Demetres - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love their wide array of choices, and their portions. Invariably our group always over order - all good! Personally, I prefer this location to all others because of ease of parking, and the mood, decor and overall atmosphere here. Don't be surprised if you need to wait for a little while for a table. read more

There were apparently a lot of trainees employees, but that still doesn't explain why it would take so long to make Crepes with ice cream on top and some cut strawberries. It took 45 minutes to get to our table. The crepe itself has hard parts, not sure if it's undercooked or over cooked. I haven't been to this location for years, it's a bit disappointing. Also my spoon came with something still sticking out on the side and the back had dried chocolate. How blind can the server be to not see that before giving to the customer. I did get a replacement, but hard to believe they cleaned the other utensils properly. read more

Nice experience for our late night sugar craving. This was the first night of indoor seating and staff member was professional and clear in explaining protocol. The servings of ice cream that accompanied our red velvet and crepe were definitely very generous. Desserts themselves were a solid 4 stars. Didn't blow me away but I left very satisfied. read more

Came here yesterday evening after a visit to The Burgers Priest (pro-tip: don't go there if you can avoid it) and was pleasantly surprised by the decor - LOVE the nature wall at the back! The neon signs on the walls were very nice and even the lighting was unique and pretty. My friend and I were promptly seated, and given menus and water. We decided on the Pomme Pilot on a waffle between the two of us, which was well worth it. Basically tastes like a deluxe apple pie - make sure to get waffle, streusel AND ice cream all in the same bite! It started to get busy around 8 pm, and it was hard to flag our server down for the bill, but overall I would definitely visit again! This location has great decor, great vibes, is clean and quiet (for 7 PM on a Monday, anyways). Definitely go here if you're in the area! read more

Good place to go for desserts - with a wide range of crepes, waffles, cakes, ice cream sundaes etc. This location is very nicely renovated and one of the larger locations they have. That being said, it does get quite crowded in the evening so be prepared to wait. read more

Demetres - Splitsonian with Roche Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Today I tried the pretty in pink waffle at Demetres, the service was great and the presentation was very nice! It was a huge portion where I had plenty left over to bring home. The dessert was a bit too sweet with the white chocolate and the wafers. But there were plenty of strawberries to balance. I always enjoy my visit at demetres and have a great time. The quality and taste is always delicious and makes me want to go back! read more

Went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't busy. There were many tables free and quite a few people working there, but the service wasn't great. And not to mention, there were flies hovering here and there!! Some were even in the sugar packets. With that aside, my friend ordered the Pomme Pilot ($11.25) and he loved it! I ordered a single scoop sundae called Choc This Way ($9.25). It was quite good and the servings were large. This Caffe Demetres was very average and similar to the other chains that are scattered around the GTA. Nothing really spectacular and would've probably been a decent place to just chill and have desserts later in the night! read more

Demetres - Choc This Way One Scoop Sundae ($9.25) - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Place has been renovated and looks great. It is a casual atmosphere and usually pretty busy. Service is unpredictable to say the least...I've had horrible service where it seems that no one was working there and I've had great service where staff was attentive and helpful. I guess it depends on the night or who's working. What is predictable is that the deserts are AMAZING!!! So many options from Crepes to Waffles to Sundays to Milk Shakes to Coffees and Lattes. Everything on the menu is just YUUMMM!!! Over the years prices have steadily kept rising and it is a bit pricey but worth the splurge every once in a while. read more

Demetres - New plating, not appealing at all. Ordered the moolala (regular favourite) and looks like it no longer appears to be the same. - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Slightly more upscale than I may have expected, and nicely decorated. With that said, the menu was more expensive than I would've expected as well. My own order of a red velvet cheesecake was fairly reasonably priced and probably would've gone for the same rate at most other places, but other items on the menu - especially ice cream and sundaes were more than I would've guessed before seeing the menu. I suppose you get fairly good value once you're aware that the portions are large - for example "one scoop" of ice-cream is actually a considerable amount. Virtually all the deserts I saw were were large portions as well. So I suppose it's good if you want a considerably large portion of dessert, or, you could simply share one with a date. read more

