| - 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 Montreal, 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.
