In this plaza, there is quite a bit of parking in the side and we were quickly seated during a long weekend afternoon. The locatoon has been renovated so the seats were comfy and spacious. For a limited seasonal time, they had a bubble tea assam ice cream menu so we decided to try the brown sugar pearl ice cream on a belgian waffle and waffle cone. The ice cream clearly has tea leaves in it and because of the brown sugar syrup, it does lean sweeter than their other ice creams. However when paired with the salted cheese foam, it balances it out. Their waffles and waffle cone were freshly made to order. The boba poured over with the brown sugar had more of a chewy jelly texture than the usual tapioca found in drinks which helped make the dessert feel less heavy. I would definitely be back because of the ample parking, polite service and generous portion sizes. read more

First time at this demetres and I was pleasantly surprised!! One of the OG spots and I've heard so many good things, so I had to come and sample the goods!! I felt particularly indulgent today so I opted for the Brownie points dessert. A caramel brownie cheesecake with a brownie chocolate ice cream. And oh my gosh, it was indulgence all over my plate. Super rich, super flavourful, and SO SWEET. I was buzzing with the sugar rush. The ice cream is always amazing here, and the cheesecake was SO creamy. It was super busy today and every table was full so service was slow, but the little interaction we had was really good. Really kind and friendly A cute, homey and one of the best places to hang out. Will be back soon! read more

Demetres was surprisingly busy for a midweek evening after dinner, but the service was incredibly fast. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and efficient throughout our visit. We got the lady in pink on a Belgium waffle. The portion was really generous for sharing, with lots of fresh strawberries. There's a large selection of other desserts, we would come back to try the ice cream sandwhiches on a croissant bun! Despite how busy it was, there was plenty of seating, ample parking, and the overall experience felt smooth and enjoyable. read more

We had a great experience at Demetres. Sarah provided excellent service and was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. She let us know that every dessert on the menu could be customized, which made choosing much easier. We ordered the Cone-afa Sundae and swapped the honey vanilla ice cream for the ube flavour. It arrived promptly, and the presentation was beautiful. The tall sundae was layered with vibrant ube ice cream, pistachio kunafa, waffle cone pieces, chocolate, whipped cream, and a cherry on top, making it look just as good as it tasted. The quality of the dessert really stood out. The ube ice cream had a rich, authentic flavour, and the layers of crunchy granola added a nice contrast in texture, making every bite satisfying. It was a well-balanced dessert that wasn't overly sweet, and we really enjoyed every spoonful. read more

Great experience at Demetres Richmond Hill. I ordered the Dubai Bunafa, and it was served incredibly fresh--warm, crisp, and loaded with rich pistachio and chocolate icecream .

I ordered the artisanal ice cream, specifically the Ministry of Mango Sorbetto and Chocolate Cashmere flavours. It came with a cute little waffle cone piece, and the presentation was adorable.

The customer service was excellent. The server maya was extremely attentive and nice. We got the matchamatics and ube eats on french crepes. The presentation was adequate, but missing the ube wafer sticks as per the menu. When we brought it up to the server she escalated to her manager, who then apologized for it being out of stock, and offered ice cream or extra toppings in place. The ordered items were delicious and generously portioned. read more

The waffles aren't what they used to be; they put very little sauce on them, and the result is a dry waffle. When you mention this and ask for extra sauce, they charge extra. Waffles aren't cheap to begin with; all you do is add sauce and sliced ​​fruit; you shouldn't charge extra for that. I would have paid less if I had eaten meat at another restaurant. All your staff are inexperienced and not problem-solving oriented. read more

Came here for a late night dessert. We tried the cocoa ono cake which was a chocolate fudge cake with honey vanilla ice cream. It was quite a dense cake and a little dry. It was very chocolatey and rich so the ice cream lightened it up. The honey ice cream was quite good but the more we ate the cake it started to not taste as great. Overall it was okay and satisfies a sweet craving but was nothing amazing. The service was quick, nothing to complain about. The interior is a little outdated so not the biggest fan of the look. The Markham location is much nicer inside (although it is newer). read more

