We place orders with vendors days ahead of pick up so that they can plan their production, reduce waste, and give staff time to make their amazing products. This also allows us to limit our environmental impact and reduce delivery fees for you.
Mariposa Baking Co.'s start was simple. Patti Furey Crane, Mariposa's founder, craved high-quality sweets while pregnant with her first child. Finding few options at the time, she set to baking them herself. And so, in 2004, Mariposa was hatched. Mariposa's mission – create wholesome, hand-crafted food using the finest natural ingredients. Mariposa’s first few years were spent in a shared kitchen in West Berkeley, California. Their batches grew too big for those ovens, so in 2006 we built a new place to rest our wings — a dedicated gluten-free kitchen in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland, California. In 2009, we fluttered to a second home: a Kiosk in San Francisco's Ferry Building. Mariposa’s presence in this food purveyors’ paradise enabled us to bring daily bread and hand-crafted treats to San Francisco’s gluten-free community. Mariposa has a passion for: the baked goods they make, the creative journey they're on, and the communities they serve.
"Mariposa is the Bay Area’s go-to source for all things gluten-free, both savory and sweet....Mariposa has found a way to make pretty much all of the greatest gluten-rich hits safe for celiacs, from bagels with cream cheese to quiches, focaccia, pretzels, even turkey sandwiches on gluten-free “rye.” Brownies, biscotti, pie, cakes, cookies, muffins and doughnuts are all available for dessert." — Food and Wine Magazine
