Ben’s Cookies

Bens cookies a great chain of great tatsing milkshakes and cookies. Their cookies are huge and come in many varities, my favourite has to be the ginger cookie.
The bad point for this great little gem is that its in cathedral lanes, somewhat out of the way i feel from lots more trade.
There is not really anyseating near by either as its mostly taken up by people coming out of wilko’s.
This shop is very reasonably priced and compared to the one in leamington shows no difference in the quality of cookies/​drinks or servcie. they are all top notch.
Its good to see smaller shops/​chains getting the recognition they deserve.
Go and have a look, youll be suprised by just how tempting they are.

Part of a small national chain, the cookies sold here are extremely large in size, but otherwise nothing special. They taste quite nice, more of the ‘soft chewy’ school of cookie than the crunchy one that I prefer. Cookies are baked instore every day, though the dough is bought in ready-​made, which I think is cheating a little bit.
There are lots of flabours, most of which revolve around chocolate chunks with or without nuts, the chunks are ‘real’ chocolate and quite generous. My favourite is stem ginger and dark chocolate, my boyfriend likes the lemon ones and the peanut butter ones. I find most of their cookies taste salty, but my boyfriend likes them, although he admits that they are not a patch on homemade.
The prices are fairly steep, you can buy them individually or in packs, they are sold by weight rather than by unit.
One thing I do love is their signage, as it was painted by Quentin Blake and I am a huge fan of his work.
