Overly sweet, never uses real butter only margarine said the sales clerk. I was there at closing and the cases were full, they only take cash so I came back this morning. I asked what was baked today and almost nothing was according to the clerk still I bought a piece of coffee cake sickly sweet and at least three days old plus a dark chocolate macaroon not fresh either $ 7.95! A small brownie is $ 4.50! Trust me if they cared enough to use quality chocolate and cocoa I would have no issue, but they do not. The chocolate used on my macaroon left a greasy film in my mouth yuk!

Just came here for the first time to buy some goodies for Valentine’s Day. I was very happily surprised that they had carrot cake cupcakes, which was exactly what I was looking for. I thought it was fair priced and got 2 cupcakes and a chocolate chip cheesecake bar(sooooooo yummy and fresh tasting) for about $ 9. The only thing to note is that they are cash only, but they make it easy by having an ATM right in the store. I really enjoyed what I bought and will definitely come back!

So I’ve been here twice because I’ve been heard good things. The first time I ordered cinnamon roles, with and without nuts, and Oreo cookie cake brownie thingy. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. My son said the bronze was dry. Well fast forward to my second visit today. I ordered several things. The cinnamon rolls were sub par today and the costumer service even less. Your in a business to sell a product. So customer service should be of some importance. Not with the employee today. When I proceeded to ask her what flavor the unlabeled items were, she responded with such a constipated look of irritability on her face. I’m sorry I interrupted your day of doing nothing considering I was the only customer in the store. I won’t ever go back to this shop. Ever.

There are two listings on Unilocal for the same place if you didn’t notice. My photos are on the other one because it has more raitings. This is a great place to get breakfast pastries or dessert and eat on the beach or pier. Minus one start for price and being cash only

Went here for the first time with my friend who lives in Long Beach. She’d heard wonderful comments about their bakery items. The woman behind the counter was rude and unwelcoming. We felt like we were bothering her even though we were the only ones in the store. We purchased items anyway despite the treatment we received. Didn’t like the cash only policy either. Bakery items were good, but they certainly need better customer service.

Love this bakery. They have lots to choose from. Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, coffee cakes, etc. They have holiday cookies too, which are really good. I got the snowflake and snowman sugar cookies which were really good. It is cash only.

I had my mom and her boyfriend over for dinner the other day. They were in charge of dessert. They brought over 5 different Sweet Jill selections. My favorite was the cinnamin roll! By far the best cinnamon roll I have ever had! Cinnabon had nothing on this one! I can’t wait to visit the shop on Main street!

This is an evil place that deliberately pumps out the addictive scent of yeast, cinnamon and chocolate through their screen door. I didn’t know I wanted something sweet to eat until I was enticed in by the luscious smells as I rested from from serious shopping on the bench strategically placed outside. Yum! Delicious over-sized cinnamon rolls with your choice of either apple filling or walnuts. Yum. There was only one gal working there on a Friday late afternoon so service was a taste slow, but I’ve been the person who is the only one working so I cut people slack on that. It was recommended by another merchant and lived up to the recommendation.

Let me start by saying I really love this bakery! So, you’re probably wondering why I’m rating it 3 stars. My mom, sister, and I decide to walk into this bakery after going for a walk on the beach. Anyone who loves sweets as much as me cannot walk right passed this place, it smells amazing! I was highly disappointed with the customer service this morning. The middle age woman that was helping us was rude, distracted, and did not care to provide decent customer service whatsoever! My little sister wanted one of the FRESH out of the oven cinnamon rolls, the lady refused and packed up one of the cinnamon rolls already on display. Her response was, «they are the same anyway.» Then I asked for a chocolate chip cupcake and kindly asked her for one that was full(I mean I’m a Unilocaler that wanted a pretty cupcake for pictures, duh!), instead she gives me one where the middle is sunk in. Puts it in the box and says, «it’s the same exact thing» and she walks to the register. May I add, almost every time she spoke to us, her back was turned; didn’t even bother to look at us. At that point, I wanted to leave without the goodies and just tell her how rude she was. However, I really wanted the sweets and decided I would just make sure to Unilocal about it! What happened to those days where making the customer happy actually mattered? If it weren’t for this lady, this place would have gotten 5 stars from me. Until next time …

Cupcakes taste good, like homemade. We had a red velvet and carrot cake as well as a mixed berry scone. I wish they took debit/credit as I never carry cash on me.

