Maple Station

Canadian maple syrup is a staple across the country, but there is a unique way to experience this Canadian flavour right here in Canmore. The Maple Station is an exploration of all things maple. It all started when the Pomerleau family moved to Canmore and brought their recipe for maple caramel mini cones. Everyone loved them! From there, the seeds of an idea began to form. Starting with the famous maple caramel mini cones, The Maple Station expanded with a menu that offers maple delights such as soft serve ice cream, cotton candy, coffees, teas, and waffles. There are always new products being added, so make sure to come back and taste every new delight.

BLAKE

There’s only one place that offers a brewery, distillery, and restaurant under one roof. BLAKE Brewhouse & Distillery serves creative international fusion cuisine alongside rotating flavours of craft beer that flows straight from the brewery to the taps. If a good spirit is more your style, try a double barrel negroni, a London dry gin, or a chipotle vodka, also brewed onsite and designed to complement the menu. It all takes place in a unique setting of a modern industrial converted car garage turned restaurant.
