Torani syrups in Ottawa [General]

2009 Jan 22
Looking for a LOCAL source for Torani syrups here in Ottawa. I would prefer to find a retailer that carries them in stock. I am often looking for different syrups for various cocktails.

I believe I've bought them locally at Second Cup coffee places. Equator in Almonte carries Monin syrups and there are other brands available at the Made in France store in the Market.

I have been to several of the local Second Cups, and they all seem to have very little stock. Makes it very difficult if you are looking for a specific flavour. I am currently looking for Amaretto, Ginger and Plain Sugar syrups. It would be nice to find a retailer that carries a well stocked selection. Otherwise I will just order them online and save the hassle (and carbon footprint) and driving all over town to get them.

A quick followup.

For those looking for Torani Syrups, Morala carries the entire line in stock. So if you are looking for any of the flavours, they have em. They also carry several other brands in stock, their selection is quite impressive.

I was also able to pick up a backflush disk and cleaner for my Rancilio espresso machine as well!

Very nice! Did you notice if they had any of the sugar-free varieties? (from my experience, these are the hardest to come by).

HUH ???

Sugar-Free Sugar Syrups ???

Isn't that like saying beef-free roast beef ?

Yeeesh !!

Hahahaha! I had the same thought as you captain. But there are of course sugar-free "sugars" such as splenda, and whatever that crap is in diet drinks. The name escapes me right now....

I think your thinking of Aspertame.

Does anyone remember Sacchrin (and it causing cancer in Canadian rats) ?

Captain C - The only words in the English language that make less sense than "sugar-free" and "fat free" are ALCOHOL FREE... give me a break... If I wanted a drink without the kick I would have ordered GingerALE or RootBEER.

As for the case to be made for sugar-free products, I'm old enough to remember them all... and I don't trust a one... (the blue packets, the pink packets, the yellow packets, the tablets, the liquids). I think overtime they all have proved to be carnsonagenic to humans (forget the rats).

Bobby the Coffee Guy on Hazeldean in Kanata carries a great selection of Torani Syrups, Maybe not all 150 of them, but he has quite a few.

Thanks Bobby!

Have you checked any of the Nicastros?

Personal Service Coffee on Hazeldean has a lot.

I've seen them at Second Cup.

Morala still has a wall of them, along with Sweetbird. Personal Coffee across from the Shenkman Centre in Orleans used to carry a lot, but I understand may be phasing them out. If you are not stuck on Torani, Marshalls and Winners usually have other brands, often Splenda sweetened - Skinny Syrups, Sebastiano's - for about half the price. Skinny Syrups in particular seems to make cocktail-specific syrups, and even packages smaller bottles in 3s for that purpose.

"Skinny Syrups in particular seems to make cocktail-specific syrups, and even packages smaller bottles in 3s for that purpose."

Hmm, no wonder the smaller sizes. That clears things up.
