Spilt Milk

I ate my food too fast to take a picture but I highly recommend this place. The quiche of the day was delicious and sitting outside in the back was a very special treat. I tried a caramel thumbprint cookie and by the time I went to get another one the rest were sold out and I can see why! After we sat in and ate some food we picked up some to-go cardamom teas for a walk. I'll be back thanks for the great food and service.

Tucked away in Oak Park, this sweet little bakery fills the morning air with the scent of fresh treats. Inside, bright murals and irresistible chocolate cookies create a cozy, cheerful vibe. It’s a must-visit spot — the prices are a bit high, but the quality more than makes up for it.

I’ve been a couple times before and didn’t really love anything that I tried but I love a local bakery so wanted to try again. I placed an order for a Friday meal and wow, it was so good! I also purchased a couple of slices of pie and loved them. Prices are high for the baked goods ($25 for two slices of pie and a cookie) but I’m okay with that as long as the taste is good. I can’t afford that regularly but I’ll splurge every once in a while. Will definitely check out the Friday meals more often! Glad I gave it another shot.

Cannot say enough good things about Spilt Milk! I organized a scavenger hunt for my sister and Meg was so incredibly kind in helping me arrange a cookie pick up & the team attached the clue in such a thoughtful way. The cookies were absolutely delicious and the presentation was so thoughtful and appreciative.

I stopped for a quick bit of food cause I was doing inspections in the area and was not disappointed. The sandwich was difficult to eat at first cause my mouth wasn’t big enough. This biscuit was huge, most likely cause it was fresh. The biscuit was on point and I’ve never had eggs so fluffy either! I also got a peanut butter cookie. So good!! Would recommend. Coffee was coffee, it’s a bakery though so …

I've been purchasing the key lime pie for years. Bought it for work, birthdays, holidays and just had a taste for it. I believe the price was around $30.00 then. I know and understand the cost for everything has gone up, the pie is at $49.50 now. However, if you need to charge more, please, please use the original ingredients that made everyone be willing to pay this high price. I just purchased the pie today 5/3/25 and it did not have much flavor mostly tasted sugar and alot of cream. I would like to continue to purchase from you. Please do better. Best, RRR

I stopped in to try a coffee and a breakfast item. I bought a cold brew with milk, an espresso scone, honey scone and a coffee butter cookie. I enjoyed all the items. The "cafe" was clean, employees were attentive and helpful, the menu for food and drinks had a lot to choose from and the atmosphere was calming and inviting. There are places to sit inside, in the front outside and a nice comfy outside patio in the back. I loved everything about this place including the name. The windows in front allow you to watch the bake goods being made, they have grab and go items for quick lunch and other items you can buy that are prepacked for gifts etc. I will visit again soon. If you are in Oak Park you have to stop by this wonderful little bakery cafe.

I’ve loved Split Milk’s baked goods for years. Big fan of their cookies. I do have to subtract a star for the prices being oof - expensive, $4 for a big cookie. Loved their small private patio on the back of their store

Clean, warm, welcoming. Beautiful mural on back wall painted by local artist. Nice open artisan bakery where you can watch the bakers in action through the front windows. Cookies, pies, croissants (two choices on the Sunday I visited: 1. Almond. 2. Ham and Gruyère.). Freezer with take and bake options. A few well chosen books, chocolates, etc available as well. Excellent espresso, long draw. The almond croissant was beyond phenomenal. Flaky, lots of slivered almonds, sprinkled with powdered sugar, just the right amount of almond paste. Again, phenomenal. I must confess, about six months ago I had a negative experience with poor service here. But now, it appears the service issues have been addressed and resolved. Five stars plus. Of note, opened at 8a, by 830 no more almond croissants available.

