Where to buy Cherry Coke in Canada
73Cherry Coke is an awesome drink by Coca Cola. However, they stopped selling it in Canada years ago. You'll have to be a little crafty if you want to buy some. Why did they stop selling it? It's apparently too sweet for the average canadian's tastes. There are quite a few other similar sodas you won't be able to buy or even find in canada. Varieties of Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew are other pops that don't make it to our side of the border. They are also usually made with a different type of sugar (high fructose corn syrup) that is not as healthy for you as our canadian sodas. Not that sugar is healthy overall, but that corn syrup is a big factor in american obesity. Most canadian sodas like coke are made here from their syrup using cane sugar instead.
The Easy Way
Do you live near a border somewhere? Cherry Coke is a popular item in the USA, and you can always pop over the border to buy some soda. Practically every walmart should carry it, as well as other supermarket chains.
However, there's one thing to be aware of if you want to buy pop this way. Cans and bottles are much more expensive to buy in the USA than they are in Canada. Most states will require you to pay a deposit on them. You'll get it back when you bring them to an authorized bottling turn in place, many supermarkets there do it. This will typically add between 5 to 20 cents per item. It adds up a lot, especially on the cans if you go through a lot of them! Save up your cherry coke bottles to take them back the next time you leave Canada.
The Hard Way
You can always make your own through contacting the local bottler and asking to purchase syrup (you'll need to wrangle out a good explanation! most people won't be able to do that) or asking for a special order. Chances are they might be able to help you if you're willing to spend enough money on cherry coke. There's also similar flavored syrup/sodas sold by other companies that'll keep you from wondering where to buy cherry coke if you aren't loyal to the cola brand.
Some little stores also import small quantities of this and other things you can typically only find in the USA and other countries, like Trix. Have a trucker friend? Ask them to help you out. There's also speciality import stores and supermarket chains you can order from online that will deliver the product you bought directly to your door. Good luck if you want to buy Cherry Coke in Canada!

I was in Mississauga, Ontario and I found a small store in the Square One (the mall) food court that is selling cherry coke. Maybe it is coming back.
@steve Which store was that exactly?
Hey Bill, it was at the small tobaco (smoke) store right beside taco bell in the food court. However I went back a few days later and there weren't any left :( . Anyways I also found a website called dr.soda who will send you packs of cherry coke from the US, check out the site http://www.drsoda.com/cherrycoke.html
Hey Steve, I checked out that site before but there are custom fees that need to be paid when importing to Canada. That's not what I want. I want a local way of obtaining the goods. Thanks for the heads up though! If you see it again in the store, tell me because I'll head on over. It's only about 30 mins drive!
Hey Bill, I was there yesterday and they had some again but I bought some and there were only 3 left after me. My sister who works at yonge and eglinton, also said there is a store that sells cherry coke there. And I live near Fairview Mall (north York) and there is an IGA or foodland (cant remember)plaza close by, and the convenient store in that plaza sells Cherry Coke and I was talking to the owner and he says he specially orders it from the USA.
I should mention that whenever I find them they are the 600ml bottles not the big 2L bottles
Hey Steve, thanks a lot for all your help! I will visit that convenience store near Fairview Mall sometime and I was wondering which plaza you were referring to? Do you have its nearest intersection? Thanks.
Hey Bill, the nearest intersection is don mills and Sheppard, the actual street its on is Parkway Forest Drive (or it might be the street over called Forest Manor rd) and the street is literally adjecent to Fairview Mall. The actual store is near the subway in the plaza. And dont forgot to leave some for me lol.
Hey Steve, so it's right in the plaza where the Foodland is right? What's the store called? And don't worry, I'll leave some for you buddy. :)
OK I think I've found the name of the store. Just to confirm, it's the one in the same plaza as the Foodland right?
Yea its Foodland. I was actually at the store yesterday and they havent recieved their shipment yet, so give it a few days before you check it out. And the store is right beside subway.
Thanks a lot! I'll have to check it out probably this weekend. I'll be sure to treat you with some Vanilla Coke next time!
Do not know where you are but if you are in Toronto I found a store at the Beach called the Nutty Chocoltier it is on Queen Street
Hey Nellie, does that store sell Pepsi Wild Cherry or Coca Cola Cherry?
Mixing Cherry Brandy with Coke is also a very tasty substitute... Second Cup also sells bottles of Cherry syrup (the Torani syrups) I've never tried it with coke, but have always wanted to. They sell for about $12 for a pretty big bottle.. I think a litre of syrup.
Thanks for the heads up on the store near Fairview (the variety store? or Foodland itself? We'll check both.. we're cherry coke addicts!)
In the US they also have straight up Cherry Crush and Cherry Pepsi that isn't bad either... What is with Canada and it's hate of cherry flavored sodas? hmph!
Theres a Variety store called ce bon variety on the right of a dominoes pizza at MAIN and KINGSTON RD that sometimes sells it.
What is the name if the store at yonge and eglinton that sells it
I found Cherry Coke in Halifax, NS. So far the only place I've seen it is Pete's Froutique, off of Spring Garden Rd. It comes in one of those 330mL cans.
Cool Hollo. But to drive to Halifax would be redundant as the USA is just 2 hours south. And does anyone have a pic of those cherry coke bottles of those 600mL or 591mL ones? I would really like to see it :D
Make a Border Run!
I've made a border run and bought a case of 12-pack Pepsi Wild Cherry cans and 1 bottle of Coca Cola Cherry. Not to mention the limited edition Throwback.
Yeah, they're selling Cherry Coke Zero as well right now, someone bought me a 591ml bottle a week ago and then I saw it in a variety store a few days ago too. Can't find it in supermarkets yet or in bigger bottles, it'll probably go away aafter a short while, like cherry pop always does up here.
In Toronto I have found the following places:
Starbank Convienience store

