Blackmarket Bakery’s new Santa Ana location opens this Saturday, January 9th!
Days later, I am still enjoying Blackmarket’s Shortbread Assortment. I plan to go back and get more for Lunar New Year gift baskets, and I look forward to trying their sandwiches and other pastries. Chef Rachel told me that they don’t throw out their cookies at the end of the day, they soak them and make Cookie Monster Bread Pudding! If you’ve never been to Downtown Santa Ana, it’s a trendy area with several parking structures and metered parking. For more information, please visit their website.

Furthering her goal of empowering the community with quality, whole ingredients and tried techniques presented in an artful context, in 2012, the Blackmarket Bakery brand expanded to its second retail location at The CAMP in Costa Mesa.
