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!

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. 

Located in Davis, CA
Farmer's Kitchen offers both gluten-free and gluten options. A majority of everything is made gluten-free. 
  • Tip of the year: Call ahead. Regardless of what you're headed over there for.. Just call ahead. Trust me. They list their closing time as 9pm, however I arrived after 8pm one day and the owner had already let her employees close up shop for the day. She told me to call ahead next time. I did. 
  • Tip of the week: When you call ahead, make sure they have gluten free bread. This last visit was rather disappointing, as they didn't have any more gluten free bread and it was going to take 30 minutes to either make more or unthaw the frozen bread. 
  • 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.
