Gluten free BUT not flavor free. One of the best ham and cheese croissants. Looks simple and typical but so good with the buttery, flaky thin layers of bread that's crispy outside and soft inside. The ham and cheese was in perfect ratio. The croissant has a little sweetness to it that complements the savory ham and melty cheese. The cheese tasted like it's guyere. They can warm the food for you. The cinnamon roll had a thin layer of cinnamon spread between the soft bread dough. Not too sweet. Better eaten warm. Noticeable that it's gluten free because there's no stretch to the dough but still better than other traditional cinnamon rolls I've had. It was soft and not dry. Both items were good size for the price. They also offer pre-packaged pastries in addition to freshly made items. Lots of and good variety of baked goods to choose from Nice staff. There could be a little wait to get the food warmed up. read more

The line can get pretty long, but honestly I get it. There's this moment of wonder that happens when people realize what this place offers. I've waited plenty of times and never minded, especially when I see families light up because their kid with allergies can actually eat here. Though yeah, the prices can be a bit of a shock! The line isn't any worse than most spots in the Ferry Building, especially on Farmers Market Saturdays when everyone and their mother is there. What I love most is just being able to exist as an allergy-prone city person without the drama. My friends and I split up to grab our coffee and breakfast, and for once I don't have to deal with my friends thinking "wow is she going to be able to eat anything?" Sure, I'm spending more per treat, but having a place I can trust without second-guessing? That's worth every penny. The vibe really depends on who's in line with you, but the staff are always incredible. Very In-N-Out or Chick-fil-A energy, super efficient and friendly. I usually grab some rolls alongside my breakfast choice and then meet up with my friends after they hit Acme so we can put together some cheese and charcuterie for later. read more

I ordered the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and it was excellent. Everything was gluten free, which is always a plus, and you would never know it from the taste. The bread was perfectly chewy, and the spicy mayo really tied the whole sandwich together. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I stopped by on a Saturday when the market was packed, and it took about fifteen minutes to get my food, which felt totally reasonable given how busy it was. The bakery itself is small but really cute, and it is absolutely worth making a stop if you are in the area. read more

I have been meaning to drop by for some time now for lunch! With so many good lunch spots at the Ferry Building it can get hard to choose. Well, Mariposa bakery has plenty of baked goods, pastries, baguettes, bread, cookies etc. They are known for their gluten free options. I ordered their vegan empanada and it was delicious! Small but mighty! They heated it up so the exterior had a bit of a crunch to it. Inside had potatoes, carrots with a hearty curry flavor. Enjoyed the sun sitting outside, it was wonderful! read more

I tried the bagel and didn't like this too much. I had better gluten free bagels, but my partner got a hot breakfast sandwich and I liked the bread for the sandwich way more. I'd get that next time I visit. I purchased flour for $7.50, a bag of 4 biscuits for $20, and a couple of croissants which I don't remember how much. I took advantage of their day old pastry discount, got a chocolate croissant and toasted it in the air fryer when I got home. It was delicious! Also those biscuits were crazy addicting. As you can see, I got very trigger happy with their offerings. I will definitely do it again and shop my heart out read more

This place offers the most delectable sweet and savory pastries, pies, sandwiches, and more. It was so hard to choose what to get when everything was so tempting! I opted to try the bacon olive and cheese spiral, and mariposa mcbiscuit. Wow, that biscuit was so buttery and tasted freshly baked, the egg and melted cheese adding to the delicious breakfast treat. The bacon olive and cheese spiral was even better, the flavor and texture of that bread light, buttery, and just addicting. Service was great, the line to order went fast, and the wait time for our food was about 15 minutes or so, not bad considering it was a special event day (Fleet Week festivities in the area, hence the crowds). read more

This is a MECCA for those with Celiac! Luis was super helpful and made some great suggestions. The croissants are LEGIT!

Ferry Building so so great to walk around and the Mariposa location is in the center of it all! read more

I was really impressed by Mariposa Baking! There were so many options of baked goods to choose from, it was hard to decide what I wanted! I settled on a more savory filling option of a bacon and egg sandwich. It was really good, the gluten free bread was up there as one of the best I've had! I would definitely like to come back and try some of the baked goods. The pop-tarts were especially intriguing! read more

OK... let me get this straight... Maripossa makes AMAZING gluten free baked goods... I mean REALLY DELICIOUS! The part that bugs me though is the prices. $12 for a gluten free croissant is fucking insane... $13 for two scones??? It's as if they've honed in on the celiac community, made something delicious, and then take advantage of their disease. Mariposa seems to sum up "Hippie" culture to me: it isn't about peace and love... it's about how to make money from the misfortune of others. Great baked goods... Uber-Capitalist business model.... not much different that the oligarchs who run this country. read more

