Traveler reviews
Suthida Chang
★★★★★5 years agoMy Brazilian flatmate recommended this cookie franchise to me the day before my day trip to Bath. Boy was I glad I bought a Ben's box - 7 cookies. These cookies are AMAZING. A bit on the sweet side though, but the chocolate chunks taste so good in these chewy & crispy cookies. They're huge too! Would definitely buy them again.
Amy K
★★★★★6 years agoLovely little place tucked away in Bath. With an impressive choice of flavours and melt in your mouth taste, I think anyone with a sweet tooth should give these cookies a try! Service was really good and although the shop wasn't too big, they served quickly to ensure it didn't get too packed. It's also worth saying that you can see the cookies being freshly made behind the counter. The smell is something else!
