    the UNCLE TIGER (bacon, avocado, cheddar, arugula, pickled onions, and chipotle crema on toasted seeded sourdough bread)
    Scott T.

    I was jonesing for Dutch Crunch Bread, and when I did a Yelp search, this place popped up. weird that I've eaten more than a couple of times next door (Tanner's Prime Burger) and across the street (Corner Pizza) and never thought to stroll inside for a quick look around. the young lady at the register was delightful and the display cases we browsed while waiting for our sandwiches were brimming with tempting goodies. my eighteen-year-old got the UNCLE TIGER (bacon, avocado, cheddar, arugula, pickled onions, and chipotle crema on toasted seeded sourdough bread) and gave it two enthusiastic thumbs up. I had the RANCH HAND (bacon, turkey, cheddar, arugula, red onion, chipotle honey crema, and ranch dressing on toasted Dutch Crunch bread) and it also got two enthusiastic thumbs up. we shared (as much as you can share desert with a teenager armed with a spoon he can wield like a broadsword) a CREME BRULEE TART (dark chocolate ganache, vanilla custard, sponge cake, and torched sugar crust). he's been busy mastering the fine art of brûlée making and clearly expressed his opinion that theirs is pretty good but his are better. BLACKMARKET BAKERY is different sort of place. if you're expecting something old-school sandwich-wise, rethink your choice. but if you're flexible enough to enjoy something out of the ordinary, this is a ways down a road less traveled lunch experience.

    Almond croissant

    What a cute little bakery! Phenomenal almond croissant! I get a lot of almond croissants and this is one of the best. So much filling and topping with tons of flavor. Will definitely come back.

    This spot was close to HomeState and my girlfriend felt like an iced coffee to enjoy for the remainder of the drive home. I got one of their butter croissants and it was fluffy and perfect. I would love to come back and try more of their stuff and take home bread to make things with later on. I hope this place continues to thrive on.

    Black Market Bakery is finally open in South Oceanside! But this gem of a spot is more than just bakery, it's a great pastry shop that I feel many will enjoy. Located on Vista Way in South Oceanside and part of the Freeman Collective (just next to HomeState), Black Market Bakery has a parking lot in front of it. There's a little bit of patio seating available and plenty of seating inside. Because of the setup, small groups can also enjoy sitting in both settings. The decor is very modern, trendy and still simple. There was alternative rock & pop playing on their playlist and fit the mood. There restroom is small, simple & clean. They've got cookies, cakes, shortbreads, brownies, brittles, tarts, dessert bars, buns, croissants, sandwiches , a delicious breakfast burrito and even cheesecakes. They also carry vegetarian options. There's also fresh bread baked daily. I'm personally happy that Black Market Bakery is now open and I think it's a benefit to our community.

    Black Market - Oceanside, CA Perfect stop after Legoland! Great coffee, tasty food, and chill vibes. Their breakfast sandwich is on point--just what we needed before heading back to Ontario. Highly recommend for a quick, satisfying break.

    12 out of 10 - everything was perfect. I am so excited that Blackmarket Bakery is finally open in North County!! We've been long going to the Costa Mesa and North Park locations and knew this location would be amazing and it certainly didn't disappoint! We went opening day and 10/10 on ambiance and environment - it was so cute and there was ample seating indoor and outdoor. Loved all of the little details like the curved coffee bar, toaster display stands and ample seating w/ plugs. The staff were absolutely wonderful and everyone was bustling at 8:00 am with fresh bread, cookies and items already out on display with more coming out while we were in line (which was dangerous as we kept adding to our list). I got the fresh Dutch Crunch bread loaf, Berry Poppins, Brioche Cinnamon Roll, a sugar cookie, a gingerbread cookie, an oat milk latte and a 70% chocolate bar. Every item was incredible. Everything was tasty, fresh and shockingly well priced. My husband and I have already agreed to get our fresh bread here weekly because it was absolutely delicious. The Berry Poppins was like the best homemade pop tart you've ever had, the brioche cinnamon roll was so tasty and sweet but not too sweet. And the latte was perfect - not bitter or too acidic, just perfect. Also LOVE the heat sleeve on the coffee - we got a good laugh out of it. Truly 12/10

    Lemon Rosemary Loaf

    Stopped by Blackmarket Bakery and really liked the vibe. It's got an artsy, relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to hang out for a bit. We ordered the breakfast burrito, churro croissants, piña colada matcha, blackberry matcha, and a loaf of lemon rosemary bread. The burrito was the highlight for me. It was super flavorful and easily one of the best I've had in a while. The churro croissants were good but tasted more like a cinnamon pastry than a churro or a croissant. The piña colada matcha wasn't really my thing, but it was interesting and worth trying. The blackberry matcha was great and something I'd definitely order again. I haven't tried the bread yet, but it looks solid. Service was excellent. Everyone working there was friendly and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back.

    Went on a Sunday morning and service was slow for breakfast burritos but it was worth it ! Staff members were really nice. Also, the BEST cinnamon rolls I've ever had in my life ... I still dream about them. Lol

    I had to search many bakeries to find one with cinnamon rolls, so we chose black market. They didn't have them, but the awesome baker, Jericho, said he had used the same ingredients to make some monkey bread to replace it. It did not disappoint! Perfectly gooey caramel, just the right texture of dough...so delicious! The chocolate hazelnut twist was my personal favorite! The croissant dough was held the perfect crunch outside and tenderness inside which accompanied the perfect filling. I keep saying perfect because they were! So worth the drive! And the service was fast and friendly!

    REALLY cute bakery in the Freeman Collective. Lots of small cafe tables to enjoy a coffee and a pastry, and the entire bakery is really cute overall. Good luck trying to go home with just one thing!

My fiancée & I had seen Parlor Doughnuts numerous times after the Oceanside Sunset Market. & every single 1 of those times, we were already too full from grazing at all the food stands by then to give it a try. So on a Saturday afternoon, when we just happened to be nearby, we popped in for some impulse buy doughnuts. With a staggering variety of delicious looking toppings/ flavors, the possibilities looked enticingly intriguing. Staff behind the counter was friendly attentive, & helpful. Although there are some savory options available, which seemed to me like pizza toppings on doughnuts, we stuck with sweet: maple bacon & bourbon caramel. Tried & true flavor combinations, both. But the dough, whoa. For starters, the 2 doughnuts we got didn't have holes. That actually makes a difference in how the doughnut cooks. Secondly, the dough ate more like bread dough than a doughnut. Doughnuts have a hole for a reason. You see, it's physics, son. When you consider how thermodynamics affects an oblate spheroid vs. a toroidal sphere, it becomes evident that a doughnut without a hole will not cook evenly throughout inside. In fact, this was specifically proven on MasterChef Canada Season 8, Episode 8 during a doughnut pressure test. In that episode, Andres forgot to put holes in his doughnuts & they were undercooked in the center. Hey, I did start this review with admitting I'm a nerd who watches too many cooking competition shows. Uniform doneness aside, there was also the breadiness. If I'd been told these doughnuts were some kind of new take on Pan Dulce, maybe I would've liked them more. But given the expectation of a doughnut, what I tried at Parlor Doughnuts just wasn't it. The staff was great, & the toppings were fine. But with the word "dough" literally in the name of the product, to come up short there leaves something to be desired.

The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making it.