The 4 stars are for the pastries. They're really 5 stars. Every baked good I've had here has been amazing. Key Lime pie is incredible. Scones, cookies, quiche--all good. Breakfast sandwich I had once was barely edible, but don't really count that. The baked goods are amazing. But beware of ANY drink modifications. I ordered an Oat Milk horchata steamer. Which "starts" at $5. I needed caffeine but love horchata. "Can I make that a horchata latte?" "Sure. What size?" "Large." "It usually comes with 3 shots, and is oat milk still ok?" "Yep." The drink was $11.00. Eleven Dollars. So I got a scone and a drink. And the total for those 2 items with tax was $17.44. This place is regularly expensive anyway. But this was...extra. That's really a 2 star situation, that. But the baked goods are really top notch. So.

Service was exceptional. Light deserts and bakery items were good. Very cozy environment. Definitely worth checking out.

The baked goods are wonderful, the biscuits, scones, cookies and cakes are among the best I've ever tasted. Service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend

Delicious pastries. I especially enjoy the Mexican chocolate cookie and almond croissant. Coffee is mediocre but I had drip coffee rather than my typical espresso. Even so, drip coffee can be a litmus for custom coffees. The shop is beautiful with a little seating inside. There's more seating out front and a patio in back. Ambiance is lovely, as is the staff. Everything is pricey but delicious. Parking can be a little difficult but there is some paid parking across the road and a few hours free parking of you walk a few blocks.

Cute small cafe/ coffee shop in the oak park neighborhood. I stopped in to grab a drink and check out the ambiance on an early morning Wednesday. I decided on a small oat milk horchata steamer. It was a Fall 2023 special. It's incredibly small for the size to the price of $3.75 but was insanely delicious. I believe the cafe could stand to put their prices on the boards regarding the food selections that way patrons are aware. My only only reason for four stars was the price of the drink versus the size. The prices are fairly high but the quality being served is amazing. I will return to check out their savory quiche options.

After ordering a pie for Thanksgiving, i received instructions to wait for a confirmation text that my item was ready before coming to pick it up. That morning, I called to check because I hadn't gotten any texts. The person who answered was snappy: they were closing so I'd have to pick it up within 30 minutes. When I got there, the woman was quite rude and didn't even have it ready to go on a table, I had to wait for 6 minutes for them to bring it from the back (!). For all that, the pie was just so-so, half of it was left at the end of the night while the other one was wiped out. I decided it's just not worth the price, or the hassle of dealing with the inconvenient pick up process and the prima donnas, especially when I'm hosting and juggling many other details the day of. So thankful for other yummy options in the village

First time going to Spilt Milk; I've lived in the area forever and JUST found out about this hidden gem in Oak Park! Staff was super nice, my latte was excellent and the slice of pumpkin bread I had was to die for! It feels cozy and friendly and warm! For sure will continue going there now that I found it!

3 times I have ordered a pie online only to get to the shop for them to tell me they sold it to someone in line. 4 times I was physically in line looking at a pie in the display case only to be told it was already sold online. Staff was rude to me and offered no form of compensation for driving an hr out of my way to pick up a pie that never existed. I was one their first customers 10 years ago. Beyond disappointed in the establishment as the owner told me they aren't worried about my concerns as they pump out $4k+/ day orders. I too am a small business owner and did not expect that response. My family, especially my daughter went without a pie for her first thanksgiving.

Good thing I don't live in OP anymore! Yet somehow I've still been here a couple times. It would not be good for my waistline for sure. So many good things to try on their menu! We've had the ham and Gruyère sandwich, rainbow m&m cookie, apple pie, coffee with cream, hot tea, and all have been delish! Also got cute sparkly birthday candles here! The staff couldn't be more patient, and nicer. You're paying a slight premium, but honestly it's so worth it! Can't wait until the next time I have an excuse to swing by!

My friend used to live in Oak Park, and she gifted us this delicious sour cherry pie. The crust is flaky tastiness and held up to the tart cherries. Can hold its own among pies from Hoosier Mama, Bang Bang, and First Slice.

AVOID! I agree with the others about them going downhill. There are much better local bakeries in Oak Park. Prices here are much higher than every bakery yet quality is poor and keeps going downhill. Very bad service from all of the very rude teenage staff, food not fresh, charging more than Publican and better bakeries.

