I've found a brand called "La Bona Vita" for syrups, although they only have vanilla flavour in the Splenda sweetened one. I find it with the coffee in my grocery store (specifically Thrifty Foods - now Sobeys).

Starbucks carries "their own" rebranded SF syrups; some shops have more than others.

La Bona Vita (Vanilla only) in most grocery stores, in the coffee aisle, usually on the top shelf.

Torani, many *other* coffee shops carrie this one in a variety of SF flavours -- I can get them locally, still considering starting to stock those instead of the DaVinci, since it's hard to get now (used to get them out of WA, across the border - paperwork is horrendous now).

Vancouverites, JJ Beans is still the official distributor for DaVinci and carries most of the SF flavours last time I checked. Call ahead, they might even do mixed cases now, who knows.

Fortino's sells Da Vinci syrups, in a limited number of flavours. They're where they sell the coffee beans.

There's a really nice little LC store in Toronto called the Low Carb Grocery They always have lot's of SF DaVinci syrups in stock.

I know you don't want to order online but they do that also. Their customer service is excellent, everything is always very well-packaged and they offer free shipping for any order over $100. If you can actually make it to the store they have the world's best LC cheesecake. And no, I don't work for them.

i went down to the states and they have TONS of davinici syrups! lowcarbjo you're on the west coast (i assume BC like me), if you're close to the boarder, go down the I5 into bellingham, washington and go to "cash and carry" (google it, it's not hard to find.. the store looks kinda "scary" on the outside, but it's good inside!) it's kind of like costco but no membership is required. they have a WALL of syrups. i have the french vanilla and pancake ones, and i think they were about $4 US each. totally worth the trip!

In Calgary there are ~40 flavours at the Diabetic Depot. But I can't stand the sickly sweet aftertaste of Splenda.

Yeah, I am in BC . There's a cash & carry in Chilliwack and they carry loads of davinci flavors... I forgot all about that as I no longer live out that way, lol.

PS... I just googled it and there is one in Surrey, have you been to it? Here's the addy

Homesense/Winners has them sometimes, kind of a hit or miss thing and it's not generally the DaVinci brand, but a knock off though they are still good.

I don't recommend the Vanilla Macadamia Nut though. I like vanilla & macadamia nuts but the syrup isn't so good.

I couldn't find cash n carry either - but I'm not in Surrey and dont' have a car so I didn't try driving to the location. I did find Torani syrup at Winner tho. And I really like Starbucks SF caramel syrup...
