There is nothing better than a beaver tail, they’re a MUST when visiting Byward Market! The staff were very friendly and quick to serve us our treats. They have many flavours to choose from (there was a banana Nutella, I think!) but I always go with “the classic” cinnamon sugar, it’s so delicious and a perfect warm treat in the winter.
A visit to this Beavertails location is a must when in Ottawa.
Many flavors to choose from. I personally like the classic. Warm, sweet & just the right amount of cinnamon brings joy when ever I indulge in this Canadian staple dessert.
The line ups might be long but the service is quick at this location.
Other notable items: the hot applied cider and hot chocolate are also delicious.
The brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon beaver tail is just delicious. I always fear before getting a beavertail that it will be too heavy and am always pleasantly surprised. It feels like a Canadian staple at this point. The Ottawa locations always have excellent quality. Definitely recommend for tourists.
Best beavertails in all Canada. This is the only one that has them with cheese only!! Long line but worth it.
Our fave is the cinnamon and lemon! And cheese tops them all!
Got a chance to visit this location at the Byward market in Ottawa. This was my first time trying a BeaverTail. Had the opportunity to try ‘Avalanche’ and ‘Brwownie’ . It was just amazing. I personally recommend the Avalanche. This is a must try. Cheers!
First time in Ottawa and I had to have a Beaver Tail at the Byward Market. I had the avalanche, cheese cake with Skor chocolate. Was messy but delicious.
I had to remove one star as there was absolutely no coordination when they were handing out the Beaver Tails after ordering.
I saw people waiting for 10 mins for their pastry only to have someone that just ordered the same thing snatch their order. Perhaps taking names may help ease the frustration I saw during busy times like a Saturday night. Also put them in a box before handing them out to customers....especially during Covid. I had to ask for a box and napkins.
Also...my fiance who grew up in Ottawa said they seemed to be getting smaller.
Still a tasty Canadian treat.....
As always, this place never fails to impress me. Irresistibly delicious, artisanal Canadian pastry. Can you even believe it started in 1978. This location also is just outside Rideau centre in Byward Market. My personal favourite is Avalanche followed by Coco Vanil
It was National Beavertails Day, where you get a free classic beavertail from 3-5 pm, which I didn’t even realize. It was so busy when I was there at noon, I can’t imagine how busy it will be at 3. The staff was very friendly and were working at top speed to get beavertails to a huge group of kids. Even though there was a line, I had to stop and get a Killaloe Sunrise because I remembered how much I enjoyed the one I had when skating on the Rideau Canal in 2019. It was as good as I remembered!