The food is good , it's basically different types of desserts , with crepes , waffles, waffle cones. We can order all kinds of ice creams like coconut, chocolate, strawberry, and lot of them cones with fresh fruits . They serve coffee tea latte, but I found the coffee a little on the higher side. The service was good . It isn't a very spacious place but it's a good size , lots of small groups were enjoying their desserts. read more

I normally would go to the downtown Markham location since it is the nicely renovated one, buy decided to try this Richmond location on a Friday evening. I was pleased to see that there were quite a lot of patrons here! Ordered the Splitsonia Belgian waffle which includes strawberry slices, strawberry coulis sauce,and a scoop of honey vanilla ice cream. I paid an extra $3.50 for banana slices. The ice cream itself was delicious and highly recommend it. The strawberries were super sour, and was a mix of fresh and frozen strawberries. The coulis was as you'd expect. The waffle was not crispy. This would be solved if they let the waffle to cool after cooking as this helps to harden the waffle a bit, before adding any toppings. The Belgian hot chocolate arrived warm rather than hot. So much so that the toasted marshmallow on it didnt melt at all. This $8 drink didn't feel premium as one would expect from a Belgian hot chocolate, and I wouldn't recommend this. Service was rather friendly and fast. Overall, I enjoyed the evening here. read more

I recently had a fantastic experience with quick and good customer service at Demetres. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer was promptly served and had their needs met. They were knowledgeable about the menu and helped me choose the perfect waffle dessert to suit my taste. The service was efficient, and I didn't have to wait long for my order. Overall, the quick and good customer service at Demetres made my visit enjoyable and left me with a positive impression.! The Tongue Depressor - Belgian Waffle at Demetres is an indulgent treat! You'll enjoy a mouthwatering combination of a fluffy Belgian waffle topped with rich Cocoa Chanel ice cream, fudge brownies, white chocolate buttons, and drizzled with French dark chocolate sauce. It's a decadent dessert that's worth every bite! read more

If I could give zero star, I absolutely would. Demetres allows theirs customers to harass other patrons. Family came in to enjoy a treat and took up 2 tables by the entrance cause there were 14 people all together that were visibly the only minority including minors in the establishment. Then there was a group of people that entered the establishment, while they were waiting to get seated this group decided to make disgusting faces on us while one lady was tapping her watch, then they decided to directly ask the host when family was going to leave loud enough to be heard... Aunt that was with family got upset at this group and said they weren't leaving cause obviously nobody is finished. When they were getting seated and walking past the table they heard so the woman continued make faces and hurling insults and people that were in her group started flipping family off and saying fck off while saying other profanity while telling aunt to calm down as if they weren't the one singling family out, making faces, tapping their watching, hurling insults and flipping people off in front of little children like they were entitled to the seats and they deserved it more.. this group decided to single family out and I believe it was racially motivated because they weren't harassing any of the other patrons for their seats. I'm extremely disappointed that the hostess didn't say anything allowed this horrible behavior to continue and allowed family to get harassed and still seated and served them. 0/10 will never support this business which sucks because they have good desserts. read more

Admittedly, this isn't the most beautiful location Demetres has, the parking lot is rather small, and Yonge Street can be a little hectic; however, I appreciate this location a lot for the friendly service and home-y feel! Plus, you get what you would get at other locations as well - the same huge portion and beautiful presentation! I always look over at other tables and see people ordering an entire dessert to themselves and I never understand how they do it! I typically share my crepes with one other person, and that alone is more than enough for me (and it comes up to ~$13.50 plus tax for a crepe decked out with syrups, ice cream and toppings). I appreciate that Demetres always finds different artists to design their menus. It's refreshing and very unique! Bonus: this location is right across the street from Hillcrest so you can walk off your full belly after and feel less guilty about all the sweets you just ingested. read more

Such a delicious crepe place. We got the Smithsonian crepe and it was packed with strawberries, bananas, ice cream and whipped cream. The chocolate drizzle was so delicious on top of the dish. We did also add brownie bits to the dish as well and it was well worth the $2. The only reason it's not a 5 star review Is because we had to wait 15-20 minute wait for a table that we realized it was available the entire time. read more

