Splurge is a little gem of a bakery in Millburn, New Jersey. In my experienced opinion as a serious lover of baked goods, Splurge is so much better than Magnolia in NYC (overrated) and Crumbs (dry cupcakes). Not your standard, run-of-the mill bakery with dry cupcakes, fake shortening-laden frosting and tasteless cookies. Splurge has gourmet cupcakes and cakes, REAL frosting, delicious little treats. My husband works in the area and frequently stops in after work to buy treats to bring home. The cupcakes are amazing - moist, full of flavor and highly addictive. Our favorites are: Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting, "Hostess" style cupcakes, Banana, Peanut Butter Cup, and Oreo. We also order our birthday cakes from Splurge - the Red Velvet is moist, dense, and flavorful - the owner uses real beet juice in the recipe to cut down on the amount of food coloring needed. We also just had the Chocolate Raspberry Cake, which was delicious - chocolate cake, chocolate frosting & a yummy raspberry buttercream filling. Our favorite is the peanut butter cake. Ive been known to eat most of that cake myself, taking nibbles all day each time I pass through the kitchen. Our kids love the Chocolate Bombe dessert - a mound of chocolate-glazed marshmallow fluff on top of a graham cracker cake base. Their tiramisu is excellent. Their banana pudding is to-die-for! My son and I are seriously disappointed when my husband comes home from Splurge without any banana pudding. My daughter loves their peanut butter mousse served up in little chocolate cups. Honestly, the only things we dont care for are the mini cheesecakes (too dense). Its a great place to have birthday parties. Cheerfully decorated, with great staff to assist the kids in making their pizzas and dessert. People with allergies, please note that this bakery uses wheat, dairy, nuts, eggs in its products - its a BAKERY, and its not specifically set up to be allergen-free. Please, give Splurge a try. We really dont understand the negative reviews - weve had nothing but excellent service from the owners.

This weekend my daughter had her 5th birthday party at Splurge Bakery and it was a complete and total success. Based on the feedback I received from guests this was one of the most entertaining, thought out and enjoyable parties of the year. My daughter already asked if we can book her next party there and my youngest daughter (three years old) wants her next party there as well. Our party consisted of the kids making their own pizza (and eating it of course) and making and decorating their own cookie (to take with them) and included a delicious chocolate cake. With a total of five employees plus the owner assisting during the party the kids has plenty of help prepping, cooking, cleaning, washing and then eating. Even better the parents didn’t (couldn’t) enter the cooking area, giving everyone a chance to take a break and simply watch their kids have a blast through the giant glass window. The bakery is clean, the food is delicious, the staff is helpful and the owner is delightful. I would also like to add that in addition to a great party place they are also a full service bakery – the treats are fantastic, even the coffee is superb, and the prices are all reasonable. I highly recommend you try this place for yourself; either for a party, a snack, or a treat on the go.

My daughter, who has food allergies, was invited to a birthday party at this establishment. I called the owner to ask a few simple questions regarding food cross contamination to see if my daughter would be able to attend. Not only were my simple questions met with rudeness and condescension,and no accommodations offered, but the owners final advice was if your child has allergies, she should not be in her store. She also then took it upon herself to immediately call the host of the party and told her to remove my daughter from the guest list. The only solace I take is no child of mine will ever taste food prepared my the hands of a human being as deplorable as this owner. Her annoyance and disdain on a topic so serious, yet relatively common place, as childrens safety due to simple food allergies is shocking. There are a multitude of bakeries in the area who accommodate children with allergies, and shockingly, are owned by people who can have a civil conversation with another human being. Please award them with your patronage as I will.

I find TKAs review to be extremely hateful, and unnecessary. We had our daughters birthday party there a month ago, and had an incredibly pleasant experience. There was also a child attending that had a severe peanut allergy, and Julie, the owner went over the risks involved in having the child attend. I was very happy with her handling of the situation. If it were my child, I would want a restaurant and/or bakery owner to be candid with me about the risks and not try to sugar coat something so serious. Splurge is a great place for children and adults of all ages, and I will continue to tell everyone I know to stop by and see for themselves.

This place used to be expensive and very good but just expensive now. We ordered a cheesecake last month and it was a lot of crust!! even the cheesecake had some orange flavor that we didnt request and when we tried to talk to them they didnt bother calling back. Not great customer service. The apple pie we ordered few months ago was below average as well and for the money you pay at this bakery, it is just not worth it. We are taking our business elsewhere going forward.

Fantastic birthday party location! My daughter had her birthday party at Splurge this weekend and everyone had a great time. The very energetic staff helped the kids make pizza and decorate their own layer cake. All I had to do was call them up and reserve a date and time for the party and Splurge took care of the rest. My daughter is already talking about having her party there again next year. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Splurge Bakery.

Splurge Bakery is the Best. Everyone is very helpful and friendly and the cupcakes and cookies are wonderful. I have ordered things many times and it is always delivered fresh and in a very timely fashion. The owner is very pleasant and could not be more cooperative in meeting my needs & she keeps a very clean establishment, which is extremely important in any venue that serves food to the public. Keep up the Great work!

I absolutely love Splurge Bakery! I have never seen a bakery that makes such great products that also has a glass wall so you can watch everything being made. My favorite cupcakes are their Oreo and Red Velvet, although I really love them all. Their staff is super helpful and friendly. Splurge has awesome cakes and brownies, too. Their products are reasonably priced and worth every penny.

At the eleventh hour, I needed 5 dozen individually wrapped photo cookies for a graduation party. Julie was helpful and patient, sorting through images online to find the highest quality art for the cookies. They were shipped overnight and arrived in perfect condition. The wrapping and bows were of the highest quality and the cookies were delicious!

I highly recommend Splurge Bakery. The baked goods are freshly baked and delicious. Julie, the owner, is super accommodating. I placed an order in the morning, she then baked my items AND delivered them for me that afternoon. It is so refreshing to get such a good product, with friendly, efficient and professional service!
