopping/​browsing in Brighton. They aren’t cheap, but they don’t taste cheap either. Note: They are sold by weight.
The orange chocolate is one of my favourites.
Does it get better than warm-​cookie-​smell?

Les cookies de chez Ben sont sur ma to do’s à chaque visite en Angleterre. Les cookies sont plus mous et moelleux que ceux qu’on trouve généralement en France, fait avec du buttermilk.
On les trouve dans beaucoup de ville. La petite boutique de Brighton est bien située, juste à côté de Western Rd. Né vous laissez pas décourager par la queue éventuelle devant la boutique, cela va très vite.

5 stars all the way!
This place is a guilty pleasure and pure evil. Evil because anyone that walks past it who smells the aroma of the beautiful cookies, will be sure to stop by and buy one! You don’t even need to walk in the door, there is a glass counter!!!
No longer has this place been a little treat, it’s been a necessity. Almost like one of my 5 a days! Honest to god, I’m thinking of going now and getting one. If you like Millie’s cookies, then forget her… BEN’s cookies is at the top of his game, Millie should be scared.
I didn’t realise, it’s also a chain! I’m not surprised though because the quality is just perfect. The best way I can describe these cookies… Millies Cookies are real good… but Ben’s cookies are real good WITH a homemade feel. They are not perfectly batch produced so that there are exactly the same number of smarties or chocolate chips in one cooke. Each cookie seems personalised and made with care and love… I’m really getting into this!
Downside… they are pricey as they are sold on weight, but they’re so good and come in so many different options, money sometimes isn’t an issue with things like that!
Go on… treat yourself! Buy a cookie, sit down enjoy! If you’re lucky enough to get them when they’re just cooked and warm, then even better, although they’re very good in any condition.

Why is this place so good? My mouth is watering as I write this review.
Ben’s cookies is on Duke Street on the way to the Laines. It’s so difficult not to buy a cookie as you walk past, which I usually do 99% of the time, much to the chagrin of my other half!
It’s a bit pricey as far as cookies are concerned, (they are sold on weight) but to be honest with you I don’t care! They are lovely, heavy, chewy delicious cookies and are available in a variety of flavours. Trust me, if you try a ben’s cookie, nothing else will come close.
(I’m thinking of phoning the other half to bring me one home on his way back from work as soon as I’ve finished writing this!)
they also do Cookie Milkshakes, which — as you can probably guess — are cookies whizzed up with milkshake. Ah the joy of drinking these shakes, they are an absolute delight.
I need to stop writing now as I may start slobbering over my keyboard.
In a nutshell — go there!

It’s pretty hard to walk past the Ben’s Cookies window and not stop for a longing gawp at all the cookies, lined up proudly, emanating that amazing freshly-​baked smell.
These are no ordinary cookies, you see: they are plump and gooey and rather unlike any other cookies I’ve had elsewhere!
They even look different– raised higher and thicker than regular cookies, more like cakes perhaps — but as soon as you take a bite there’s no mistaking their cookie goodness.
Now, first of all, let me say that the selection on offer is great; not too many to choose from, but a good amount of variety when it comes to flavours. They are priced by weight too, which put me off slightly, but my two cookies came to around £2.50, which I didn’t think was bad at all.
The cookies themselves are incredible. They are very sweet — perhaps too sweet for some — and they’re so soft and doughy they literally melt in your mouth. They’re probably the best cookies I’ve had, actually… Very impressed indeed!
My only issue with this place is that I now have to try and figure out how I can continue to walk past their window and not succumb to buying a cookie every time… It’s going to be difficult!

