Came here after dinner for some croffle and ice cream. This place was quite busy on a Friday night, there was about a 15min wait. The hostess took your name and number, waited by the lobby to get called in. The restaurant is bright with tons of seats including patio seatings. Our server was Ayman on his first day and he was truly kind and you can feel customer service when he spoke with you. We ordered a croffle but he brought in a waffle so it was a wrong order. We asked if we can just have the waffle and he got the okay, after the croffle came. The mistake wasn't really his fault since my friend had a thicker accent where croffle and waffle sounds quite the same. I would say the croffle isn't as good as the croffles in Cups which is why I was craving for it for dessert. That's the reason for one star less. Otherwise everything else is great! Pricing is on the higher side by the way but the portion is ginormous. I'll be coming here again after a small appetizer at a restaurant then here for dessert! Rating 4.2/5 read more

Updating my review since it's been a while since I last came. We came on a Thursday evening, it was scorching hot outside so it was nice to have some cool treats. We were greeted by the waitress and we ordered the bisco fever Belgian waffle. It took a while for the waitress to come back to take our order, I noticed she is the only worker on the floor and was tending to every table so the last couple of times it was the same thing, everything took longer to get the waiter/waitress' attention. One thing I wish is that there is another worker so that it doesn't take so long to order the dessert or get water. This was my favourite Belgian waffle, it had blondes, biscoff sauce that was nice and warm, biscoff cookie crumble with honey vanilla ice cream. Everything worked well together and tasted amazing. I loved the warm and crispiness of the waffle. It was definitely the star dessert at demetres! It was presented nicely with icing sugar and sauce over the waffles. I would most likely order this waffle again next time! read more

This is a perfect spot for dessert! There was no queue on a Thursday night, service was great. We entered and got immediately seated and served with a glass of water. The menu is quite extensive, since every dessert looks great, it's hard to pick one. We had the same delicious Dubai chocolate crepe, it was so yummy! The portion is always generous and two of us were unable to finish one dessert. I love this place and will visit again. read more

I had a great experience at Demetres and really enjoyed the Formula Bun ice cream sandwich. The bun was soft and fresh, while the ice cream was creamy and paired nicely with the sweet toppings. The dessert was beautifully presented and looked just as good as it tasted. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the visit. Overall, the food quality, presentation, and customer service were all excellent. read more

I tried the crepes and presentation of dish was visually appealing. The crepes were nice and fluffy and the ube ice cream was rich in flavour. The dessert felt very sweet and it needs some other flavours or textures to balance the dish out. The customer service was friendly, however read more

It's been ages since I came back here. The service was great; we were always asked if everything was good or if we needed anything. I have to say, no matter what time, this place is busy and crowded with people. Good thing we were able to be seated. We ordered two different desserts to try. I must say that both desserts were delicious, but the Ube one was much better. The matcha one with the white chocolate sauce made it a bit too sweet, in my opinion. You have to try it for yourself to see, as everyone's taste buds are different. Also, even though it was crowded with people, it wasn't loud, and we were able to talk amongst ourselves. Even when I had my baby there, the noise level was decent. read more

Decided to give this place a visit for a nostalgic dessert hang after years. Everything is pretty much the same in terms of vibes, service, and portions. Their menu has remained the same, but this time around I noticed a few trendy items which was fun. They also have 4 different kinds of waffles to choose from too -- from Belgian, liege, and croffle. I ordered their new ube flavour (not sure if this is a limited time offering) croffle. I was so glad I got the croffle because I really enjoyed the chewy texture. I tried my friend's liege and it was really heavy and had a bit more of a savoury taste. The ice cream scoops they give are also huge. The price is slightly higher, I guess it's the inflation after all these years... after tax and tip the one waffle cost me almost $30 which to me is insane for dessert. Overall their stuff still hits the spot.. very fun selection of flavours and a cute vibe for a dessert hangout. We came shortly after a pretty big dinner which was our first mistake. Make sure to come hungry because their waffles are huge and filling. read more

