Reviews of The Cookie Jar

Joel Barrett

Lots of delectable baked specialties and other goodies, like Maple Syrup! Excellent selection of different coffee — you’re sure to find something you like.

B Edwards-Maschotta

SO GOOD. The blueberry donuts and scones are full of blueberry and not overly sweet. The donuts are delicious, and the employees are low key and helpful. So nice to stumble upon this bakery. Can’t wait to come back.

We used to get donuts every week at work from the Cookie Jar. My favorites are the plain and chocolate toasted coconut donuts. The cupcakes and cookies are a little too sweet for me, but nice every once in a while. They have several different types of coffee, all Coffee by Design. It is a decent brand. I prefer the darker roasts like Black Thunder. Not many places carry that many options. I have had many pieces of their birthday cakes over the years. I prefer them to grocery store bought cakes, but I also bake a lot at home. If you don't have the time, or skills, they are a great option for ordering cakes or other desserts.

Thomas Nolan

I have ordered several cakes for special occasions in the past year. Each time, guests rave about how wonderful the cakes look and taste. The cakes and the icing are by far the best tasting bakery cakes I've ever eaten and are less expensive than some other high profile bakeries. If you're a calorie counter, rest assured a piece of this cake will be worth every one.

Best! We were there at Portland Head Light for sunrise and this was open on the way back. Blueberry bagel was out of this world! We also tried the Boston Cream Bismark and it was really nice without sweetness overpowering. Also had both hot and cold coffee. Highly recommend!

Audrey “Theaudestcooper” Cooper

You must go here. Even if you're nowhere near it you should still probably go ;) Amazing house made pastries including fresh Danish, huge and beautiful donuts, cookies galore, cupcakes and pies. Large shop with plenty of room to enjoy your treat. Large assortment of coffee by Coffee by Design. Helpful, friendly staff, and good prices! Just an unbelievably fantastic place.

If you love old school bakeries, you need to try this place! Their donuts and pastries are to die for! We got donuts, a double chocolate cupcake..which my son devoured, and a gingerbread lady. Love this place and we always try to stop whenever we are in Portland!

Stephen Lee

Great vanilla coconut donuts! Lots of other donut varieties to choose from. Prices are a bit high, but not too bad. Very large selection of coffee flavors, too. Very friendly staff.

Reema Srivastava

I bought donuts and cream filled cookies! They were heavenly.This place has visually appealing cakes, donuts, bagels, cupcakes. We stopped at Cookie jar on our way to Portland Head light and I’m going to do that again.

Leah Belber

Very cute! Lots of pastries and goods

Kasey Marsters

Oh. My. Gosh. So delicious! Pleasant experience The donuts are so good! Boston Kreme donut is a MEAL! PLUS, GREAT COFFEE

Benjamin Burt

Best donuts and crullers on the planet and that's no exaggeration, but for a second I thought the woman behind the counter was going to rip the box out of my hand and yell "no crullers for you" Next!!!!!!!!! Keep that in mind when entering, she's a crotchety one for sure!

Priscilla Arsenault

The donuts at the Cookie Jar are generous in both their size and taste! I especially like their jelly donut. Unlike other places, you'll find way more than just a smidgeon of jelly inside. So many flavors and varieties to choose from, including muffins, danishes, etc., it's hard to decide!

Swrrly Grrl

3.5 stars… because they’re independent and locally owned and around a long time. Just had a strawberry rhubarb pie from here… without any strawberries or rhubarb in it. More like jelly donut filling. Donuts are decent. I guess I prefer a different baking style… too white flour.

Larry Green

One word. AWESOME! Great donuts for a great price. I recommend the raised glazed or the apple glazed. They were both fantastic. All the items they have are made fresh in store! Staff is friendly and very helpful.

