I'm so glad I FINALLY got to try Beaver Tails when I came up here. I remember seeing it from an old Cartoon Network show (Anyone else remember "Stoked") and I knew I just had to try it when I finally got up here. I got the Avalanche (Skor,Cheesecake, and Caramel) and I loved that they stretched the dough when we ordered and then start frying it right there. It really ensures that we get freshly fried Beaver Tails at the peak of their deliciousness. After I got mine slathered with the toppings I ordered, I dug in and as expected, it's really hot but SOOOOO good. It's like the concept of a donut only thinner and crispier, thus resulting in a much better texture and crunch throughout which I very much prefer over a donut actually. The cheesecake spread mingling with the sweet caramel, crunchy toffee bits, and crispy hot dough is just such a perfect combination. It's a bit of a mess to eat but sooooo worth it. It really is such a shame that there isn't an establishment like this in NYC because it could seriously do some REALLY good numbers over here I reckon. I HAVE to get this again when I come back up to Canada (unless ya'll want to build a place down across the border haha). read more

BeaverTails was on my Canada itinerary before I even landed. Ordered the Killaloe Sunrise on the cashier's recommendation and walked away a little underwhelmed. It was fine, but it tasted like a grown up, overpriced version of the Cinnamon Crispas I used to get at Taco Bell as a kid in the 80s. Nostalgia is nice, but not at that price point. The saving grace was the view from my table overlooking Lake Ontario, which was genuinely beautiful. Maybe that's what I was really paying for. Either way, I checked the box. read more

The food was an absolute delight, rich in flavor and the perfect dessert. Would recommend having it in the evening as the sugar crash is definitely real. I had the maple beaver tail with vanilla ice cream, which I highly recommend, however there are a plethora of options and combos you can do. The service and ambiance were also great! read more

Apart from the glorious poutine, this was the other Canadian food to try according to my quick non-scientific research. The smells walking into the place were intoxicating and had me salivating. Groups of families and tourists made up most of the guests. I ordered the MehPle, and my friend went with the BrWownie. The wait was about 10 minutes. The cabin-like interior and its open air design helped us cool down with the ocean breeze coming in. The MehPle was incredibly crispy, sweet, and gooey, a hot and oily pastry, and a familiar kind of snack like those found at a county fair. My friend said the BrWownie was also very good with crumbs stuck on her cheeks. All in all, worth a taste. Before we left, I rang a singular sound off their bell. read more

We knew we needed to try a beaver tail while visiting Toronto and were happy to find this location right on the waterfront and without a long line. Three of us shared two which was perfect for a snack. We had the Hazel Amour and Strawberry Cheesecake both of which were delicious! For those like us who haven't had these before, they are like a big flat donut that is a little crispy. It is not, as I had thought, like the US Midwestern elephant ear. At the risk of betraying my region, beaver tails are better! Seating at this location is outside on the waterfront which is lovely. read more

First time in Toronto and this place is a must try. It's not as heavy, perfect snack. Me & my friends tried different kinds so we can try it and you cannot go wrong with any kind you pick Even if its a small place, service is great. Highly recommend to try this place. read more

Tried the maple flavored BeaverTail in Toronto. The pastry was warm and fresh, but it had way too much topping, making it overly sweet. The flavor reminded me of a flatbread churro. The spot feels super touristy, and it would be nice if they offered a vegan-friendly option so more people could enjoy it. read more

Such an iconic place conveniently located near the harborfront. It's obviously a must try when visiting Toronto but the taste was fairly unimpressive. For a fried treat, I was expecting the dough to be much crispier but it ended up being a bit limp. We got the Bananarama flavor (banana with hazelnut spread) and found it a bit too sweet. If you have Asian taste buds like us, would definitely recommend getting the Classic for a slightly less sweet option. read more