Friendly staff, quick service, I tried the turmeric chai and had a meat pie. Both were delicious. A large bench on the side wall and a few tables on the opposite side, gives options for seating.

A sweet neighborhood shop with the cutest vibes inside! Winter specialty drink I had was pretty expensive at nearly $10 (hence why 4 stars instead of 5) but was super delicious

I love this place, and it's one of my favorites to stop by on a the way home from work for a little treat (namely their rainbow sprinkled cookie, lol). Their quiche is also great, and I've enjoyed their pies and other baked goods when I've ordered them for holidays and events. The ambiance is very nice, and their wine selection is phenomenal. I also like that they do wine tastings sometimes. Awesome spot!

Was in the area last week and needed 2 pecan pies to take home to Michiana, MI for a Gumbo party dessert. Yelped "Bakeries" and found Spilt Milk on South Blvd, took a ride and was delightfully surprised! Scratched the pecans for an amazing heirloom apple-pear-cranberry crumble pie and a best-ever heirloom apple pie, (witha slice of pecan and peanut butter cookie on the side). The quality of these pies was so over the top, there were only scraps left over. The 2 young ladies helping me were fun and added to the experience. Way to go Spilt Milk! 6 out of 5 Stars!!

This is such a pastry shop, I wanted to buy things I did not need. It is nice to see everyone working while waiting on our goodies to be ready to go. Be prepared to be strong down some gorgeous looking pies, cookies, breads and more. Truly delicious food, nice quality and packaged perfectly for travel.

Spilt Milk has one of the best Key Lime Pie in the area! You ever get that feeling walking into a restaurant or store that you're not welcomed? I always get a ridiculously loud, semi rude associate at Spilt Milk that makes it obvious that they would rather walk over broken glass than help me with my To-Go orders. I continued to patronize them because the location is so close and the desserts are kinda awesome. But Today was the last. They had the audacity to give me rotten fruit on 10 stems of wilted arugula. $13 of fruit from the garbage - Heirloom Tomato, Stone Fruit, & Burrata Salad. If that wasn't enough, they sold the (2) pasta salads I PAID for and had to refund me. Now I know why the guy helping me was so nice because he quickly packed my bag with bullshit as the manager was on her phone and never apologized - b*tvh! She always has a pissy demeanor. Avoid the tall guy as well who last week gave me the evil eye because I refused to take the bag with visible grease spots and put it on my car seats - what a Tool!

This place used to be the best bakery in Oak Park. That is no longer the case. During the pandemic, they were selling $50 chicken pot pies. They are overpriced and not as good as, say, Broken Tart.

So happy to see this place up and running again! One of my girlfriends favorite coffee shops in Oak Park and had been dying to go back. It's always nice supporting a local/small business so we've had good experiences at this location & their prior location a few feet away (haha). I like the inside of the shop, has so many things you can buy and possible gifts for Xmas. Little stocking stuffer kind of gifts. This day we had two cookie and two drinks. One coffee and the other hot chocolate. The cookies were to die for... so tasty & soft and those cookies are the main reason I'll be back. As for the hot chocolate, let's just say I would not order that again. It was not super terrible but it just taste like watered down chocolate oat milk. Coffee was good to. Keep in mind, there is no place to sit in this location (unless we missed something), so it's an in and out kind of coffee shop! Still good times though. Personal Review: 6.1/10

At one time, this was the best bakery in Oak Park. As of early 2024, this is no longer the case. Their food is pretty good overall. Ordering in there is unfortunately a little complicated, as the staff are sometimes a bit clueless and there's a lot of stuff around they have to find and ring you up for while you stand there between a counter and a big kitchen space behind you, so we can feel cluttered and odd as you order and then stand off to the side, waiting in this big open space and other people can come in and don't realize that it's their time to order. The point is, you can get a little confusing. Good bakery, a little on the price of your side for what it is.