Tried the biscuit egg sandwich and the cinnamon roll. While waiting for our breakfast sandwiches, looking at the display cases made me wish I had a small fortune and a thousand stomachs. The variety of GF offerings is amazing; I had never even seen some of the foods in GF version before (e.g. biscotti, hand pies). While waiting, customers stopped by, only to keep walking after announcing, "Oh it's all gluten-free." You do not need to be GF to enjoy these very yummy foods! I LOVED my sandwich (hadn't had a biscuit since before my celiac diagnosis!) and my sibling, not GF, also really enjoyed their food and gave this place a 5-star review. My cinnamon roll was yummy even when eaten the next morning and microwaved (I know, I know, would have put in oven if not in a rush to get to the airport!) Will definitely be back at one of their locations the next time I'm in the Bay Area read more

Came here for a light lunch on a Sunday. There was a line, but the wait is not too long. Ended up getting a cinnamon roll, a pop tart, and a calzone. Everything was delicious! If I hadn't known this was a gluten-free bakery, I never would have guessed. I'd argue that the cinnamon roll was even better than most cinnamon rolls from "gluten" bakeries. Will definitely come here again and would recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it just didn't do it for me. The staff was nice, but forgot some of the items I ordered. They offered to heat up food for some people, but not for all when ordering the same items. Most of the items were ok if you ate them immediately, but others seemed to be not great the next day. I did go towards the end of the day, so maybe the better items were available earlier! read more

While in San Francisco, I kept hearing about Mariposa Baking from all my gluten free foodie friends. I was luckily staying right across the street so I got to enjoy breakfast and lunch here a few times! The first time I got an "everyseed" bagel because bagels are one of the things I miss the most in my gluten free diet. The bagel is definitely not an "everything" bagel as it was missing the salt on top. I found it to be a bit lackluster in flavor because of this. They also no longer carry lox which I was sad to find out upon arrival since it appears in some menus online. The next time I visited Mariposa, I got a spinach and feta pocket and a ham and cheese pocket. Both were a massive serving size and too big to finish in one sitting - but both very delicious! I definitely recommend stopping by if you are gluten free because this place has some of the tastiest and also most beautiful GF pastries I've ever seen. read more

Best GF bakery I've ever had! If you are GF try this place for sure!! Most GF bakeries I e had have been sweet focused, but this place also has savory. When was the last time you had a GF hot pocket or cheese pie thing??? Never? oh right! But alas, this place has it. Line could be better organized because it gets cluttered in the small hallway, but it moved fast enough. Last mention: the donut holes. Great fresh, but absolutely amazing the next morning paired with hot coffee! I haven't found a donut hole with same texture as a gluten hole until now. Loved this place, a local gem of GF goodies. Wish I had a place like this where I lived. read more

Amazing food- all gluten free. Options my children and I (all celiac) have never enjoyed before. Had to walk a bit from a paid lot just to get here, but worth it. It's inside the Ferry building with other small stores and vendors. Go early if you want a selection. We even bought some cinnamon rolls for the next morning. read more

While wandering through the Ferry building on a rainy Saturday, I needed a treat. The Ferry building was packed, and there are baked goods at just about every turn. Mariposa caught my eye because their muffins looked so sumptuous. The store is very small, but they have a good variety of baked and savory items. There are lunch items like pizzas and bagels, some ready made pastas to cook at home, and of course, lots of sweets. The line was about 10 deep, but it went pretty fast. I got a berry muffin, which was moist and fruity. I didn't realize this at the time, but they have many allergen free items (nut-free, milk-free, gluten-free, soy-free, etc.) read more

Gluten free bakery inside the Ferry Building. Everything looked really delicious, especially the cute tiramisu that had cocoa powder in the shaped of a butterfly. I was in the mood for a chocolate chip cookie so I got that, as well as a lemon-orange cheesecake. The cookie was okay. I'm not GF and I def felt like it was missing something. The cheesecake was really good. read more

I still give this place five stars for their gluten free baked goods and take home lasagna but overall four stars because their service still sucks most of the time. I went by here recently on a Sunday morning before a meeting to grab something hot to eat. I love their hot pockets. However, it was 9:30 am. A number of people around me and I started to form a line. Some people asked the staff questions about the pastries and they answered while putting stuff out. None of the staff thought to tell us that they didn't open until 10 am on Sundays. After about 5 minutes of being ignored, I saw the small sign for their hours. I pointed it out to others and we all left. That was a horrible experience as I was hungry and now didn't have time to get something else before my meeting. On Pi Day, I came by and was pleased they had a number of pies available in different sizes. I picked up a small Chocolate Pie that was low in sugar and a small Cherry Pie. They were the perfect size for the three of us though they could have fed more people. We didn't finish the pies ourselves. The Chocolate Pie was yummy and perfect for me but my husband said it wasn't sweet enough for him. We all loved the Cherry Pie! We went back recently and picked up their pizza dough. It came with two rounds. They were awesome!!! We put on our own toppings and popped them into the oven. They came out delicious. I love their food. I just wish the service was better. read more

