Founded in 1983, in the home of the chocolate-loving cookery writer, Helge Rubinstein. She baked these incredible cookies that were too good not to share, and that’s how Ben’s Cookies was born.
Our first shop opened in 1984 in Oxford’s Covered Market, and our brand name was inspired by Helge’s son, Ben (that’s him in our logo, illustrated by her dear friend and renowned artist, Sir Quentin Blake)
Since then, Ben’s family has been growing with new shops opening in select locations across England and the globe, and our cookie philosophy remains uncomplicated; freshly-baked everyday, all day with chocolate chunks “not chips”.
