It was a beautiful, sunny day and we felt like grabbing some ice cream. There aren't too many options in this area, so it wasn't too difficult a decision to stop into Demetres. After perusing the menu for a few minutes, we finally settled on the Katy Berry ("One Scoop Sundae served with Strawberry Blush Ice Cream, Fresh Strawberries, Belgian White Chocolate Sauce"). It arrived about ten minutes later and certainly looked appealing. And yeah, it's a quality sundae. The strawberries were maybe a little too tart and the white chocolate sauce got way too hard, but otherwise it's a solid concoction. The strawberry ice cream is the highlight, as it's creamy and packed with strawberry flavor. I also quite enjoyed the fresh-tasting cone, and the bites with strawberry and cone were extremely satisfying. The service was friendly and efficient, too. I can see why Demetres is such a popular dessert spot. read more

Demetres - Katy Berry. - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I went on a date to Demetres with my partner for nostalgia as we used to go there in high school. We ordered our favourite - a sundae - the Summertime Fatness - a brownie sundae. It came in a giant glass just like it always did. The presentation was classic with a whip cream and a cherry and waffle cone on top. We were happy with the portion size - the perfect amount for two. It was tasty! The ice cream was rich and delicious and the brownie pieces were fresh. I like that the restaurant was nut safe as this can be hard to find. We went on a weekday evening so it was quiet but pleasant and clean. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. All in all another great date at Demetres! read more

What happened to you demetres? You used to be a relaxed place to hang out and get huge portions of food. Today I came here thinking I was coming to the same chill environment but turns out it's a little more stuffy with small food portions to boot! We ordered the Strawberry Nutella crepe, that came as a small portion and was served on a small plate..with strawberries on the top only, not even on the inside! Talk about basic. All this for the "low" price of $19...needless to say, I left HUNGRY and disappointed. On a positive note, our server was excellent and service was very fast.. I think this is a good place to go for a date, but if you're looking for a place that offers big portions and focuses on classic desserts, then this is not the place for you. read more

The waiter was so nice and patient at taking our orders! So many desserts on their menu i didnt know which one to pick.. the inside is like a diner with tables and chairs along a line and they play nice music (WARNING‼) you will feel the diabetes coming after the firs read more

Omg... best desserts here ever. I got the tongue depressor. Loved it. You definitely won't be able to finish a whole dessert on your own, so be sure to go with a friend. The place is good for kids and families. The service is great! read more

It's been probably 15 years since I last came here. Still exactly as I remembered. The ice cream is rich and there's really no surprises. You know what you're getting and you shouldn't expect anymore or any less. Just a fun place to have a treat when the time is right! read more

Demetres - Apple pie and some brownie thing - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Oh. Hot. DAMN. This Demetre is my JAM. Boyfriend and I stopped because clearly we don't gym and would prefer to eat sweet, succulent dessert instead. We walked in around 9:00 on a Wednesday and it was relatively busy! The waitress was really nice and seated us quickly. Their menus btw, are FANCY. Every time I'm amazed by the graphics because it makes me want to eat the menu itself. Anywho, I ordered the Moo La La with a Belgian Waffle and my boyfriend, I don't remember what he ordered because frankly I was too focused on my own food. We got these within 10 minutes and huba huba, it was quite an intimate moment between myself and my waffle. First glance, it was mesmerizing! Taste and portions were outstanding. Had to hold in tears while eating. 10/10 would recommend again. In any case, I always love going to Demetre, it it's definitely an "occasion" and not something you should spend time here every week. Just from a cost perspective (two items costed us $40 after tips) and your overall heart health, I would recommend coming here maybe once a month. read more

I love this place!! It opens pretty late so a perfect spot after dinner to sit and enjoy some delicious desserts. UPDATE** they discontinued some of their fresh mixed fruit desserts. It's just strawberries and bananas :( I miss their mixed fruit desserts so much (I dropped a star as a result) Their desserts are so awesome. Everything I've had so far is delicious. I love their fruits--- SUPER DUPER FRESH. Every time I come and order a dessert dish with fruits, it's always extremely fresh. I love that about them. If you have any cravings for desserts, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. FYI, if you need the wifi from this place, ask a server!! They'll gladly tell you. read more

