Why We Like Black Market Bakery In San Diego
Everything at Black Market Bakery is baked fresh every day, with no artificial ingredients, so the place is always busy with staff baking and icing cakes or laying out various pastries. It is hard to pass through Black Market without ordering at least one unplanned pastry – like their dripping pecan sticky bun or their ridiculously perfect looking tarts.
For breakfast and lunch, the sandwiches at are legit. Our favorite is the spicy Yo Soy Rizo, a breakfast sandwich with egg, avocado, and a homemade spicy soy chorizo. The Hot Potato is also a go to – with a large hash brown patty stuffed into a breakfast sandwich. And then also of course don’t forget a sticky bun.
They serve good coffee from local roasters and as mentioned have a few beer, cider and wine options. There are also little items for sale, like a curated gift shop, such as chocolate, post cards, and cookies. Also, if you go within one hour of closing they will give you all sorts of pastries for half off.
The Black Market location in North Park is the one we go to, near the corner of Adams Ave and 30th Street (just behind Polite Provisions), but there is another location in Oceanside. The inside of the North Park location is cozy, with wooden walls and benches scattered about, with plenty of places to sit and read or chat. The best part their large back patio where you can sit in the sun or shade depending on the weather. The area has plenty of tables, a central fire place, a large chess set, a little green lawn, and a small kids play area.
Black Market is a locally owned and operated restaurant so it’s always nice to support our fellow San Diegans. And remember. The sticky bun.