I used to come here regularly after exercise late at night. I know it sounds like an evil weight gaining event but it actually is enjoyable having a sip of frozen drink or ice cream after a whole night's sweating. They have decent frozen drink here and my favourite is the Oreo flavour. The place is pretty noisy though, with typical pub-like ambiance to get wasted at night. read more

Demetre is a chain so it's a pretty predictable experience (e.g., a great place for date night). Where the locations differ is not on the menu, but on the ambiance, service, and busyness. This location is not as nice as the Vaughan one, but the service was decent and it's not nearly as busy (you're pretty much guaranteed to wait anywhere from 15-45 minutes in Vaughan on a Friday or Saturday night). My favourite ice cream flavour is white chocolate - it's just subtly sweet, unlike some of the other flavours. read more

Demetres is a classic! The renovations make this place way more youthful/hip than they used to be. Demetres is a little expensive compared to other dessert options but the ambience of the place makes up for this a little bit. A crepe with ice cream is about $14.50 and the waffle is $15.50. I shared the Splitsonian crepe, which has strawberries, bananas and Nutella. We didn't realize till later we can still build our own crepes and it will cost the same! We might try that next time. This location was BUSY on a Saturday night at 11PM. Didn't have to wait long but it was pretty much at full capacity. read more

Don't get it why people are crazy about this place....?! I only tried Waffles and in my opinion they are very mediocre ones plus a scoop of regular ice-cream on top which you can easily find in supermarkets! Nothing special about the taste of these desserts except they are really huge and appealing and if you are craving something sweet you can go there and they are big enough to share with s/o else. Maybe other desserts are better I have no idea! The place itself is toooo busy and noisy and you have to stand in the line for a long time! I think it is enough to go to this place once. You can buy a 6-pack of Waffles for $5 and put your favorite ice-cream on it and pure your favorite sauce on top instead of paying $13. read more

I came here for late night waffles and ice cream with a couple of friends as we were in the area and had a sweet tooth craving. For what Caffe Demetre is, this location was not bad at all. Service was pretty quick and polite despite it being a busy Friday night and the atmosphere was cozy and clean. We were seated as quickly as possible and food was on the table within 15 minutes. Caffe Demetre is known for their desserts and satisfactorily hits the spot when you have that one off urge to gorge yourself on waffles, ice cream, and a ridiculous amount of sweet toppings. The craftsmanship of the desserts really isn't anything phenomenal and the "specials" they offer aren't anything to call home about, but the portions are huge and it's a great spot to hang out with friends and share one dish (no seriously, one dish is going to be enough for 3-4 people I swear). read more

usually i go to the one near me (enterprise blvd) and it usually takes about 10 minutes to get the dessert. but when i went to this place, i waited 40 minutes to get a waffle. i was hungry and just wanted to eat, i don't know why it took so long because the place was not super full the original ice cream i wanted for dulce and banana but they didn't have it so we replaced it with cocoa chanel to be honest i feel that it is not worth it to come here. the desserts taste good but it is not worth almost $20 just to eat waffles and ice cream. i would rate the dessert 4/5 but rate my experience 3/5. the cocoa chanel ice cream is really good because you can taste the richness of the dark chocolate. my favourite part was the praliné croquant which is basically roasted peanuts. it adds a really nice texture to the dessert because it contrasts with the texture of the waffle and adds a nice crunch read more

What major disappointment! We used to be regulars at Demetre café in many of its locations, but Alot of them has been shutting down within the past year and this location is one of the very few that are still there However, it seems like it has been sold to franchisees or whatever the case is, because the menu is different, the atmosphere is different, the prices, quality and service is all at rock bottom level Starting with the menu, where at lost its pretty and cool design, pictures and feeling, it is now just a boring list of items that you can find at any mediocre café with nothing special On top of this, they were out of many of the basic items such as chocolate cake, white chocolate cake, raspberry sauce, etc. The taste was absolutely terrible, this Cafe used to have delicious top notch desserts, now it really is very similar to a 5 pound pack that you can buy at your local grocery store As for service, again it's nothing different from the above, the servers are rude, we wear three people and wanted to sit at a booth was the place 95% empty, and Sherif used to sit us at the six people table because it is for six people, keeping in mind that there are at least five or six versus like that and they are all empty Finally, Frases have at least doubled or so, We used to get two items and two coffees an average of about $17-$19 bill with the tap, this time our bill was $30 plus for two desserts only with no drinks,it is a price I would be happy to pay for something worth that, but certainly not press What a tragedy ending for this great name that it was once! read more

