Blackhole Bakery

Three words. Apricot Pistachio Puff. It was worth the 25 minute drive. I came for Madame Crab Rangoon, who I made the mistake of swearing my allegiance to before I met the pastry of my dreams. Sweet, blessed apricot cup, rich and deep, that I would forsake my hasty crab marriage for. Oh heavenly delicacy, why must you be across the city when my love for you is aching and painful? How I wish to fill my mouth with you each day, nay, each moment ! with your perfect pillowy velvet flowing across my tongue. Run away with me, you fragrant minx, or I shall be in utter despair! 💔💔

I have had Blackhole Bakery on my must try list for far too long. It's located nowhere near me, so the timing just hasn't been right. My husband and I made it our mission last weekend, and by the skin of our teeth, we arrived with 45 minutes to spare. Luckily, there were still some delicious delectables waiting patiently with our names on them. We tried the pistachio tea cake (my fav), chocolate babka w/ oreo topping, a blueberry croissant, sticky buns, and definitely not planned, but a delightful surprise for later, the garlic bread, in which we made some of the most incredible italian sandwiches later that night for dinner. Everything was exactly like I knew it would be, thoughtful, flavorful, and beautiful. You definitely feel the love in every bite! Great service guys! I promise not to wait so long in returning.

I visited Black Hole Bakery for the first time recently with a friend, and I will definitely be back! The atmosphere of the shop is space themed and fun and the guys behind the counter were upbeat and friendly. Now about the goods. The pastries are some of the best I’ve experienced in the KC area. Inventive, aesthetic, and phenomenal in flavor and texture. The croissants rivaled any authentic French patisserie. The blueberry croissant was *chef’s kiss.* The plum galette was beautiful, featured wonderfully ripe, in-season plums, and had a surprise layer of almond paste underneath that really enhanced the flavor of the plums. I’m not a huge frosting person, so I ordered the one without icing—the orange mochi with a sugared exterior—on a whim, and holy wow!! Between the orange flavored sugar on the outside, to the perfectly crispy donut exterior and a delightfully chewy center with what I believe were candied orange peels?? inside made for a truly surprising burst of flavors that I have dreamed about since my last visit. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this place has amazing pastries! i got the blueberry croissant and a danish. i honestly haven’t had a pastry this good since my trip to france. in fact, the blueberry croissant tastes almost exactly like a pain aux raisins (just with blueberries instead of raisins of course). whatever they’re doing, they’re doing it right! highly recommend them. super friendly staff as well!

One of my favorite bakeries in Kansas City, the treats are delicious and the people behind the counters are warm. Great selection of savory or sweet treats with a constantly rotating menu. You’ll have to come often to try many of their delicious concoctions.

Loved it! Everything, literally everything, tastes amazing. Very fresh, very flavorful. Cannot recommend ENOUGH! We particularly enjoyed the pepperoni pizza bagel - it was airy and light, and the garlic herb cream cheese paired perfectly. The caramelized onion and goat cheese puff was 🔥! You cannot pick anything wrong here.

Nice. Second day here in a row. People were even nicer. 70$ in baked goods in 2 days! Keep it up! And the lady gave me two cream cheeses for my bagels. I’ll keep coming back if it’s like that! Spending more and more for polite service!

Listen This Bakery is a must GO!!! Like now! It’s by far my favorite bakery! I don’t live close to the bakery but I make special trips! The employees treat you like Besties! (No Joke). There are great flavors! You won’t be disappointed! My only concern is that there should be more locations! Food Items ✅ Vibe✅ Price ✅

Here’s the thing: I’m considering moving to KC— but I’ll never move to a city without a bakery that can produce a good puff pastry. It’s a must have for me. Black Hole has convinced me I can rest easy. The owner spoke to me a bit about KC (lovely conversation) and recommended me one of the best filled croissants I have ever had. The berries and cream. Tart, sweet, buttery, and flaky. I’m still thinking about it and it was nearly a week ago. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

Blackhole Bakery is one of my favorite spots in KC! It’s walk-in and carryout, and everything is consistently excellent -croissants that are actually flaky, mochi donuts with the perfect chew, and flavors that are dynamic and fun. Some of the flavor combos might sound a little obscure at first, but trust them and take a walk on the wild side... let your hair down, gurl! Nothing here feels overhyped or gimmicky. Just really good pastries made by people who clearly know what they’re doing! I leave happy every time and already planning my next visit because once you’re pulled into this black hole, there’s no escaping it!
