The Maple Delights- Delices Érable & Cie

Great customer service. They obviously know there maple. The maple iced tea with amber syrup is phenomenal, not on the menu though.

All the maple goodies that you can possibly imagine and all of a high quality. I satiated my maple sugar cravings in every way possible – the gelato way, the fudge way, the standard maple leaf-​shaped candy way, the maple butter way, the maple infused black tea way, etc. While I’d already tried maple caffe latte elsewhere I imagine that they make an excellent one here and will be on my to-​eat list next time I come to Montréal.
Great store if you’re a tourist from out of town who needs to stock up on maple sugar products before returning to your non-​maple sugar-​producing country.
The staff is friendly and helpful. There is also a nice seating area where you can sit down and indulge!

Great vegan sorbet. The maple with almond milk was unreal. Awesome concept with so many different types of maple varieties. Also vegan friendly. The tasting was the best.

A shop dedicated to maple syrup. It was a good setup. As you can expect, most, if not all, were desserts. As I hadn’t eaten dinner yet, decided to get a maple latte. Was just over priced coffee where you use maple syrup instead of sugar. Thought it would have been something different, but it wasn’t. Nothing special.

Got my fix of sorbet here and I must day it was good, not really what I expect from a sorbet though.
Kind of. Creamy? Almost like Gelato. But still good though. Tasted the strawberry, mango and lemon sorbet, lemon was the best!

Eh. I was underwhelmed. About the best thing I can say is that they had a semi-​clean restroom (only one that day; the second was out of order).
I wanted to go because there was a site that said this location had a «Maple Museum». I do so love museums. But when we got there, it was so uninspired. They had information on the walls, sure, and some pieces of equipment specific to the maple trade, but it seemed to fall well short of «museum» status.
So, the «museum» (and the restroom) is downstairs. Upstairs, you have the shop, which will sell you all things maple — from souvenirs to gelato to drinks. Neither of us had ever had real maple syrup before, so we were eager to sample the true maple wares. We stood in the long line snaking around the store in order to get a couple of gelatos and cookies (because we had to have a decent sampling, right?) before escaping the crush of people upstairs to snag a small, dirty table downstairs.
I’m sure this is my Americanized-​palate speaking, but I wasn’t a fan of the gelato. I’m glad I only got one scoop. It wasn’t that it wasn’t very sweet (which I was okay with, to be honest). No, to me, at least, there was an off-​taste that I wasn’t fond of. I didn’t want to say anything to my husband, because I didn’t want to complain about something that I had been so gung-​ho about, but he asked me what I thought, and I wasn’t about to lie to him.
He actually agreed, which makes me think that it IS the fact that we’re used to the fake stuff that threw us.
We didn’t eat the cookies at that point — we were both full from lunch and the gelato — but we did eat them later that day, and again, that off-​flavor that neither of us can put our finger on was present in the cookies, as well.
So, is it fair to give such a low rating based on my dislike of the food? Maybe not, but let me also say this: the employees were not friendly that day. Yes, they were busy, but I don’t think that gives servers free reign to be flat-​out nasty to customers. Further, the downstairs «museum”/eating area had a general grunge to it that made me wonder when it was last cleaned, and the bathroom needed some real attention.
It was an experience, yes, but not one that either of us wanted to repeat during our time in Montréal.

This place is maple-​amazing!
My husband and I popped in here without realising it was a maple mecca — we were just in need of some iced tea/​coffee. Once I got to the counter I saw that they had maple iced tea and maple iced coffee, so I ordered one of each. It was soooo good! Seriously all iced tea should be maple-​a-​fied!
One of my colleagues asked me to bring back some maple syrup cookies from Canada… so a few days later I came back to buy some of those as well. This shop did not disappoint! I bought a couple of large boxes of maple cream cookies… and so the main noise in my office at this very moment is «oishiiiiiiii» (yum!) as my Japanese colleagues munch there way through them! They go REALLY well with tea.
We also bought some maple syrup (how could we not!?) and tried a couple of the maple gelato ice-​creams. It is all great. Good work Canada. Good work.
* They also have a store in Montréal airport after you make it through security… so don’t worry if you leave your cookie-​purchases to the last second.

