“ Their beavertsils are super yummy. Tiny little place and always has a big line. The meHple one is super good not too sweet, but the kids loved the hazelnut spread one ”
“ BeaverTails pastries, a true Canadian treat—crispy, golden-fried dough stretched into a tail shape and topped with everything from cinnamon sugar to rich chocolate and hazelnut spread. My nephew had the choco-hazelnut with brownie and niece had apple pie. The chocolate milk pairs perfectly with the pastries—thick, creamy, and just sweet enough to balance the flavors without overwhelming them. The coffee is surprisingly good too, smooth, aromatic, and strong enough to cut through the sweetness of the pastry. It’s the kind of cup that warms you up and keeps you going on a chilly mountain day. Together, this trio makes for a cozy, satisfying snack that feels like a reward after a day of exploring. Can't forget the 2 nice BT staff Cristal and Claudine, both have such a warm and friendly presence, quick service and genuine smile make the whole experience so much better. The pastries and beverages plus the service we received was made even better in a scenic spot like Banff. ”
“ Having never had a BeaverTails before, I stopped in to try one whilst in Banff. I went for a one with Maple Syrup on top - and I am happy to report that it was delicious. It’s like a thin and crispy donut, with delicious toppings - making it a glorious treat. If you’ve not had one before, definitely stop by and try one. I thought they were good value too. ”
“ Forget to take pic for our food because it is so delicoous we just finish it so fast. We order the bananarama and it’s loaded with chocolate hazelnut cream and with banana slices on top, the pastry is fried to perfect very crunchy and inner is soft. We would like to try other item on their menu next time. Very recommend! They have 2 locations in downtown Banff all within walkable distance. ”
“ Service was a little confusing at this location. Beaver yall was great and fresh! They were super crowded when we went! ”
“ Tried beavertail pastry for the first time in Canada. We loved it. We tried half n half of avalanche and apple pie. It was really good. There were so many flavors available. Shop was kind of crowded, but the service was quick. Would definitely recommend trying their pastry for whoever visits Banff downtown. ”
“ This place the bannanaaramaa is amazing and super tasty. They have more flavours such as cheesecake and apple pie We had the browniewowie here and the bananaramaa both were super yummy and especially with topped icecream for an extra 3 is worth it totally! They don’t have indoor dining due to limited space ”
“ Review for BeaverTails The new Pistachi-Oh! flavor is absolutely fantastic! It’s a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The pistachio cream is rich and smooth, the drizzle of hot honey adds a delightful touch of sweetness with a slight kick, and the crushed pistachios give it a satisfying crunch. It’s easily one of the best new additions to the menu and a must-try for any pistachio lover. I’ll definitely be back for more! ”
