I have been going to Mariposa bakery in Oakland, California since I was little and they have always provided amazing foods. They are an allergen-friendly facility with goods that explode with flavor. Their specialty is gluten-free baked goods, but they also sell other things that are completely vegan, egg-free, soy-free, dairy-free, etc. Some of my personal favorite products include the Viennese tea cookies, mocha cake, apple cinnamon hand pies, raspberry squares, and sandwich rolls. Mariposa Bakery has another location in San Francisco. This bakery also offers online purchasing on their website: https://www.mariposabaking.com/. I hope you enjoy Mariposa Bakery as much as I do!

Interview with Employee:
What are your allergy procedures?
There are a lot of procedures, good manufacturing practices too. It begins with storage. The goods come in, they have to be separated and stored separately. Allergens can't be stored over, you know, ordinary food, right? No almonds over lettuce, that kind of thing. And then, when we take them out, it's sort of the same thing, right? You take out the things that are allergens, you gotta have gloves, you gotta wash your hands every time you switch to touching another ingredient or product.
Before you do that, you gotta wash your hands, change your gloves, change your apron. A new apron after working with allergens. That's pretty much the basics. Keeping ingredients separated and making sure that after you touch the ingredients, wash your hands, change your apron, new gloves.
Which items are the most allergy-friendly?
I'll say the banana muffins and the Penguino cupcakes. The chocolate cupcakes are actually probably the most allergen free. No milk. They're completely vegan. No nuts.
