    Pomme pilot crepe

    We ordered the Pomme Pilot crepe and it was delicious! Tasted just like an apple pie. The crepe was fresh and the apples were sweet and flavourful. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect pairing. The service was excellent. We were seated and had our order taken immediately. Definitely one of our favourite demetres location.

    Decided to give this place a visit for a nostalgic dessert hang after years. Everything is pretty much the same in terms of vibes, service, and portions. Their menu has remained the same, but this time around I noticed a few trendy items which was fun. They also have 4 different kinds of waffles to choose from too -- from Belgian, liege, and croffle. I ordered their new ube flavour (not sure if this is a limited time offering) croffle. I was so glad I got the croffle because I really enjoyed the chewy texture. I tried my friend's liege and it was really heavy and had a bit more of a savoury taste. The ice cream scoops they give are also huge. The price is slightly higher, I guess it's the inflation after all these years... after tax and tip the one waffle cost me almost $30 which to me is insane for dessert. Overall their stuff still hits the spot.. very fun selection of flavours and a cute vibe for a dessert hangout. We came shortly after a pretty big dinner which was our first mistake. Make sure to come hungry because their waffles are huge and filling.

    It's been ages since I came back here. The service was great; we were always asked if everything was good or if we needed anything. I have to say, no matter what time, this place is busy and crowded with people. Good thing we were able to be seated. We ordered two different desserts to try. I must say that both desserts were delicious, but the Ube one was much better. The matcha one with the white chocolate sauce made it a bit too sweet, in my opinion. You have to try it for yourself to see, as everyone's taste buds are different. Also, even though it was crowded with people, it wasn't loud, and we were able to talk amongst ourselves. Even when I had my baby there, the noise level was decent.

    Always a great time to be at demetres! We went after watching a movie with two other people. On the outside, they had a lot of empty tables but when we arrived, there was a long long waiting. Not sure exactly why? We waited probably about 20 minutes and when we got inside, there were still empty tables so not sure what was happening there. Decor was alright, there's an open kitchen and you can see the staff making your waffles and crepes right there. We ordered the fudge waffle and it did not disappoint - fudgey, gooey and paired perfectly well with the warm waffle. It was a great complement to the salty and buttery popcorn we had had during the movie.

    the service is okay and we didnt have to wait long probably because we went there @ 10pm. Since it's fairly new, the place looks neat and clean. But let's talk about the desserts... $22.5 for Belgian waffle $17.5 for Parfait Was the price justifiable? Hmm... no, i dont think so. I dont think a $56 bill is justifiable with risking my sugar levels in this cafe. Will I go back again? If im a teen and dont care about i eat and how much money I spend, probably yes but now that I know better, No. Just a true and honest review for this chain.

    Opened late night and as we were debating which dessert place to go, so glad to have stumbled upon Demetres! We saw it full of people at 10:30pm and knew we had to try especially when we saw "best ice cream ever" We got the crepe w/ banana and Dulce ice cream! LIFECHANGING Their menu was extremely cute and had so many different flavors! Not ordering the whole menu was difficult. Must try if you're in downtown Markham!

    Demetres is definitely a very delicious dessert spot, but we've noticed that the prices have increased quite drastically over the years. With that being said, the crepes are still VERY delicious, especially with the homemade ice cream. We ordered the Apple Pom crepe to share, and it satisfied our sweet tooth craving. It was very busy and chaotic inside when we went (around 10pm on a weekday night), and only one server was on the floor, so service was a bit slow in terms of placing our orders and getting the bill. However, the space inside is huge and can definitely fit lots of people, and is also very family friendly.

    The desserts are SERIOUSLY SO SWEET. Neither my friend nor I could finish what we ordered because the sweetness became a little intolerable. I can see how that can appealing for some people though! The ice cream was very creamy and rich. The brownie was pure sugar though. I'll likely come back in the future when I am craving something very sweet!

    The best part of fall? Cozying up with something sweet and indulgent! Demotes Fall Menu is something I tried and it's packed with warm, comforting flavors that capture the essence of the season. Every seasonal menu is designed by local Toronto artists !!! My favorite was their Fashionably Latte Belgian Waffle with hazelnuts. I love their ice creams and Thats why I went here. So, if you were to boy pint ice creams, try their ice creams from stores as well :). ! Location: Demetres They have multiple locations as well in Toronto to try :) ...

