Black Star Pastry Closing Down

Recent politics and other complaints aside, my tastebuds are pretty devastated to hear that Black Star Pastry (Strawberry & Watermelon Cake) are closing all of its Melbourne stores.

They’ve cited “tough economic climate and staffing shortages” as the reason for the closure, instead they’ll be focussing on their 6 stores in Sydney.

IMO it sounds like a bit of BS, they’d rather exit the state completely rather than consolidate their 3 Melbourne stores back into a single venue.

Yeah this is a bit of a rant, I’ve loved these guys since their pop-up at the 2018 Night Noodle Markets.

The last day is Aug 18th if you want to get one last fix.
