I rarely order hot chocolate beverage at restaurants bc Ive always believed it was a rip off. That was until I went there wirh my Godson an hour before his birthday dinner. I didn't wany to get too full so I ordered a dark hot chocolate with a toasted marshmallow, a red velvet cake with vanilla ice cream to share. The ice cream scoop was gigantic and velvety. Cake was solid and my hot chocolate was creamy with just a hint of sweetness. Both items were presentable too! read more

One of many dessert restaurants in Downtown Markham. I ordered the Splitsonian Liege Waffle, which is banana, strawberries, Nutella, vanilla ice cream on a yeast-based waffle. The fruits looked and tasted really fresh, and the vanilla ice cream portion was enormous (see photo)! The waffle, however, wasn't anything interesting, was rather firm, and tasted a bit bland. The service wasn't fast nor efficient, and it took a while for me to order, and get my food, even with a reasonable amount of customers in the restaurant at the time. Overall, if you're free on time, and looking for a haute dessert in a restaurant an upscale feel to it, I'd recommend this spot. read more

Demetres Downtown Markham - The dessert (ice cream portion is huge!) - Desserts Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Pretty good place for hangout and chill with friends. Can't get my favourite crepe anywhere else: strawberry banana with Nutella. To top it off chocolate ice cream?!!!?? What do you think??!! Isn't it delicious! I honestly love how cute and girly they have renovated this new demetres! Absolutely amazing!!! Not impressed at all this time they had our food left at the counter for 5-10 mins as I kept my eyes on my order I saw ppl just walking around. I could of had my dessert and even finished it by then. read more

When I saw Demetres opened 10 minutes away from me, I made it a mission to check it out the next day. :D I originally thought this opened in the Cineplex plaza but it is actually located across the street...so if you parked on the wrong side be prepared to run across the street. Be careful though! The decor of this restaurant is delightfully bright, full of pastels colours, and florals. The chairs and the seating of the restaurant were plentiful and spacious. I ordered the pomme pilot with Roché ice cream and it more than satisfied the sweet tooth. The ice cream scoop was very generous and the apple pie and crumbles covered most of the crepe. The crepe did get soggy near the end, but you can ask for the ice cream to be served separately from the crepe. Also, we ordered the Nutella milkshake and omg, it was like drinking melted Nutella. Sooo good, but way too much chocolate after eating the giant scoop of roché ice cream. read more

Probably one of the worst service locations I've ever been to. Waited over an hour for our dessert and all the orders were made incorrectly. We ordered 4 kids scooped ice cream only 3 came. Of course the other kid was unhappy. I ordered moo lala and only the waffle arrived ... my brother in law ordered a waffle and his came in crepe. To top it off we were celebrating a birthday - the birthday girls order came out without the candle or the song. If you're looking for disappointment this is the place to be! read more

Ever since I moved to downtown Markham, I've been seeing this place always busy, so decided to give it a try. I got the white chocolate ice cream and honey vanilla ice cream with French crepe and strawberries. I find the white chocolate ice cream too sweet, I was hoping it would taste like the ones at D-SPOT which is really good! But the honey vanilla one was just right. I would definitely come back to try their other desserts! read more

The desserts comes in a huge portion (when you order crepes) I definitely couldn't finish it myself and I really love sweets. The desserts are in a much sweeter side. The plating is really cute and pretty! And the interior is colourful definitely good for a date night. The service was good 5/5. It is kind of pricey if you can't finish your food! I would personally just share a plate :) read more

Went for desserts with my family on a busy Saturday. We had to join the waitlist but thankfully we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. We ordered a variety of desserts. My personal favourites were the matchamatics, matcha say, and the puddin on the ritz. As you can tell, I love matcha. All the desserts were presented well and tastes really good. Maybe because it was really busy but the ice cream scoops were smaller than usual and the Belgian waffle was not as crispy. Aside from that, the place was also very spacious and clean, and the service was pretty good. One of my go too spots for crepes and waffles. read more

I love Demetres so much! It's always been a go to dessert place for me and my friends. There are many things I wanna try on the menu, but my usual go to is the Blush Waffle. So good! This time, I went with a friend, it wasn't too busy as it was mid afternoon! We decided to order a waffle but the Pomme Pinot (I think that's what it's called?). It was delicious. It tasted like a warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream and a nice warm waffle under it. I would definitely have it again and maybe this will be my go to dessert at Demetres now. Service was amazing as well. Our server was very attentive and would come to check up on us! Overall Demetres will always be my go to for dessert! read more

