Truffles & More bakery to close Ballard shop permanently

After four years in Ballard, Truffles & More (5510 22nd Ave NW) is closing its doors.

Owner Kyma Czark announced that she’s closing due to a family illness. “I have decided it is more important to be available for my loved one than to run my shop,” Czark said in a social media post and a note to My Ballard.

Czark started Truffles & More as a bakery pop-up in 2015. In 2021, she had a space at Ballard Blossom. A year later, she opened her brick-and-mortar in the former Johnny’s Ballard Shoe Service shop in June 2022.

“When I started, I had no idea how it would go,” Czark said. “The growth, experience, and all my wonderful customers were more than I could have hoped for.”

Truffles & More’s last day open will be March 23.

“Thank you to the neighborhood, business community, and most importantly, my wonderful customers. I truly appreciate all the support you gave me and my shop,” Czark said.

There’s some good news: Czark will keep on baking. She says she’ll take orders by phone (206-323-1460) or via her website.
