Blackmarket Bakery and Capital Noodle Bar

Fooding

Costa Mesa

Blackmarket Bakery and Coffee Shop.

Very hipster.

No ice cream?? :(

Fancy fruit and peanut butter sandwich.

Two kinds of beef noodle plus some green beans, 'cause you gotta have veggies.

t'was better with hot sauce and a few bean sprouts.

Still a few customers even at 9:30pm at night.

Blackmarket Bakery is a hipster coffee and pastry place with a fancy PB&J that's quite decent. A bit bread heavy but that's not too surprising. The glass walls and random table layout unfortunately mean it's not a good place to work, but it's not a bad place for a drink.

Capital Noodle Bar for dinner was disappointing. The Capital Restaurants do mostly solid to very good Chinese food, often in areas that are a bit lacking in quality Chinese food... but Noodle Bar felt generic enough to miss the mark. Much better to go a few miles east and north to J.Zhou...
