Incredible gluten free options. I live in Hawaii and anytime I travel anywhere, Mariposa is part of my layover situation at San Francisco. If I don't have enough time to get there, I look for different flights. They also ship. read more

OBSESSED with this adorable bakery! All of the baked goods are high-quality and worth the price. For once, I did not feel like I was eating a gluten-free pastry! The service staff was friendly and well-versed in the bakeries offerings. There are many sweet options and also savory selections. The store is well laid out, clean, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The aromas from the bakery are simply intoxicating. I live on the east coast, so I was happy to see that they ship goods. I will visit again! read more

This place offers a large selection of baked goods, and not everything will be a winner, but I definitely want to come back for more. Spanakopita: 4/5. We got this warmed up and it was delicious. My wife and I quickly devoured it. Chocolate chunk cookie: 3/5. I like my chocolate cookies really chocolatey and this missed the mark. I like my own cookies more. I heard another customer inquire about their bear claws and think I want to try this next time. read more

I was recently diagnosed with Celiacs and have been itching to get to SF to try this bakery. It did not disappoint! We tried the gluten free chocolate croissant, plain croissant, bear claw, baguette, and artisan sandwich boule. The bear claw and chocolate croissant were eaten immediately right outside the ferry building, bear claw was a little too sweet for my liking, but my husband loved it. The chocolate croissant was lovely, a little dense in the middle, but buttery and flaky around the outside. Took the plain croissant home and put it in the toaster oven for a few minutes and the texture was greatly improved. Is it the same as a light and airy french cwassant with millimeters thin layers? No, but for a gluten free version it's the best I can imagine with buttery layers and a wonderfully crisp exterior. The bread has the look and feel of french bread with big airly bubbles...have no idea how they managed that! The baguette has a crusty exterior and light chewy interior, nice flavor as well, no weird gumminess. There were a ton of other sweet treats that looked amazing, but they'll have to wait 'til next time. If you are gluten free and in the San Francisco area it's worth the trip! read more

So I'm supposed to be gluten and dairy free. It's an allergy that I don't always take seriously and suffer greatly for. When I saw this bakery was all gluten free and a lot of the items were also dairy free, I just knew I had to try it. The only reason I haven't given it a 2 star rating was the fact that the veggie pocket I had was delicious. The filling was fantastic. I was surprised by the complexity and depth of flavor. The crust was damn right outstanding. I mean BETTER than non-gluten free which is saying a lot. However, the cinnamon roll was not good. Like at all. Like we didn't even eat it after taking the initial bites. Super dry, lacking flavor, overly sweet. Also, the service here was abysmal. The couple in front of us also ordered cinnamon rolls and the girl asks if they wanted it warmed up. When we order, she just throws (and that's not an exaggeration) it into a bag like she's upset. When my friend asks if it can be heated she goes "uuugggghhhhhh" and says yes. We had also ordered the veggie pocket but she forgot. We remind her and she like "let me guess you want THAT heated up as well." Why, yes. I do. Then she proceeds to be super flustered and confused, writing the ticket and handing off the items to her co-worker. Then the items are "done" and she cannot for the life of her remember who it goes to (there are only 2 sets of us waiting for food). Where's the ticket you filled out? It has my friends name on it. She actually hands the cinnamon roll to the people who were in front of us and has to take it back because they got theirs already, which is a huge restaurant no-no. They touched it. I should have returned it then. We finally get our items and they're not even hot. What a waste of time. She also gave me a nasty look when I set my items down to take a picture. Social media will probably end up fueling our economy, for better or for worse, so deal with it. read more

I was recommended this place and was truly hoping that it was amazing. The sandwich bread was good but nothing special, the cherry turnover was delicious and the croissants was a bust, way too doughy! The most exciting thing about this place was everything was gluten free and you didn't have to think twice.. I would still go there but not out of my way! read more

An actual gluten free bakery! Don't see those very often! They have a nice variety including breads and cakes, which is hard to come by. I tried several things. It was a hit and miss. Loved the white cake with strawberry in the middle. Gluten free white cake is really hard to nail, and theirs is perfect! Wasn't a fan of the cinnamon rolls. Flavor was too earthy. Cheesy scones had good flavor. Overall, worth a stop in. read more

It's been awhile since I've stopped by here for a treat. Since my friend is gluten-free, we had to come here. We picked up two vegan gluten-free items: apple cinnamon turnover and the banana chocolate muffin. Both were pretty good. The texture of the turnover crust was a little crumbly, but the overall flavor of the filling was fantastic. The muffin had wonderful moist texture and just the right amount of chocolate. I wish there were more vegan options, but I recognize this place is primarily there to serve the gluten-free folks. If you're in SF and over at the Ferry Building, this place is a must try! read more

My husband and I spent a long weekend in San Francisco. I was super excited to try some of the gluten free places, with Mariposa baking at the top of my list. We had breakfast sandwiches for our first go. I had mine on a croissant, my husband's was on the sandwich bread. Both were fantastic. So fantastic that we came back the next day to pick up some other items to take home with us. We tried the spinach and cheese raviolis, cinnamon roll, a couple of other pastries, carrot cake, and a loaf of bread. All were fantastic!! The sandwich bread is so good, it will be my go to for bread from now on. What a fabulous find! read more

