If you're tired of passing the large syrup bottle around the table, try a syrup dispenser instead. Smaller amounts of the topping are easier for kids and older family members to handle and can also help with portion control. Whether it's maple, strawberry, or blueberry syrup, these dispensers will look good serving your favorite flavor at the table. Read on to see which syrup dispensers we liked best.

Cons:

This jadeite option from Tablecraft has a decent weight to it, making it less likely to tip over when moving around the table. The square body provides a shorter profile and a modern look.

Why you can trust Real Homes
Now you know about our favorite dispensers, so which one will you pick? If we had to pick just one, we'd recommend the Tablecraft syrup dispenser. It's hard to resist the creamy, green-colored glass on this option. Not only will it add a bit of color to your table, but it's also very easy to pour with its convenient handle and slide mechanism.
If you want to spring for something a bit less traditional-looking, consider the Norpro honey and syrup dispenser. This version keeps syrup at the bottom, ready to pour over your favorite foods with the touch of the lever. Between uses, this dispenser can rest in the included glass base, which can also store warm water to prevent crystallization.
