Being a typical tourist, I walked in here because I wanted to buy some maple syrup for the folks back at home. I came here with family after eating a huge dinner but couldn't refuse the gelato selection that was being displayed. It wasn't just ANY gelato, it was gelato made with maple syrup! How delicious does that sound??
I got the chocolate hazelnut gelato that was just the best gelato I have ever had. They had a large array of other flavors to choose from that I hope to try one day when I find my way back to Vancouver.
Other than the gelato, they sell different types of maple syrup in different bottles and in different forms. All of the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about maple syrup and will help you out as much as they can. They let me try all the maple syrups they had and the maple butters. They don't try to sell you things you don't want either. I was very impressed with their customer service and their products!
There is no dessert that Vancouver sells more of than gelato and this place is place to get it. -

Canadian Maple Delights is the place to stop by and buy all your Maple syrup gifts. We purchased a few bottles to take back the US for neighbors and friends. Canadian Maple Delights allows you to try all the syrups, rum, etc in the store before you purchase. Canadian Maple Delights is also a coffee and ice-cream shop. Canadian Maple Delights is located in the Gastown district of Vancouver and one block away from the steam clock. Glad we found Canadian Maple Delights. Tomorrow I plan on trying the maple syrup on my pancakes. Yummy!! I cannot wait. Do not forget to try the maple syrup cookies. I missed out. The flight attendant gave me one on the flight home.

I remember Reena talk about Maple Lattes so I hope she's had a chance to check this place out! .. located in Gas Town just a few shops over from Steamworks, this is a little coffee shot that specializes in maple syrups... and GELATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who knew :)
I have been wanting to try their Maple Lattes for a while so I took a pass on the ice cream / milk shake options. With real maple syrup that is used in their lattes, you get this nice hint in your latte, not over powering, just a nice sweetness, and authenticness... I was scared that it was going to be way too sweet but I was wrong.
In the back they even sell maple syrup soaps.. I've never heard of that before. there are some baked goods on their pastry case - the maple syrup and chocolate croissant looks like a sugar bomb! and their maple syrup and shortbread cookies look very tempting!
There are a few small tables and chairs for mingling and conversation - good lighting and atmosphere. -

This place is like a joke that grows on you. Well, because it is a joke- a store of nothing but maple stuff? Wow! This is the epitome of Canada.
However, maple is good- damn good. Have you tried the frozen maple deliciousness? You should! I'm staying away from it during the winter, but on the first warm day I'm lining up for some gelato. Yum. -

This shop is a bit on the touristy side for my normal taste, but I stopped by while celebrating the departure of a friend from Vancouver. I was totally surprised by the kind welcome we received from the staff as we were a loud group obviously there mostly to browse. We were offered samples of maple syrup, butter, and mustard. The mustard was quite surprisingly delicious! I was also intrigued by the maple based rubs for chicken, beef , and fish. We picked up a few sweet maple goodies for the road and headed out, but I will definitely put this little shop on my list of places to visit with guests or shop for 'Canadian' gifts for my American family.

the sweetest group of people work here. just browsing, and they were about to close up shop, but they still gave me a 10-min rundown of their maple syrups, dressings, ice creams, how we can order online and ship to sf, etc...
that ice cream... dude...
i bought a maple candle as a souvenir for someone i know. he/she likes to light candles in the bathroom. imagine dropping a deuce but smelling pancakes instead, priceless... 8D -

Canadian Maple Delights is your one stop shop for all things maple. They've got maple syrup, maple candy, maple sugar, maple butter, maple soaps, maple vinegar, maple mustard, maple tea, and the list goes on. In addition to the maple items, Canadian Maple Delights also sells gelato and coffee and there's a seating area in store too.

"Maple syrup, eh?" said my annoying Australian friend mockingly as I pushed him through the doors of this Canadian wonderland. Having gone on relentlessly for months about Canada's obsession with maple syrup ("Moose? Bet you lot eat that with maple syrup, eh?"), he (my annoying Australian friend) couldn't help but visit Canadian Maple Delights in hopes of broadening his maple lexicon to create more stupid jokes. Standing there, amongst the maple syrup, maple candy, maple ice cream, maple sugar, maple butter and maple-themed toys, he was in a right state. I could see the cogs turning in his head as he digested the entire spectrum of all things maple. I, on the other hand, stood there with my maple ice cream, preparing myself for the slew of bad maple-related jokes that would undoubtedly be thrown my way in the coming hours.

Oh my Maple! Yes, it's a maple store filled with sugary maple lollipops, candies, syrups, jams, fudge, chocolate and toffee -- need I go on? They also have soaps, vinegar, mustard and maple tea which I bought for my aunt the last year she visited and she absolutely loved it. My all time must have item is the salmon maple nuggets and the maple ice cream. Oh my gosh...I am so mapled-out I can't even talk about maple syrup. But the decorative bottles are pretty to look at.

cute atmosphere in a great water street location. try the maple delight gelato. sweet but not too much and just enough hint of maple to get the canadian maple experience.