Here's the thing - I am never too sure about Demetres. The downtown Markham location probably has the most breathtaking interior designs of all the desert stores, but I find the food underwhelming and way too overpriced. Also, they don't serve espresso drinks on ice. I asked for an iced latte, but apparently it only comes as a hot beverage, which was very bizarre (especially since they do serve their special iced coffee drink, which costs 11 dollars, if I remember correctly). I suspect that the drinks were premade and they don't have an espresso machine? But that doesnt add up since they do have affogato on the menu... The waffle is a bit too soggy and lacks flavour (it is priced at like 21 dollars I think). I only give it three stars for its decor. read more

We ordered the Pomme Pilot crepe and it was delicious! Tasted just like an apple pie. The crepe was fresh and the apples were sweet and flavourful. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect pairing. The service was excellent. We were seated and had our order taken immediately. Definitely one of our favourite demetres location. read more

Service was very fast and efficient! Portion size is quite large more than enough for 2. They also let you choose the ice cream flavour that came with the cake so it is not locked into what was listed on the menu item read more

Highly advise folks to not waste their time at this Demtres location. I have never experienced such rude, dismissive and poor service from not one, not two but 3 workers. It was very unexpected as the establishment was fully staffed in the kitchen and the floor. We were seated outside, and the only decent and kind worker was the man who took our order. He ended up working the inside of the floor shortly after he took our order. This will be server A. It took 30 mins for my group and I to pay for our bill. We had to ask 3 different servers (B,C,D) for our bill and a take out box. Each time we asked, there was a 20 mins wait in between each time before we decided to ask another server for our bill. The first time we asked, server B asked who our original server was and never came back outside for any clarification or take out box. 20 mins passed and we asked server C for a bill and take out box. We watched the same servers walk by us and handle other table's bills. There were tables seated after us, and managed to leave before us. Server C came back and we were finally able to pay at 10:30pm but alas, still no take out box. We waited patiently after paying before we flagged server D and kindly requested a take out box. And that server never came back outside as well. I had to walk inside with the plate in hand and humiliatingly requested a take out box again for the soggy and pathetic leftovers in my hands. The three servers, (B,C,D) were standing by the kitchen/prep area. Server C said, 'Yes, one second,' and walked away - away from kitchen that had the take out boxes behind her. Servers B and D simply made eye contact with me and walked away. Server A, now in the kitchen area, asked us how long we've been waiting outside for. Mind you, he took our order at around 8pm when the sun was still out, and saw us walk in close to 11pm when it was dark. He was kind enough to offer some ice cream as compensation for the poor service which I refused as it was not his fault that his coworkers treated us dismissively and rudely. 0/10 would not recommend this place. The food was good but the service was unsatisfactory. There was a lack of care and attention to customers that did not kick up any fuss, or had any insufferable dietary restrictions or requests. Out of the 7 people working that floor, only one server managed to show us some kindness and remorse for how we were treated. read more

Always a great time to be at demetres! We went after watching a movie with two other people. On the outside, they had a lot of empty tables but when we arrived, there was a long long waiting. Not sure exactly why? We waited probably about 20 minutes and when we got inside, there were still empty tables so not sure what was happening there. Decor was alright, there's an open kitchen and you can see the staff making your waffles and crepes right there. We ordered the fudge waffle and it did not disappoint - fudgey, gooey and paired perfectly well with the warm waffle. It was a great complement to the salty and buttery popcorn we had had during the movie. read more

the service is okay and we didnt have to wait long probably because we went there @ 10pm. Since it's fairly new, the place looks neat and clean. But let's talk about the desserts... $22.5 for Belgian waffle $17.5 for Parfait Was the price justifiable? Hmm... no, i dont think so. I dont think a $56 bill is justifiable with risking my sugar levels in this cafe. Will I go back again? If im a teen and dont care about i eat and how much money I spend, probably yes but now that I know better, No. Just a true and honest review for this chain. read more

Opened late night and as we were debating which dessert place to go, so glad to have stumbled upon Demetres! We saw it full of people at 10:30pm and knew we had to try especially when we saw "best ice cream ever" We got the crepe w/ banana and Dulce ice cream! LIFECHANGING Their menu was extremely cute and had so many different flavors! Not ordering the whole menu was difficult. Must try if you're in downtown Markham! read more