Holly McLean

This place is the best place for pastries and cakes!! Donna is so amazingly talented, friendly and personable. She understands the high-costs of weddings and tried to make the pricing easier for couples. Well she went above and beyond here! Everything tasted so fabulous, we received free coffee during our cake tasting. Also, our first Anniversary cake was fabulous! You can tell she really takes pride in what she does and even in the preservation of our first Anniversary cake.

Marcelino Perez

The best doughnuts and pastries in town every time I visit Maine is one of those shops that are hard to find I’m from California and sadly I have to say that there’s isn’t nothing like that in California

Yared Armstrong

Love this spot. Their donut holes are next level good. They also have a great variety of cookies! If you’re looking for sweets - it’s a must try.

Dannette Killinger

Awesome home made pastry, soups, and doughnuts. Great coffee as well.

Matthew Roy

Great local place for donuts! Loved the donut holes we got - they were so good!

Desiree C

Get the chocolate chip cookies. Get them. And the pumpkin donut holes. Cookie pictured wasn't my favorite but it was the only thing I could take a picture of because I ate the rest too quickly

maria tremblay

I ordered a birthday cake the other day and picked it up today.. a few hours later we dug into the cake.. it was EXTREMELY DRY... it wasn't worth eating. And to also add..it tasted like it had been frozen overnight.. the consistency was not good at all. I spent about 35 bucks on a cake that I am very disappointed in.. waste of 35 bucks.. but besides that the frosting was good! Probably the only good part of the cake.

Bridget Portune

Oh my! Such amazing donuts! The real donut shop kind! Amazing coffee selection too!

Amanda DiPasquale

If I had to describe the Cookie Jar in one word, it would be AMAZING!! I was in town visiting & came across the Cookie Jar and just had to check it out! I’m gluten free so it’s very hard to find bakeries that carry gluten free. Luckily the Cookie Jar offered gluten free cupcakes. Let me tell you it was the BEST gluten free baked good I have ever had!! I wish I could have had all of the other goodies, but I don’t doubt that they’re just as good! Great customer service, great baked goods & an adorable name! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Maine!

Lori Langley

Delicious..omg..soo soo good..and polite..old school mannorism..liked it ALOT!!

Alyssa Gilbert

Amazing bakery with incredible service! We were very indecisive due to all of the options and the employees were incredibly kind, friendly, and informative about the different pastries available. Great prices too! Can't wait to come back and try more in the near future!

Clifton Forlines

People go nuts for donuts from that other place, which are fine, but if you want a crazy-good as-big-as-your-hand donut then try the Cookie Jar. They also sell traditional birthday cakes that taste like a birthday cake should. If you are unsure of what to try, grab a red-velvet and/or apple donut. I'd go with 5 stars, but they've had trouble at times during the pandemic supporting curbside pickup.

David Martinez

If you want a traditional yeast based donut, skip Holy Donut and come here. I ordered the chocolate glazed and boston cream. The chocolate glazed was a little to sweet for me but my kids liked it, the boston cream is packed with filling. The donuts are large and the staff is very friendly. I would give this a 5 star but I compare my donuts to the Blue Dot in New Orleans.

Tessa Hathaway

So many great options all day, but especially for donuts. Classic homemade taste, nothing too fancy. Cute little shop. The discounted donut holes on a shelf towards the front are always a great call too!

River Heckman

cute bakery with great traditional sweets! i got a lemon bar and an eclair! the eclair was crusty which i don’t usually expect from an eclair but it was still delish especially with a cup of coffee. comin back soon for some donuts

Jean Johnson

Always sale items. Carry a variety of items. We'll maintained. Clean shop.

