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

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

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

Nicely renovated, decor reminds me of a French cafe with tall benched tables and bright colour a. Service was a bit absent, but still enjoyable experience. A lot better than the older location when it looked so run down. read more

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 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

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

We went here on a Tuesday night on a warm winter night and the place was packed! It was very unexpected and we had to wait for about 20 minutes. We've been to Demetre's many times before, but did not expect it to be so busy on a weeknight. We got seated by who I believe was the manager. Unfortunately, he did not keep track of who was in line and they gave our table away to customers who came after us (they were a party of 3 and we were just 2 but we still got a big table). The waffle was great and done in a very timely manner even though the restaurant was very busy. Once our waffle was finished, I asked for the bill and the manager told us the that our meal was on the house because we were kind enough to wait so long! He was a very nice individual and would go back for that reason alone. 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

Giant desserts!!! If you are going to share, choose the waffles. Crepes are big but you can do it! Waffles are worth to share. Milkshakes are also delicious. Be prepared to an overdose of sugar. read more

This is the 2nd Demetre I have been to. And by far my favorite. It is large and spacious. Plenty of friendly staff. Food yummy as always.

Here for a late night dessert with my daughter and sister, we ordered moolala,fifty shades ..the moolala is ok,I'm still looking for the old moolala and the fifty shades is my fave but the size is too small for the price that i paid,it would be too much to make it a tiny bit bigger. The server is good, The last time we went service is bad but this time its good. read more

Welcome to the 1980s. Loved the decade, Hate some of the attitude. With several tables and booths sitting open (guess saving for celebrities or worthy customers?) Told a 20 minute wait, with other patrons also sitting while tables sit unused. Not sure what message this place is trying to send. Too many other choices to spend money , and obviously the message is that serving customers is not as important as looking popular with wait time. Will not waste our time again. Rate 0 for poor customer service/relations. read more

I love this place!!! I really like their desserts The staff is very kind and friendly.

The workers were very sweet, we ordered 1 min to closing without realizing and they were totally ok with it. we felt bad and wanted cancel but they already had it ready for us!!!! Thank you workers!!!!!! 9/27/2020 read more

One of the very few places in North York to get desserts, especially at night. The interior looks great and the waiters/waitresses are really friendly. It's in a great location next to Yorkdale which is nice. The food is pretty good, but nothing too extravagant. Some of the prices for some items such as milkshakes are definitely not worth the buy (you can make better milkshakes at home for much less). This is still a good place for desserts but there isn't too much that's different from you going home and making it yourself- waffles, crepes, ice cream scoops and the like. Go here if you have the time and money, but don't be prepared to make this your "go-to" dessert place. read more

So much better from my previous experience. The manager or business owner had reached out to me after my previous yelp review. I returned since they took the time to. The service was ten times better the second round. The server was attentive and catered to our needs. Our food also came out a lot faster. Great service and quality! I would definetly return to this location! read more

I've been here a couple of times when it was in a slightly different location. It used to be quite small and the menu was quite extensive but now it's much larger and the menu has been streamlined quite a bit. Although I loved the space and didn't like the early 1900's theme that was going on with the decor. I think I also preferred the old menu and things have gotten quite pricey since the last time I was here. A ordered a chocolate milkshake for $8 and my girlfriend got a waffle with ice cream and strawberries for about $18. I have a huge sweet tooth so I obviously enjoyed both dishes. The service was just OK, the waiter left to go atend to someone else while I was paying the bill and left me hanging there for a bit. The men's washroom was also quite wet and filthy when I went in so this place loses points for that. Still, this place isn't bad if you only plan on going once a year or not very frequently. read more

definitely come here if you have a sweet tooth and a big appetite. dining in this restaurant feels very warm and welcoming with the awesome staff and cool food. their menu items are all funny puns, which i very much appreciate. everyone NEEDS to try their ice cream; its made in house and its to die for. also their milkshakes are BOMB. just try everything, too good. read more

Crepes are large and delicious, space is large and comfty, service was slow and prices a bit steep vs other good creperies.

Ok. Food here is good. However these people have no idea how to run a food service business. Outside 30 people waiting for tables. Inside, half the place is empty. With 75% of the tables still have not been cleared. We waited 25 min for a table. The main table in front of us was empty and dirty the entire time. This place needs a real manager. More and more places like this cheap out on management. Sorry, you won't survive without one. Won't be back any time soon. Bye bye. read more

I visited this location with my sister for the first time since the store moved and from the time we enter to the time we left the experience was very impressive and enjoyable. Our host Anthony greated us and we immediately felt welcomed and excited to be there.He was very charming and inviting. After being seated my sister and I were deciding on what to order and our waitress Cassandra was very helpful in sugesting what to ordert. She was very fun and helped create a good experience. I orderdd the pomme pilot and enjoyed ever bit, it was exactly what I wanted. The overall experience with the decor (very Alice in Wonderland) and all the employees was outstanding and I will definitely be going back. read more

I and my close friend have been many times, and trust me this is the best demetres in the town in terms of portions, services, ambience and setting. It gets busy on weekends in evenings (15-25 minutes) but that can be understood. read more

