Mariposa Baking Company

Delicious gluten free bakery, from croissants to cakes. All is GF-Vegan-LF and taste great!

Amazing gluten free bakery (with vegan options) in the Ferry Building. The line was long (Sunday around noon), but it moved fairly quickly and it was definitely worth the wait. Things we got: cinnamon roll, croissant, empanada, bear claw. All were delicious. Would return and recommend to others, especially those with dietary restrictions.

Really disappointing experience. I ordered a cake several days in advance for my friend’s birthday and asked that the write a happy birthday message on it. When I showed up to pick up the cake at the appointed time, they had not written the message on it and the cake was FROZEN. That’s not acceptable. Good to know they don’t bake their goods fresh!

This place is the best gluten free bakery in the world! Love their donuts, love their chocolate cake. Today I tried the calzone and I am now obsessed!

If you’re looking for tasty gluten-free items, this place isn’t it. I hate to give a bad review for a dedicated gluten-free bakery since I recently had to go gluten-free and it’s been hard finding options. I went twice and got the croissant, the chocolate chip cookie, and the cinnamon roll. It tastes not good. There’s no flavor to the bread and it’s disappointing. The cookie was terrible too - proper food has a way better GF cookie.

The staff are lovely though and the location is great. But if you want GF baked goods that taste good, this isn’t it.

Gluten free for the win. So magical that I can go somewhere and eat anything they have 10/10

Some of the best gluten free food I’ve had in the 5 years I’ve been gluten free! The biscuit was flaky and buttery and the cinnamon roll was to die for! My mom (who is not gluten free) said she never would have known her sandwich was gluten free! Went both mornings of our trip because it was so good!

Didn’t taste good. I have celiac & everything there was 4/10. I got cinnamon roll, croissant & cherry pie. It had too much sugar & the croissant was hard. So difficult to find gluten free food that tastes good.

My husband is gluten free and I search for options for him whenever we travel. I was beyond excited to find Mariposa and we stopped for breakfast before our Alcatraz tour. Their bakery items were delicious and wish we could have had more! I wish they would have labeled that the olive oil/bacon/cheese swirl has olives in it as I would've chosen something else but the cheddar almond scone was amazing! Wish we could've taken a bunch home.

MBC makes solid veggie sandwiches. The baked cheese needed more flavorful cheese or a filling (tomato or caramelized onions), but the veggie sandwich is excellent with a tasty cheese and fresh veggies. The baked goods look fine but pricey. Recommended.

I called to see if they had a specific item in stock and all the person would tell me was “it’s first come first served” and couldn’t verify if the SF location had the item/was currently even offering the item.

Poor customer service, don’t waste the trip.

Great food but the layout of this location is so incredibly inefficient that the line becomes untenable. It is laughable how much business this location must be losing bc it’s run so inefficiently.

So nice to see a gluten free bakery making items like croissants! I had an olive, ham and cheese roll, and the pain au chocolat. Other than the fact that they weren't warm (it was late afternoon and they'd likely sat in the case since the morning), they tasted very good. I really appreciated the pain au chocolat -- the dough had that golden, buttery baked color to it that gluten free flours have a hard time achieving. Is it as good as the gluten/wheat flour croissant? No, but when your allergies can't allow you to have that, this is a happy discovery in its place. Do they ship to Canada, by chance???