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and I was super excited when I found out that Jack Astor's has cherry and vanilla coke. So if you live anywhere near a Jack Astor's resaurant, give it a look-see. :)
there is a shop in langley bc called "ultimate seafood junkies" that has the following selection of coke products in stock at all times. these are from the U.S., cherry coke, cherry coke zero, vanilla coke, vanilla coke zero, cherry pepsi,cherry vanilla pepsi. they also stock sodas from britain, cherry coke, cherry 7up, real coke in glass bottles, etc. the last time i was there they had 41 different sodas from the U.S., Britain, and Canada. what a real find!!!! website address is seafoodjunkies.com you can get the address and phone number that way.
Is there any in Alberta?
Found a Hasty Market in Oakville on 6th Line, just east of Upper Middle that carries coca cola Cherry and was I nota happy camper. Seeing as they were imported from the U.S., (no french anywhere on the label and the website sendsite is the U.S. one), I'm not sure how long they'll have them. They were selling the 591ml bottles.
That should read "I was a happy camper" I love this stff.
Sigh... you guys are all lucky to even have leads! I live in Ottawa, Ontario and I have DESPERATELY been trying to find it. Not just cherry coke, but Vanilla Coke, (actually diet cherry and diet vanilla) , and there's another one I'm looking for : Diet Vanilla-Cherry Dr. Pepper.. (yes in the same drink lol). What is UP with Canada?? You know, I lived in Dubai, U.A.E for 7 years and I was able to get cherry coke at T.G.I Friday's and Chillis restaurants; in fact, at Friday's, they served it in a tall glass with 3 cherries in the glass .. we're MUCH closer to the U.S, yet for some reason I have NEVER found it up here. We should complain to the government.. this is some sort of discrimination lol...
aaah, but seriously, if ANYONE has ANY leads on where, in Ottawa, ON, I could find (even ONE) of the following:
1- Cherry Coke
2- Vanilla Coke
3- Diet Cherry Coke
4- Diet Vanilla Coke
5- Cherry-Vanilla Dr.Pepper
6- Diet cherry-vanilla Dr.Pepper
... PLEEEEASE let me know. I'll treat you to dinner :-D
am_marios@hotmail.com
GASP... lol about 5 minutes after my initial comment..I FOUND IT... I'VE FOUND IT !!
There is a restaurant here in Ottawa that serves Cherry Coke. I found them online.. I even called them (lol how pathetic) and the person on the phone was like 'yeah sure, we do that.'.. and she said it so nonchalantly, like 'yeah why wouldn't we?'.. I probably sounded like a drug-addict when I excitedly asked "are you sure?? CHERRY COCA COLA... CHERRY??" LMAO
Sigh, so it's not in a can, and I guess that means I'll have to figure out a way to get it 'take-out'...but whatever, it's a light at the end of the tunnel! wooo-hooo.
btw that dr.soda website is actually really good... only downside is that the shipping to Canada (through UPS) is $68 dollars.... so, I ordered a 6 pack of cherry coke, a 12 pack of diet cherry coke and a 12 pack of vanilla coke...and that totaled to about $16 dollars - so the actual pop itself is pretty cheap... however, WITH the shipping and handling (add $68 bucks).. the total came to about $84 buckaroos! Now, obviously I'm not going to be able to just do this whenever I want (84 bucks is really steep - I'm a student) .. but the actual pop itself is VERY reasonably priced - in fact, it is downright inexpensive - sucks about the shipping... but hey, if you're desperate enough, at least it IS a viable valid option!

I found Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke at the Hasty Market at Van Kirk & Sandalwood in Brampton a few weeks ago.
I hear they sell it in Red Deer Alberta!
It is only because Canada has little population compared to the other big countries in the world. We have only 33 million while the states is almost 300 million and the UK is 65 million.
If you travel to the UK help yourself there, that is where I first tried it!
I live in Ottawa and I can only find lime pepsi. There is a convinience store in aroura that sells cans of cherry coke. It is near two schools. I'm not guaranteeing it since it was half a year ago but it might still sell them
The Big Bee @ several Hamilton locations sell them, but specifically the one near my house 180 James St South in Hamilton
there is a little convenience store in The Village by the Grange downtown Toronto that is selling it...got one today and I'm drinking it right now :) and they even have Cherry Coke Zero. I'm still trying to find a supermarket(or something) that's selling the cases.

I live in Montreal, and most grocery stores that have kosher section (like IGA/Sobey's or Metro) do sell Coca-Cola Cherry and Coca-Cola Cherry Zero, all you need is know where is the closest Jewish neighborhood.
@Ariel, I live on Van Horne avenue, and I don't think they got cherry coke, even if it's a jewish area.

Wow I'm from Windsor Ontario and just stumbled upon this page and can't believe the popularity cherry coke has here in Canada! I cross the border like every week to bring back 4 (24) cases! I thought I was one of the few Canadians who actually likes it! But there seems to be a very high demand over here for it. Canada needs to bring it back!!!

If you are located in Etobicoke, I have found a store that carries CHERRY COKE! I discovered this a few days ago. It's in the same plaza as Mcdonalds at Commerce Blvd & Explorer, I believe.