Scott Linscott

Our routine is to burn a ton of calories by pedaling a 35 mile route with a stop at The Cookie Jar at the 25 mile mark to eat a bunch of calories. The donuts are giant, the pastries are phenomenonal and the Coffee By Design coffee selection is always good. We plan our cycling routes specifically to include a stop whenever possible. So good! The only negative? Sometimes it is too popular with a long line or they might run out of your favorite before you get to order.

scott rickman

I’ve always loved the cookie jar. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years. I recently ordered my first cake from them and it wasn’t what I expected. The owner and staff were amazing in the way they handled the situation. They solved the problem right away even though they were very busy. So nice of them as this was a birthday cake for my 14 year old daughter. Just an amazing place!😊

Tom Grunwwald

If you enjoy a great canoli, try it out. 😉 …

David VanLuke22

This place has EXCELLENT DONUTS! I have lived in Maine for a year and have not yet enjoyed a donut anywhere! Dunkin is the bane of my existence! Holy donuts are interesting but too oily and fatty. The only reason that Cookie jar isn't getting 5 stars; is that there are no masking signs, nobody who worked there wore a mask. It's time to get with that! Will be back though!

Frank Montísa-Smöl D

Great shop, but they struggle to respond to demand (good problem to have, I suppose!). For example: On each of my last 4 visits, Cookie Jar has been sold out of their cream & raspberry-filled turnovers. Seems like a trend, ya? Maybe produce more of high-demand items? Doesn’t seem like the hardest thing to figure out in the age of big data, analytics, etc. Anyhow, big fan, love long time, byeeeeeee

Tanya Gines

It’s always a special treat to come in here. The smell of fresh Rye always brings great memories of my childhood! Their selection of treats is very good! They have the best Boston creams!!

Kim Alexander

If you love bakeries you must check this one out. You walk in and there are so many scrumptious treats! There is a cute seating area inside if you want to enjoy your treat there. The donuts are fresher, bigger, and worth a little more. The service is friendly and they have coffee for you enjoy in several flavors!

Alicia Smith

Okay, wow, these donuts are incredible.. They have a wide assortment, and they are freshly baked. Clean environment..

motahareh tavakoli

Delicious donuts and other pastries. My only complaint they sold out very quickly, there is almost nothing left if you stop by around 4pm.

Michael Crippa

Huge Donut's Great Price & Tast Great!!!

Rory Benjamin

The Cookie Jar is utterly amazing! The donuts are rich and flavorful beyond belief, and man they are gigantic as well. I swear the jelly donuts feel like they weigh close to a half-pound each! Prices are very reasonable and the service here is good. This is probably my favorite donut shop in the greater Portland area.

Colby Geoffroy

Every time I’m in Cape Elizabeth, I make sure to stop in at the cookie jar. It’s just a small little bakery/ coffee shop and it’s easy to miss, but inside is amazing. The place feels open and bright while still having a huge variety of both pastries and coffees to choose from. All of the food is made in house fresh and is both delicious and huge while still being very gracious to your wallet. The employees there tend to be helpful with picking out what you want and answering any questions you have and seem like they genuinely enjoy working there. In my opinion, no trip to Cape Elizabeth is complete without a stop at The Cookie Jar. I’m very much looking forward to the next time I’m in the area.

Art Dillon

A little dissapointing with last phone call as I need to place an order for Danish....which is fine. Did it more than 24 hours in advance....they had to check and call me back....ok they did about 6 hours later (thought they forgot)....and said they would not be able to make the 6 large Danish for the next day. I understand being short staffed but it was dissapointing. At least I didnt drive 30 minutes out of my way 😁

Rachel Poth

Their donuts are delicious and the portion is huge. One donut will fill you up but there is nothing wrong with that. The selection is pretty stellar too, long list of donuts available daily. It's super convenient when heading to fort Williams or two lights to eat breakfast by the beach.

Jeanette Dantuono

Great donuts.. pastry looked good also. Not much parking.

Kelly Torres

Delicious, very large donuts. My kids and I took a field trip day to the Portland area and were on the lookout for a place that made yeast style donuts (aside from the D&D on every street corner). Everyone seems to make the heavier cake-style and potato donuts, except this place. The older lady behind the counter was very friendly and polite to my kids, so that's always nice. While we don't make donuts a regular part of our diet (wouldn't that be great if we could!), we will definitely make this our go-to place for the yeasty treats whenever we're in the area.