I was living in a delusional world when I thought that millies cookies were the best– this place a truly incredible.
When you think of freshly baked cookies, I don’t think think crispy ones– I think soft flavorsome warm sweet pieces that you can really sink your teeth into. And my god do they hit the spot.
Service is equivalent to the standards of the cookies-​brilliant.
My first try was a milk chocolate orange… I will complete my collection :)

I consider myself to be a sort of Canadian Cookie Monster. I like cookies, and whenever I see a plate of cookies, I’m going to devour every single cookie on the plate. Unlike the regular Cookie Monster, I actually chew and swallow the cookies, and will not let them just crumble to the floor in a giant heap.
I’ve been having these Pecan Toffee Cookies from the Co-​Op for the past few weeks. And they are delicious. But the cookies at Ben’s Cookies clearly overshadow them. I don’t know what they put in their cookies, but it’s addicting. A crispy outer layer and a soft interior that just oozes in your mouth. You can get the Dark Chocolate and Nut (a personal favorite), or the White Chocolate Chunk (a personal favorite), or the Praline and Milk Chocolate (a personal favorite), or the Coconut (a personal favorite). What I’m saying is that you won’t be disappointed with anything you purchase from here. That is, unless you eat something you’re allergic to. But if you’re allergic to peanut butter, then you won’t order the Peanut Butter Cookies, that’s just common sense. And even though, you have about 15 different flavors to choose from, so you have so many different choices.

If you like your cookies doughy and slightly warm and melted on the inside, Ben’s Cookies is a great little stop off. There coffee is also very yummy and oddly also tastes a little like their cookies. They are quite expensive for what is not much more than some warmed up cake mix, but personally I prefer them over Millies any day and the price helps me reserve them for treats only. The Oatmeal and Raisin cookie has a kick of Cinammon, this is my favourite by far, though it is a difficult toss up when the gooey melted chocolate cookie is staring me in the face, OK ill have both thanks.

Ben’s Cookies is one of many cookie counters (shop fronts which basically consist of a counter and little else) in Brighton, and actually holds two counters here, one in the North Laine and one in the Lanes. Both serve gooey, lovely cookies, small but sweet, with plenty of different flavours to choose from at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, they are horribly moreish: their 5 for the price of 4 box is one of my favourites, because it means that even gluttons like me will be stuffed!
As already said, the cookies are gorgeous: little, just barely cooked enough to be slightly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. More often than not, they are so gooey that the dough is almost uncooked: I’m sure that isn’t healthy, but it tastes heavenly. These globules of almost cooked batter come in many different varieties, normally various different types of chocolate and other cooking ingredients, and they’re all gorgeous… except maybe the chocolate orange one, which is a bit sharp. My favourite: the oatmeal ones!
There’s not really much else to say here, as there really isn’t much else: a counter, cookies behind it, and that’s it. To be fair, I wouldn’t really think a full restaurant for just cookies would work, so these places work best as counters. I suppose this also means they can keep the prices down, which is great, as these are very reasonably priced. Pop down today and bring a lovely snack back to the office: your co-​workers will never forget it!

I’ve walked past this little gem many times whilst bumming around town, which is a bit strange as its bright red exterior kind of makes it stand out a bit. Tucked between a football souvenir shop and a posh suit shop on Duke Street, Ben unleashes his gooey, sticky, yummy cookies on an unsuspecting Brighton.
One of 10 chain outlets across the country, this tiny branch bakes all the cookies on site so they’re always fresh (if you get a hot one, you’re a definite winner).
My first Ben’s Cookies experience took place last Saturday, and never being one for doing anything by halves, I indulged in the infamous Triple Chocolate Chunk, which is pretty much exactly how it sounds: milk chocolate cookie with a dark chocolate gooey centre, topped in white chocolate chunks.
A range of mouthwatering goodies beg to be eaten from the counter display, but if you can’t make your mind up you could buy a Ben’s Cookies biscuit tin with four different cookies inside for £5.75.
Full on cookie monsters can slap their chops round giant pizza sized cookies for £10, or buy five regular sized ones to get two free. Or for a mini treat add ice cream to any cookie for £3.

Wonderful. Cookies as they should be.
They are warm, gooey, chewy and thick — everything a good cookie should be. If you’re lucky enough to get them when they’re just cooked and warm, then even better, although they’re very good in any condition. I was surprised to learn that this is a chain — I’d assumed somwhere this good wouldn’t be.
The range of flavour is great too — there’s an oatmeal one if you’re feeling like trying to be at least slightly healthy, but for proper cookie indulgence, go for the triple chocolate chunk (yes! that’s right! triple, not just double chocolate).