The food was really good! I ordered pretty in blush (strawberry ice cream topped with lots of strawberry and white chocolate sauce) and the plate was huge! Definitely need to share this with someone. The dessert is plated really beautifully with a swipe of white chocolate sauce on the bottom and very generous amount of ice cream and fruits. I think I missed strawberries season though, as the strawberries were no longer sweet but that's ok. The customer service was good, we were checked up on often and we were allowed to choose our seats too. Definitely would come again! read more

Strawberries are the superior fruit change my mind. . Absolutely DROOLING over this waffle from @demetres OVERFLOWING with strawberries . DEMETRES Belgian waffle, strawberry royale ice cream, fresh strawberries, strawberry coulis . 4/5 . I love Demetres! They're my go-to dessert place for my friends and I. There's plenty of parking nearby, and these past few times I went there hasn't even been a wait. The belgian waffles are so crisp, light, and airy. They're a dollar more than the French crêpes, but definitely worth it! The dessert featured definitely satisfied my sweet tooth the strawberries were big, sweet, and fresh, and the warm waffle underneath was one of the best I've had I think they've changed their menu since I ordered this. Now, you must either get this same order with honey vanilla ice cream (the last straw) or white chocolate sauce (blush). . $16.50 180 Enterprise Blvd read more

This restaurant is childhood. I remember coming with friends back in high school and was sad to learn it closed down. I must say, this new location is much bigger and well lit in comparison. We came on a Saturday evening with a group of 8. We surprisingly did not have to wait long to be seated. We ordered a selection of ice cream waffles and coffee (tip - free refills for coffee!). All were very filling and delicious. I ordered the Moo La La ice cream waffles which was a little sweet for my liking. I suggest you share with another as the portion sizes are quite big! read more

Beautiful pastel renovation since I was last here. The staffs here are very pleasant. The menu has changed with tweaks here and there but still have a lot of their popular items. Came here as a part of 4. The atmosphere is nice, desserts are not overly sweet but I wished the tea I ordered came in a larger cup. read more

Been to demetres several times now, each time has been enjoyable. This time I decided to order the strawberry waffle with a hot milk chocolate drink. The strawberries on the waffle were sweet and fresh, the strawberry ice cream topping the waffle wasn't too sweet, just the right level of sweetness. The waffle this time wasn't as crunchy though, but the waffle itself had a nice sweet flavor to it. For the milk chocolate drink I was able to substitute the milk with soy, which is appreciated a lot. The drink itself isn't too sweet and it's a nice thickness. Service was good, very attentive consistently checking in on us and also very polite. The prices for the waffles are very fair considering how much you get. One portion could honestly feed 2 people. I can never finish 1 by myself. Overall, I would rate them 5/5. read more

Highly overpriced and service is horrible! The service is lackluster. You have to ask for everything. We asked our server what are some popular items on the menu and he *pointed* at 3 things on my menu. He did it so quick that I didn't even focus on the first one before he moved to the next so I totally missed what he was pointing to. Not to mention the other guests around the table couldn't see what the server was pointing at on my menu. Normally a waiter actually talks to answer your question verbally so that all guests around the table can hear his recommendations. He also left before we were able to order. He was young (like high school age) so I don't blame him, but if you're hiring young kids you do need them to have some sort of social skills and experience talking with people so that you can be comfortable when communicating with strangers. They probably dont train the staff that well. You have to ask for everything because there is no initiative or effort on behalf of the staff / waiters. For example, spoons for your ice cream. Also, one of our orders for an ice cream float came out way before the rest of the deserts so...the float had melted quite a bit until we got to all eat together when the other deserts came out. Timing in the kitchen is important and this is another sign that told me the staff and kitchen is a bit novice in what they're doing. In terms of pricing, to give you an idea, one scoop of ice cream is $9 and one banana split is $25. You're probably better off elsewhere unless you are in the mood to throw away some money and tip for something that is all fluff. read more

Anyone who grew up in the GTA will either have heard of or been to Demetres before. It has always been a staple location to meet friends over desserts and definitely an oldie but goodie. This new location opened up last summer and I've been back multiple times already. The renovations are excellent and everything about this place screams fun - from the pastel colours and bright ambiance to the dripping effect of the walls. It almost feels like you're in a Katy Perry music video! Now the desserts are a bit pricey (with crepes and waffles costing you $15-16 each) but the portion sizes are pretty big so they could easily be shared. There's a good variety of options on the menu and while they have preset recommendations, you could always switch out some of the toppings and customize it yourself! My favourite item is definitely Moo La La because the roché ice cream is absolutely delicious and complemented beautifully with crunchy praliné croquant, bananas, and nutella. Overall, I found that the dessert wasn't too sweet and it was a nice treat to sneak in post-dinner without feeling too heavy/stuffed! Demetres is by far one of the better dessert places in the GTA and is definitely worth checking out! read more