This is such a cute place on the water at the Harbour. I absolutely loved the poutine but I have never had it before so not sure how it compares with other establishments. The gravy was delicious and on the lighter side. I really expected the dish to be heavier but I didn't get that disgustingly full feeling. The fries were still a little crispy with the gravy. I don't think the curds gave any extra flavor but it was a decent amount. They have tables outside along the water but it was too cold. The pastries looked good but I didn't try them. read more

Ordering a beaver tail was super quick and easy. With this location being near the water, grabbing one and munching on it by the harbor was super nice. The classic was thin and crispy. Some parts were too thin that it was like a crispy chip. I thought it would be more like a soft pretzel texture... It's an in-between texture between crispiness and medium, thick dough. I guess I expected more out of this for some reason hearing the hubs mention it so much. But then again it's just cinnamon and sugar. It's a gigantic cinnamon twist but in the shape of a beaver's tail. It's still a pretty tasty snack unique to Canada. Give it a try if you haven't had it before. read more

BeaverTails is a Canadian pastry shop in Toronto (that also serves poutine). This location is right by the waterfront with great views. Their pies remind me of the funnel cake/ elephant ear fried dough with delicious toppings like apple pie! It is messy ! I was not a big fan of the lemonade slushy, but would definitely recommend you try the pastries. Staff was incredibly friendly and the food came out quickly and was fresh. #canada #pastry #sweets read more

Beaver tails are amazing! I wouldn't recommend anything with their hazelnut chocolate spread - if you are expecting a Nutella type flavour, it doesn't hit the mark and I'm not a fan. I tried the pistachio one and it was incredible. The fried bread is also just incredible. read more

Service was fast and friendly. Went for some poutine before the Leafs game on a chilly afternoon. The inside was small but charming and it was out of the wind. The poutine was tasty and the cheese melted with the hot gravy. I got full and warm. My previous experience with poutine was in the US and it was so salty I could feel my fingers swelling up. The poutine at BeaverTails was not a sodium filler at all. I'll be back for the pastries, they looked amazing! read more

I don't care if BeaverTails is a tourist spot because I love the Killaloe Sunrise and get it every time I'm in Canada and nearby a BeaverTails store. Killaloe Sunrise is a fried flat dough pastry dusted with cinnamon sugar and a lemon wedge for you to squeeze the juice onto the treat. Essentially it's a big, flat churro. The lemon juice sounds weird, but trust me it works and that's how I eat my churros now. Highly recommended. read more

This morning I attended a Holiday Cheer Event at Beavertails; I was at this location's Grand Opening day in March 2016 when they offered free boat tours of the Inner Harbour (see 2nd pic. below). For the Event there was a choice between 2 comp. Beavertails (The Classic, Hazel Amour) as well as hot chocolate - also comp. - on offer. I chose the latter Beavertail choice and was very pleased; it was warm and fairly crunchy with great flavour. The venue is fairly small with limited seating: one table at the front and a few more in the back; their 2nd floor is not available to Customers. Service was very prompt and friendly and the venue appeared immaculately clean throughout. I thank Beavertails for the generous opportunity to partake in their products during the Holidays. read more

BeaverTails - Banana Nutella Pistachio with Honey - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

BeaverTails, a staple food you have to try when you're in Canada. The bread they use as a base is actually a native Indian fry bread, then they add all kinds of diabetes on top haha. This is the part where it gets fun because it can fast as sweet or simple as you want it to be. They have loads of flavors to choose from. You can even add a variety of Ice cream flavors to them! We have tried the bananarama with and without Ice cream, as well as the avalanche and the triple trip. I happen to love peanut butter so my favorite was the Tripple trip, and my fiancés was the bananarama. He enjoyed his bananarama more with ice cream but he said it's a huge sugar rush so he won't get it with ice cream every single time because it can be a bit too much haha. We both love this place and will return when we come back to Canada read more

