    You must try these beavertails, at least once, while you are in Canmore or Banff. They are deliciously addicting. It is delectable delight. They are made fresh right after you order. Made in just a few minutes. The crew are all very helpful, polite and jolly. Shout out to Archie, Jessie and Mark! Thank you to you all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is very clean and well decorated with fun stuff, even the trash cans are colorful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went to this store a few times while were in Canmore.

    A nice fried dessert. Sort of like a denser funnel cake with toppings. Pretty much a fried dough that's dusted with sugar and whatever flavor option you choose to top it with. It's fun to try while visiting Canada. Service was nice. We came during off season so no line/wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can stand inside and eat around their one table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We liked the apple pie one the best out of the ones we tried.

    The tourists in us wanted to try anything that says Canadian. The two Banff locations always had long lines, so we decided to give it a try when we saw the same Chain in downtown Canmore. We ordered the traditional poutines and the classic BeaverTail (there are many other topping available). The premade dough was freshly fried upon order and dusted with cinnamon and sugar. It's pretty much the Canadian version of a churro. The poutine is what you'd expect from a fast food chain, with the cheese curd came in a pre-portioned small plastic bag. I doubt the locals actually eat anything from here, but as a tourist, at least we tried it, eh!

    It's the touristy thing to do when in this area. BeaverTails is Canadian snack shop with locations throughout Canada and with a few shops in the USA. It's kind of like a flat churro, or a sweet flatbread that is fried. We tried their Classic BeaverTail with cinnamon and sugar. It was good like a churro and raised up my glucose level to pre-diabetic levels. Half of one was enough for the entire week. They had other flavors or toppings like bananas, pistachios and more. If sweet isn't your thing, they do have savory as they can make you a beaver dog, or a hot dog wrapped in their fried dough. The classic was good and messy. It is worth trying if your blood glucose level allows you.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were two locations in downtown Banff that were absolutely packed and filthy due to the lack of staff and overwhelming amount of tourists.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We saw a location here in downtown Canmore and it was a much less crowded area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried their traditional Beavertail and a traditional poutine. The fried dough was topped with cinnamon sugar and tasted like churro dough; it's alright and exactly like you would expect. The poutine was also fine; tasted per expectations and nothing amazing. The cheese curds literally came out of a plastic bag that the staff cut open and dumped on the fries; not impressed. Overall, this is just a touristy spot but isn't mind blowing in any way.

    A true Canadian dessert delicacy... it was just alright! I'm a big maple fan and this certainly hit the spot. I knocked off a couple stars because the inside of the restaurant seemed really dirty. The countertops and bins that the food was in were caked in massive amounts of the toppings. The cashier also seemed really overwhelmed and just tried to get through the line - so not very personable. The treat however, was delicious.

    Friendly staff and accommodating to our requests to customize from the menu items. It's a little pricey but the texture, flavor and gooeyness makes it all worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is small with one tall table for standing only. No seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a sink to wash your hands after all the stickiness from the finger licking goodness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a few locations around Canada.

    We had to try beavertails while visiting the area and this spot was great! I got the coco vanil which had vanilla and chocolate sauce with Oreos on the fried dough. It's a huge serving and made fresh. The staff were very helpful and told us the popular flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables outside to eat at with a beautiful view of the mountains![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A made to order deep fried donut thats in a flattened shape like a beaver tail! I appreciate how customizable these things are! You can get so many different toppings and even add a scoop of ice cream on top! We did the bananarama which is nutella with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of powered sugar, so freaking delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It smells like heaven when you walk inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a decent size so I shared with my husband. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of this establishment is pretty small and cute inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was super friendly and she was patient and explained the menu and concept to us since we had never been before. It's definitely worth a try if you are craving something sweet.

    3.5 stars If anything give a beaver tail a go around at least once. It's a dessert chain that serves a puff pastry in a shape of a beaver's tail but you can customize yours and they are made to order. So they come out piping hot and fresh! My sister and I shared an apple pie one and it was delicious and the apples were so fresh. It does get messy, so it's nice they have a sink to wash your hands. If it's your first time having a beaver tail you can ring the bell! They also sell poutine and ice cream.

    Order at the counter and wait for your tail.

    Mmmmm. SO Happy I read about this place ahead of staying in Canmore and made the time to get one while I was in town. This is a chain around town (there's one in Banff too). We stopped in for one on a way back from a hike as a post hike treat, and boy was it. Two of us decided to split one, and even though it was super rich and one filled up both of us, I sort of wished we had gotten two just so we could have tried more flavors! Settled on a CocoVanil and it was sooo yummy. They fry up the tail fresh, so it takes a couple of minutes to make, and then they add all the toppings fresh. I had planned on taking it home and waiting a little before eating but it looked so yummy fresh that I just had to dig right in.

    Happened to find on Facebook that they were offering FREE Beavertails 3-5PM for 1 day only. We stopped into the store and they also had the advertisement for free up so it was legit! I thought they would have made 1/2 size ones for the freebies but they were FULL sized. Fresh, crispy dough. Generous cinnamon and sugar sprinkle. Definitely large enough to share as after a full one we all felt pretty greasy. Tastes just like carnival mini donut.  10/10 was happy with the size and service at this location.  We also tried the ice cream. Sadly I can't remember the name but it was vanilla ice cream with chocolate and caramel swirls. Was great. Friend got the Blueberry Bliss and had real cream cheese mini bites.

    Classic beavertail

    Okay, if you're in Canada you've got to try a beavertail pastry, right? Besides it being a nice treat, the name is fun. There's not much to this little stand but I got a classic beavertail with cinnamon and sugar and ate it outside. They have numerous options of toppings but I stayed with the classic. They also had other food items like ice cream, fries and even a beaver dog (hot dog wrapped in dough).

    Canadian specialty. It's a sweet bread with Nutella or whatever you order. I love the bananarama!

The store sign and website states they make fresh, small batch ice cream made from whole food ingredients. I was already sold at that point leading me to go inside and check out their ice cream flavors. I was unsure what I wanted to try out but I knew I wasn't traveling to Canmore to try mainstream so when I found Haskap and Lemon on the menu, I had to try that. For those who are curious, Haskap is a antioxidant rich berry with a taste profile that crosses a blueberry, raspberry, black current and elderberry sans the seeds. Haskap and Lemon was a big hit for me. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It was nice, creamy and who knew that mixing berry and lemon together held a nice balance! If you're able to, I'd encourage you to eat outside. The mountain views are amazing regardless of the time of day.

Upon arrival, we were provided with a liquor menu but not a full food menu, and were directed to order from the happy hour menu. This created a bit of confusion at first, but we made the best of it.

It was well put together, with good variety and satisfying portions--great for a late-night bite. Overall, while the experience wasn't exceptional, it was a decent stop considering the circumstances. It served its purpose and provided a solid option when not much else was available. That said, the bar itself is pretty decent. Carries some ambiance --perhaps a place you'd hang out for a few drinks.