This is one of the worst crepes I have ever tasted in my life the crepe tasted raw and the strawberries I believe were either rotten or turning bad. Everything just seemed overly sweet. They should stop opening these garbage places and taking peoples money. I can make a ten times better crepe at home for the amount they are charging these people are thieves. read more

Demetres Downtown Markham - Worst crepe - Desserts Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came there for dessert on a Thursday night. The place wasn't too busy. First time coming here and noticed the decor was very colourful. The flower wall in the back looks good from afar, however when we sat close to it, you can tell they just took a photo and blown it up. Very blurry up close and not as pretty looking. The pac man things hanging from the ceiling was a bit odd. Not sure if that was meant to look like flowers. Although the decor is nice, does not seem too practical. Some of the bigger tables had long booth chairs, however not back, can't lean on it. The tables with the baby pink is nice, but perhaps they used the wrong material, as the table already has stains on it. Not a good look. Moving on to the dessert! My friend and I ordered the tongue depressor. Perfect for sharing as it comes with a full waffle and a huge scoop of ice cream! It also had brownie and whites chocolate chips. Overall the dessert was just O-K. The waffle was personally not warm enough when we got it. It could've have been a little bit more crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. But it wasn't. The chocolate ice cream was okay. Nothing special. The brownie was overly sweet. I feel like if they had bananas in this one it would complement the dessert a bit better to just balance out the flavours. For $16.50, I really don't believe it was worth the price. Service was good. There are a lot of better dessert places. I will not be in a rush to come back here. read more

Demetres Downtown Markham - Desserts Near Me - Markham, Ontario

One of the best Demetres locations that I have been to! Also probably one of my favourite dessert spots. I've been here numerous times now, and each time it's about the same experience! To begin, the dessert here is AMAZING! I've tried many items on the menu, however my favourites would be the following: - Splitsonian on a French crepe - Moo La La on a Belgian waffle - Piece Talks (under Cakes) - Brownie Points (under Cakes) My all time favourites are Piece Talks and Brownie Points, both of them are a must try for sure! The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service is always SO slow, even when they aren't super busy! The wait times to order, find a server and to receive your order can be crazy at times. Don't get me wrong, the servers here are nice, but it shouldn't take 3 times for someone to ask for water for the server to bring it over! However, I definitely recommend this location! Super clean too! read more

I love their decor, really spacious, with different floral patterns as the design element. The back kitchen was decorated with mint green tile which a really nice backdrop. But wow, isn't Demetres a little bit pricey with most dessert over $13. I ordered the one for $16.50 plus tax which was the key lime bling with waffle. The key lime sorbet was just delightful and refreshing; however, I felt that this some how did not go well with strawberry. I think might they can try to pair it with raspberry which would yield a better flavour profile. The server that was really professional and friendly. I could tell she was getting a little annoyed by our table, but she kept being polite. Good job! I also really like the little post card given to each of us as a little gift. I thought that was a really nice touch. I wish that they make smaller portion and lower their price point a little bit. At end, maybe they would make more money, because less people would share. read more

Wow, I don't like sweets but this place is amazing- IT'S A MUST HAVE. Ice Cream: Chocolate and Vanilla 10/5 Liège Waffles: The Tongue Depressor 10/5 Belgian Waffles 3.5/5 My friends were telling me how good this place was and that they had it three days in a row but I was reluctant to try since I don't have a sweet tooth. Luckily one of my friends insisted that we had to go before we leave Toronto and now I can't stop thinking about it! The Liège waffle was almost crispy on the outside but soft and dense on the inside so many textures but it was so amazing. It wasn't too sweet because it was topped with dark chocolate but to neutralize the chocolatey sweetness from the brownies I recommend going with their vanilla ice cream! Their ice creams are also dense and flavourful but not too sweet. Their description of the ice cream is silky smooth and honestly it is spot on. I will definitely visit again when I'm in town! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and was met with beautiful decor and everything was simply beautiful. I was grateful that there was adequate social distancing between tables and it had quite a spacious interior. I ordered 2 items off of their winter menu, the dark haze which is an iced mocha drink and the formula bun. The formula bun was wonderfully plated and simply beautiful the look at. It featured a fudge brownie bits which were very flavorful and soft and chewy. The ice cream was dulce and banana flavored. It was a tad too sweet in my opinion however the bun pastry was the best part of the dish. It was super flaky and buttery and helped to balance the sweetness of the dessert. The dark haze drink was very disappointing. It was made from espresso and Nutella. I could barely taste either and the Nutella clumped at the bottom of the drink making it hard to drink as it clogged the straw. Parking was super easy at this location and was not an issue. Service was quite slow with only one server and it was hard to catch her attention most of the time. read more