Demetres - Piece Talk-- red velvet cheesecake with white chocolate ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Went here on a busy night with two friends to satisfy one of their sweet tooth cravings. We've come here a few times and have always had a good experience. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable while the seating can be a little tight. The servers were attentive and refilled water multiple times. The food was prepared relatively quick given that the place was packed. I ordered the Tongue Depressor on a waffle, cost about $20 including tax and tip. If you love chocolate and have a big appetite (the waffle is big and the brownie pieces are dense and will fill you up), this is probably a good choice. You get chocolate ice cream, white chocolate buttons, chocolate brownies, and chocolate sauce (a lot of chocolate right?) A lighter but also satisfying choice is The Last Straw (crepe option) that my friend ordered. Accompanied with fresh strawberries, fruit coulis, and vanilla ice cream, it's hard to go wrong with it. read more

LIVE. LOVE. SWEETS! If you are looking for a place to be put in a sugar induced coma, this is it. I have been here to get my sugar fix too many times to count. Sometimes there is a short wait but nothing unbearable. The service is always speedy and professional. The food is a marvel, and it never fails to amaze. This is an amazing place for deserts! read more

Coming from someone who has a huge sweet tooth, Caffe Demetres is absolutely fantastic. I got the Blush waffle and holy smokes, the waffle was just amazing. It had such a fresh taste to it and the waffle had just the right texture. It was soft, fluffy, and wasn't overly plain. The Belgin white chocolate sauce drizzled on top was very sweet as expected, but surely completed the meal. The Strawberry Royale ice cream was also very sweet, but the fresh strawberries toned it down a notch and were slightly sour. There is also wi-fi at Caffe Demetre, but you need to ask one of the workers to gain access to it. The waitress was extraordinarily friendly and continuously came by to see if my friend and I were doing fine and if we enjoyed our meals. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Caffe Demetre should expect many more visits from me in the future! read more

Demetres - The Blush Waffle - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Demetres - Moo la la on a waffle - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I love this location! Staff are so sweet and kind to customers. The desserts are always delicious I'm a huge fan of their shake and awe now! Never had such a creamy smooth yet sweet milkshake drizzled with nutella. Just perfection for my nutella addiction ! Aside from the shake I love their say cheese cheesecake! Although the strawberries are not sweet it still works ! You know why? Since the cheesecake is delicately smooth and the crust is sweet the strawberries bitterness balance is all out. Or else you'd be in pain trying to finish the whole plate! read more

The first time back to Demetre's in over a year (my second choice for dessert since Spin was closed) and not much has changed. The service was okay, the dessert wasn't bad, but nothing exciting. Same old Demetre's, just the way I left it. Used to have the dessert game on lock, but with so many other dessert options out there, Demetre's, you've got to step it up! read more

Demetres - BANANA KARENINA (DRESSED TO GRILL) Dulce & Banana Iced Cream * Caramelized Banana * Nutella®. Crêpe - $12.75 - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Wow... their waffle is so big!! I don't know if this picture can show how big it is because the pecan nut tart that my friend ordered which you can see behind the waffle is also big. Lol I definitely recommend this strawberry vanilla ice cream waffle to everybody! The waffle was crunchy outside and fluffy inside... it is the perfect work. I've had a lot of so-so waffle, which were sometimes a bit raw inside or like a store-bought frozen waffle, but this one is the best! Even though it has ice cream on top, it didn't get badly soggy, and the quality of every ingredient was so good. I changed the strawberry sauce to chocolate sauce, and this tuned out a really nice combination too. The chocolate sauce on top of the ice cream was crunchy, and that added a nice texture. I will come back again for the waffle! read more

I used to love taking my girlfriend to Demetres last summer and even threw the winter, food was always good, pricey but good. However I strongly suggest you never order take out from here out threw Uber eats or Door Dash at least during Covid 19, ordered 3 times, the food was absolutely terrible each timstone cold , stale waffles, overly frozen ice cream with ice crystals, and 2 of the 3 times I found hair in my food. I don't know what happened, but I would assume the staff got upset that they didn't get shut down for coronavirus, and instead turned their frustrations on the food they were making. I suggest the management reevaluate their employees, because nobody is going to come back when you open with food like that. read more

I want this place to be good, I really do. It's got a great atmosphere, good lighting and not bad service but, this might be the worst dessert place in all of Toronto. I've been here four times and every time I leave in disbelief of how terrible it is. Everything is incredibly processed, cheap ingredients and very tasteless. The crepes taste like paper and even the ice cream is flat. It blows me away that they can get these simple desserts so wrong. Do yourself a favour and save your time and calories for somewhere else. ...Or Caffe Demetre, you have all the right ingredients to be fantastic, so step it up. read more