The fluffiest cinnamon roll I've ever had. After being gluten free, most baked goods have a less than desirable texture but these taste like the real thing and are a normal size too! So many options that it was hard to choose from. Anytime I'm back in SF I'll be sure to come back and try other pastries. read more

Stumbled upon this barkery by accident. We were looking somewhere to have lunch and I'm not much of a sweets person, so didn't want any pastries. Having a gluten allergy, I didn't have a lot of options. I was going to settle for a bear claw, but to my surprise when I saw the menu with all gluten free options. I was so impressed. Still had my reservations since I haven't found a gf bread that I liked. But wow. The avocado toast blew me away!!! So good and so fresh. I immediately finished my toast and went back to buy baguettes and sandwich bread. The employees were so nice and they mentioned that there is also a bakery in Oakland if I can't make it to SF. All in all.. I've finally found a gf bread that I love. Thank you for making a gf bakery!! (I also don't have a picture of the avocado toast because I inhaled it.) read more

So I am in no way gluten free...but my good friend is so I taste some items here and there whenever she's around. For the most part, I've found bakery goods to be pretty inedible or obviously gluten free. Not at Mariposa! You would seriously never know the difference. I've had a few items here and can't say I've been disappointed. It's legit, tasty, and moist. I hear they make an amazing pecan pie which I'd love to try someday. Otherwise, the cookies, croissants, and seasonal goods have been great. Gluten free has definitely come a long way and Mariposa is pioneering the greatness behind it. Glad to know there's an option like this in the city for my gluten free friends. It's located in the ferry building so public transportation would be your best option! read more

I usually have a good experience here but on my last trip, my spinach & feta pocket was cold in the middle. I asked the girl if she can heat it up but she told me since I took a bite out of it she can't heat it. I understand that but I also don't understand why nothing can be done when given a cold sandwich. The entire middle was too cold to eat, I threw it away. read more

Inside the Ferry Building among the many eateries and odd ball shops is Mariposa Baking. When I stopped by to check out the goodies the shop was busy, that's a good sign! What makes this place special is that everything is gluten free and lots are also dairy free! But you don't have to have a gluten intolerance to enjoy clean, fresh bakeries. They had things from morning danishes, croissants, breads, cookies and cakes too. I grabbed up some Vietnamese tea cookies for munching on while strolling through the farmers market. Absolutely delish! I had to slow myself down from eating the whole bag at once. People working there were very friendly while ringing me up. I plan to come back to the Ferry Building to explore more and will definitely stop by Mariposa Baking for some treats. read more

Arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon with a hefty appetite. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (ham and egg) on a bagel but they sold out so I went with whatever bread they had available. The price surprised me for a solo sammy ($12) but I figured the sandwich would be worth the heightened price. I figured wrong. It looked like something a kid could handle. I took a bite and was further disappointed. Pretty mediocre overall. The egg was fine, the ham was fine, the bread was not toasted and fine. Overall, plain and unsatisfying. It should have been a $6 sandwich- but let's be real/fair and say $8 for its location. $12!? No drink? No sides? Meh. I did like the look of the place and the pastries but they really need to step up their breakfast sandwich game. Either that or not overcharge for something so plain. read more

Honestly the BEST find of my entire stay here-it's gluten free heaven!!! Went here every morning to grab breakfast and snacks through the day. By far my favorite is the butter croissant. Also got-butter cookies, pain au chocolate, soft pretzel, and bagel. All of it was delicious. Got some goodies to take home and will be ordering online as soon as I run out! read more

I love Mariposa Baking!!! They are a bit pricey, so I don't indulge as often. What I usually do is go there, get inspired and go home and make the dessert. However, when I want a good treat they have one. They have croissants, a fantastic pies, good pasta, baguettes, and more! But this time, I got a sticky bund that was amazing and a chocolate, caramel, and cracker dessert. It tasted so good and if in the area, I'll go back and get some more. I love that they have good foods and that they really help me feel less left out. I miss good breads, cakes, and so on. I understand that the cost of making these items has gone up, but for a whoopie pie, a croissant, toaster streudel, bread, or pie, they can't be beat! read more

I'm so happy I found this place!!!! I had their Gobbler and let's just say I gobbled it all up. It was so delicious. This will for now be my go-to spot during my lunch breaks or whenever I feel like having a dessert. read more

An absolute must visit for the gluten free crowd. If you are looking to maximize what you can try out of so many options, I recommend the things that are hard to find/make for most of us: croissants, turnovers, hand pies, etc. They were the closest I've had to being a "real" pastry. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of this place. Some of the food here is good, the donuts, and the ham and cheese pockets, and I understand it's gluten free so I managed my expectations but something's are just so grainy or flavorless that I couldn't get past it. Also the customer service is something to be desired and it's brother convenient nor in expensive to go to. Honestly there are other gluten free options that are better and who have nicer people working there so it's a pass for me. read more

