Mariposa is now in San Francisco!

Mariposa, my favorite "local" gluten-free bakery, has just gotten a little bit more local! As of yesterday, the bakery has a permanent kiosk in the famed San Francisco Ferry Building. There are still a few early kinks (no credit card payment processor, and an empty refrigerator), but you can pick up freshly baked gluten-free baked goods every day of the week!

I just dropped by for lunch and picked up a 2-pack of multi-seed bagels, a loaf of their new focaccia and, naturally, a chocolate chip cookie. As I oogled over the offerings, a woman walked by and proclaimed, "Gluten-free bagels?! I haven't had a bagel in 10 years!" Yet another satisfied customer :)

This location doesn't offer all of the luxuries of the original Oakland shop, so you can't get your bagel toasted or have it slathered in cream cheese. BUT, you can walk down the aisle to Farm Fresh To You and load up on organic condiments and snacks. I picked up some hummus for my bagel, along with a bag of Majan's "Bhuja"snack mix, which is both vegan and gluten-free. The multigrain noodles and chips are made out of yellow peas, chick peas, sunflower oil, rice, potato, tapioca and sesame seeds! A great crunchy find!