Got a cake here for my friend's birthday -- one of our friends is vegan, so I went on yelp and this was the first vegan bakery that popped up near me. The cake was very affordable ($46) and honestly really huge for the price! I got a chocolate mocha cake which was pre made and already ready in the fridge, so it was super easy to grab and go. Very very sweet, really thick buttercream frosting, and the cake texture was quite dense rather than fluffy. It almost tasted like a fudgey brownie texture. The chocolate covered coffee beans on top were a fun touch but quite bitter obviously. If this is your preferred type of cake, run don't walk! read more

The ferry building Mariposa location is certainly better in some aspects than the Oakland location. However, the price still remains ridiculous. I got a Reuben for $17. For this price, I was expecting a normal size sandwich with normal size bread. Yes, gluten-free is often smaller, but at a gf Bakery, where they are charging you $17 for your sandwich, It's not a ludicrous assumption that the sandwich might be normal sized. It was not. It was made with small bread. The sandwich was good, the rye bread was good, they were generous with toppings, but I still couldn't really get over the $17 charge attached to it. I also got two pastries to take home with me, the spanakopita, and the curry turnover. The curry turnover was in that usual piecrust that they use, and the spanakopita was actually in a nice flaky sort of dough similar to their croissant. A little bit gummy, and doughy, but definitely flaky. The curry turnover was really pretty good, filled about halfway not all the way. For the $13 charge, again, I expected it to be larger. It was the size of your standard turnover. I really sort of dainty pastry. The same goes for the spanakopita in terms of size and price. The spanakopita was definitely filled more though. The spinach leaves were entirely whole which means every time you take a bite, a lot of extra spinach comes with that bite. read more

I was super excited to visit here again I love their stuff. I had to return as the online shopping catalog is not as vast as the store. Being my second time here I got a little overwhelmed with the amount of options offered again. My favourite things were the croissant, the cinnamon roll and the spinach pie. I also got cinnamon rolls to take home that was pre packed but it wasn't as good as compared to the one i ate on site. Ofc I will go agin as there is no place I've seen quite like this. However, I do wish items that are available to online had a wide range of products like the vast selection in SF. read more

So glad we found Mariposa Baking Company during our stay in San Francisco! We ended up coming here for breakfast every morning of our five-day trip. The gluten-free options are amazing, and we couldn't stop trying different items from their menu. Every single thing we had was delicious--pastries, breakfast options, you name it. We'll definitely be stocking up on goodies before heading home. If you're in the area, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And for a place so busy. The service is really quick. Highly recommend! read more

Their cinnamon bun is good but super heavy and calorie-dense. The frosting gave it a weird texture when biting into it, felt like aluminum foil on the teeth. Hard to explain. Their other options looked very well made. read more

Everything we purchased was very tasty and the texture & quality was excellent! Unfortunately, I do think they are extremely pricy... so, for us it would be a splurge and for special occasions... not a regular thing... Bravo for what they do and providing such a wide variety of gluten free opinions read more

Like baked goods but your body hates gluten? This place has you covered. Just remember "moderation". Unless it's football season.

BEST VARIETY OF GLUTEN FREE BAKED GOODS! I was visiting town with GF friends and this was our favorite spot. Everything here looked so delicious we had a hard time choosing, which is rare to say given that bakeries usually only have 1-2 gluten free options. Not to mention how cute this area was and how helpful the staff were. I got the ham & cheese pocket and I'm dying to come back for the spinach & feta pocket read more

On the pricey side, not gonna lie, but I emailed ahead of time for a friend who is celiac AND cannot handle xanthan gum nor guar gum. Eileen emailed me a list of products which were safe for my friend to have and it was kind of a bucket list moment to take her and buy her something. I'd thought of her in 2013 when I first saw the bakery and then every time after that. So here we got to go together in 2024! The list of gum-free products: Banana Muffins Pumpkin Muffins Coconut lemon square Crumb Cake Almond Horn Coconut pecan macaroons I didn't catch her name but the beautiful young Black woman managing the till was also really helpful in flipping around the product label for muffins to double-check (because this was a chocolate chip version), and knew exactly where the things on our list were.

My boyfriend and I were very excited to try this bakery as we struggle to find his favorite foods (baked goods) especially as someone who is gluten free.

We also tried the bacon olive and cheese spiral which was a little better. read more