My wife and I ordered the same thing and they brought them 6 minutes apart. Had apple pie with ice cream. Ice cream was good. Large portions but for $14, I would expect better than microwave reheated pie. Makes the pastry soft. Probably won't return. read more

My wife and I were just there. I had what seemed to be a watered down cappuccino that was served with some powder on the froth that I did not ask for and without any sugar. I had to flag a waiter to get some. The cake we shared was the Caramel Fudge Brownie Cheese Cake which was part of the combo of coffee and cake offered on the menu. I had to wait much too long before it was served. Given the amount of people in the restaurant and the staff who seemed to be fooling around instead of doing something productive could have been more attentive and quicker not to mention alert (re sugar). The cake itself also was appealing to the eye yet was overwhelmingly sweet that it was hard to taste the chocolate and actual cheese. It was quite disappointing. I might as well have emptied a couple of packages in a spoon and ate it. It would have been the same thing. The seating (sofas) were a nice touch for atmosphere but totally uncomfortable. The chairs are a better choice. I was disappointed and after driving by on many occasions I will continue to do so and also dissuade others from spending their time and money there. The experience and food leaves something to be desired. read more

By far the best demetres! Very well kept and nicely decorated! Staff are always friendly, service is fast and food is good!

Worse service ever! We were a group of 4 & looking forward to having dessert all week. We even looked up the menu online before so we knew exactly what we were ordering. Our server Dante yawns when he comes to our table. I guess he was up late the night before or just bored of his job. He took our orders which consists of 1 bread pudding, 1 coco ono - we changed the honey vanilla ice cream to chocolate, 1 splitsonia - also asked to change the honey vanilla ice cream to chocolate & 2 teas 1 mocha. He read the order back to us & we said it was correct. Dante came back out & apologized as they were out of bread pudding. He started naming out other items on the menu. I had to ask for the menu so we can see exactly what to order. We asked for the tongue depressor. Someone else came out a few minutes later and told us there was no more brownies for the tongue depressor. We told him about that we also ordered the bread pudding and was told that it was also not available. He advised us that the bread pudding has been out for a couple of weeks as their supplier has not brought them any. So why didn't our first waiter Dante tell us this in the first place?? We asked to just put strawberries instead. We get the coco ono with VANILLA ice cream instead of the chocolate and the tongue depresser with strawberries. We called Dante over and asked him to change the ice cream to chocolate. He then argues with us and says we did not ask for chocolate ice cream. He then checks his notes & sees that we did in fact change the ice cream flavor. I simply advised him that he should not argue with a customer & that he should have advised us that there was no bread pudding from the start. He said no one told him. We left it at that not wanting to keep him from his other customers. After we shared the coco ono & tongue depresser we advised him that we had not received the spitsonia and 1 tea. We asked him to cancel it and take it off our bill. He apologized and asked if it was 1 bill or split. We said 1 bill. He repeated 1 bill but came back with 2 bills. I then asked to speak with the manager. I explained to the manager everything that happened. He apologized and offered us all a piece of cake to take home. We were not looking for a freebie, but very much appreciated, but rather someone to train Dante better. read more

Great desserts but evening time usually has a lineup to get in and service is a bit slower due to all the tables full, but worth the wait

Fantastic desserts. Expect a wait but worth every penny. Massive servings can easily serve two people so the price is the very fair. Good atmosphere for a relaxed date. read more

I went there lay night with my family , it's really warm and cozy , the food was very but however the service wasn't friendly at all. I would definitely come back but hope to get better service . read more

THIS PLACE IS UNBELIEVABLE. All their desserts looks exactly like their photos online and they taste incredible. I love that they don't really sweeten their whipped cream so it adds a nice touch to everything else that's really sweet. I got the cheesecake with the apple crumble and MAN, was it good!! I will definitely be going back there soon. read more

They`ve really changed their look, the atmosphere is very nice. I really enjoy coming to this place and this location. The selection on the menu is great and parking is not too difficult read more

Went here on a Sunday night, around 9. The place was packed,but we were quickly seated within 2 minutes. The food came very fast as well. They had a glorious amount of options. The ice cream is made in house and is simply delicious. Server was great and had a great attitude. Will definitely be going there again! read more

I was there 20mins ago, but bad service ever. I didn't expect like this horrible services and terrible manners. Got ruined my day. I couldn't order anything during 40mins. When we got seated, nobody serves to us, No cares, No servers, worst of worst service ever. Actually, it wasn't look like a busy when I saw other tables. So, I was look at some servers, but nobody cares. They were look like "I'm not your server". Terrible service ever and I got wasted my time and so embarrased and was so horrible experience ever. When I complained about this to server(maybe manager), she said only "sorry". That's it. If I were she, I wouldn't say only "sorry". At least, I would explain the situations and tried to make guest 100% satisfaction. However, she looked like "I don't care you will come back or not. because we are busy enough and everyone likes this place". Don't want to recommend this horrible place. Worst of worst service ever. Hope their manager and their owner can read this. Because of them, I joined this yelp app today right away. read more
