Ben's Cookies in Oxford Covered Market

Ben's Cookies is a renowned chain of cookie shops, celebrated for its freshly baked, soft, and gooey cookies. The brand was founded in 1983 by Helge Rubinstein in Oxford, England. The first store was established in the historic Oxford Covered Market, a location that remains iconic to the brand's identity.

History[edit | edit source]

  • Milk Chocolate Chunk
  • Dark Chocolate Chunk
  • White Chocolate Chunk
  • Triple Chocolate Chunk
  • Peanut Butter