We stopped in here to pick up some baked goods for breakfast this morning. What a great little shop! The scones were delicious. All the flavors we tried were delicious but the brown sugar scones were everyone's favorite. All the pies in the display case looked great, and I'm excited that they sell by the slice. We'll definitely be back to try them next time we're in town!

I second others who say Spilt Milk has gone downhill. Whereas I used to recommend it, I now say skip it. I used to come periodically. It was never *amazing* but it was pretty good and it's not far from me, and who doesn't enjoy pastry and coffee. My recent visit is my last, for a simple reason. The quality was and remains simply average. What's changed is the competition. A few years ago, they could get away with charging high prices for average-quality baked goods because there wasn't much going on in that segment in Oak Park. Now, with Publican and Broken Tart (plus the bakeries downtown and Happy Apple), it just does not make sense to come here for a pastry, a whole pie, a coffee (they were never tops in coffee), or anything else. In addition, the wait after you order is bizarrely long for anything that is not ready to eat from the case. This is truly mystifying as they are not short-staffed. I'll add one more thing from a local perspective. People in Oak Park like cute pastry shops that serve as gathering places and support various social causes. This has meant that pastry shops that don't really serve great pastry have been able to do well financially. The causes are a nice add-on (some would say clever marketing), and, unsurprisingly, the ones they choose are typically non-controversial among Oak Parkers, like pride month (all the bakeries) or fighting breast cancer (Courageous). Last time I walked by, Spilt Milk had several posters promoting a demonstration with fringe slogans calling for violent uprising in Gaza. That's an interesting choice for a place that serves tea cake and cappuccinos. Spilt Milk is not making a serious effort to produce top quality products, provide reasonable service, or bring the community together. Search the various local Facebook groups; no one is recommending it anymore. ETA: I have had slices from two different whole pies from here. They were very average (not worth the calories, imo) and the pies cost over $40 each.

Oak Park's bakery and pastry shop. Owned by two sisters. I stopped in one day to see what kind of baked goodies were on display. There were pies, scones, cookies and many other baked goods. The shop has a nice old fashioned and trendy look. I quite didn't like the stale smell inside. Strange that the air wasn't filled with sweet flavors. The prices were a bit expensive. Some of the pies looked dry. I just ordered a small lavender latte. It wasn't busy maybe one person ahead of me. But it took 15 to 20 minutes for me to get my latte. Glad I was able to support a local neighborhood family- owned business. But I won't be returning back

We got a wide variety of goodies to eat on their back patio; sprinkle cookie, veggie quiche, buttermilk biscuit, and ginger lemon scone. Every single thing was buttery and moist and truly exceeded our expectations. Patio had great seating for the little too!

Sign and website say they close at 3. Showed up at 2:30 to locked doors. Annoying when headed to a party on a tight schedule.

Spilt Milk saves the day, again! We had company in town this weekend, so what else should you do but pick-up a quiche from Spilt Milk? We always go with the meat quiche, because why not? It's delicious & filling, & the crust is perfection. The ingredients are so fresh, too. We knew that wouldn't be enough, so we also grabbed the Chai-spiced coffee cake. That was our first time buying it, but it definitely will not be our last! It was a HUGE hit with the fam! Just don't tell them we picked up two of our favorite, yummy breakfast sandwiches, a latte, & a Chai to eat their before we came home :-)

While I enjoy all of the items I have tasted from Spilt I would not get the tart cherry turnover. I found several cherry pits and nearly broke my tooth because I was not expecting it. Overall, this place is a little expensive (especially since they're cutting corners and not properly putting the cherries) but good food. Just had a bad experience and that's why I gave 2 stars.

As my 5 year old just said after sampling an array of cookies, "best in the world." YUM.

My new happy place. It's so hard to find a place that is baby-friendly!! I can't get enough of it. Their drinks and pastries are just out of this world. The service is the nicest I had had like ever! Gonna be coming back every other day, for sure!

I come here for the Key Lime pie! Hands-down best I've had here in Chicago. A great pastry shop with many different items. Currently order via toast app and pick up at door. They had hand pies and enjoyed their sweet potato one for lunch on a recent visit.