Pomme Pilot? More like YUM Pilot!! I've been wanting to come here for so long. I made the time to go for the first time in years. Since the place moved across the street from their previous location, I noticed that it looked nicer and was more comfortable. Although it was still quite loud and busy. The wait was short but the food took a while to come. All of the dishes were very sweet. It was sort of pricey, and most people don't finish their meal because the portions are so big. So although it was delicious, I wasted money on something couldn't finish eating... read more

Their waffles are my favourite things ever. So buttery and soft and amazing. Definitely filling as well. I've had them a million times as I live walking distance from the store. Only thing I dislike is the long wait times on weekends but that's understandable. read more

Demetres - The last straw - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This location was the best out of all the Demetres i have been to. The decor is superb! I ordered the my regular, which was the Machiatto with the Belgian chocolate and the crepe and Roche ice cream and it was divine! Natasha was our waitress and she was amazing. She checked on us numerous times and was very accommodating. No complaints! read more

Demetres - Left: My crepe, roche ice cream with my Machiatto. Right: my friend's waffle, strawberry ice cream and hot chocolate! - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Simply went to order strawberries and Belgium waffles for takeout did so why i wait over 10 minutes until 2 staff members completed their conversation before receiving my order? Like seriously where is customer service going these days? Never is it acceptable for a customer to wait while you and your girlfriend discuss trivial things! I am the only one allowed to waste my time, not some inconsiderate restaurant employee, especially when I've paid MY money! Food was good though, but let's try to improve the service. read more

This is the place to be on Friday/Saturday night in the Dufferin and hwy 401 area. But be warned you will probably be in for a wait. They use a very unique (to me anyway) system for those groups waiting for a table. They will text you when your table is ready; however, saying that, today I got the text 10 minutes after we were seated. Can't explain that one. They've revamped the enterprise so expect a more upscale experience that remains family friendly. They have new ice cream flavours and new sundae combinations. IMO they seem to have moved their focus away from their infamous waffles/crepes (though they are definitely still on the menu) and focused on their sundae and hot/cold drink option. In the corner of the menu my cousin noticed that they also offer ice cream sandwiches but haven't tried or seen those yet. On both recent visits, I've created my own two-scoop sundae. Mainly because they offer white chocolate silk ice cream (I have a soft spot for white chocolate) with Nutella, strawberries and dark chocolate sauce. Add the complimentary whip cream and waffle biscuit and you've got a little piece of bliss. Price point is on the slightly higher side of reasonable (1 scoop is $9, 2 scoops is $10.75 plus tax) but I think it's worth every penny. Servers are attentive and friendly. Nothing bad to say, except wise this enterprise had more franchises around the city so the place wasn't always do packed. We will definitely be back! read more

The new cafe is beautiful inside very cute and retro. The food is more or less the same as it was before, but I swear the portions got bigger. I got a slice of cake with ice cream on the side and the slice of ice cream - yes a SLICE of ice cream, not a scoop - was bigger than my cake. read more

Came by again with a friend just to hang out. It really does seem like they fixed the problem with waiters that they used to have. The service was great, they were friendly and very helpful whenever I had a question. The food never disappoints, I love the cheesecakes and ice cream :) Will be coming back again! read more

So glad they moved across the street to a bigger and better venue. The previous place was too small for the demand, and was really slow. The new location is decorated interestingly... Not too sure what a forest wallpaper has to do with desserts but okay! POMME PILOT! That's all you need to know. Soooooo delicious, hits all the right spots. Apple, cinnamon, white chocolate ice cream... Need I say more? read more

Demetres - POMME pilot in a crepe! - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place was in my to-visit list and I finally got the chance to visit. We went during the evening (this place was open till 11:30pm) and though the parking lot situation was strange (i.e.further parking), the bright lights inside invited us in. We got ourselves a booth and were promptly given the hilarious menus. The menu is full of puns and movie references such as "Perks and Recreation", "Summertime Fatness" or "Game of Cones". I appreciate that. The menu is large and the variety is pretty admirable albeit a tad on the pricey side. The menu basically boils down to: -Do you want cake? -Do you want ice-cream? -Do you want cake + ice-cream? -Do you want crepe or waffle? -Do want something to drink? I chose the Belgium milk chocolate macchiato and a piece of chocolate fudge cake while my friend chose a two scoop brownie sundae. The macchiato was nice and warm with the Belgium chocolate drizzled upon the whipped cream, making for a delectable treat for the senses. The sweetness was not overpowering and you could enjoy the coffee taste within. The cake was decent (I mean it's LaRocca), but again the Belgium chocolate drizzle brought the magic home. My friend enjoyed his sundae and said that the portion was large enough for two people (so am FYI if you have a bird stomach). The waitressing was a little strange with two of them serving our table (perhaps one was in training),however both were pleasant staff and made our experience solid with some good customer service. Will return. read more