I got a classic thin and crispy beaver tail. It was warm and it was neat to sit outside and stare at the water and boats. I like the crispy cinnamon flavor but it doesn't have a lot of substance. It's worth trying if you've never had it before but this isn't a snack I would typically seek out or go out of my way for mainly because I feel like I can eat this thing in 3 bites. None of the extra topping stood out to me to be curious enough to try them. Would I come here again? Sure. The is a pretty good location. read more

Came to try their flight of 6 mini beavertails but was informed that the dough was being prepped and it would take 45 mins. However, she also let us know we can do half-half flavour on 1 beavertail and that is exactly what we did (she also said it would be cheaper than the flight but i guess it depends which flavours you get). We chose half pistachio and half mud pie flavour (a limited time summer special i think). It's been so long since I've had a beavertail and i love how light and airy the dough is. I love pistachio anything but this pistachio flavour was a bit too subtle in my opinion. The mud pie was perfectly sweet with whipped cream and oreo bits. read more

As a visitor to Toronto I wanted to try something local and fun to eat. I had seen a couple of these stands elsewhere so when we went to the nearby aquarium I quickly got in line to try their fried dough speciality. I ordered the "Avalanche" which came with cheesecake spread, Skor candy bar bits, and caramel sauce. I had expected it to be puffy like a fried dough but instead found it was flat, sort of like a donut that got stepped on. While eating it I noticed something was wrong... something was missing. It turns out that every last Skor piece I had on mine was only toffee- there wasn't a single bit of chocolate on it. It was still good, but it didn't match the picture or my expectations. Next time, I will make sure to check that it is correct when it is handed to me. read more

I was walking towards Eaton Center on 06 November 2022 and noticed a few different events happening at Dundas Square. My curiosity took ahold of me and I crossed the street, only to find a few different activities promoting Canada's involvement in the upcoming FIFA World Cup (2022). Amongst the different activities, there was a BeaverTails pop-up shop, which was giving away FREE beavertails -- however many you wanted. Feeling slightly peckish, I ended up getting their banana chocolate beavertail as it was a flavour I hadn't tried before. The dough was nicely fried, having the crispy but chewy texture to it, and the bananas seemed quite fresh. As you may note from the picture, given that they were giving away free beavertails, it was a slightly smaller size than the regular beavertails. I didn't mind this at all, though! read more

first time in toronto and had to try a beaver tail!!! the service and ambiance here was amazing! even though, we came on a busy day, the staff was so nice! i wish there was more seating inside tho since there was only three tables inside so we had to wait a little before sitting. but the wait was worth it bc the view was the beautiful pier outside i got the bananarama - chocolate hazelnut spread with banana - it was delicious with some hot chocolate! the bread was nice and crispy which paired well with the sweet chocolate spread. honestly can't go wrong with the bananarama (unless you don't like banana lol) a perfect cozy lunch after walking around in the windy cold in downtown toronto. i saw that they had a lemonade float and a savory beaver tail with poutine!! maybe our next order next time we visit hehe read more

Yum yum yum, how else do I describe. There's a reason this is such a popular place in Toronto and I wasn't surprised to know why. Their desserts and pastries are too good.

I actually brought it all the way to New York to share it with my partner. It was that yummy. Must must try!! Their service was great too. read more

This is called beavertail because the dough part shapes like a beaver tail. It's basically just fried dough with toppings. I love fried dough stuff so I like it; but if I go next time, I will ask them to put less toppings so it's not too sweet. Also the wrapper of this kinda makes it hard to eat, esp for people who don't like touching food like me read more

Beaver Tails is a must visit place when visiting Toronto! This is located in a prime location right at the docks on harbour front. The rear faces Lake Ontario & CN tower views at the front. The line ups can be intimidating but the service is quick. Grab a seat at the bench or lounge chairs & enjoy the views while indulging in these warm doughy pastries. Nutella Banana Tail: it was rich, a little too much. There was so much Nutella plopped on, as if I was eating spoons full of it. Couldn't finish it unfortunately. Next time I'll stick to the original. read more