This place is THE place to INDULGE!! I always feel guilty eating desserts but this is one of those places I never regret. We get the customize your own waffle most of the time and it's heavenly! Their waffles are so warm and fluffy and the mix of cold ice cream and waffle carb in your mouth is amazing. I love how you can choose 3 toppings and they range from different sauces like Nutella, or fruits like strawberry, apple crisp, and other good assortments. You can always mix and match and have a different flavour each time! They have an interesting delicious selection of ice cream. Only thing that bothered me was how busy this location is and the service is very very slow. Waited 10 mins for water and to be able to order. I tried to flag down waiters and a lot of times they would see me and make eye contact but ignore me because I'm not their table, they wouldn't even answer me with "your waiter is coming", they'd just literally ignore you. read more

The best Demetres by far. This location smokes the Woodbridge one and the one on east beaver creek. I've had the exact same dessert "the fork awakens" at all three locations. This is the only location where the waffle was fresh and by fresh I mean hot and served right away when it's done. The cream wasn't melting at all. The Woodbridge location and east beaver creek all had cold waffles as if they made them ahead of time to beat the rush. I will only go to this Demetres from now on and never go to the other ones. T.c is the man he always makes sure this place is running proper and on point. read more

Demetres - Best dessert ever at demetre Richmond hill. - Desserts Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

When I am hankering for a sinful late night dessert Demetre's is always near the top of my list because they will always have something to satisfy my ENORMOUS sweet tooth. I have been to this location a few times and have always had a pleasant experience. On my most recent visit a friend and I came here after dinner to indulge in some dessert. The place was barely half full since it was a weekday evening, I have been here on weekends and they do get pretty busy. My friend and I decided to share a waffle and the task of choosing the waffle was left up to me, I decided to venture away from my first love (their nutella ice cream) and go for the "life sentence" waffle. This waffle came with peanut butter ice cream, chocolate brownie pieces, bananas and chocolate sauce. No need to adjust your computer screen, you read the succession of ingredients correctly. I suppose they call it the "life sentence" because if you ever finish one on your own it will take a lifetime of exercise to burn it off. Our waffle took a while to be made but was definitely worth the wait. OMFG the peanut butter ice cream was ridiculous, not only did it have an intense peanut butter flavour but also had whole peanuts and chocolate chunks in it, it was over the top delicious. The brownie pieces were quite decadent (but a little heavy) and bananas are always a great compliment to peanut butter. The waffle came in a cute flower shape; it was crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. This was probably the most well put together waffle I have had at any Demetre's, the single scoop of ice cream was ginormous and looked like 3 scoops had morphed into 1 mega scoop, the other toppings were piled on generously which made this ideal for sharing and more than justified the $13 price tag. The service here has always been good and in my experience they are willing to accommodate any special requests. As many have noted the décor at this particular location is quite dated, they are also lacking a patio which the Markham location has. This place is easily accessible by car or transit and is a great destination for all kinds of desserts. Now excuse me while I go grab some insulin read more