Michael Beveridge

Cookies, cakes, donuts, pies, bagels, muffins, breads, plus other pastries and LUNCH! If I missed any deliciousness, my apologies. Quite simply, their items are fantastic and the problem becomes what to order without going broke or ending up stale a week later cuz you bought too much stuff.

Todd B

Nothing beats fresh hot bread or cookies! Loved every bite.

Daniel Brown

We love this place. It became a tradition to stop here when we took weekend vacations north, and we always looked forward to it. All the pastries we tried were great. Good coffee is available for a pick-me-up, and the day-old shelf often had great deals for a snack to take on the road.

Joe Presser

These are the Portland area’s best doughnuts bar none. No need for gimmicky starches in these doughnuts, and the taste speaks for itself. It says, in Mario’s voice “I’ma number one! The staff here is not quite as sweet as their products, but the taste more than makes up for it!”

What in the World with Kevin Sandes

My most favorite shop for donuts other than the Eighty 8 Donut Truck! *It's kind of a secret place around town

Ryan Eling

This is the ONLY place to get donuts in the greater Portland area. Melt in your mouth deliciousness! I have more faith in their chocolate glazed donuts than I do most people in my life... They will not disappoint. And you haven't lived until you've had their Red Velvet Donut: unreal. 5/5, will donut again.

Sarah P

Always a wonderful experience. The ladies up front are so sweet and very helpful. Of course the donuts are AMAZING. Try the chocolate stick, you’ll never want to get anything else! So simple and perfect.

Tiffany Smith

So far best donut and bakery shop I've been to and I've been to many as I am an avid baker! Well worth my hour and a half travel!

Rob H

Excellent cookies, cupcakes and the best doughnuts we've ever tasted! The molasses cookies were as good as my grandmother used to bake and the service was incredible. This shop is just a mile away from a beautiful lighthouse so if you are in the area, you have to stop and try something.

Mark Jordan

Quaint, old-school bakery. Great donuts & pastries, and the coffee is hot and delicious. A little gem!

Mark Devine

They did our wedding cake in 2013 and it was wonderful. Ever since, whenever we need a cake we call them. The quality is great and they are wonderful to deal with - even on short notice. Oh, and their donuts are amazing!

Scott Wykes

Wow, the absolute best! Well crafted artisan donuts and pastries. Their "day old" items surpass competitor's "fresh". They have always been a community partner in supporting local youth and others. Stopping here is a must whenever visiting Maine family!

Meghan Mageles

The best bakery in the greater Portland area. Been around for ages, and their quality has never been lost. Many pastries, cakes can d other goods can be made to order and they serve locally made CBD coffee at a self serve station. The raspberry filled cookie and plain raised glazed is highly recommended

Bill Devino

Family owned and run. Small little pastry shop. You have to stop at this little GEM. The donuts are huge and incredibly delicious. Whoopie pie is just perfect. The cookies. I can't say enough. We live south of Boston Mass and we will be back before Christmas.

Greg Goodwin

Two things caught my attention when I walked in: First, despite there being about 10 customers, it was as quiet as a library, muffled talking and no music playing. Second, the large size of their delicious donuts! The Boston Cream was definitely worth getting. They had creative flavors too!

Tom Oeste

Friendly staff and lots of fun treats. Interesting combination of fresh donuts and classic bakery fare.

William MacCallum (Mac)

Great donuts, bread and soups! Cute staff!

Angelica Eling

I will drive past 3 other donut places in the 45 minutes it takes me to get to the Cookie Jar. Their donuts are that good. Our favorites are the Red Velvet Glazed, Chocolate Glazed, and the Boston Cream. Amazing.

