Beavertails - Halifax

Great location on the very touristy waterfront boardwalk. Reasonably friendly and busy, hard working staff. Our first visit to one of these and didn 't know what to expect. Purchased a maple variety with one scoop of ice cream which promptly appeared about 2 minutes later. The 'tail ' was less doughy and more crispy crunchy than we expected (a GOOD thing). Also super hot (quickly melted most of the ice cream) and incredibly messy to eat. You really have to eat with your hands and sadly they didn 't have any hand sanitizer cleaner. Also, they provided napkins in the box.... which they then put the 'tail ' and pastry on top of, so they were soaked and a mess. Luckily the public bathrooms are nearby for washing your hands and paper towels. We actually both enjoyed this more than we thought and found it very tasty, but not sure if it is worth the pricey $8USD we paid (perhaps the boardwalk location is more expensive). Overall a fun tourist treat.

It’s a dessert place targeted to tourists but you have to try it. Lots of options and they’ll even cut them in half of you ask. I can finally say I’ve had one.

Visited this area on a cruise. The beavertail is an elephant ear meets donut. We had the traditional with cinnamon sugar.

I ordered the one with bananas and chocolate,it was quite good but I prefer the Beaver tails at Ottawa.
