Review of Mariposa Baking Company

I visited this bakery with great enthusiasm that quickly faded. I've eaten at numerous bakeries in Europe, Australia, and America, and if this is the best San Francisco has to offer (as it seems from recommendations), it's very disappointing. The pastries I bought were okay but nothing special (especially not for $6 per pastry). The Pain au Chocolat's pastry lacked the expected flakiness, and the chocolate pieces inside were not particularly flavorful. The cinnamon roll, while tastier, was overly sweet, with an additional layer of sugar on top. People with gluten allergies or celiac disease should not settle for this. While I appreciate that it's safe, there's room for improvement in making cakes more flavorful. It would have been a pleasant experience if there were indoor seating available for enjoying the food in a more relaxed atmosphere.