Update: recent visits have been so much better for us. We really do love their cookies and pies. Our favorite is the key lime, although one time we took some individual slices home and got a really deformed and small slice. However it was delicious and we've found the cookies cooked perfectly and not overdone - just a delicious classic chocolate chip cookie. It's a really delicious and charming bakery!

I'm always looking for new dessert places in OP, especially ones that are near me because who wouldn't want to be lazy and eat their cake too? I dragged myself out of my air-conditioned apartment on a particularly hot and humid day just to get me some pie--and I'd do it again. In fact, I wish I'd checked this place out sooner because their pies are absolutely delightful! That's right, I said "pies", plural. I wasn't going to walk 10 min to get a single slice of pie when I could get more, guys. Thoughts: It's a tiny little shop so keep your eyes peeled or you just might walk past it! But don't let the size of this little gem fool you because there's a slew of yummy-looking things inside. How do you choose? Well, you don't, silly! I had the salted honey, chocolate cream, and some coffee to go, but definitely wished I'd also gotten the peanut butter chess and the key lime! The salted honey was a little too sweet for my taste but it was exactly the sugary pick-me-up I needed after walking around in the 93-degree weather. The chocolate cream filling was smooth and rich with a buttery flaky crust that made me wish I'd gotten the whole pie. I just didn't want to look like that sad person getting a whole pie to eat on his/her own. Well, that sad person is a genius because that's EXACTLY what I wanted to do after eating my pies. Oh, there will definitely be a next time, Spilt Milk.

Having ordered a pie from them for Thanksgiving (over a month ago) they call me today at 2:45pm to let me know that I have a pie that is ready and needs to be picked up by 3pm and that they don't hold any pies over night. Seriously?!?! Had they even call me yesterday to let me know that I could pick up my pie today before 3pm would have been acceptable but calling me today at 2:45pm when they close at 3pm is not. Also, they won't hold it for tomorrow..what will they do with my pie? Resell it or dump it? Well they can take my pie up their you know where! I will never order from them again. Will take my business elsewhere and advice you do, too.

The servers are top notch here!! Amazing spot for a cocktail! My husband and I often land here as our last spot before home.

I've been back maybe 3 times since stumbling upon this place about a month ago on my way home from the library. My boyfriend and I are big fans of the Mexican chocolate cookie - pairs really nicely with milk. The one time they ran out, I tried the chocolate chess pie. It's very chocolatey and light, definitely a stand out imo. This brown butter cookie also tastes good. Their cookies are pretty big, so I don't mind paying $4 for one. The caramel thumbprint is okay. It's not overly sweet like I was expecting. Feels like a dessert older people would enjoy. Overall, the people are incredibly nice and it's a cool little place. I like how the kitchen part is open, kinda reassuring that I'm eating actual baked goods and not some mass-produced, factory garbage.

Three words. Mexican chocolate cookie. That's it. That's all I have to say. I've never had a cookie so delicious. I'm so sad that I didn't get more. I'm actually contemplating driving back up to get some. They are that good.

