Irvine, CA's Blackmarket Bakery Expanding To Costa Mesa

Blackmarket Bakery, a pastry shop with a cult-like following in Irvine, is relocating its core business to The Camp in Costa Mesa.

Owner-pastry chef Rachel Klemek — whose fresh-baked goods include brownies made from wine flour — plans to expand her scratch-made line of pastries to include retro breads and rolls.

She calls it “retro-tisnal” — a play off the often-over used word “artisanal.”

“This means the food will not be about pretense or gimmicks, but it will be real stuff, scratch made with high-quality ingredients,” said Klemek, who stopped making decorative cakes more than a year ago.