Jean Denis

Awesome as always. Will be dack

Abel Cota

I'm not a fan of sweets but my wife is. Overall it had a good selection of products. Not really any prices or labels for the names of them so you spent more time explaining which pastry you wanted in the case then anything else. Parking was very limited or at least not labeled as to where you'd be allowed to park without fearing a tow truck.

Cynthia Hepworth

Stopped by while in town for some donuts and the blueberry and Boston cream donuts were very good.

Krista Peterson

I love The Cookie Jar! I frequently tell my friends and family that they need to stop by and experience the awesomeness that is The Cookie Jar. A friend introduced me to the Cookie Jar a few years ago and now I can't stay away. My favorite is their red velvet donuts..(also favorite among family and friends too). You'll have to get there early because they sell out fast, once they're out, they're out for the day (once in awhile they make more in the afternoon but it's not guaranteed). They have a variety of coffees, juices and other drinks offered. As well as cannoli, breads, cookies, Whoopie pies, pies, muffins and donuts...and more. I recently tried their red velvet and chocolate chocolate chip muffins very sweet and plan on getting again on my next visit. The staff are super nice... I've never had a bad experience here. I highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat and coffee!

Jane Croston

Good little bakery, with the nice addition of soup and sandwiches and very good coffee. I would give 5 stars, but find them a bit pricey. Still and all, it's all good and if you have a sweet tooth- don't miss the filled cookies.

Andrew Johnson

I am surprised that there are any reviews lower then five stars. Not only does this place have amazing pastries but they are really affordable. At the Cookie Jar, you can literally have your cake and eat it too.

Christina Callahan

The absolute most DELICIOUS donuts I’ve eaten in my entire life. I’m from south Florida and eating here made me realize how much our donuts in Miami suck. I can’t wait to go back to Maine to eat these donuts 😋 …

Angel Geraldino

The staff was crazy helpful when I asked questions about their menu the chocolate donut was a little too sweet for me but Its still one of the best donuts I’ve ever had! Keep it up

Lisa Clark

Delicious pumpkin and blueberry donuts. We got a few other treats and everything was great!

amanda farrell

For a place to be called the cookie jar I thought they would have had more cookies or gormet/specialty cookies. I got 2 oatmeal raisin cookies they were ok I've definitely has better. I also got 2 carrot cake cupcakes they were really dry and crumbly. The best thing was the mini cheese danish I wanted a large one but they didn't have it. I also wanted some dinner rolls but they didn't have any. I probably wouldn't come back again.

Tarang S

Cute place with simply delicious doughnuts!

J R

Amazing homemade desserts in a tiny cute shop in Scarborough Maine! Everything is awesome and it’s tempting to buy everything in the store. Every time I’m there which is only a couple times a year, I buy as much as I can afford ;)

Rick Carlisle

Very tasty. Customers are happy, this is a happy place. 12/24/22 I've been twice in as many days...

Marlena Ross

Forget the holy donut. Come here to buy a dozen instead, you won't regret it. Great raspberry filled sugar cookies too. Nice people.

dan tirrell

A great little bakery in Cape Elizabeth. Had an awesome strawberry donut.

Katie Hatch

Love this bakery! Great stop for sweet treats. Making lots of classic baked goods. The Cookie Jar has been around for ages & had been true to its customers by not getting trendy. Love that!

wolfhound7919

First time here, from out of state, my girlfriend who is a South Portland native exclaimed they had the best donuts in the world. She was right. Amazing pastries.

JoAnne Gordon

Was visiting Maine, and my friend mentioned she was going to the Cookie Jar. I knew that was a place I needed to visit. The staff was so friendly and the treats were very good. You'll want to try one of each sweet treats.

K Ciardi

My first job in high school 30ish years ago and they are still one of my favorite chocolate chip cookies!!! And molasses and sugar and toffee, lol! When mom comes to visit she makes it extra special bringing me cookies. And a ride to Fort William's isn't the same without stopping for a treat!

