Macron- my favorite

The place is an icon! From cake pop, brownies, wedding cake, fun cake, salads & soup! They do it all. I was surprised to see them open in Saturday. They are usually delivering wedding cakes but on this day there were open. Which was nice. I got a Macaroon a picture with Gogru.

I discovered the Cookie Jar Bakeshop during the recent Bartow Bloomin' Arts festival. It is on Main street near the historic courthouse. Having missed breakfast I was in the mood for some sweet treats. The Cookie Jar has a breakfast menu that includes bagels, croissants, and quiche, soups and salads, sandwiches, and all kinds of coffee drinks and tea. They also sell some gift items like lotions and dip mixes. candles, and soap. On Wednesday's you can purchase a fully cooked dinner. Check their website for details. They also manage an event space called The Nest. The main reason I came in was for the baked goods and they looked tempting. They had some delicious looking cake pops but I ended up selecting a chocolate covered strawberry, a German chocolate bar, a gooey bar, and a red velvet cookie. All of that was a $17 including a Snapple. Seemed a little high but everything was good. I ended up picking at the box throughout the day. Consider coming here if you are looking to satisfy your sweet tooth or get a light lunch.

Dessert display

The Cookie Jar is THE small town, friendly dessert shop where the owner Shana, is friends with everyone, even if it's your first visit. Just like you see in a Hallmark movie. The food is delicious and the desserts & coffee blast your dopamine to the highest levels! You leave so much happier than when you first come in. This is the Cafe that Bartow residents have been coming to for decades! You have to try it too!

Very disappointed as they charged for boxes to put cookies and pastries in without informing me or giving another option, and there is a 3.5% credit card tax. Not worth visiting with the fees and very overpriced.

Messy piping job on raspberry cake

So I waited a bit before reviewing this bakery. I needed 2 8" cake, one raspberry mousse and one chocolate fudge. I called some of the bakeries I had used in the past and they only used raspberry jam filling. I knew of 3 other bakeries that definitely made raspberry mousse but they were out of the way. I wanted a specific chocolate cake (exactly like Carlos Cake Boss) and even sent photo. I decided to try Cookie Jar since they were close to my house. I ordered the cakes a few days before the party. We communicated through text and everything seemed ok. The day before, I asked when to pick up and was told it would by 12 noon. I then asked how much it would be...no response. The following day for some reason I thought they closed at 4 and planned on heading there at 3 but at 2pm I got a call from Shanna (?) asking where I was and informed they closed for the day!! Crap, I had no clue...my bad! She did tell she thought I was picking it up at noon. I told her no she told me it would be ready after noon but nonetheless I apologized and she agreed to meet with me at 5:30 but would have to pay now. I agreed. She went on to tell me that the raspberry cake would be $125 since I was busy it didn't immediately register that that was not the total for both cakes. She then informed me the chocolate cake would be $155 because it was homemade fudge. WTF!!! I explained to her I order gourmet cakes all the time I even order off Goldbelly! She then replied well then this should be nothing for you because goldbelly cakes are so expensive! What?? I have never spent even $100 on a cake from there! We went back-and-forth and I told her I asked the cost of the cakes and she never replied back to me and her response was "oh I thought you had already ordered from us before" She then told me she charges six dollars per serving. There is no way in hell you can get 20 servings out of this 8 inch cake. Yes, I paid...I needed the cakes!!! Were the cakes good? Meh, not $100+++ worth. There was absolutely nothing special about them. In fact, the piping on the raspberry cake was so sloppy. I have had cakes from all over the world, NYC, Paris, London, Switzerland, San Francisco. I was married to a baker for 14 years. I know cakes! I am including a photo of the cake I wanted to order online. It was a 10 inch for $64!!! I learned my lesson to verify the price but never would I thought it be almost $300 for 2 8-inch cakes.

Feast your eyes!

You can always tell when things are made from scratch, and this isn't one of those places.

Although Mel has had an Auburndale Flea Market presence for years, she just opened the brick &…read moremortar co-share space on Edgewood in April 2025 or so. (Shared with Magnolia Popcorn.) She has opened with guns blazing and lots of delicious sweets at good prices. She's enthusiastic and setting up a cute shop with everything behind glass or displayed nicely. I am an instant fan of her chocolate dipped pretzels and chocolate cake pops. Loved her banana bread with and without nuts. She has had some fun and tasty cookies, size large and two for $5. An interesting one was strawberry banana. Her cupcakes are beautifully decorated. I enjoyed a vanilla one with white frosting that was good but don't usually buy them. She has found that cinnamon rolls are popular in this area and has been experimenting with flavored ones--I enjoy the cream cheese covered one and a biscoff one. The lemon blueberry was okay (blueberry alone maybe better). Now she's trying savories. She had a lovely peach crisp recently. One Saturday she ran a BOGO on everything so it might be good to "like" her page and know if she does a great sale again.

I just told her I was fine with something simple and told her to do what she felt was best. She went above and beyond my expectations with probably 10 different t designs and they were perfect. Not only did they look great but they tasted even better. Thank you so much!! Highly recommend.