Very nice large shop space in the front and very nice large bakery space in the back. Looks like many things to buy from books to alcoholic beverages. I guess they were trying to be a gift shop on top of a bakery? Reminds me of Cracker Barrel's front end store. Everything everywhere. However, they do not accept cash, which is a star off for me. 1 fruit pie, regular size pie $38.88. 1 hand sized meat or vegetarian pie $6. 1 regular sized cookie $4. Very over priced, I think they thought all Oak Parkians were filthy rich with money to burn but not everyone that lives here can blow $38.88 on a pie. My parents go to a baker in Michigan who is Amish and she makes everything by hand the Amish way and she only charges $8 for a pie that's the same size. Edit: Went for a second visit. Taking off another star for yuck coffee and yuck customer service. Paid for a large iced mocha, 1 meat pie and 1 veg/cheese pie: Total $20.00 1. Tell your customers that your iced coffee is once size only or put it on the the coffee menu that is on a small piece of paper next to the register so that your customers can make an informed purchase. 2.When I buy a mocha coffee, I do not expect weird "chocolate fudge ganache", I expect chocolate syrup. It's weird, it's chunky and I don't want to chew my coffee. Also don't get sarcastic with customers, especially new customers who've only been there twice. Literally the lady told me "This isn't Starbucks". Wow really? I had no idea! Lady, learn to deal with annoyed or upset customers better. No, I don't want a refund, I want you to listen to constructive criticism and make your business better. How do I know what the heck you put in your coffee? Your coffee "menu" is a small piece of paper in a plastic holder by the register. It's not on the wall and it's not in large letters and it certainly does not say what you put in your coffee, because if you did, I wouldn't have wasted my time and money on "bleh" coffee. Yes, I will pay Starbucks $7 for a LARGE iced mocha with chocolate syrup because IT TASTES GOOD. 3. Please stick to one thing: Bakery. Don't sell overpriced average tasting coffee to your customers. It literally tasted like coffee I would get at a diner. 4. Please offer all of your customers a receipt. 5. Please label your items when they go in the bag, I have one spinach and one chicken hand pie and literally had to cut it open to see which one was which. I was eating the meat hand pie and literally pulled out a long "light colored" hair from the middle of the pie- I got a refund but the lady on the phone was like "no one here has light hair". Are you sure about that? I will not be returning here. Ever. I feel like this is Oak Park: "High class prices for low class food." You charge too much money for food that tastes like it came out of Denny's.

We popped into Spilt Milk a few months back to try their pies in anticipation of ordering some for our wedding. We ventured in late on a Sunday, so the choices were slim, but we enjoyed a cookie and a slice of chocolate chess. When it came time to order for our wedding, I emailed them and didn't hear back. It was still early, so I wasn't too worried about it and tried again about a month out. This time I heard back right away and placed an order for a strawberry rhubarb and a key lime pie for our small wedding. We served cake and pie at the wedding; I like pie, but much prefer cake. While our guests seemed to enjoy the cake, the pie went in a flash. So fast, I had to move to save a slice for my husband (which his dad promptly stole). My cousin said the strawberry rhubarb reminded her of our grandma's and we heard a lot of fanfare for the key lime. If I could've done one thing differently one our wedding day, it would've been to order at least one more pie. I think this will become our go to for future pie needs; not the closest to home, but close enough to make the trip worth it.

I accidentally put my order through without tipping, so I'm going to write this review and tip double next time to make up for my lapse! I visited Spilt Milk for the first time about 2 years ago, and it didn't leave enough of an impression on me to ever feel the need to return. But on my way back from the farmer's market today, I was hot and in need of some breakfast. I knew that they have an active online ordering and pick up options available outside of their storefront due to Covid-19, so I decided to give them another shot. I'm very happy that I did! At 9:30am they were sold out of a considerable amount of their baked inventory, perhaps due to the holiday weekend(or maybe they're just that good?) I opted for a vegetable hand pie filled with sweet potato, feta, and caramelized onions for $5, and an iced masala chai w/ oat milk for $6.25(the oat milk sub costs a pretty penny, but my lactose intolerance justifies the cost). My order was ready to pick up in about ten minutes even though everyone looked like they were working extremely hard in the store! Pickup bags lined the counter top inside. Someone comes out to get your name and then leaves your order on the little table outside the front door when it's ready. It was very quick and efficient, and it seems like they've adjusted to the new limitations quite nicely. I know how difficult it can be for businesses to acclimate right now so it's refreshing to see a change done well. In regards to my purchase, the pastry shell was flavorful and flakey. It wasn't dry or tough, and it tasted very fresh. The filling was good, though I couldn't detect much feta or caramelized onion flavor in the sweet potato. I was also pleasantly surprised at the iced masala chai. It is so hard to find a decent chai in Oak Park and I may have found my new spot when I'm on the go and cant make it at home. It was mildy spicy; not overly sweet or milky. My first experience at Spilt Milk wasn't enough to bring me back, but this one definitely gives me a reason to sample more of what they have to offer, if I can get there before it's gone!

