Solano County Sister Counties

Perhaps you live in Solano County; however, you work in Contra Costa County, Yolo County or Napa County.  Here's a few suggestions that may bring a little spice to your gluten-free life!

Mariposa Baking
Located in Oakland, CA 

Mariposa offers a variety of gluten-free baked goods. All GF food is made in their dedicated gluten free facility
Hot suggestion of the week: Their Coffeecake! It's heaven in a bite. 
Bi-weekly must have: The bagels. You can pick this up at their bakery or online. 
Addictive Goody: The chocolate chip cookies. Heavenly. 

Delicious dishes provided by Mariposa in Oakland during their Anniversary party in September 2008. 

Tip of the month: Do purchase some of their frozen goods. The fried chicken is very good and so are the hamburger buns. These are located in the large freezer to the left of the cafe. 

Tip of the week: Call ahead. Occasionally they run out of their GF bread and if you arrive without a call in before hand, you may have to wait 30 minutes before the GF bread is ready. Excellent bread and worth the wait, but try to be prepared, if possible. Calling ahead also ensures that they will be open. 

Farmer's Kitchen Cafe
Located in Davis, CA

Farmer's Kitchen offers both gluten-free and gluten options. A majority of everything is made gluten-free. 

 

Kinnikinnick English Muffins

Foods at Mariposa in Oakland, CA

Overall Review:

The selection of gluten-free items spans from two large top opening freezers, to three shelves dedicated to gluten-free goodies, and a stand-up freezer offering various other cold items. Feels like a regular 'ol grocery store, minus the deli, and bakery section. Yes, Harvest House does carry gluten items -- most of those items are either in sealed containers or packaged as to not contaminate the gluten-free customers.