We frequently dine at this location, but tonight we decided to order from Uber Eats for the first time. We tried the Splitsonian French crepe, and unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. The banana was unripe and very bitter, which was disappointing since the menu only offered two fruit options: banana and strawberries. How could they serve unripe fruit? There wasn't enough Nutella to balance out the bitterness, and I didn't enjoy it at all. I called Demetres to express my concern, and the response was less than helpful. The staff apologized, and after waiting for any further assistance, I was told they would inform the kitchen staff and advised me to contact Uber directly about my dissatisfaction. The call ended abruptly without any meaningful resolution. read more

Demetres is definitely a very delicious dessert spot, but we've noticed that the prices have increased quite drastically over the years. With that being said, the crepes are still VERY delicious, especially with the homemade ice cream. We ordered the Apple Pom crepe to share, and it satisfied our sweet tooth craving. It was very busy and chaotic inside when we went (around 10pm on a weekday night), and only one server was on the floor, so service was a bit slow in terms of placing our orders and getting the bill. However, the space inside is huge and can definitely fit lots of people, and is also very family friendly. read more

The desserts are SERIOUSLY SO SWEET. Neither my friend nor I could finish what we ordered because the sweetness became a little intolerable. I can see how that can appealing for some people though!

The best part of fall? Cozying up with something sweet and indulgent! Demotes Fall Menu is something I tried and it's packed with warm, comforting flavors that capture the essence of the season. Every seasonal menu is designed by local Toronto artists !!! My favorite was their Fashionably Latte Belgian Waffle with hazelnuts. I love their ice creams and Thats why I went here. So, if you were to boy pint ice creams, try their ice creams from stores as well :). ! Location: Demetres They have multiple locations as well in Toronto to try :) ... read more

One of the best dessert spots in the GTA. The waffles are to die for, I had the moo lala. The server was kind and prompt, they were busier and so it did take a bit of time for us to receive the food, but my friend and I were chatting so the timing of everything was great. Presentation was on point, very instagram worthy. The quality of the dessert as mentioned was excellent, probably my go to dessert spot in the GTA. read more

This dessert shop is the best I have had so far in Toronto. Their desserts are particularly impressive, especially their ice cream, which is not overly sweet. The combination with the waffles is incredibly delicious. The prices are reasonable, and I highly recommend it. 呢間甜品店係我so far喺多倫多食過最好食嘅甜品，特別係佢啲雪糕非常出色，唔會話去到太甜，配搭埋啲窩夫超級好食。價錢唔算貴，高度推薦。 read more

Came here for dessert and was honestly pretty unimpressed. Tried the tounge depressor belgian waffle and found it pretty expensive ($22). The portion is pretty big and it's very sweet- the chocolate was good! But overall wasn't very inspiring. Dish was pricey but not particularly special or niche or unique. The place was also not very clean and there seemed to be glitter (?) on some of the seats. The service wasn't great and it was hard to get their attention and servers didn't seem super experienced...Everything was sort of lacking and just can't justify dropping 22+tax+tip on such a mediocre experience when's there's a lot of other dessert choices in Markham. Can't see myself coming back read more

Came here to grab some dessert to take home to enjoy with my nieces since we had a slumber party ( yes, I'm that kind of fun aunt). My nieces has never been exposed to demetres before, so I was excited to let them have a little taste of heaven. Got inside and it wasn't too busy, told the host we wanted to order for takeout and she handed us a menu and seated us close by to the cash/cook area as we looked at the menu to see what amazing desserts they had to offer. We ordered splitsonian (with crepe), sweetcar name devour (with liege waffle) and blush French crepe they all come with icecream on the side when you order take out. Order was ready within 15 minutes. By the time we left, it started getting really busy. Got home, and the girls ripped open the bag and devoured everything! mr. Tran and I shared the splitsonian and we had no complaints. Had a piece of the liege waffle to try and it was pretty good, it's more dense and chewier, not like the classic waffle. Prices are a little steep, but def nice to have once in a while. read more

