Per-allergen evidence
The Cookie Jar in Calgary operates a 100% gluten-free facility, owner Laurie Falconer, who has coeliac disease, bakes everything in a dedicated commercial kitchen built specifically to avoid cross-contamination. The Calgary Journal profile and multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews confirm a dedicated kitchen, fryer, pizza oven, toaster, and knowledgeable staff. The Chiang Mai location serves labelled GF cookies and gelato with GF cones, but is NOT a dedicated GF facility; a disclaimer warns it may not be safe for coeliac disease. The Calgary site is the safer bet for coeliac diners.
