I just recently went back to this place after several years. I was surprised that this bakery is just as good as it was all those years ago! I was greeted immediately once entering. The service was excellent and the food was even better! The ambiance was very nice and cozy. The young lady named Anna who served me was very kind and polite. I will definitely be returning! read more

A very cute downtown little bakery with plenty of tasty pastries, cakes, muffins and sandwiches. Great coffee and my bacon, egg and cheese English muffin was delicious. Hot off the griddle, it was fresh and toasty with crispy bacon and a perfect egg. And the home made blueberry muffin was so tender fluffy and wonderful. A melt in your mouth experience. I bought a dozen of their cupcakes to take home and was delighted at how delicious they were. Chocolate, Cookies and Cream and Red Velvet to name a few. Service with a smile and very pleasant made it an enjoyable experience. Pick yourself up a dozen, when in the area. Oh, and cakes for any occasion. I didn't try one but I hear they are highly rated too. read more

The best cake and dessert shop The ice cream selection is also very comprehensive, including my four favorite flavors. The store also offers breakfast and lunch, which you can mix and match as you like, which is very thoughtful. read more

All yummy stuff! Sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was awesome, chicken salad sandwich on croissant was awesome. I think I also had the turkey bacon ranch sandwich on croissant that was awesome. I had the Chicken divan that was good, not my thing, but it was still good. Oh my gosh, I freaking LOVE the cooking cream sandwiches. They're freaking amazing! The cherry, blueberry and apple pastry things were freaking amazing! love this place! read more

Decent bakery. Their food is good, but nothing too special. The cannolis were tasty, but the eclair was okay. The breakfast sandwich was good, however the ambiance was lacking. The employee was very polite. I didn't try lots of their food or buy a custom made cake (which appear to be wonderful in other photos and reviews) so I cannot be too critical. Overall a decent bakery, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here unless I wanted a custom baked cake. If you're in the area and want a sweet treat though, come here! read more

I ordered a cinnamon roll $5.25, they looked heavenly, he warmed it up for me and it was delicious! The bacon egg and cheese was hot! the way I like it. It had plenty of egg and cheese and 3 slices of bacon and the biscuit was yummy $5.50, Yelp lists it for $4. Highly recommend the biscuit sandwich. read more

I have to share my experience with Jill's Cakes and Bakes! I needed a cake for a baby shower across the country and found this gem. From the very first call, they understood exactly what I wanted. Their communication was top-notch, and everyone I spoke to was on the same page.   I sent them some decorations for the cake, and they applied them perfectly! My family picked up the cake, and when it arrived at the baby shower, it was a showstopper. We received so many compliments on how beautiful and delicious the cake was. We also ordered 40 party favor cookies in various flavors, and they were a hit! Order from them and you won't regret your purchase!! (Excuse the green marker, wanted to cover up my nieces name) read more

It's so amazingly good. Best cake I have found. I am something of a cake enthusiast and have literally scoured the earth for great cake. This is amazing cake. Also some of the best cinnamon rolls to be found. Cookies are great too. We have used them for multiple events now and don't mind making the drive to Ball Ground; it's totally worth it. I legit want to go into business with the owner on another project; it's that good. read more

Amazing sandwiches for lunch! The meatloaf sandwich will make you take the drive to ball ground for the sandwich alone. Very friendly staff. Couldn't recommend this more! read more

I am only reviewing the breakfast at this time. I ordered a bagel (not baked in the house) tosted with cream cheese and a slice tomatoes and then the only items that they made in house which are the biscuit and croissant tosted with butter. I spent $10.08 for the 3 items. Sadly, the bagel was disappointing, thrybforgot to add tomato to the order (still charged me) also the bagel was so was tiny, and definitely not in any way gourmet, l so if you are used to panera bread bagels, then don't go here. You will be disappointed by just looking at it. Regarding the croissant and the biscuit, they were not gourmet or in any way special. Sadly, Publix bagels, croissants, and biscuits are much better quality I honestly hate having to write this review as I love to support local businesses but for almost $4+ dollars per item the quality should been much better. read more

It was OK. The best thing we ordered was the chocolate covered peanut butter balls. It was essentially a large sized buckeye. They should seriously consider a white chocolate version. The macaroons had a weird chewy consistency to their filling. I would not order them again. I am going to give this place another chance for sure. They have a lot of lunch options. Some of which sounded pretty interesting. The prices were reasonable. read more

Perhaps the worst macaroon I've ever had and the most blah cupcake. My visit here was inconsistent and hopefully not an example of the quality of their goods. I had a macaroon, a cupcake, and a peanut butter ball. The macaroon was just awful. There is no nicer way to explain it. The flavor was off, the shell was not crisp, and the filling had a terrible gummy texture/feel. It was chewy, almost the texture and feel of already chewed gum. After reading some other reviews I think I know what was wrong...it was old. The strawberry cupcake was...meh. The cupcake itself was fine, it just tasted and seemed very...Duncan Hines. The peanut butter ball was the best thing I had this visit. It was a ball of peanut butter covered in chocolate...you really can't get that wrong and it was good. Would I go back...not sure. If I do, I definitely will not be having another one of their macaroons. read more

Disappointing lunch! No eggs for an Eggwich, no white bread, no potatoes...must've hit them at a bad time. Two Turkey "plates" with two sodas...$28. Essentially one piece of iceberg lettuce with maybe two slices of Oscar Mayer turkey, slice of tomato, and a missing avocado, and some unknown sauce. Oh and you can't use the bathroom- as a paying customer. Suggested i go across the street to the little league field. Won't be back! read more

