Friendly staff, cute spot. Cookies are small, over priced, and over cooked in my opinion.

Friendly staff, but cookies are small. The oatmeal raisin cookie was hard as a rock. Snickerdoodle and peanut butter cookies were fine. I mean I would never turn down a cookie, but I’ve had better!

Selection is not great, cookies are really small for the price. The peanut butter cookie had a really weird flavour and did not taste like peanut butter. The M&M cookie was very much a sugar cookie with M&Ms pushed into it. The ginger snap was the only saving grace. The flavour was good. The first two were very over baked and crunchy. The ginger snap was not crunchy but was a gooey like texture. The girl that served me was too distracted by her friends. Her friends just hung out while I ordered and were more or less in the way, as the whole place is very small. Would not return.

Just don’t get cookies here lol, cute location, staff was very friendly, but you’re there for the cookies and they tasted like chips ahoy basically. They have a great location purely for so I’m sure they do well because I’m sure it’s mostly likely tourists that go there but I’ll definitely remember not to go there again lol I didn’t even think to look at the reviews. And I got 6 cookies for $14.

Mic!

I love ed The Cookie Jar! the flavors were complex and simple at the same time. the cookies were soft but chewy and had the right bite to them. I cant say enough that the sugar cookies had better be in heaven when I get there. truly, this place is one of those special bakeries where you can taste the love.

This place is a quintessential New England harbor town spot. If you get there early enough, before say 10am, you'll find the owner making the cinnamon buns and talking with friends, locals, and fellow merchants who stop in for a morning chat and cup of coffee. It was very cool talking with him and other locals just hanging around. He is very freindly. The cinnamon rolls and breakfast sandwiches were delicious and well priced, especially for the area. There is a nice seating area outside if the weather is nice.

I bought three cookies for $7.50, at least that is what I thought at the time. I paid with a credit card, which the cashier noticed in my hand when I asked the price. However, after checking my account later, the cashier added a convenience fee without any notification. (No wonder she didn’t give me a receipt!) I know many businesses are charging the extra fee for CC usage, but there is usually some notification of the fee. This time there was nothing! That is just terrible customer service! To be fair, the cookies were good. But, I won’t be going back, due to the business’ deceit.

We purchased 3 different cookies oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, & ginger snap. They were all TERRIBLE. I took a bite & threw mine out. It's harsh but I have no idea how this place has been in business so long. Beyond disappointing

Tiny shop with outdoor patio. Being an avid baker, I know a good cookie from one that is made in a factory, frozen and baked in an oven. These cookies are so pathetic. Do not be lured by the sweet smells. Cinnamon rolls dry like toast.

All the cookies looked over cooked so we got a shortbread to try. Basically, no flavor at all.

Not sure about the texture of the cookies....the cookies are very light weighted too. We got the peanut butter ones and can't really taste the peanut butter. Definitely not worth it for how much they charge for them for 😅