So many free maple samples! This was a really fun place to visit. Everything was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the museum downstairs was neat and educational.

For gelato, I wouldn’t recommend it. It seems like more of a place for maple type products for cooking, gifts and sweets. It’s in the heart of Old Montréal so there’s a lot of buzz and tourism all around.

We randomly came across maple delights when we were walking around old Montréal. I was excited to find a shop that specializes in maple because I love maple. And I was dying to try some authentic Canadian maple. We were there pretty early so they had not put up their ice cream flavors yet but an employee told me they are all made with maple sugar. They had a large display of muffins, cookies and other baked goods all dipped in maple. They also had a sample station and they let you try stuff like maple butter. We settled on buying a maple crumb muffin. It was delicious and very maple-​y. I would love to go back on another trip to Montréal and try their maple ice creams.

I’ll admit it: I didn’t want to fall for this obvious tourist trap. But I’m so glad I did. Even if you don’t like maple overload, come here. It’ll change your mind.
A small store in Vieux Montréal, Maple Delights has absolutely all things maple, from maple oil to maple gelato and ice cream, to alcoholic maple coffee, to maple butter… essentially anything your heart desires, you can put maple in front of the word and it’ll most likely be sold here. The workers here are friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable.
One one side of the store, you can ask for countless samples of gelato. I’d recommend anything that has «maple» in it, obviously, but the coffee maple combination was my favorite. On the other side, there’s a worker explaining all the different maple products the store sells. Head downstairs for a small informational but not terribly exciting tour of the history of maple syrup.
Back upstairs, I ordered a small maple cappuccino. The coffee itself was standard and nothing mind-​blowing, but the foam impressed me. The best part, though? The maple syrup mixed into the coffee and the maple sprinkles topping the drink. If I could come back to Canada and order this again, I definitely would. I’d also buy out the entire store while I’m at it. Give into the tourist trap. No regrets.

I don’t really care much for maple, but I’m a sucker in trying new things specially plant base. There was maple items all over the shops in this area, this store had the most offering. They also had a section where they allowed you to sample many different variety. On the ground floor there is a small seating area, and a mini museum on maple downstairs where they have more seating. I purchased a maple muffin from them, it tasted like it had been marinated in maple syrup. The servers were very friendly and knowledgable on their products.

This place was probably one of the highlights of my Canada trip. A cute little spot in Montréal, Maple Delights features some incredible products and an incredible mini tour you can have downstairs with a store employee who can take you through a maple syrup testing exercise and then lead you upstairs to browse the store.
I tried one of the cookies and some of the chocolate pieces, and everything was to DIE for. I wish I could have bought 100 things, and I wanted to make time later in the week to come back for more treats but I couldn’t fit it into my schedule.
This place is an absolute GEM– please, please do yourself a favor and stop by. The gelato is fantastic, as are the pastries/​cookies and other small treats. Don’t forget to try the frozen maple syrup sticks, and ask tons of questions while you’re there!

Every time I’m in the old port, I stop here to treat myself. I’m not much of a regular ice cream or gelato eater, but I can’t resist the goods here! EVERYTHING is sweetened purely with maple syrup, the most delicious and nourishing sugar a body can consume (tree blood with tree vitamins, peeps!). So, I check my guilt at the door and indulge. Many options for cones, too — including my favourite waffle cones. Last time I was in, I got the maple cookie and maple chunk gelato, and my partner got the maple and nutella mix — gotta say, I’m going for the maple nutella gelato next time! So good. The place is a tad touristy, like you’d expect in Old Montréal, but you’re just there for the treats and then on your way back out to hit more cobblestone, cone in hand. Makes the gawking and browsing more special!

