| - Definitely as good as it gets for cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. While I'm not gluten intolerant and their regular baked goods are just as good, I gravitate to the dark chocolate brownie (baked with house made almond meal), a ginger cupcake with cream cheese icing (the gluten free ones are made with a combo of potato and rice flour), and even a macaron (oh yeah, coconut and also gluten free). Also, every treat is named after a song, from the 80s to the present, making choosing which one to eat first a real popularity contest. In the end, they'll all get eaten anyway I guess.
With Bliss charging $3.70 for a gluten free cupcake, and Crave charging $3.75, Cookie Mama's prices are about on par with the standard high end bakeries in the city. The owner also focuses on using organic ingredients with no preservatives or additives, which I can definitely get behind. And where else in Calgary can you get a chocolate chip gluten free cookie, a Jamaican patty, and a latte (Fratello coffee, locally roasted) all in the same place?
Take a stroll through Inglewood, one of the most interesting neighbourhoods in Calgary, and be sure to stop in at this gem.