First time visiting this afternoon. I really enjoyed the vegetarian cheese & broccoli quiche that came with a small kale side salad. Awesome crust. Not a bad deal for $6. I was surprised the drink options were quite limited. Coffee, tea, bottle water and tap water. I'm not a coffee or tea drinker. It would have been nice to have a juice or soda option. The only other concern is this shop doesn't accept cash. I've actually never been to a shop that doesn't accept cash! I didn't see it advertised either. I was lucky I had a debit card on me but I don't always carry one. I would have been very embarrassed as I'd already ordered when the lady at the counter told me. What about folks who don't have credit or debit cards? Or teens walking home from school? I wish they would reconsider that policy.

Wonderful selection of baked goods. Loved the brown sugar maple scone. The cookies are too good to be true.

Went here on a mission to get some tea for a tea lover and thought I'd check out their offerings. Nice variety of desserts, though the prices struck me as being a tad high, hence some of the rationale for a four star rating. I ended up with three desserts - two cookies and banana bread - total for those was ten bucks pre-tax. Of the three, the banana bread was the most economical - and in my opinion the best of the bunch. Cookies were good, but I can find better for less. I'll likely be back for the banana bread and the much mentioned Key Lime Pie, which seems to be a favorite of other reviewers.

Now open at their new location (811 South Blvd) just around the corner from their old shop! Currently just doing takeout due to covid via online and phone orders. Their key lime & chocolate cream pies and biscuits are delicious! Order early: they sell out quick!

I had a slice of the Key Lime Pie and I was very disappointed. It was not fresh--it had a freezer taste! I was shocked as it seemed like a legit bakery and it looked very appealing. It's also very pricey. Maybe the warm pies are much better, but I'm nervous to try them.

My friend and I stopped in for a quick coffee and snack on a Saturday morning. The food is very over priced for the quality/taste. Also, my friend and I respect any establishments right to enforce the mask mandate and have the freedom to run their business how they please. My friend's mask slipped down for one second, which happened to be when our food was being brought to us and the girl holding the food took a very loud, rude tone with us. She shouted, "Sir, please put your mask on!" It startled us and we felt completely ridiculed seeing that we were respecting their rules. It's funny how in a place where you can slip down your mask to take a sip of coffee, a simple accident can make you feel like you're anti-American. I will not be going back to this establishment.

