Best Dessert Spot<\/strong>
Sweet Jill’s Bakery<\/h3>\n

Walking into Sweet Jill\u2019s on Second Street is like walking into a sugar-laced dream world where chocolate frosting covers the top of every brownie and pastries are pulled apart to reveal cinnamon-apple centers. Nearly 20 feet of display cases (her old location a few blocks down harbored slightly less) only adds to the temptation, showing off Jill Kinney Pharis\u2019 cookies, cakes and\u2014her claim to fame\u2014the old-fashioned cinnamon roll, which is topped with homemade icing that seeps into the perfectly gooey center. With a satellite location in Seal Beach and a branded concession in the new Long Beach Airport concourse\u2019s food court (where Jill makes her cinnamon rolls fresh every day), Sweet Jill\u2019s confections have become a Long Beach institution.<\/p>\n

Sweet Jill’s Bakery is located at 5001 E. 2nd St., (562) 438-4945, sweetjillsbakery.com<\/a>
