Cookie Jar in Down

This is thE best place for baked goods, and offers a wide range of desserts and snacks. Haven’t been there in a while but can still remember the taste of some things.

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

The vegan sausage rolls in the cookie jar are AMAZING, so good that every time I go to get one they are either sold out or very few left! Would love to see some more vegan items on the menu

Delightful staff. Kind and cheery. Food is lovely. Buy a wheaten and have it sliced. smaller version further up the main town also.

Enjoyed a very good cuppa coffee and slices of aplpe crumble homemade - very welcome on a warm day window shopping in lovely Newcastle

Stopped in for some fruit bread to take home - lovely shop. Purchased some small cakes as well, very good.

My wife and I called in for a quiet cup of tea with traybacks as we walked around Newcastle and had a very relaxing time with refreshing tea and tasty traybacks! Will definitely be back. P.S. Very reasonable costs.

The food that we ate inside over a cup of lovely tea was beautiful. We also bought some sliced wheaten bread to bring home which was delicious.

After travelling most of the day I needed refreshment, and although it was near 5 o'clock they made no fuss about providing me with a good cup of tea and scone

cookie jar has fabulous bread. we buy 2 in partiuclar the Sourdough and the Wheaten. we sometimes cut and freeze. both really tasty and good value.

Called in for a coffee and snack. Staff were friendly and efficient and the coffees and scone were excellent. Purchased an apple tart to take home but were disappointed to discover that the fresh apples had not been used and the tart was consequently average at best. would have expected fresh apples when purchased in a home bakery and this has dragged down my score from 5 to 3 stars.

Highly recommend! The wheaten bread is AMAZING here. It's so delicious that I then bought three more loaves to put in my freezer at home! Friendly staff also :)

Called into this Cafe for a cup of tea and a scone. The scone was very nice albeit the butter was melted (not the fault of the cafe) it was a very warm day but the butter had melted so it was as if one was eating a dry scone. The seating area was very small and I could hardly get squeezed in to sit down because of the place being cramped. There were no toilet facilities in this cafe. However, I would probably call again.

We were advised by a local that this place has the best wheaten bread in Ireland. We bought a loaf and a couple of mixes to take home and had a tea and cream cakes while we were there. Everything lives up to the reputation,it as all very good and worth a visit.

great little place to pick up a quick coffee and scone and their wheaten bread is the best in Northern Ireland. We brought a mixture back to make at home. They sell great soup.

I don't want you to think this is not a good bakery it is. My gripe is the coffee shop end. We called in here today for coffee and cake and the cakes were yummy. I'm giving it the red card for

The cookie jar in Newcastle is one of the best shops around for breads coffee and tea their wheaten and soda bread outstanding I even brought. Some home to Blackpool put some in the freezer for three weeks or so and was still excellent.

Best wheaten bread around. Very disappointed on Saturday morning to be severed by a lady who handled my bread,collected my money, handled the till and give me my change in the same hands that had been in contact with my bread. This is a strict No! No! and is not acceptable and reflects very poorly on the management training protocol.

Back again to leave another review, but honestly could never say enough about this place! The prices for what you get, both sit in and take out, are amazing; and the buns and bread are second to none- compared to so many bakeries I've been in the Cookie Jar will always come out on top. You also HAVE to try their wheaten bread if you visit- it's a Cookie Jar staple and probably the nicest in the country. One word of warning- if you're visiting on a Saturday, be aware that the selection of sweet creme (or 'mock' creme as is said in Northern Ireland!) buns diminishes and there are far more fresh creme buns available.

Que tuve suerte cuando fuimos por aquí. Una encantadora panadería con tanta variedad y todo muy buena pinta. Yo sólo fui a comprar soda farls que parecía tan bueno en la ventana. Hemos decidido volver para té y café. La galleta con azúcar crema crema y donuts eran para morirse! Volvimos de nuevo para almorzar tarde y disfrutamos de sopa de verduras y pan wheaten. Oh, mi esposo también tenía un rollo de salchichas que quedamos atrapados. Sin duda, volveremos, ya que la comida era excelente y buenos precios. El personal era muy servicial y amable. Han sido amigos de la galleta diciendo tarro. Ganas de volver.

Siempre pare en la cookie Jar para comprar un Wheaten cuando estamos en Newcastle, hemos venido haciendo por años. . . Primer puerto de llamada.

clean, efficient fairly priced all in all a great wee spot, the cookie jar is a local bakery and café which sells a range of soups, stews and local dishes all in all great spot

No podría decir suficientes cosas buenas sobre este lugar! Hemos estado viniendo aquí durante unos 10 años y nunca he tenido una queja de una sola vez, y están constantemente diciéndole a la gente en casa de la panadería increíble en Newcastle. Gracias a todos por siempre tener una sonrisa sincera en su rostro cuando caminamos en la tienda! Espero volver por muchos años más!

No cream for coffee and very warm In there also there were quite a few children that were squeeling and being noisy, The food wa very good though.

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

I live in Switzerland and always bring some wheaten bread mix back with me - fantastic! I made some for my French colleague and now she wants it too. The French just can't match the delicious bread from the Cookie Jar!

I always go here and get a few wheaten and buns, the best in the whole of Northern Ireland, love this bakery. If you go to Newcastle this is a must stop, Enjoy as I always do.

Was here today with my dad and his partner. I really really enjoyed this place. I'm a big fan of coffee shops, bakery's etc and this one hit the spot. Had a warm refreshing cup of tea, a scone and a muffin. Really tasty, tender and soft. Would def recommend here to anyone.

This restaurant and bakery has been in business for many years and seems to get even better with age. The soda breads are delicious and a favourite with us is the coconut snowball.

Paid a hasty visit for scone and coffee, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, great variety of freshly baked produce. Place was busy, a great sign. On leaving I purchased several wheaten bread mixes to make at home, which I successfully accomplished. I will return.

Consistently good home baking. Specials on a Saturday but sell out quick due to demand and popularity. Experienced long term staff led by a family team.

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.

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

The best wheaten bread and white bread rolls in Co Down! Also a superb range of homemade pastries. And a few tables where you can enjoy a cup of tea.

Cookie Jar is a wonderfully warm and welcoming home bakery and coffee shop! Just love the smells of freshly made bread, pastries, and coffee when I enter the place! A little oasis when you step in off the street!!

Excellent value for money and friendly staff. Can sit in or takeaway. Nice selection of food. Only disappointment is that there was no toaster to toast the hot cross buns and scones so this would put me off returning here.

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.

The Cookie Jar is the centre of life in Newcastle. It is the ultimate place to hang out, the scones and wheaten bread are legendary in this town, and the staff is the most helpful and sometimes long-suffering you will find anywhere else, they all take an interest in regular customers and tourists alike they know everyones name, you won't get that kind of service in Starbucks!

What a lovely place. Friendly staff are extremely welcoming. A stunning array of freshly baked breads and goodies to choose from and the smell of the freshly baked wheaten is worth the visit alone! It tastes not bad either! Lovely.

When is a cake shop much more than a cake shop? When it's The Cookie Jar in Newcastle. This is a delightful little oasis on the Main Street quite close to the local chapel, and is always buzzing after 10.30 am as mass-goers flood in for coffee and craic. The food is very tasty, especially the apple pies! and my wife thinks they make the best cup of coffee for miles. On top of that, the staff are wonderfully friendly. What more could you ask?
