What EllieKIreland doesn't like about Cookie Jar:
Popped in here for scones and coffee after visiting Silent Valley. Scones were average, coffee was fine Unfortunately, and it is a big drawback, this cafe has no customer toilets. View all feedback. What Silveroscar likes about Cookie Jar:
Lovely fresh bread. Definitely recommend the wheaten bread. Not a great variety of pastries though. A small seating area which can be nice to nip in for a bowl of soup and a roll. View all feedback.

The Cookie Jar is worth a visit. Sour Dough bread pastries an cakes were always a hit with the young and old alike. Not to be missed when visiting Newcastle

All their products are great but we go for the wheaten bread, but some for a son and daughter in law, they love it.

Nestled in the heart of Newcastle, the Cookie Jar is a charming bakery and café that captivates visitors with its inviting aromas of freshly baked goods. Patrons rave about the delectable selection of scones, cakes, and especially the outstanding wheaten and soda breads. The friendly staff contribute to its warm ambiance, making it a favorite spot for a quick coffee or a leisurely treat.

Always been good, however their wheaten bread is not just as good as it used to be. Still a good standard though.

The food we enjoyed with a cup of lovely tea at this restaurant was fantastic. We also purchased some sliced wheaten bread to take home, which was delicious.