The new summer menu is very refreshing! The tartness of the ice cream brings a really nice balance to the desserts. The crepe was super creamy and paired so well with the strawberry ice cream and toppings. The croissant was a bit denser than I had imagined and not as flaky, but the ice cream really saved the day. We also had the parfait accompli, which was perfect for my chocolate cravings. Although slightly too decadent, it was a great treat to bring home and savour over the next day! The waffle could have been a bit crispier and was slightly eggy though. Service was unfortunately really inattentive and oblivious. read more

We came here for dessert after dinner. The place appeared understaffed, and we had to ask to be seated. It took several minutes until we were acknowledged. The menu is pretty extensive with lots of offerings. I enjoyed the Severus (Belgian chocolate) milkshake and was probably one of the best chocolate milkshakes I've ever had. Unfortunately our orders came out staggered. I could see my kids' ice cream on the service counter melting while waiting to be picked up and served to us. I told the waitress but she seemed stressed out having to attend to the other customers. My wife's order was messed up and we had to reorder. Again we saw the ice cream on the counter waiting a while before being picked up. All the flavors were excellent with amazing presentation but the poor service was disappointing read more

I got the Pomme Pilot and it was amazing the amount apple to waffle ratio was the same. The only downfall is the ice cream melted so fast that it makes the waffle soggy fast. Otherwise I would recommend trying. On a Tuesday night it was quiet and the service was quite slow. We asked for the bill and it took a while before it came. read more

I ordered "the last straw french crepe". I was surprised about the amount of fresh strawberries I got which was a good thing. The vanilla ice cream was rich and the portion was plenty. The crepe came out hot and went well with the toppings. The food and decor at this location was super cute. I visited earlier in the day, the service was friendly and attentive. The food came out faster than I anticipated. I am looking forward to visiting with friends again, we agreed it's a good location for celebrations too. read more

We ordered the Splitsonian on a Belgian waffle and it was so satisfying. I was hesitant at first because I don't really like ordering vanilla ice cream at ice cream stores, but it was rich, creamy and definitely better quality ice cream than some other places. The menu changes frequently, as there were some spring items, so it would be nice to see what they have next season! The decor is super cute, as always at this location. However the price was pretty steep for a waffle so I took off 1 star. It came up to $25.71 before tip. read more

Upon entering, first impressions were definitely everything! The decor is absolutely stunning - from the architectural arrangements, to the bold flower wallpaper, to the matching pastel furniture. Such an Instagram-worthy spot, minus the old school carpet which was a little out of place. Since the menu is the same across all locations with the same prices, you might as well pay this location a visit for the ambience. Service wasn't anything to rave about but was quite good. We were seated with menus and water and given ample time to review the menu before ordering so there was no rushing. Everything also came out correctly as ordered, with the beautiful plating as you'd expect for this price point and came out in a timely manner. As always, portions were huge and perfect for sharing. Taste-wise, things were spot on as well. Place was overall kept clean, no complaints there. Some tables could have been better distanced in my opinion; but I did like the area we were seated which was all the way in the back, half booth and half chairs. They did check vaccination records and IDs upon entry with a reminder to keep masks on whenever leaving the table. read more

Nothing's better than a tart lemon and blueberry dessert to kick off the summer! As usual, the customer service at Demetres was fast and polite despite it being busy. I always enjoy their beautiful pastel & floral decor too. I got the My Main Squeeze Belgian Waffle since it's one of their summertime specials. The generous scoop of lemon meringue ice cream was perfectly tart and paired well with the fresh blueberries. The little bits of meringue were delicious. The waffle had a nice soft chew though if they left it for an extra minute or two, there would have been a bonus crunch factor which was missing. The lemon curd sauce and shortbread crumble brought the whole dessert together though! read more

I went for desserts after watching movies across the street. On a weekend night, it was super busy and would definitely recommend joining the waitlist online prior to arrival. After around a 30 min wait, we were seated - the interior is quite spacious. We got the Pomme Pilot waffle and The Last Straw waffle. The Pomme Pilot was a classic mix of apple and ice cream, on top of a waffle. The waffle was light and crispy, though I wish there was a bit more of the cinnamon and caramel flavour. While our server explained the situation to us, the dishes did take a bit long to arrive and asking for the bill involved multiple attempts as it was forgotten. The prices are a bit steep as well so this is not a place I would frequent often for desserts. read more
