MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – There’s nothing quite like biting into a freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie, is there?
Cookie monsters would know – the best cookies are God’s gift from foodie paradise, especially if they’re baked with chunks (not just chips!) of chocolate and nuts, made not too sweet and just right.
Thankfully, London’s Ben’s Cookies is now in Metro Manila. Their first branch at The Podium opened in July 2019, while their latest branch in SM Mall of Asia opened on Thursday, March 5, 2020.
Ben’s Cookies was created in 1983 by chocolate cookbook author Helge Rubenstein who named the cookies after her son, Ben. After starting off as just a small stall in the Oxford Covered Market – the rest was history.
Within its 36 years of baking business, the well-loved brand grew from its humble origins to global success, opening branches in New York, Japan, Dubai, Bangkok, Korea, Singapore, and the Philippines.