We went the other day and I got a few different sweets. The macaroons were ok, but the strawberry cupcake was pretty good. The Icecream was yummy as well. If you're in the mood for sweets, I'd recommend trying this place out. read more

This is my favorite place to get eclairs! Their lunch is also nice and refreshing. Small space, so don't expect to bring the whole family and stay, but a nice spot to grab a quick bite and tasty sweet treat. read more

Absolutely the BEST cannoli I've ever had. It was super crispy, super fresh and the filling had so much flavor! We will definitely be back :) my husband loved his banana nut muffin too. read more

They made a lovely strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting for my daughter's birthday. It was so delicious that we didn't have any leftover! It was beautifully decorated, ready on time and didn't break the budget. I'm so glad to have them close by. read more

Love this spot. Hidden in downtown ballground ga, you will find Jills bakery. I work for a service company and usually end up stopping by for breakfast. Will buy my kids next birthday cakes here though. Love supporting local businesses, as specially when the experience is always wonderful!!! read more

Stick to their sweets/baked goods and skip the actual real food. I got a tomato grilled cheese and was pretty disappointed. It was made with two thin slices of American fake cheese that weren't even melted all the way. I could easily make better at home in the same amount of time. I suggest using a generous amount of extra sharp cheddar, which is more expensive but totally worth it, and spreading the insides of the bread with mayo and mustard. The cannoli I tried was really good though, and the rest of the desserts looked yummy too. read more

I rated 2 stars because even though their bakery products are decent enough they recently changed their brownie recipe. A few months ago when I first went by their brownie was like something out of some first class New York bakery. Now it tastes like they're using a mix. I can make mix brownies at home. Please go back to your original recipe. I'd love to continue stopping by your bakery but not for box brownies. thanks! read more

Great little bakery in a cute downtown area. I had coffee and a bacon, egg and cheese croissant which was excellent. My date had a lemon poppy seed muffin and she loved it. You will not go wrong stopping here. read more

I stopped by unexpectedly today after having lunch right down the road! I have a habit of checking restaurants on Yelp before walking into them, and I saw Jill's Bakery's Yelp deal!! My friend and I purchased a cake pop, and with it, we got two free cupcakes! We both chose the strawberry. Oh my gosh, these cupcakes were GOOD. Their icing was cream cheese, and it was sweet but not over powering! I'm not an icing fan, so I did scrape some off (scraped off some calories?) but that was my own personal preference. The cake itself was so moist and flavorful, even right before closing! There were even some strawberry pieces in the cake. I loved that! Their service is awesome, and so was the food. I'll have to stop by again whenever I'm in Ball Ground! read more

Absolutely best red velvet cupcakes!! I will gladly recommend and promote for the local bakery!

Nice and affordable bakery. We had egg salad sandwich, different kind of biscuit sandwiches and coffee. Biscuits were super flaky and not doughy. Overall good food. No restroom in the restaurant but there's one public restroom right across the street read more

After an appointment in Ball Ground this morning I was starving, so I stopped by for breakfast. The Sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was nice and hot after a short wait; it was tasty, and the accompanying coffee was good. Sat outside and enjoyed a relaxed meal on a lovely morning. Pastries and desserts (especially the pecan cake slices) looked great, but my willpower held. A nice option for a quick bite of breakfast if in the area.. read more

I give this place five stars for the blueberry muffin alone! It's by far my favorite; it's perfectly baked being a little crispy on the top with a super moist center... and the baked sugar crystals on top just make it perfect. The breakfast sandwiches are also good. (Biscuits have a super soft doughy flavor I love) Just a homemade feel when you don't have the time to make it yourself. read more

I am new to the area and needed to order a specialized cake. I chose Jill's based on the ratings. I sent a picture of the cake I wanted and was delighted at the finished product! It was beautiful...and tasted amazing! I think I found my new local bakery! read more

My wife and I came up to Ball Ground to escape the hot oppressive weather in Florida and when we woke up in the morning we needed a nice breakfast spot. Jill's is a nice friendly spot to grab a breakfast sandwich, coffee, or a sweet treat. The prices are relatively cheap and food comes out pretty quick. The sweets look very enticing too. Jill's accept credit cards and Google Pay which I just began to use recently. You can get your receipt emailed to you to which I think is awesome and helps cut down on paper waste. If I ever find myself up here again I won't hesitate to stop on in. read more

Had the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. Good quality ingredients and well prepared. Biscuit was not quite as flaky as traditional southern biscuit... but still very good. Also had chocolate cannoli which was also good... not quite as rich and flavorful as I've had... but still good. read more

Great carrot cake. They have all sorts of goodies. The cake pops are great. I will order another birthday cake for sure in the future

A very mediocre place. I have given this place several tries and was disappointed each time. Cakes taste like boxed mix & icing tastes like canned. Cake decorating is unimpressive. Too bad. Because of quality of baked goods, I have no desire to waste money on anything else there. read more

Love this little shop! Great baked goods, ice cream, and breakfast sandwiches. Prices are fair and I have never had bad service here!

Finally a good bakery in Ball Ground! They offer breakfast, lunch and dessert. I stopped in for lunch after a friend told me how good it was and I was not disappointed. The chicken salad with grapes and pecans was delicious. Don't like grapes and pecans?! They have 3 other flavors of chicken salad in addition and other choices including BLT, Pimento Cheese, Egg Salad, Grilled Cheese and more. I had my chicken salad on a croissant that was so good it had to me home made. I also tried a banana cupcake, if you like banana bread it is a perfect finish to a delicious lunch and the icing is not too sweet. The staff is also very friendly - I will definitely be back! read more