We keep giving this place a chance to redeem itself. We keep hoping it will. Sadly, it never does. WHY does it take SO LONG to get a scoop of ice cream? WHY? What is everyone doing? Are you milking cows? Customer service at it's absolute worst. read more

Guaranteed to hit the spot for waffles and ice cream or crepes craving, a sweet tooth lovers dream. read more

Demetres - Apple pie and make your own waffles. - Desserts Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Yum! Who doesn't love freshly made crepes and waffles? Demetres always smells delicious as soon as you walk in. Sure, it's a little on the pricier side (I think they've recently raised their prices?), but it's a great treat every so often :) The service is also great! On my last visit I had a crepe topped with apple crisp and caramel sauce ... so good! read more

I have tried several Demetre locations throughout the GTA, and must say this one ranks best for their service, never run into problems with the staff and never had anything to complain about. Love their ice cream crepes, had to limit myself from visiting this place as I was becoming too much of a regular. (This is probably not the best idea since it is an ice cream place after all). read more

Went to this place on a Wednesday night for dessert. It was my first time to a Caffe Demetre. We decided to order a crepe. It was delicious!! I highly recommend that you bring someone to share the dessert, the portions are massive! It was quiet, but a big group came in half way through our dessert. The prices are kind of pricey, but it's worth it every now and then. I am looking forward to trying out the other locations. read more

It was ok not that great! We just came from Demetres and not excited at all that we finally been to this Cafe. Read a lot about the cafe so it was a long due. We ordered Choco Ono and a cup of Cappuccino. Choco Ono was very very sweet and it was "recommended" in the menu(star in the menu indicated as recommended) and in Cappuccino they added a teaspoon of Cinnamon powder(which I hate the most). Didn't knew that they'll add cinnamon powder otherwise I had ordered a Latte. So I guess this was it... not going back there ever again. read more

This is the place to go to if you want to skip dinner and go straight to desert. Demetres will most definitely fill you up (I hope). The portions are HUGE, especially for their waffles and crepes. So bring someone with you to share a plate. I recommend everything on the menu except for the ice cream sandwiches. The cookie was SO hard and eating it was messy. The waffles/crepes are so warm when it's ready and it tastes amazing with the cold ice cream. The ice cream is very rich too. The staff is very nice and you get you food quickly. One time on a busy night, the waitress didn't come for 15 minutes when we were ready to order. I think she forgot about us, so we left. I don't think much of this because this has happened once out of the 1000 times I've been here. The prices are good since you get a TON of desert. It's only a few minutes walk away from Royal York station. If you're driving, you'll have to park on the side walk or behind the cafe, which you have to pay for obviously. read more

Best ice cream date location! Ordered a strawberries and chocolate topped crepe with chocolate and white chocolate scoops of ice cream. It was unbelievably great! Teas and warm ciders are also excellent. The service was good and quick. The prices are reasonable considering the large portions. read more

This is the second Cafe Demetre that I've visited, and this one was a much more pleasant experience than my first. It may be the location, which is in more of a downtown area than a massive shopping mall area, it may be the time of night we went, or it may have been the better level of service. This time we were a bit more intelligent than our previous visit as well, opting to split one dessert waffle between us, instead of each ordering something and overindulging. This made the evening much more pleasant, as we didn't feel overstuffed afterwards. Service was quick and fast, the dessert waffle was delicious. The manager of this location was incredibly attentive as well, making sure tables were arranged and getting turnarounds done much more quickly and calmly. Overall, this is a nice spot for dessert and coffee, and I would definitely make a return visit. read more

I was there on this weekend and ordered the Tongue Depressor and was very disappointed with it. It is just one note chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. I should have read the ice description because for a dessert to have brownie pieces on top of it I would have never guessed it would also have brownie chunks in the ice cream. I barely got any ice cream due to the brownies in the Ice Cream. I was very unhappy with it. I mentioned to the server how disappointing and almost inedible (after a few bites of just ridiculous amount of chocolate) and she looked and said "too much chocolate". Which seems to me it had been a complaint she had heard before. I suggested if I could get a berry sauce to help add some other flavor dimension and she stated it would be an extra charge. I couldn't eat it the way it was and would be charged extra. It was very disappointing. I got an item that was just terrible like chocolate and it was just sickening amount of chocolate. I wasn't even going to send it back just wanted to try and fix it and was charged extra. She was a good server besides that maybe just location policy but honestly if a customer isn't happy should try and fix it at no extra charge. read more

