Re: Cafe Mariposa - coffeehouse with gluten-free goodies opening in Oakland!

[Guest guest]

Is Cafe Mariposa related to the Mariposa baking company that makes those delicious brownies and biscotti that are sold at stores? Either way, this is very exciting... I can't wait to check it out when I'm visiting the Bay Area.

Yes, I believe the new coffeehouse opening up is owned by the same

person.

Cafe Mariposa is currently open at 5427 Telegraph Ave around the

side in unit D3. They have parking and are open from 8 am to 4 pm

(although the official opening is not until Monday, June 11 and the

grand opening will be in July)

I just had a lovely cup of coffee and tried all their gluten free,

dairy free goodies and admired the gluten free with dairy ones.

Beautiful and luscious!! As good or better than what those other

people (the gluten eaters) eat! Besides the biscotti and brownies

that you can get at the grocery, Patti and her staff are making

lemon squares, chocolate chip cookies, morning buns, blueberry

muffins and something else I'm forgetting at the moment. You can

buy the larger packs right there or get take out or relax at one of

their tables

The cafe is on the site of the commercial bakery and is a dedicated

space (it never was a kitchen before this so NO cross contamination!)

They are still working out some of the details of a cafe and are

quite open to suggestions. You can reach them at the Mariposa

website - www.mariposabaking.com or stop in, get a goodie and make a

suggestion!!

They are as organic as they can be and still provide good value

(they use organic for some of the flours but some of the ingredients

are just too hard to find at a reasonable price for organic). They

know what is in each item and can tell you! The spoons, etc. are

made of potato starch (not corn).

Patti Furey Crane, one of the partners, told me that they want to

add savory items based on " I can eat that " baked goods - pannini

perhaps as well as other breakfast and lunch items but it will

depend on demand - so go and be the demand so Patti and partners can

supply it!!

And say hi to Rory, our friend and the professional pastry chef!

There is also Kapcakes Bakery in Palo Alto. Like Mariposa and I Can Eat That Bakeries they have some products in stores, but they also do special order birthday and wedding cakes (which are sooo tasty).

It seems to be just Monday through Friday 8-4 currently, but I'll let

her know that there is some interest for weekends.

Please do let her know- Even just an afternoon on Saturday would be

great. We only have one car and there just is no way for us to make it

during those hours.... *sniff*

They are so new that the maps have not found them yet. They are on

Telegraph between 51st and 55th in North Oakland across the street

from the Chevron station. There is MOCHA in front and they are around

to the right just past the new wine shop. The building is an old

brick Art Deco building with a Volvo shop in the rear. They are next

to Leo's Audio. All this is close to where Rt.24 crosses over

Telegraph. If you are coming from the hills or the tunnel, get off on

the Telegraph Ave exit and turn left for 2 blocks.

They are about 10 blocks from the MacArthur BART station. Or you can

take the 40 or the 42 bus. And 12 stops across the street as well.

Connie

[Guest guest]

Ok- I take it back, there might be a way, but given how long it would

take me to do that from Mountain View, I'll never end up going unless

she's open on a weekend and DH and I can make a day trip of it.

There are several things I'd like to do in that area, actually-

Chocolates opened a store location in the Oakland area

recently as well. Thank you for the info, though. It sounds like a

good option for more local customers.

Yay! Thank you Patti- I'm so excited. One of our favorite things to do on

weekends is go to

gluten free cafes, so we will definitely make a special trip out of it! Good

luck and I look

forward to trying your baked goods!

Hi Hanna, Patti,

I live in Moraga and would love to come to Cafe Mariposa. I'm quite happy that you are there! It would be helpful , though, if you always listed your address and phone number when you send emails; I poured through the emails and couldn't find your address. I think people would be more motivated to check you out if you listed that information on all your correspondences.

Thanks,

Caryn Gottfried