Pastry is delicious. Customer service? If there's a problem, ABOMINABLE. Get this: April, a friend sends me a gift certificate. Go to use it online, it fails. I call, explain, give the code, etc. Them: "It SHOULD work...hmmm, no it doesn't...hmm. Let us look into it. (I Decide to pay for pastry cash. I'll fix it later...) Later, they leave phone message: "Oh yeah, vendor problem, just bring us your code and we'll clear it up." Me: " Again?" so I print it and write my name, phone number, etc. Drop it off to them. I call them back to hopefully finish this mess... Them: "I'm sorry, what is this about?" (That's right: start over.) I explain, remind them of the paper I sent with details. Them: "just come by and we'll issue you a new card." I stop by to check again. Different person (maybe the owner?). She comes to the door and I explain everything AGAIN. She takes 5 minutes to tell me that 100 customers have been affected by their gift certificate snafu, and it's been hard to sort out. Gee, so it seems. Tired yet? Well, she needS that code in order to do anything. The code I gave on the phone and in writing. Really? Again? I didn't have the info on me, so I leave, annoyed. Between each of these beatings there are gaps of many days. (I promise, we're getting there.) so yesterday, I stop by again. Last shot. Knock knock. Manager: what is the problem with the gift card? Me: it doesn't work. This is my 5th attempt and I'm pissed. Manager: "You'll have to talk to the owner." Again, I leave them all the info in writing: code, name, phone number. Is this a skit? I get home and get this email from an owner, Meg. NOW BEAR IN MIND THAT 30 MINUTES PRIOR I DROPPED MY INFO OFF IN WRITING FOR THE SECOND TIME. This quote is cut and pasted from the owner's email to me: "...I am happy to help you, I just need to know what's going on so I can troubleshoot the problem..." This is followed quickly by a text from Spilt Milk to me saying they got my message and can fix that right away. Good! This is followed immediately by another text: "I was confusing you with another customer. Please explain the problem..." So I send her the info by text AGAIN (3) and call her back. Owner: "What is the problem with your gift card?" She acts like she has no idea what I'm talking about. WHAT IS GOING ON?! Then she complains I'm raising my voice. She tells me "it's just $30. You're screaming at me about $30." She's surprised that I'm frustrated. MY FRIEND SENT ME A GIFT THROUGH YOU AND I CAN'T COLLECT AFTER TRYING 5 TIMES! YOU DON'T ThINK THAT'S AGGRAVATING? YOU THINK YOU'RE TREATING ME RIGHT? Please tell me how I can be a better customer! "What would you like me to do?" she asks. Huh? Me: "What do YOU think?" So now she's huffy. Here's her final solution: she's going to refund the $30 to my friend that gifted me in April! That's right: my friend, the one who I never told that her gift turned into a sh*tshow, is going to get a credit... So my friend made a nice gesture for my birthday, and Spilt Milk gifted me six big doses of aggravation and topped it off by notifying my dear friend that instead of giving her friend a treat, her friend has been jacked around for 4 months by incompetent management. Did they ever once apologize? No. Did they ever issue the corrected gift card? No. Did they offer me a cookie crumb? No. Not once through this whole affair has anyone said they're sorry. Now the owner feels I've been unreasonable. Will my friend ever get a refund? Who knows? Will she have to call and text and visit 5 times? The pastry is amazing, but this little spot is ruined for me. Shame on you, Spilt Milk, for your incompetence and worse, your attitude. You made the problem, you never fixed it, and rather than apologize you choose to accuse me of being unreasonable. You're the ones who spilt the milk, and I guess you can't clean it up.

Pretty much everything I've had here has been top notch. The Key Lime Pie is possibly my favorite menu item, though it has stiff competition from the Chocolate Cream Pie. The thing is, I'm not generally a fan of Chocolate Cream Pie. I find it it usually too one dimensional. That is certainly not the case here. The Chocolate Cream Pie is richly flavored and layered in texture. The dark chocolate graham crust is a perfect complement to the whipped and chocolate cream. Each time I swallow a forkful of this pie, it's hard not to feel a sense of fresh delight. When it comes to the Key Lime Pie, wow, this is seriously divine. What a masterpiece of tartness juxtaposed to creaminess. It is impossible for me to get tired of this pie, it can be a tonic to make you forget every sort of trouble. Credit card debt, divorce, a burning building next door? Fuggedabout it and sink your teeth into this! Other menu items I've had here and which I've enjoyed: the Banana Cream Pie (not at the same level of the pies described above, and not the best I've had by any means, but certainly delicious); the Heirloom Apple Pie (a total yum experience, the apples are so soft and the crust is so crispy and caramelized); and the Cinnamon Rolls (soft, chewy, not sweet but very tasty). All in all, I'm so glad Spilt Milk has landed in our little village. I'm still eager to try certain things, like the bagels, but they are always sold out when I arrive. I guess I have to get there at 7AM?

OBSESSED!!!! With spilt milk ! I recently moved near here and had heard great things about it , so I popped in one day to pick up some cookies on the way to a play date . I stole a bite from my 3 year old and we then fought over the rest of the cookie ! After this I naturally had to go back a try the pies and savory quiche . And it didn't disappoint! We went on a wet windy fall morning , what a lovely treat . My husband tried the hand potato hand pie and I had the quiche and we shared the key lime pie for desert . Everything was phenomenal! The service was awesome and the cute quaint atmosphere was perfect !! I'm going to put my holiday pie order in this week ! Also being European I'm pretty fussy when it comes to sweet things and this really hit the spot !!