Definitely my go-to place when I'm having some intense sugar cravings. The Roché ice cream is by far my favourite. My only advice is to share orders with your friends/family/lover... a sundae/crepe/waffle order all to myself is too much for even my giant sweet tooth to handle sometimes. The prices keep going up every year, but it's hard to argue with a giant crepe covered in ice cream and toppings (most crepe places in the city don't come with ice cream, so Demetres has the upper hand for us ice cream fiends). Also, at this location, I find the decor to be nice and the service to be pretty quick (though not always the friendliest). read more

There have been many changes to the Demetre's menu since we were last here and the changes are NOT for the better. I used to be able to order granita drinks which I loved. Not any more. I used to be able to top my ice cream desserts with nuts. Not any more. Only choice is praline, tiny little crumbs. The waiter said they had to take nuts off the menu due to people's nut allergies? I used to have a choice of fruits other than strawberries and banana. I loved kiwi and apple compote. Can't have that either. There really isn't very much choice left on the menu at Demetre's anymore. I am deeply disappointed and not coming here anymore. Thanks for breaking my dessert loving heart, Demetre's! read more

Waiter was very nice. Food was huge and fresh and very tasty. Would go again. Definetly a place to go and split a dessert. So many options. read more

Man this place blew my socks off. I'm come here frequently and all I can say is flawless. Their sundae is what I order most of the time and my tastebuds were in heaven. Also their crepes are delicious. Made on the spot. That is why I love this place read more

Very nice and fri ndly staff. They don't have any peanut butter in thr menu which is understandable but otherwise everything else is on point. read more

This is my go-to place for hangouts with friends in Etobicoke. The menu is to die for and you can split with friends or devour an entire plate of crepes, strawberries, whipped cream and icecream on your own (who cares about that waistline when the food is that good! Yum!) Pretty much everything on their menu is great. I always order a crepe with icecream, chocolate sauce, and strawberries. Their hot chocolate is EXCELLENT. My friend even compared it to the hot chocolate in Italy, which is the highest compliment she can think of. Service is great. Swift and always friendly. The servers are almost exclusively male. Only downside is the price. You're probably looking at $8-10 dollars for a crepe/waffle etc. Quite steep for desert. read more

Great spot for dessert, especially now with their revamped menu - very cute and creative with the pop culture references but also brings new flavours and menu items after years of the same stuff. I love going here after dinner or whenever I just want to have a nice sweet treat. The servers are friendly and I don't feel rushed. It can get a noisy at night because of the open concept design of the space but clearly it's popular. It would make for a nice date spot; tables are best for just two, but bear in mind that you sit in close proximity to your fellow dessert seekers. The desserts are truly decadent. The cakes are OK, nothing too different from other dessert spots in the city, but their house-made ice cream selections and toppings are just divine. I'm a huge fan of their sundaes (big enough to share) and their crepes. Keep up the great job! read more

Food 5/5 It's my first time at this location and I have to say that their portions are quite large. Me and a friend came in at 8 PM on a weekday and it was pretty packed. Everything was up to par comparing to their other chains. Service 4.5/5 The waitress was patient and helpful. Even though there were quite a few tables they were able to get our desserts out in a decent amount of time. And they made their waffles cones fresh on the spot. Decor 4/5 The decor is the same elsewhere. Nothing too, too special. However, it did feel more spacious than some of their other chains. read more

Amazing fresh desserts for cravings. Although the service is poor every time! I went the other day at 210pm when it had opened and there was only two other tables. Server was slow to take order and to bring bill, he barely talked to anyone. Another table that had just walked in also got their order before us as well. read more

After long-time patronage and recent ownership change, they have lost me as a customer forever. Same great menu, but man do they skimp on portion sizes, including take out cake slices. The place was also empty on a Friday eve, 6pm. Wishing them goodbye and good luck. I don't give them more than another 6-8 months. read more

Desserts are generally good to very good, and although it can be a little pricey portions are huge! However service can be bizarrely slow at times (have waited 15 mins for them to cut a slice of already made cheesecake for takeout), with all the staff wandering around aimlessly while avoiding eye contact (I don't think I have crazy eyes...). Just about worth it on balance, but I tend to avoid because of the slow service. read more

Great spot in Bloor West Village. I love their assortment of desserts and they have amazing coffees. Summer nights are always packed.