I really like this place they have great deserts. It's kind of expensive, but it's worth it. The positions are very big. Crêpe are a dollar cheaper than waffles. This location has easy parking. It's very loud and busy. You have to wait a little to get your table, but you can call in and reserve a table. read more

Where do I start ? I've been here many times in the past and the service gets worse and worse. Party of three arrived at the door. Hostess and waiter Tylen were the only good thing that happened on this visit. We were quoted 30 minutes wait, it ended up being 15. Great ! Our waiter Tylen came by and was very personable and happy, unlike the rest of the waiters we've had to deal with. We ordered a tea with milk and a latte. Tea arrived without milk and had to wait for it. Ordered a simple cheesecake and strawberries, crepes with banana and Nutella and a banana split. Cheesecake arrived, 15 minutes went by and nothing else arrived. Two waiters walked by asking how everything was , both times we told them we were missing two out of three dishes. Their answer, " it's coming ". 35 minutes went by and I got fed up with waiting so I told the other waiter working to cancel my banana split. Latte was cold and almost finished. No apologies but just a simple " oh I see it, it's there". Tylen came later on to apologize and told us that 3 out of 4 "cooks " in the kitchen were brand new and had never worked on a Friday night during rush hour. Experience was once again ruined since only two out of three people ended up having desert. Bill came and they had the audacity to charge me for the only thing I had at their establishment, my $7.00 latte. The crepes were discounted but considering it was me who didn't get to enjoy the dessert, it was very disappointing. Here are some pointers Cafe Demetre's . Coming from somebody who works at real restaurant where we take pride of what we do and and the products we serve, take notes : * if you indeed are running a weak kitchen for the night with 3 out of 4 so called cooks, inform the customers, so at least we know what's happening behind the curtains as we wait for almost 45 minutes for a simple dessert. * in our order in particular, two out of the three items were cold items, why not just make the crepes first and once the crepes are ready, place the frozen cheesecake with the strawberries on a plate... as the other one scoops three ice cream scoops, slice a banana and puts some whipped cream on top and send everything together at the same time. It's not rocket science. I understand that maybe our expectations were a bit higher, I mean... who expects to get all desserts to arrive at the same time so all guests get to enjoy them. But due to the Mickey Mouse operation they seem to be running at this so called restaurant, this was my last visit. I want to end this review with praising the Hostess working yesterday and Tylen of course who couldn't have apologized enough for the screw up. His colleague ( chubbier version of Tylen ) needs a lesson on customer service and customer recovery as well. read more

It's always a good time at Demetres - there's something for every kind of sweet tooth lover here! I've been to this particular location both with family/friends and on dates and it never fails to be the cherry on top of my day. The decor is cute chic and the menu gets a makeover by local artists every month to match the seasonal items. The crepes are great. The cake (shipped from none other than La Rocca) is decadent. The icecream is phenomenal. The world simply needs more Demetres read more

Waited 15-20 minutes when there were available tables. Hostesses were more into themselves than seating customers. All of the waiters and waitresses look, act, and talk like zombies. Hot chocolate arrived NOT hot. When we asked them to fix it, they brought the same thing back but just microwaved. My crepe came half on the waiters hand and on the table than on the plate itself. After paying, waiter nor the 2 hostesses said thank you for bye. Save yourself the trouble and don't bother coming here. It's not worth the atmosphere or price. Just wanted to update my review with further comments. After posting my negative review, Vice President of Demetres reached out via email and phone call. He spent over 20 minutes listening and going through the evening I had with his restaurant. Although my experience the one evening wasn't great, the way Demetres handled the complaint and addressed the issues was top notch. Hoping some changes are made to improve the service and I would give this place another chance based on the follow up I had from the company. read more

