    Huge portions. Shareable. I enjoy dining here if you need a sweet tooth fix. Hits the spot in the summer

    I've come here for years and I love it! If you're craving desserts this is the right place for you. The crapes are absolutely delicious and they have so many dessert options. The restaurant itself is very cute. Ascetically pleasing. The only thing is sometimes is very busy so the waiters are managing a lot but all of them are very kind and welcoming.

    Banana split - smallest scoops ever and 1.5 banana used

    Ice cream portion is small now. The ratio to crepe or waffle is not good. Honestly they're really gone downhill. Service is good. Ambiance is nothing special. I'm not going to be returning and I used to come pretty regularly.

    The Last Straw Belgian Waffle
    Jenny L.

    Today was a very hot and sunny day, I came here when it just shortly open so it wasn't busy at all. In fact I was the only customer. There were plenty of seatings and the AC was turned on. I was seated immediately and the server was pretty nice and attentive. I ordered the Last Straw Belgian Waffle which consist of vanilla ice cream, strawberry and a strawberry glaze. The waffle was made fresh and kind of melted the ice cream as it was hot. The strawberries were tart and the ice cream balanced it out. Overall I enjoyed this, it was not too sweet and good portion to share between two people.

    Demetres is a cute family restaurant uptown Toronto and feels family style! I got ice cream and waffles and the waffles were so crispy and warm- perfectly complementing the cold ice cream. I got creme Brulee banana, which was caramel sweet and a little crunchy from some granola I believe. it's a perfect sharing size! a really big portion. I loved the plating design of the dessert, decorated with icing sugar and the caramel banana- it was almost too cute to eat! I couldn't finish, but it's definitely a cute Date dessert!

    so yummy! the strawberry ice cream is not too sweet, this location had seating available right away and the server was nice and informative.

    What I loved about this place : The ambience and vibe of the restaurant The menu is absolutely amazing (we ordered Blush and Tongue Depressor) Our server was the sweetest person on planet Loved the quantity offered (one dish can be shared by 2 people easily) What could be better: There was a waiting list as the place was busy but it was not managed appropriately. (We went on V-Day) The matcha isn't great (Do Not Order) Cost for 2 ‍ - $30

    Unbrûlévable Belgian Waffle

    Unbrûlévable Belgian Waffle is a must to try. This location is super busy. Waiting time is approx 30 min.

    Last straw on a crepe
    Marco P.

    I loved the vast options provided on the menu. Even though it was just two people sitting at our table I feel that they have a little bit of everything that will keep people coming back time and time again. We were greeted at the door and then seated quickly. I ordered the last straw on a crepe but substituted the strawberry coulis for Nutella. The food arrived quickly as it was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday and the restaurant wasn't as busy as it usually is. The food looked delicious and tasted just as great. I will definitely be back to order the last straw on a waffle. The customer service was really good. Our waitress came by multiple times to check on us and offer more water. We were pleasantly surprised and will be back for another visit soon.

    Came here Wednesday night after work with my husband after craving for something sweet the whole day. This is our go to spot, super convenient from my workplace. The ambience was nice and modern, which made me feel relaxed after a long day of work. Dessert option is incredible, the selection includes different types of waffles, french crepes, ice cream, parfaits, cakes, sundaes, milkshakes & drinks. There is so many flavours to choose from. The service was quick, even though it's unexpectedly busy for a weekday. Our waiter was very attentive and fast. Dessert was great, very generous portion. There is also lots of parking located on both sides of the store, regardless of which side you'll be coming from.

    Festive winter Belgium waffle (honey vanilla ice cream, salted caramel sauce, bananas and coconut flakes)
    Nicholas D.

    I am a regular customer. Today I tried the seasonal coconut Belgium waffle and it was good. The customer service is always excellent and the food never disappoints. Nice ambiance, good vibes. Not much else to say, this is a staple dessert place for me and the reason my trainer fired me.

    Splitsonian French Crepe
    Amabel S.

    Super excited to try the NEW WINTER MENU from Demetres!! I mean who doesn't love Demetres?! They're best known for delicious waffles, crepes, and ultra premium craft ice cream. Pictured: Monumintal served on Belgian Waffle - You can choose either french crepe, liège waffle or belgian waffle. Served with Winter mint ice cream, fudge brownies, oreo cookie pieces, drizzle with french dark chocolate sauce. I really like the soft waffle and the fudge brownies aren't too sweet. Also, the mint ice cream has a lot of chocolate! WOW Splitsonian French Crepe - the ultimate classic crepe with Chocolate ice cream, banana, strawberries, and nutella A chocolate dream lover Fantastic dessert to end this 2021, hoping 2022 will be better

So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

    I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!

The cube cakes are rich without being overly sweet, and you can tell care went into both texture and balance. They're also filled generously with so much cream!