Great dessert place!! We tried the Moo La La on a Belgian waffle and Pretty in Pink on a liege waffle. Their house made strawberry ice cream was amazing and they definitely did not cheap out with 3 huge scoops! The quality and the portion sizes were A++ ! And the beautiful ambiance and friendly and attentive service made our night even better. Even though it was busy, there is plenty of room and it's not too crowded, and we never felt rushed. Great experience. Will definitely be back to try other items!! read more

I went to Demetres tonight around 9:30 PM and it was so packed! We ended up waiting for about 30 minutes for a table for 3 but I didn't mind the wait because I knew it'd be worth it. We sat down and quickly decided what we wanted since we wanted our desserts fast and flagged down a server; she came quick considering how busy it was. We got the Pomme Pilot and the New Fork City which were both delicious. The Pomme Pilot was served with a white chocolate silk ice cream and warm apple crisp; this was so good and definitely a favorite, I really liked the ice cream! The New Fork City was very unique with its Vietnamese coffee ice cream, but I think the rest was decent. I'm definitely coming back next time to try the other desserts! If I could I'd give Demetres a 4.5 because they are on the pricey side, but since I can't my rate has to be a 5! read more

Demetres will always be the king of desserts for me, but this particular location really takes the cake (& crown)! THE FOOD: As with all other Demetres, the menu includes old favourites, new concoctions and seasonal items to tickle your sweet tooth. The crepes are moist, the fruit is fresh and the icecream is decadent. I personally always get a black tea on the side to cut some of the sugary feeling in my veins so I can try a lot without overdosing. Their portion size has decreased over the years, going from massive shareables noone can finish to just perfect for 2. THE SERVICE: Came on a weekday evening with my sibling and was immediately greeted and seated by the hostess who doubled as our waitress. She was funny and carried on an enjoyable banter with us throughout our stay. We never felt rushed, and when her shift ended she introduced us to someone else who would continue to look after our needs. The facilities are clean, and there are multiple all-gender washrooms on site. THE ATMOSPHERE: There are only 2 Demetres where I've found the decor to be modern and not tacky; the one on Orfus Road and now this! The new Markham location delights with cute and colourful shapes, figures and a floral wallpaper in the back. Perfect way to finish off that date night or just catchup with an old friend and let the sugar high induced giggles out. There is a cacao70 right next door, but unless I'm specifically in the mood for fondu, I've always preferred the wide range of customizable options at Demetres better. read more

Damn..I haven't been to Cafe Demetre's for a loooooong time. At least a good 5 years. So much has changed since then. I have only been to the other location and many good memories were made there so I couldn't wait to try out good desserts again. Located in Downtown Markham across from Cineplex, Cafe Demetre's offers a wide range of desserts from waffles to cheesecakes and drinks as well. The interior was bright and colourful and many seats were available during a weekday afternoon. I usually see that it gets fairly busy during nights when people finish watching a movie and want a quick dessert before going home. I remember back then the menu used to be huge with a ton of options to choose from, but now they have reduced it to about 10 items per category which is disappointing. I believe they should have an option to customize your own dessert per topping as well. Fortunately the portions were still very large and I had to share with my friend during this visit. My friend and I shared the Sweet Car Named Devour on a belgian waffle and I also ordered the drink called Stormy Weather. Both were really good although Stormy Weather was a tad too sweet for my liking. I probably won't get that again since I'm not a big fan of caramel. Their desserts are quite pricey coming in at $15.50 (crepe) and $16.50 (waffle) before tax so I do recommend sharing the desserts with your friend if you're tight on budget. I will be coming back to this location to hang out with friends though! read more

This Demetres is the best one I've been to. Not only is the dessert good but the interior here was designed in such a way that it actually is in line with the concept of this franchise. Upon walking in, I love this interior compared to the old, and cramped Demetres. It's big, with high ceilings, super colourful, and is very bright. Okay, enough with the interior and onto the desserts here. If you're coming here you should already know that it is highly recommended to share a dessert here. It's a lot, especially the crepe or waffle plates with a mountainous scoop of ice cream. It is also somewhat pricey considering it's just dessert, but they do them super well here. We tried the streetcar named devour. A chocolate ice cream scoop with fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce on a waffle. The waffle was freshly made and was still warm and fluffy when served. The ice cream here was well made; there's a 'hardness' about their ice cream here. It's not soft serve and it's better like this. The ice cream was really rich and cream, and very smooth. There was a lot of it, and that's a good thing! The strawberries really surprised me here; I didn't expect them to be so sweet. They were definitely fresh too because they weren't soft at all. All in all, we really enjoyed demetres and it's nice to have another main player in the dessert game in central Markham! read more