Rob Tracy

Been going here since I was a child and it never changes!

Richard Gordon

Great People,Plain donuts are awesome!!!

Rachael Coleman

A visual and olfactory delight. Large glass display cases filled with baked confections, and the aroma of fresh brewed local roasted coffee

Roy Harper

The Cookie Jar is a small, locally owned business. They offer a great variety of freshly baked items that are baked in-house; jncluding muffins, donuts, rolls, breads, cakes and as the name suggests, COOKIES! The Cookie Jar had a small place for eating. There is also a coffee bar with an excellent selection of coffees roasted locally. The Cookie Jar is a local favorite, rightfully so.

Jane Doe

The cookie crunch. Cookie was the best but its been discontinued 😣. Doughnuts are good not great but better than most. And they have a great molasses cookie. Great chew. Staff are very friendly. …

Tina Lemay

OMG, what a find if you're going to indulge! Home made donuts, scones, breads, cookies and awesome coffees! If you're going to eat sweets, get it from a place like this.

Ian Mcburney

Wide selection of donuts and other pastries. And of course coffee. If you love old fashioned style Donuts this is the place for you! Stop is always friendly and prices are reasonable.

Evan Spoerl

Not a bad choice to be made here! This is the only place around I have found that can bake a perfect bear claw, available in a variety fruit fillings. Such a special treat.

Chris C

This is one Cookie Jar you WANT to get your hand caught in!

Edward Sihler

Good traditional baked goods. The day old rack is a wonderful way to save money. The pre-made sandwiches are good. The bread is great. I am frequently asked to bring baked goods from here to meetings.

Bill Hixon

We have traveled the state and visited bakeries all over. The Cookie Jar is by far our favorite. We made the trip from Augusta just to get some fresh baked goodness !!

Melissa Doughty

A local favorite for donuts. They come in many varieties, and are made on site. They also offer cookies, breads , and assorted pastries. Come see why it has been a favorite for generations.

John Enzweiler

Great place to crush a sweets craving

D

The best cakes and cupcakes I’ve had! Real, original Italian buttercream frosting!

Kim Cotton

Long time family bakery store jam packed with favorites including the Whoopie Pie! It's a destination for locals and visitors alike.

Mary Ann Garner

All 31 of our 4 generation family members frequented the Cookie Jar during the first week of June. Ages 4 months to 73 celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. We came from Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Texas. We introduced new in-laws to the Raspberry Filled Cookies, Cream Horns, Whoopie Pies and the best/biggest donuts ever! We have fond memories of all the goodies. The Cookie Jar is usually our first stop when we arrive in the Portland area.

Marianne Leavitt

I travel past at least 4 bakery's from Portland to the Cookie Jar, because their cakes and pies are just a part of the holidays, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Love them.

Katrina Shaffer

One of the best bakeries in the Portland area. Nothing fancy but worth a stop when in the area. Come hungry!

Peter Carney

James Tanner

Fine selection of specialty jams, jellies, candies, maple syrups and salsas. Many homemade! They have fudge. Creamcycle and sea salt caramel awesomeness!

Emily Robison

So yummy! I loved that it felt so cozy inside with a couch and kids books. It was super affordable as well. We paid just a few dollars for several cookies, a brownie and more.

Justin McDowell

Fantastic selection. Giant doughnuts that are just delicious! Excellent selection of coffee by Coffee By Design just makes this place that much better.

Heather Burgos

I've always heard great things about The Cookie Jar. I got a chocolate chip muffin and omg it was soo good and still warm. Best chocolate chip muffin I ever had!

Taryn Marchant

Even though the donuts are amazing... the young employees they are bringing in are so rude and unfriendly it’s sad that they are making years of loyal customers not want to come back

Scott Whiting

Not a great place to go if you're driving -- parking is limited and perilously close to the street -- but fortunately for me, I live here and can walk. Excellent cupcakes, donuts, and cream horns.