All things maple!
Maple desserts (cookies, tarts, macarons, gelato, drinks, etc.), plus maple products including syrup (of course!), butter, dressings, and even body cream, scrubs, etc.
The first thing I did was check the desserts… and we were kindly greeted by a server named Val. She quickly realized it was our first time at the store, so she showed us to a table filled with maple products.
This is definitely one of those ‘touristy things’ that some might avoid, but my boyfriend and I enjoyed our visit. Val was very knowledgeable as she taught us about the production of maple syrup. Little did we know… maple sap is collected at different times throughout the season, which results in different colours and tastes of the syrup. We got to sample each of the four syrups they offer (for free!), and any other products we wanted to try. It was very interesting, especially the variety of products they offer. (They even make maple-​flavoured cotton candy!) I walked out of there with a jar of Maple Spread and the Classic Maple Dressing. Mmm… =9
I returned to the desserts and there, Val offered us a small sample of Maple Taffy on crushed ice, and I also ordered a scoop of Maple Nutella gelato. We enjoyed our treats downstairs where there is a small, but very informative museum all about maple.
If you love maple (or all things sweet) and/​or if you love to cook, you’ll enjoy a visit to Maple Delights.

I you like maple, you have to come here. I don’t think there is a maple product they don’t carry!
They offer maple syrup/​maple product tastings which was simply delicious and a great way to let you sample the various things they sell.
Of all the things we bought here, the maple butter is among my favorite. I will be seriously sad once my jar is empty. The maple chunks and sugar are a hit too. I made cookies with both once we got home and the maple flavor in them is just delicious. The chunks add a nice texture on top of pancakes and toast too.
Their maple latte was also so good that we had to come back 3 times during our vacation to enjoy one.

If you are in Montréal you HAVE to stop by this adorable café. I walked into this place to get a maple latte, little did I know they have maple flavored everything in here, and I mean everything, from maple gelato to maple body scrub items. Best place to get souvenirs! I ended up leaving with my delicious latte and a bag full of maple flavored items. We were able to leave the store then we found out they have a small free maple museum downstairs, so obviously we had to check it out and get educated on all things maple. The place is pretty small and gets very crowded, but stick around because it is fun. Oh did I mention they have free maple tastings? They even sell a type of maple syrup that’s illegal in the US, so pretty exciting!

Maple overload. Very helpful staff, gave out some samples explaining the differences between maples flavors depending on when they’re collected. There’s a small «museum» downstairs if you’re interested in more maple related facts.
We got the maple gelato and maple grand marnier cappuccino. The gelato wasn’t all that but the cappuccino hit the spot after a day of walking around old Montréal.

J’adore cette place qui fait honneur au Quebec et l’Erable .J’aime surtout les préparation glacée à l’érable.Un vrai délice quand il fait chaud!

Dessert before dinner? Oui Oui!
I’m glad I stumbled upon this little gem before leaving Old Montréal. They have plenty of gelato flavors to choose from. I went with the Maple syrup and nutella and it was delicious!
They also sell maple syrup and other frozen desserts.
There is a downstairs level that sells the same thing, with an entrance towards the pier.
Free wifi and nice little seating area outside so you can chill and people watch!

The service is very friendly and they have a good selection of things to taste and buy. It is a bit overhyped in the tourist guides. I find more tings in a proper sugar shack/​house at a much reduced price… but, this is Old Montréal and many folks will not get out and go to the sugar houses while they are open.
So for the good stuff, Sugar on Snow (maple syrup poured over ice) until it reached taffy like consistency is fantastic. Maple cream (vanilla soft serve flavored with maple syrup) is also very good. Then there is the pastries that are either made with or glazed with maple syrup. We had several at our table and sampled them all. Fantastic.

Definitivement la meilleurs place à aller pour les passionnés d’erable. Le staff est tellement gentil, ce feront un plaisir de vous faire des dégustations. Je conseil tout honnêtement! Aussi un excellent endroit pour des idées cadeaux. Bouteille d’érable grand marnier très abordables. Un incontournable.