Demetres - "A life sentence" waffle, very decadent - Desserts Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Not bad but not amazing, you know? Came for a late dessert with my date on a Friday night around 10pm. Here's what we saw; kids running back and forth on complete sugar highs, teeny boppers taking selfies with their alpha female, elderly couples on a nice Friday date, post fine dining dinner groups looking to fill their sweet tooth, exhausted parents, overly enthused servers. Don't get me wrong, the above isn't necessarily a bad thing, just not what I expected at all. Aside from their cartoon-like menu, I expected a mix between the Second Cup ambiance and a gaze-through-the-window-at-the-chefs crepery. Do not be fooled. Caffe Demetre is more so a Chuck E Cheese dessert place for kids, at least during the time we went. I saw they stay open until 1:30am so maybe their customers die down and 'mature' (ugh, that word...) past 11pm. I ordered a latte and Cappuccino Royale on a crepe while my date had the banana milkshake. It totally threw me off that the crepe and milkshake arrived before the latte but that's okay cause it all went into my belly in the end. Flavours were alright, a bit too much caramel for my likings but hey, I should have asked for less anyhow. The server explained that the cappuccino ice cream has fresh made espresso folded in - we thought that was the coolest! The crepe was light and I didn't feel too bogged down afterwards. It came to $29 without tip and I was a bit surprised to see I was charged for a large latte ($5) instead of a small ($3). I definitely received a large latte but didn't realize it until the bill came. I just assumed the default would be small... but I'm learning to never assume. All in all, I'd return much later than 10pm and I'll order something with less caramel. NOTE: it took a lengthy amount of time to get our bill as it was jammed. I'd say close to 10-15 minutes, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush. read more

It is located at the southwest corner of Yonge and 16th Avenue. The parking is limited since it is shared parking with Tim Horton's and other stores. The place does get busy on Fridays and weekends especially during the late evenings. Large groups greater than six is not recommended. They can accommodate but it is a huge inconvenience especially if the place is full or busy. Since they don't just have tables for eight people or greater. Atmosphere 2.5/5 Even after the renovations, I didn't feel much of a change. It just painting a new colour and the art on their walls. There wasn't really significant effort in their renovations. The seating arrangements remained the same, which I felt they could have done a lot better. Similarly they didn't really fix the back kitchen either. They basically did the least amount of work to indicate their update. In honestly, not much of a difference than before. Service 3/5 Average service but I feel they are understaffed. They only have two waitstaff working that night when the room was at 90% to 95% capacity and two kitchen staff. Definitely tight service. Food 3.5/5 There were three of us, all adults. After a full meal we didn't want to order too much so we ordered a Belgian waffle - blush and a drink called "stormy weather". If you are a coffee person that is the drink for you. The blush Belgian waffle is mainly consists of strawberries drizzled with white chocolate, strawberry ice cream on top of the waffle and two whipped cream on the side. I really like their strawberry ice cream, it isn't very pink like other places or store bought. And it has bits of the strawberries too. The drizzle of white chocolate was a great touch since the solidified on top of the ice cream. The presentation for the waffle was good. It tasted good as well. However when I looked over at the table next to us. It was quite disappointing. Presentation isn't consistent. They ordered cake with ice cream. Although we didn't order it, it just didn't looked appealing. It was basically a slab of ice cream covering the entire slice of red velvet cake. And I noticed that over the years the cake layers have changed. It used to have two layers of cream cheese like 1cm thick. Now it is like 0.5 cm and only one layer. Moreover, they have updated their menu since the last time I came. It has reduced significantly. But their portion size is quite large compared to other places. Overall, price versus value - it was still quite pricy back then. They have increased like $2 for most of the food items on their menu from before. So you are paying roughly $17 before tax and tip if you are ordering for any of their waffles. And it is still pricy now. With Snow Time, Cups Bingsu, or Soul Cafe, or Sugar Marmalade 15 to 20 minutes distance of each other, they have much cheaper options and often no need of sharing. But if you strictly want your big portions and western desserts than this place is for you. If you decide to order a drink and still want dessert, I highly advised to share your cake or crepe or waffle with another person. Because the drinks are sweet and the other foods are sweet as well, it is quite overwhelming to finish all those sweets. It is definitely a good place to share with other people than getting individual plates of dessert. Unless you are very hungry or unwilling to share. read more

The previous location that I frequent has been closed permanently(east beaver creek location) this one isn't too far. This location is much larger and can seat almost double the other one. On a cold sat it was very busy but was seated quite fast. They are very organized and the servers are all very nice. I got the crepe (Nutella strawberry and vanilla ice cream) it was delicious and made very pretty. Idk where they get the ice cream but their vanilla ice cream is the best. Would come back. read more
