This kiosk provides freshly made "beaver tails" pastry dessert with variety toppings. Very tasty. Worth a visit We did not enjoyed both the apple pie and hazelnut ones

If you have a big sweet tooth or just want to satisfy your dessert craving, you got to try a beavertails pastry! Huge portions! Superrrrr sweet! And will leave you full! I love how many options there are, and you can definitely get one to share with over 3 people. Highly recommend

Ordered the triple trip, Love these sweet pastries. Have tried 3 flavours and so far, all are really yummy. They’re served fresh and hot & make a really good dessert! Would love to try the ice creams one day. Staff were really friendly too!

We got the Pouttail and wow - let me just say that we were not prepared for it to be SO good. The gravy was hot, the fries were crispy, and the cheese curds just melted as soon as they hit your mouth. This hit the spot on a chilly evening in Banff. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite things to get in Banff, a beaver tail is flattened fried donut bread with plain cinnamon or dessert toppings. I think it has the flavor of a Chinese long donut. Today I got the Hazel Amour, and this location is plenty generous with the hazelnut spread, it was served almost immediately and the staff even sped up my order by just asking what I wanted when the couple ahead were indecisive. No seating inside but plenty of options for that outside. Price is such a deal around 7. My little relatives loved their frozen lemonades too.

Our friends told us we had to try a beavertail pastry while in Banff—though they couldn’t remember the name or location (helpful). Turns out, it’s literally called BeaverTails, a Canadian chain known for flat, deep-fried pastries shaped like a beaver tail. We planned to get two for breakfast, but after seeing the size, we shared one: the Maple Glazed with maple candy flakes. It came out piping hot in a loose wrapper—definitely not walk-and-eat food—so we found a bench and dug in. Sweet, crispy, warm, and indulgent. Not life-changing, but pretty darn good and worth stopping by if you're wandering around Banff.

We tried the honey pistachio and nutella banana. Both were good especially the banana one. When they first came out, hot and crunchy, it was literally melting in my mouth, really amazing!

Had a great experience here! It’s a must buy every time we visit banff and my go to is always the avalanche but this time the service was above and beyond! Thanks Yib (I’m not sure if the spelling’s right)! Keep up being awesome!
