Blackmarket Bakery North Park

I really love this cafe. It’s an older, cozy, spacious place which feels very much a part of the neighborhood. There is a customer parking lot which is great because street parking is hard-ish to find and most of it is paid now. I came on a Tuesday morning so the baked good offerings were light, but I got a delicious Banana Flax muffin and a latte (also great!). The back patio is so big!! Lots of seating. I love it! I’ve met friends here many times. I really like this cafe. Highly recommend! 👍

We visited early in the morning, and the service and ambiance were great! What I love the most is that you can see the bakers working on their stations right in front of you. The bakery is really delicious, and they have a patio where dogs are also welcome. Highly recommended

Stopped by for a loaf of bread. Limited selection, but satisfied my needs. Limited pastry selection with nothing appealing. Service very good. As expected, parking was awful. Ten minutes circling block. There is a nearby pay lot, but adding & $4-5 to the cost of a loaf of bread was a non starter

Blackmarket has been on my list for a long time due to its popularity. The place is definitely eclectic with its outlandish style and sense of humor in terms of atmosphere / indoor setting. The layout inside is a bit chaotic with seating arranged around displays of merchandise like a marketplace for cute gifts and treats. There are plenty of outlets. Large outdoor patio area as well. Coffee is average and food is standard-to-good, a bit on pricier side. I would go here more for the theme and as an outing with friends or family because it is fun and cute!

The food was good. Drinks were fragrant and delicious. Staff were extremely friendly. Love the outdoor dog friendly patio.

I’m really sad to write this because I’ve been a regular for a long time. I’ve always loved their food and atmosphere—it’s been my go-to spot for working remotely, and I’ve recommended it to so many people. But unfortunately, I have to share my recent experience. After eating one of their sandwiches, I got really sick. I was tested and confirmed to have a stomach flu caused by a virus, and I had severe diarrhea and vomiting for days. I don’t know exactly what happened, but this was the only meal I ate before getting sick. I truly hope this was a one-time incident, but I feel like I have to let people know. I’ve always trusted this place, and it’s heartbreaking to have this happen. I don’t want to leave a negative review, but food safety is serious, and I hope they take a look into this.

Oh my gosh this place is such a gem. I stopped in with my two kids and hubby and ordered about six different pastries, a mini cake and a beer. The atmosphere is absolutely adorable. The outside patio is absolutely gorgeous with a little hidden areas that you can sit in if you want a quiet Place. I really love the pop tarts and I also had a rocky road cookie that was to die for! I loved my peach cider as well. The guy who served me was so polite and helpful, He was really nice and answered my family of four courteously and was super helpful. Will for sure be back!

Awesome coffee shop with so many choices of baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, drinks, and more! Highly recommend getting any or all of their cookies. They are freshly baked and soft and everything you could want. The Fresh Prince breakfast sandwich was ok. I would try a different one next time. They also have homemade syrups. The iced vanilla oat milk latte hit the spot. A lovely outdoor sitting area with a decent amount of tables inside and outside. Very friendly staff!
