| - 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.