Ben’s cookies are definitely an indulgence, but if you’re looking for a treat that’s not going to dissapoint then they are highly reccomended (much more so that Chockywocky’s dried up cake offerings round the corner). There are presently only ten stores in the UK so it’s a privilege to have two of those in Brighton, and due to the small size of this chain, it still seems to have retained excellent quality — unlike those utter dissapointments served up by Miss Millie’s (uuurgh, such a rip off, call those cookies?!). These cookies are thicker, and way more melt in the mouth, with that perfect and so seductive balance of crispinees and soft chewiness. Yum! I don’t know who designs the logo but the brand is given further edge by its allusion to childhood favourite Roald Dahl with the Quentin Blake-​esque illustations.

Simply the best cookies you can get, hands down! Seriously, if you haven’t tried one yet, get yourself down there pronto…
These cookies aren’t your average thin, brittle biscuit. They are dense, chewy and, if you’re lucky enough to buy one whilst it’s warm, melty little discs of deliciousness! There is a plethora of flavours to choose from, including white chocolate, dark chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate and orange… mmmm…my longtime favourites are double chocolate and if I’m feeling especially greedy, triple chocolate! Prices are determined by weight, but an average cookie will cost between £1.20 and £1.50, which is an absolute bargain for this level of heavenly indulgence.
If you pop by in the summer there are a few tables outside, providing a lovely perching post to sit, scoff, and watch the world go by! They also serve hot and cold drinks… I have been known to dip my double chocolate in a mug of hot chocolate… its sickly sweet but delicious if you’re feeling in need of a serious sugar boost!

Ben’s Cookies, whilst small in size, is great if you feel like indulging yourself. The milkshakes and cookies here are incredibly tasty, yet affordable, with the former hovering around the £2.95 mark, and the latter about £1.15-£1.30. If you’re feeling really hungry, you can buy five cookies, and you’ll get another two free.
As well as the aforementioned, Ben’s also sells ice cream — a scoop of which costs £1.50 -, coffee, and tea. There is also a small seating area to enjoy your goodies in.

Absolutely gorgeous. Melt in the mouth, gooey and divine!
Definately the best cookies around!

brillaint huge hand made cookies. they melt in your mouth and if you manage to get them whiel therye hot youre in heaven! although expensive the cookies are worht it and the milkshakes are to die for! they also do gift boxes so if you really love soem one you can get them a box as they even throw in a few free cookies.

I love ‘Bens cookies’ they are sooooo good. I would really like to get my hands on their recipe. oh wait on second thoughts I’ll just leave it to them, they’re doing a cracking job and the price is reasonable.

They may be pricey, but Ben’s cookies are so fantasticly delicious you really won’t mind. If you really feel like a treat, pop in for a few, and if you really want something tasty, try their milkshakes, which are out of this world and good enough to die for.

does really nice cookies and is easily acessible when waling down the street. i recommend gettin his delisciosu double chocolate chip or some of their more stranger versions of coookies. can be a bit pricey at times.

Auch der 2. Shop von Ben‘s Cookies bietet das was der Name verspricht: frisch gebackene Kekse. Aber nicht irgendwelche sondern die Kekse die man so hervorragend noch nie gegessen hat. Das Innenleben der relativ großen Exemplare, die nach Gewicht verkauft werden, ist herrlich weich und die Schoko-​, Nuss– oder Fruchtstückchen machen die Cookies zu einer wahren Kalorienbombe. Preislich nicht günstig aber jeden Cent wert.
Aber was solls — man lebt nur einmal. Ob nun Milk oder Double oder Triple-​Chocolate — lecker sind sie alle-​die mit Nüssen etc. sind nicht so mein Ding. Man kann die Kekse natürlich auch gut exportieren — denn auch nach einigen Tagen ist das innere nicht hart und krümelig, sondern immer noch weich und köstlich.
Ausserdem bietet der Laden neben den Keksen (erwähnte ich die schon?) eine Auswahl an Heiß– und Kaltgetränken, sowie Becher von Ben‘s und dekorative Blechdosen an. Einige Stühle und Tische laden zum Verweilen vor der Tür in der geschäftigen Straße mit vielen attraktiven Läden ein.
