A corner of Crystal Lake
Handcrafted pastries, sourdough loaves, and specialty coffee — baked fresh each morning on North Williams Street.
Black Market Bakery began with a simple conviction: that the best bread requires nothing more than time, patience, and the finest ingredients. Our sourdough ferments for 48 hours. Our croissants fold through seven layers of butter. Nothing is rushed.
Located in the heart of Crystal Lake, we've become a quiet fixture on North Williams — a place where the morning rush smells like brown butter and the afternoon light catches dust on flour-dusted shelves.
