“A fun and delicious bakery with a large variety of pastries, tamales and other go-to food supplies.

This is a great shop to pick up the necessities and a sweet treat while you're at it! On Sundays, there is a farmers market in the parking lot, so you can grab something to snack on while you roam the market or get your groceries and then finish up with a pastry. The prices are great too!“

Black China Bakery Bakery • $$
216 Fern St b, Santa Cruz

“As a vegan, finding a truly delicious birthday cake is tough to find. But Black China Bakery outdid themselves! My husband ordered the vegan raspberry chocolate cake for my 64th and it's the best I've had in a long time. Kaitlin outdid herself with the decorating as well. As a long time vegan cook and baker, I'm not sure how she manages such a delicious frosting, but it was divine. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Black China Bakery. They were kind, accommodating to my husband's requests and all around a business that deserves our support.“
