Smells so good! Extremely hard not to go crazy and get one of each pastry. It's cash only.
Sweet Jill's never disappoints! You absolutely have to try the cinnamon rolls! You can get them with or without walnuts and with or without icing...but they are a must! Beyond those, because you can't walk out of a bakery like Sweet Jill's with just one treat, their deep dish cherry pie is the perfect combo of tart and sweet, every cookie they bake is a spherical piece of heaven, and their peanut butter pie will melt in your mouth. They have several locations but the Seal Beach location has the added benefit of a nice walk along the pier to burn those first bites off.
the people working at the counter were super chill and patient with me and my friends since it was our first time and we didn't know what to get, we ended up getting a cinnamon roll, a brownie and a cookie, each one was a hit.but the cinnamon rolls were particularly exquisite. you could smell them from down the street which was the prime reason why we wanted to check this place out! so good! so happy!
Yummy yummy baked goods. Great selection of brownies, cookies, cake slices, and while the drinks are nothing special, they are still good enough to not make an extra trip to a coffee shop. There's always a line out the door, but wait times are fairly quick. Staff is super friendly even when it's super busy. Unfortunately there's no room to enjoy your treats there so you'll have to take them home or on the street. Love this place, it's my downfall to healthy eating but it's a real treat!
This place is the go to spot for sweet treats in Seal Beach! Their cinnamon rolls are huge and delicious! My favorite item to get is the peanut butter cookie dough brownie. It’s a huge slice of brownie with chocolate frosting, peanut butter cookie dough and decadent chocolate drizzle. Its super rich and satisfies my chocolate cravings. I love the variety that they offer too. There’s something for everyone to enjoy at Sweet Jill’s!
Oh baby. Sweet Jill’s cinnamon walnut roll is absolutely delicious. If I had it a tad warmer is the only change I would make. It was soft, sweet and full of flavor. We are so glad we found this little gem while driving through seal beach, old town California.
OMG we can not resist visiting Sweet Jill’s Bakery when we visit Seal Beach.
Just open the door and the fragrance and smell of cookies and cake bowl you over.
The cakes, cookies and pastries are beautiful, colorful and home cooked in the store.
The staff is very patient and friendly. It’s a tough job because everything looks so good that’s hard to make a decision.
My husband loves the chocolate chip cookies and I favor anything with coconut on it.
Sweet Jill’s is an absolute treasure and fits perfect to add smiles on Main Street.
OMG CINNAMON BUN SOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!! Heads up it’s cash only!!
One of my favorite bakeries! They have a location in Belmont Shore and this one in Seal Beach. They have great chocolate cake, chocolate chip and cinnamon rolls slathered in frosting. The have other pastries and cookies but these are my favorite. Just sitting outside On their bench you can smell the wonderful aromas! Staff is very friendly and happy to help as you try to decide what to get. Be prepared to spend cash because that’s all they accept.
I walk Main street to the pier every morning. I remember walking by JIll's in 1987 when she first opened. I could smell the stickly buns baking in the oven. Everything they bake is home made perfection. i moved away and am now retired in Florida. I am going to Seal Beach for a vacation and was so happy to Google Jill's bakery and see she is still there. Not many things in CA last almost 40 years.
Unfortunately the cinnamon roll is not that great. Not much cinnamon. It's just a big airy bun. The icing is literally just powdered sugar mixed with water. But the macaroons are good. Not to be confused with Macaron. Everything else in the bakery looks amazing.
The carrot cake sandwich was incredible, definitely my favorite thing we bought. The cinnamon roll was also delicious and had almost a hint of maple flavor in my opinion. We also tried the cinnamon crispy, chocolate chip cookie and German chocolate cake. I also want to add that the gal working there was really great with our kids- she was really sweet and had great customer service skills. I’m excited to go back on our next trip to Seal Beach.
The walnut cinnamon loaf is the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever tasted in my life. So delicious.
If you know, you know. Is how to sum up Sweet Jill's. My favorite location is Seal Beach, less crowded than Belmont. If not on the street, you can usually find parking in the lot across the street. If you have a sweet tooth, you need to come here. My favorites are the pineapple upside down, and the coconut cake. Simply sugared heaven :)
Jill's has the best cinnamon rolls! They are delicious! The rest is pretty good too! But don't skip the cinnamon rolls!
We shared an apple cinnamon roll and a chocolate peanut butter brownie. Both were good, but we preferred the cinnamon roll. Serving are large enough to be shared.