Dans ma tête, j’ai toujours perçu se magasin comme étant un trappe touristique. Ayant grandi avec du sirop d’érable comme un condiment de base, j’avais l’impression que c’était un peu un moyen de faire payer les visiteurs un peu trop cher pour des produits à l’érable. Tout ça a changé quand j’y suis allée pour la crème glacée à l’érable. Et le latte à l’érable aussi. Mmm… mmm…mmm! Ils ont aussi des produits de beauté à l’érable qui ont l’air intéressant mais j’ai peur de les manger si je m’en achète! Petit trucs pour ceux qui cherchent une salle de bain publique. Il y en a au sous-​sol où vous devriez aussi prendre le temps de jeter un coup d’œil au Musée de l’érable. Oui, oui! Il y a un musée dans cette boutique!

Pourquoi c’est si bon cet endroit? Est-​ce que c’est une attrape touriste? Oui mmaiiss! C’est vraiment bien, avec, manifestemment un inconditionnel amour des produits de l’Érable, cet endroit nous délivre la marchandise avec de très bonne crème glacée à l’Érable et autre. J’adore les produits de l’érable et j’ai été content pour moins de 3 – 4 $ d’avoir un cornet en ce chaud Samedi, revenant d’une expo plutôt décevante du Centre des Sciences de Montréal. Les Délices de l’Érable est effectivement une attrape touriste avec son lot de cossins à l’érable que chaque touriste se plaie à manger et qui coûte un peu trop cher. Donc ce n’est pas parfait mais tout de même un endroit très bien qui selon ma théorie du vieux port de montréal, s’est grandement adapté aux locaux: Moins cher qu’avant avec de très bons choix moins attrape touriste.
I really like Délice des Érables as en Ensemble of great Maple product. I went there Saturday to get a very good maple and mapple butter ice cream cone for less than 3 – 4 $. Pretty decent. Service is quick, the product are amazing and they do offer some non-​maple ice cream. They also have great variety of maple sweet and viennoiseries. Pretty good place for the morning coffee and also a little bit of a tourist trap but just enough not to be annoyed by it as a local. Nice place to stop in a hot day as you’ll be in the debt Old Port of Montréal without having to venture much far on the outside section of it.

Ohh… Les délices de l’érable… C’est un indispensable… Ça vient toucher une corde sensible… L’on trouve plusieurs boutiques dans le Vieux-​Montréal où les produits de l’érable sont en vente. Mais, à ce que je sache, il n’y a rien, mais vraiment rien qui né surpasse ce bistro-​musée entièrement dédié au meilleur de ce qui se fait en terme de sirop pur… et biologique…
J’aime mon café noir et sans sucre, et ça m’a pris du temps à me décider avant d’essayer un americano à l’érable, car évidemment, l’on en rajoute dans toutes les sortes de café (si l’on le désir, évidemment). Mais au bout du compte, je trouve ça trop sucré. C’était comme si je venais d’échapper le sucrier; vous savez, quand ça né goûte même plus le café… En fait, je n’aurais peut-​être pas dû rajouter en surplus un bonbon à l’érable (qu’on donne en dégustation). C’est ma faute… Mais enfin, le sirop est excellent, oui, mais je le préfère quand même en dehors de ma tasse… En revanche, l’amandine fourrée au beurre d’érable est tout simplement délectable. Il faut la prendre réchauffée au four… On peut sinon choisir entre quelques aguichantes sucreries et viennoiseries: mousse, tartes, sorbets, gelatos, etc…
Le bistro a une section cadeau où sont disponibles plusieurs produits de l’érable à emporter tels des bonbons au beurre (sève malaxée), des biscuits, du café aromatisé au sucre d’érable, du thé vert (!), ainsi que plusieurs sortes de sirops traditionnels (clair, ambré, foncé) et aromatisés (Grand Marnier, rhum, bleuets, canneberges)…
Le musée historique est à l’étage d’en dessous (gratuit) et se veut nous instruire sur la production de l’érable; de la cueillette jusque dans l’assiette…
–À né pas manquer: De la tire sur neige est offerte à longueur d’année au comptoir!.. On est loin du sirop de poteau!..
