    Mary's Popcorn Shop is popular in Canada and you can smell it while walking passed it. Freshly made and flavored popcorn in the store, you can watch the workers work tirelessly throughout the year. I had to give it a try since I love popcorn. I got the Banff mix (white cheddar with classic caramel) and the Chicago style (cheddar cheese with maple syrup pecan). I wanted to try all of the flavors. Both salty and sweet mix. Reminds me of the popcorn in the cans that we used to get during the holidays. Great for travel and they taste somewhat fresh. Worth a visit and try when you're in the area. Service is quick, I went when there was no line and walked out with tons of people in line. It's a small store front only for purchase, not much parking on the Main Street but there are parking garages around. I personally liked getting the mixes because it wasn't too salty or too sweet.

    We were walking around Banff as tourists do and discovered Mary's Popcorn Shop and after some generous sampling offered by the nice and welcoming staff, we left with many many bags of popcorn which were devoured by all. Maple, caramel, cheese... delicious intense flavours. Nothing cheap here.

    Maple popcorn: excellent!

    Excellent maple popcorn, excellent service! Can't wait to come back! I hope they make a hard tin because some needs to come home with me!

    Popcorn smell is a trigger for me. I can be so full I'm ready to pop but as soon as I smell that delicious popcorn smell I crave it so bad and will eat it to the point of discomfort. This is what happened to me when coming across Mary's Popcorn Shop while walking around downtown Banff after a late lunch. I smelled it on the street. I walked by, trying my best to resist, but made it about 5 feet before turning around and getting a small buttery bag to go. I didn't even wait before tearing into that bag. I had no chill. It was so good, so buttery, so delicious. I wish I had gotten a bigger bag (heads up--the smalls are SMALL). I can't speak to any of the other flavors but the plain salt and butter, fresh out of the popper, is bangin'.

    I am so American, my mindset was "When in Canada try anything Maple flavored!".... and that is exactly what I did. They had numerous flavors, and my favorite flavor has always been Chicago (cheddar caramel mix), but I knew I had to try something that's usually not offered where I am from, and the Maple Pecan flavor caught my eye! I asked which flavor they were making in the window too, and they said Salted Caramel. But I went with Maple Pecan anyways and it was delicious! They have small, medium, large sizes you can choose from. They are kinda expensive so I went with a small and it was plenty! The medium was too pricey and big in my eyes. I think the small was like $6-7? The boys tried it and loved the Maple Pecan as well. I would definitely come back just for this flavor! It was tasty!

    Great tasting popcorn that doesn't go stale in 5 mins. Freshly made throughout the day. They really jam it in the bag and for a small bag it's enough to share, depending on what flavour you choose it can be quite rich. I wish the prices were a bit more standard versus the different flavours are a different cost. Go in and try a free sample, you'll want to buy the moment you try.

    We walked into Marys thinking we would get one bag to share and walked out looking like Mary's Popcorn Model! DELICIOUS popcorn! It was a great snack for our drive back to Calgary!

    Love popcorn! They pop fresh popcorn all day! Decent selection - traditional salt and butter, classic caramel corn, maple syrup caramel corn, sea salt caramel corn, cheddar, white cheddar, Chicago (cheddar and classic caramel corn) and chocolate. They offer samples and all are yummy! Good offering on sizes. Get the small as it's more filling than you may think. Such a great treat to walk through downtown Banff

    Warm caramel, almond popcorn was AMAZING!! Only 4 stars because the cheese popcorn was a little bland. "Not very cheesy"

    As we were planning our Canada trip, I wanted to make sure we tried some iconic foods and staples…read morethat are well known here. Beavertails came up and we saw they had shops within Banff, so we decided to try them out after our lunch. They had a flavor called "mEHple" and since maple syrup is also a Canada staple, we figured this would be a good pick. What we didn't notice was the chocolate drizzle that was on top of the maple syrup in the menu photo. The chocolate overwhelmed the entire dessert, and was a bit too much for our group. The pastry was good, crispy and flaky, but we really couldn't get through the entire thing without getting a huge bite of chocolate syrup. I think if they had put less chocolate, or even removed the chocolate altogether and just left the maple syrup, that would've been way better!

    We couldn't miss out on trying this iconic Canadian dessert, so we had to stop by during our…read moredowntown Banff shopping session. Since maple is also something that screams Canada, we opted for the mEHple flavor. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. The pastry itself was good as it was light and flaky but still crispy, and we enjoyed the maple flavor. However, there was so much chocolate drizzled onto it that all we could taste was the overwhelming Hershey's chocolate drizzle-like taste. We didn't notice the chocolate drizzle on the menu photo, although I noticed there are a few different menus floating around, and some show the chocolate drizzle while others don't. However I saw a photo uploaded from a different Yelper of their mEHple pastry, and they had way less chocolate on theirs. I think it had to potential to be delicious, but it's just unfortunate that it was loaded with so much chocolate to the point where we couldn't really taste anything else. There were 6 of us that shared one BeaverTail and yet we couldn't even finish it. Overall, it was cool to try a uniquely Canadian dessert, but would recommend staying away from the ones with chocolate drizzle...or at least asking the staff to go light on the drizzle.