Oh my, selection selection selection. I have only tried 5% of what they offer. There are cakes of all colors and flavors. I will say this place has a 50% success rate. A 1 in 2 chance of hitting it out the park. Examples of home runs are oatmeal raisin cookies, German chocolate cake and the cinnamon twists. Strikeouts include coffee cake and the plain vanilla cake. In a place with so many choices, you are bound to find a favorite, but may get thrown off track a few times. I’d rather they narrow down the options but up the quality. Either way great location and it is fun for the eyes to see all the variety.

You gotta love a bakery open until 10pm on a Tuesday. And it’s not French fru fru joint… solid spectacle of middle class treatery. Apple fritters and sugar cookies my friends. Ample sizes and stalwart if not elegant ingredients. Line up, pay your money, move along. Even at 10 at night.

Sweet sweet Jill’s is what I call it lol! First let me say that this place has a great variety of baked goodies. From cake to muffins to brownies, they have it all. The staff is very friendly. There is a very small eating area inside but if it’s busy you can forget it. My favorite is the banana cake with the cream cheese frosting and the walnuts. I only have this place 3 stars because they can be inconsistent with their product. But all in all they will satisfy your sweet tooth.

If you have a sweet tooth– this is the place to be! Biggest and best pastries in Beautiful Seal Beach Pier on Main St. Grab your favorite treat. They have so many to choose from. My absolute fav is carrot cake. German upside down cake. brownie with walnuts and the peach cobbler! Just to name a few !! Remember I said their portions are GI-NORMOUS! One is good for up to two people. But it’s so good. I doubt you will be willing to share: D enjoy! And walk it off with a long walk on the pier.

Just spent 16.05 on one macaroon dipped in chocolate, peanut butter brownie, cinnamon roll with nuts, and carrot cake. Macaroon dipped in chocolate is the only reason I’m not driving back to demand a refund. Very tasty… I wish I could say the same about the rest. Cinnamon roll taste like yeast is the only ingredient… And that its been sitting there for a week. Peanut butter brownie isn’t the worst but they clearly just take their brownie and smear on store bought peanut butter. And finally the carrot cake… Ew. I love carrot cake(even bad carrot cake usually makes me happy) but not this one. My friend and I have ripped this cake apart wondering what makes it their carrot cake besides the carrot drawn on the icing. It’s like they forgot the fundamental ingredient in carrot cake… CARROT! Not to mention I could buy albertsons brand cream cheese frosting that taste better than this. Don’t waste your money or your calories.

I don’t know why this place got low-ish stars! I actually had been here years ago, before Unilocal was big, and I couldn’t shake the memory of a magical store in Seal Beach where the baked goods were the size of your face. I’ve been wanting to go back ever since, to see if they baked goods would live up to my standards now that I desire more from a pastry than mere face-sizeness. The baked goods are indeed still ridiculously enormous and delicious. We got the cookie dough brownie and berry scone. Uh-mazing. Of course, if you ate everything here in the course of a week you’d probably pass out because the selection is immense and the sugar content is off the charts… but come on, who thinks about that healthy stuff?(I do, but only when I’m staring at the empty carton with a belly full of sweetness and shame). Long story short? Give this place a lookie-loo. Get something, ten things, I’m sure one of ‘em will be great. The service was just friendly enough, but not over the top.

Love hate relationship with Jills. Definitely more love. Amazing pastries and even more awesome cinnamon rolls! It’s a small hole in the wall type place, but everyone is always friendly and helpful when trying to choose what to order from all the amazing selections available. Ps. They only take cash, but have an atm inside if necessary

Cookie dough fudge brownie. Yes, you read correctly, Cookie dough fudge brownie. If I were to describe it as death by chocolate, it would be an understatement. It was good, so good, almost«to die for» good… almost.