    Moo lala waffle

    One of the best dessert spots in the GTA. The waffles are to die for, I had the moo lala. The server was kind and prompt, they were busier and so it did take a bit of time for us to receive the food, but my friend and I were chatting so the timing of everything was great. Presentation was on point, very instagram worthy. The quality of the dessert as mentioned was excellent, probably my go to dessert spot in the GTA.

    We frequently dine at this location, but tonight we decided to order from Uber Eats for the first time. We tried the Splitsonian French crepe, and unfortunately, it didn't meet expectations. The banana was unripe and very bitter, which was disappointing since the menu only offered two fruit options: banana and strawberries. How could they serve unripe fruit? There wasn't enough Nutella to balance out the bitterness, and I didn't enjoy it at all. I called Demetres to express my concern, and the response was less than helpful. The staff apologized, and after waiting for any further assistance, I was told they would inform the kitchen staff and advised me to contact Uber directly about my dissatisfaction. The call ended abruptly without any meaningful resolution.

    They say a good salesman can sell ice to an eskimo. In this case, sell ice cream to Canadians while it's freezing and snowing outside. This place is a favorite everytime we visit this area. The service is great and the food is delightful. The kids love it and so do we. I imagine this gets packed in the summer.

    From a friend's recommendation and it was worth going to. Parking - small parking lot available near by but additional parking available going up to locations parkade. Not meter parking in the parking area Ambience - clean, colourful, great atmosphere Service - only one person working for everything on a Thursday I went with my family but the service was still great. The person was tentative with smile and readily available. Food - dessert was . Had the following *Choc This Way - ice cream in a waffle cone with chocolate brownie and dark chocolate sauce *Split Personality - banana split with 4 different flavours of ice cream and the works *Earl Grey Raspberry - earl grey tea base with swirls of raspberry jam and crunchy earl grey streusel Would recommend and go back again.

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

My cousin and I arrived shortly after opening on New Year's Eve. The cafe has a small interior with minimal seating, mostly bench seating along the wall with small round coffee tables. Even though there was only one barista working that morning, she was efficient at taking orders and making drinks despite several orders happening at once. We did not feel like we were waiting very long. I ordered a pour-over with the Finca El Paraiso Peach Colombian beans, which use a thermal shock washed process. That was something I had not heard of before. The tasting notes listed nectarine, tropical fruit, and caramel, and it was recommended since I was looking for something more out of the ordinary. I enjoyed the wilder flavor profile, but it was hard to fully appreciate because the coffee tasted overly diluted. The barista mentioned she used a 15g to 250g bean-to-water ratio, which is higher than how I normally enjoy my pour-overs. My cousin ordered a flat white with whole milk that was very creamy with strong espresso notes. We also ordered a matcha latte for my other cousin, which was apparently too creamy. Overall, the beans themselves were good, but the pour-over leaned watery for my personal preference. The bag of beans used for the pour-over was priced at $32, which is only a bit more than double the cost of the pour-over itself. In hindsight, I felt slightly ripped off and should have just bought the beans instead.

It's more like a roasting factory dedicated to perfecting coffee. I ordered a pot of hand-drip "Melona." The first sip wasn't particularly amazing. But it was very clean. Slowly, the clear fruity aromas of honeydew melon and cantaloupe emerged, not overpoweringly acidic, but rather a gentle, restrained layering. It's the kind of coffee you find yourself drinking the whole pot without even realizing it. The space inside is also a big plus. The front area displays various coffee beans and related products, and a whole wall of transparent glass allows you to see the roasting factory in operation behind it. And their product line is incredibly comprehensive: coffee beans, equipment, instant coffee, canned coffee, espresso, and even ice cream (The most complete I've ever seen) I didn't have time to try many beans today, but I'm already looking forward to the Lychee flavor I'll be ordering in a few weeks More suitable for coffee enthusiasts (especially pour-over lovers) Clean flavor with detail, not the overly pleasing type Perfect for sitting alone for a long time