5 stars because it ain't easy to find quality, gluten free baked goods. Everytime I visit the Ferry Building, a pit stop at Mariposa is a must. The cherry turnover is my favorite. I can't tell that it's gluten free at all. I think the fresh cherry filling lends moisture that many gluten free baked goods typically lack. The only drawback of course is the price, but considering the quality and gluten free nature, it's worth it for a nice treat yourself pick me up. read more

Gluten after heaven!!!! They have just about every GF treat you could imagine - breads, bagels, muffins, cookies, cinnamon rolls!!! The service is great - it's a takeaway in the Ferry Building - which is full of other treats for you and the rest of your party. Highly recommend stopping both read more

I have been searching for good gluten-free bread. Their baguette is delicious. Highly recommend.

I will never forget the unbelievably accommodating service I received from multiple people associated with our visit here to the Ferry Building location in SF. NIcole was the primary person I dealt with regarding questions about ordering and she was so great to work with, answering all my email questions and making me feel comfortable with my upcoming visit. But Marissa was also extremely helpful, both in general in answering my question but also after all the fuss I made, I screwed up my pickup date, caught it, and she was all over it, rectifying it for me! Then at the store itself, Lupe agreed to ensure she made enough pretzels for us to pick up at the desired time and overall I could not be more pleased with the level of service they delivered. Man, we stocked up, too. Unbelievable baked goods. Had several different types of cupcakes and all of them were outstanding. I would not have even known they were gluten-free. My favorite was mocha but also the carrot cake and the chocolate cupcakes were both very good as well. They didn't fall apart like some gf baked good do, and they didn't overcompensate with too much sugar like some do. These babies were delicious! The feta spinach spanakopita savory thing was also delicious! And so convenient to the ferry! Once again, thank you to all the Mariposa staff who made us feel welcome and prepared. read more

The white flaky viennese tea cookies & pecan coconut macaroons caught my eye as I wandered around the Ferry building. Normally, a bit wary of gluten free baked goods, these bites looked moist and delicious. I took a chance -- so glad I did! The viennese tea cookies, like a mexican wedding cookie, were free of practically everything (gluten/soy/egg/dairy free & vegan) that you'd think it's a recipe for 'air'. But it was FULL of deliciousness: flaky, moist and gently sweet. The pecan coconut macaroons (gluten/soy/dairy free): crisp outside and chewy inside. Tastes so good, it'll still make you feel guilty in indulging. Can't wait to try their other items! read more

Ugh I really wanted to like this place. I ordered ahead online, and it was ready for pickup when I arrived. However, I ordered the pain au chocolate and bear claw and was super disappointed. They were both very dense. I tried warming them up just a little to get them to soften up but not much of a difference. In terms of flavor, the pain au chocolate was better, but something was still lacking. Also, the bear claw had a smell of egg, which maybe they brush on egg on the top to give it the shininess while baking, but couldn't get over that. Overall, the experience was disappointing :( read more

What do I know of gluten-free? I just know more people around me are eating this way, and I feel like I should get on the bandwagon. If someone told me to jump off a bridge. would I do it? Well, sure, I'm a lemming. I admit it. That's probably why I still work in the FiDi and why I'm at the Ferry Building looking for a quick lunch before a 1PM meeting. When you come upon the Mariposa stall, you'll probably be struck by how appetizing everything looks behind the glass divider (photo: http://bit.ly/168hdHi), and it was only after a while that I noticed their signage says "Artisan-Crafted Gluten-Free" (photo: http://bit.ly/16QzwDo). That sounds so San Francisco, but I decided to go for it anyway. The menu looked good, though I wish they would place it in a spot where you're not feeling pressured to order right away. There was an impatient, heavily sighing woman behind me perhaps due to the lack of gluten in her diet. I quickly decided upon the $9 Gobbler, a turkey sandwich that piles oven-roasted slices onto their specialty baguette and adds Swiss cheese, arugula, tomato, red onion and lemon mayo (photo: http://bit.ly/1b9G1Vb). And how was it, you ask? Surprisingly good. The gluten-free baguette has the rise and crusty texture of a regular one, and the earthy taste was a reasonable facsimile if a tad chewier and maybe a bit too vinegary. Minor complaints really. It's apparently made of a mix of brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, apple cider vinegar and yeast. The rest of the ingredients were just fine and actually made my attention wander from the bread itself. What else made me wander were a couple of the $1.50 Chocolate Chip Cookies which were truly as satisfying as the real ones (photo: http://bit.ly/17VClHQ). They have definitely mastered the texture and flavor people would expect from them, quite a feat really since I would think a gluten-free cookie could otherwise double as a coaster on your Noguchi glass coffee table. A week later, I came back to buy some Penguinos for a friend undergoing a colostomy, and she loved them. So gluten-free can work for me. FOOD - 4 stars...surprisingly good facsimiles of the real things AMBIANCE - 3 stars...typical Ferry Building chaos SERVICE - 4 stars....nice and thoughtful TOTAL - 4 stars...free of gluten but not of flavor read more