Service was much to be desired. Granted it was busy but it took a while to get service more than understandable. The flavour were what I was most upset about. Chocolate scoops came in cups with a slice of waffles and the only thing that tasted good was the waffles. Chocolate ice cream tasted fake as if they had mixed in some cocoa powder for extra kick, though it wasn't quite mixed in. Price is normal for a typical dessert place but definitely not worth the price considering the taste and service. read more

Sugar, sugar and more sugar. What would be nice is if there was more variety on the ridiculously busy menu. I know that Caffe Demetre is for sweets but it would be nice if there were a few extra options that were of the sweet persuasion but less likely to make you a diabetic. This is an eyes before stomach place! read more

placed an order for take out, 3 pieces of cake. They forgot 1. I called when I got back to my hotel and noticed to try and get a refund since I didn't feel like walking all the way back. After putting me on hold for 10 min they said they couldn't. So I walked back. Since I was there I decided to just take the cake over the refund. The cake came with ice cream so they made me a fresh one. I asked if I could have the old one since there was a homeless guy outside my hotel, they wouldn't give it to me. After first screwing up my order then not being able to give me a refund and making me walk back they rather throw out food then give it to a person in need. read more

I'm always a fan of Caffe Demetre. The best feature of this specific one at Dufferin is the decoration of the place. I love the high ceiling and the decor walls. The staff is very nice too. The only downside is that is always crowed when I'm there. So it becomes noisy and busy. That's why I gave 4 stars. There's a parking lot available. read more

The desserts we ordered looked as good as they tasted, great. The decor was looked upon as an odd jumble of lighting and objects on the walls, looked like they threw a supplier catalogue at the wall and ceiling and used those pages. We got there just before the evening rush and the order took a long time to be taken. Yes I was asked just after being seated but my party didn't join me until a moment later. It then took a long time, long enough to notice. Once ordered the items arrived in good time. Almost had to ask for the bill too. These small issues could have got us out of there as much as fifteen minutes earlier and allowed some of those now waiting for seating, a place. read more

I have mixed feelings. I've gone here a few times and tried different things and have had varying experiences. My favourite dessert I got was called the pomme pilot. It was like having a really good warm apple crumble on top of a waffle with vanilla ice cream. Everything was good that visit and I would get this again. Other times I have gotten sundaes where the ice cream has arrived half melted or the red velvet cake which was consistently dry. Also their whipped cream is unsweetened and they put it on everything. I don't like it and nether does anyone else I've ever gone with. They defiantly have some good items on the menus but for me it's always been a hit or miss which sucks. Their prices are decent for the amount of food you get. read more

Demetres - Pomme pilot on a waffle - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here after dinner with a friend and my fiance. We were greeted quickly and our orders were promptly taken. My fiance got an earl grey tea. My friend and I got the tongue depressor crepe and I ordered a side of mango sorbet for the fiance. It's called a wrecking ball, in case you're wondering and it costs $4, which isn't bad for good quality ice cream, or in this case, sorbet. Huge scoop. The tea came with a beautiful presentation. It even came with a little information card about earl grey tea (where it was discovered, who drank it, if it's caffeinated, etc). My fiance asked for honey with his tea and our server gladly got it for him. The tongue depressor crepe comes with brownie pieces, dark chocolate ice cream, white chocolate buttons, and a chocolate drizzle. Total indulgement. Generous scoop of ice cream and a fair amount of toppings. My friend and I couldn't finish the crepe. I love how we are given chocolate when the bill comes. As if we didn't just eat enough sweets, here's another sweet for you to eat! I loved the decor of this location. Very eclectic and just fun. Nice, victorian style couches with funky clocks everywhere. Like, who thinks of these things?! And the servers wear suspenders. Um, adorable! read more

I'm lactose intolerant so I tried the Ariana Sundae. It's vegan and made with Coconut Sorbetto. Most importantly, It was delicious and I can't believe it's not made with milk. I had trouble finishing it because I'm not use to eating that much ice cream/desert. It's good for sharing. The building is accessible and close to Orfus Rd outlets and Yorkdale Mall. My only concern is I wish there were more vegan options that included crepes or cakes. I hope they expand. read more
