If you're needing something to handle the pastry & chocolate/sweet urge this is a good option. 1 is enough for 1 person but it's also rich & can be shared if needed.

Beavertails seem to be a Canadian thing - since I'm an out of towner, I wanted to try. According to Google: a beavertail is'a Canadian pastry, specifically a flat, fried dough treat shaped like a beaver's tail, & is often topped with various sweet toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate, or fruit. It's a popular Canadian dessert, especially in Ontario & Quebec.'

I got the pistachio nord, which they were advertising. It's pistachio cream drizzled over the chocolate beavertail. It was pretty sweet, but it was also very tasty.

I visited during summer, & it was so hot inside. There was little to no AC. The line seems long, but it goes by pretty quickly. The inside is pretty with some seating.

My first ever beaver tails. The dough/pastry part had such good flavor to it, which shows the care they put into every part. The toppings were appropriately rich & sweet. The chocolate chaud was top notch. I'm honestly making this comment so in the future, when I come back to montreal, I can have another one.

Very good but too fat sweet food. It deserves a visit though. Cookies, pastries & chocolate cremes are all good. The staff is also good.
