Favourite demetre's. They are so good with kids at this location and we go every year at the end of the school year. I love that they make the ice cream themselves so they know what is in it - making it a breeze for egg allergies. Our server today was very sweet. My daughter could not have the waffle cone so she gave her extra ice cream. She also packed up our leftovers to take home. These giant sundaes are the one scoop size! Mine was packed with strawberries, Roche ice cream and praline. My daughter had the white chocolate ice cream with Oreos and Belgian chocolate drizzle. read more

Demetres - One scoop sundaes are huge! - Desserts Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

haven't been here in years, but glad to be back for my sweet tooth had a craving. Just south of 16th avenue on Yonge is Caffe Demetre's. Its selection of sweet tooth desserts from Crepes, and waffles, to ice cream, and shakes can make obese. With a few friends we decided to order their crepes with the choice of upgrading it to a waffle. I ended up having the Fudgement day, filled with bananas, and chunks of brownies, lathered up with chocolate it was as blissful and filling like an actual meal. Portion is worth it, esepecially for those who love their desserts. The service was very polite, efficient, and knowledgable when it came to decisions. No complaints!!! Its a location that can easily be missed, so keep your eyes out!! read more

I've been going here with my family for years - this time we went, we took family that had recently moved to Canada and we ordered a bunch of their crepes and waffles. The names they give their desserts are unique and the family we took liked the experience. We ordered: Fudgement Day on a waffle - Honey Madagascar Vanilla Iced Cream with sliced bananas, Belgian dark chocolate sauce, and Belgian dark chocolate buttons - it was super good, super pretty sweet - the dark chocolate was a nice decision - made it less sweet for such a chocolatey dish. Tongue depressor on a crepe - Cocoa Chanel Iced Cream, brownies, Belgian Dark Chocolate Sauce, and Belgian White Chocolate Buttons - this one's for the chocolate lovers. I, a chocolate fan and a sweet tooth, loved it. The Last Straw on a crepe - Honey Madagascar Vanilla Iced Cream, Fresh Strawberries, an Strawberry coulis - we had to take a break from all the chocolate so this was a nice, but still sweet, change to our palette. Chewbaclava on a crepe - Sweet Baklava iced cream, baklava bits, Quebec maple syrup, and cinnamon streusel. This one was my favourite - it's different from the classic iced cream flavours you expect (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate). The baklava bits sprinkled over the top gives it a nice chewy and somewhat crunchy texture - like granola. It's another sweet crepe choice but it's a great one for those looking to try something new. The fact that it's baklava iced cream also makes its flavour pop out more. Costs: Crepes - $12.75 Waffles - $13.25 The plates are huge - one crepe/waffle is good for 2-3 people. I would definitely come again, as we usually do for a nice sweet ice cream treat. A lot of people have come to Demetre dessert restaurants for a long time - they serve good, consistent, and yummy desserts for a decent price. read more

This is definitely not one of my favourite locations. My husband and I had gone for my birthday and we waited for almost an hour to get our dessert. I'd rather go to the location near Yorkdale mall as their service is better. In regards to the food, it tasted the same as all the other locations I have been too (not surprised considering its a chain) read more

First off, this location is NOT closed, very much still open. My boyfriend and I shared the Moo La La Belgium Waffle, and it was amazing. Perfect for 2 people! Came right when it opened on Saturday just after lunch, we had some good timing. It's nice and quiet during this time. Pretty loud and crowded during evenings anytime. read more

Hi I was there with my family last night from 9:15 pm to 11pm it's terrible cafe with rud and impolite stuffs. At the end when a wanna to pay the bills I'm waiting around 15 minutes for bills but no one care us after that I went to cashier to pay it and I told here about that but she said I don't care and the customer have to wait and if you're unhappy don't come here ....... I spent around 200$ there so I put my money to garbage please learn to employees some customers service and manners no just make money. She had tattoos in her left arm if demerits manager going to learn her some customers service lol read more

COVID- 19 Vulnerable location ** please read this before you visit this location l**** This location is not even having their employees wear mask or any COVID-19 precautions while working last night I took my kids for ice cream and they have kept open this location as usual and no safety protection mask are been provided as directed by Public Health Canada. I will recommend dont visit this location as the owners of the business isn't worried about their customers I can clearly see on the employee coughing and sneezing while serving our ice cream me and my wife took our kids and literally went home and showered in hot water now my kids having high fewer and cough. I am gone inform the head office for sure how you can have employees on location when they are sick this is very unprofessional by the location managements. read more

Went in on a Thursday evening to get dessert with my friends and first thing is that they were crowded. After waiting around 5-10 minutes they seated us and we decided what we were going to order. There was too little staff working for the amount of customers there so just ordering out food took 25 minutes, then waiting for it to come out was another 30 minutes. The food itself wasn't bad, but the ice cream had a grainy texture to it and the brownies were too dense (I ordered a Choc It Up). The worst part was our bill. We asked for our bill and after 20 minutes no one gave it to us so we asked again and this happened 4 times. Finally we got our bill probably 50 minutes after we finished eating. The food isn't bad but service is just not it. read more

Hi, I went to this location of demetres with a group of four at 11pm. This location closes at 12am. The restaurant was full except for a booth which the waitress (she had glasses and braces) said could ONLY seat six people. We thought that was ridiculous but we waited for another 5 minutes and got a table elsewhere. Soon after, a waitress let a group of THREE sit at the booth for six people. We asked the waitress to move. She had to consult with her coworkers. However, she maintained that the booth was for six people and she was not sure why her coworkers let a group of three sit at the booth. She said "it is what it is." We got to move to a booth but I think the way it was terribly handled and they made a mistake on one of our orders! Please train your employees to properly address and RESOLVE an issue or at least, APOLOGIZE. It seems that this particular waitress (glasses and braces) had no sense of customer service and frankly I'm not sure why she is employed here. Please let me know of a solution. Thank you read more

I honestly love the demetres chain. First time coming to this location... Not. Impressed. No sign of hostess for a good 10 minutes. However we were seated rather quickly once the hostess attended to us. Ordered the Tongue Depressor today. Let me tell you, more like tongue depressing. My crepe was drowning in chocolate sauce. Way too many brownie bites and they used regular chocolate ice cream. Overall just a disaster. I have had this before at a different location and it was perfect. Not sure what happened here but I definitely will not come to this location again. I am not paying close to $20 for something I can't even finish because it is way too sweet. read more

Music is insanely loud. After asking nicely to turn it down, they had purposely increased clubbing music. Second, ingredients are cheap after management changed. read more

They should have a strict rule for their employees uniform as well as wearing hair net if they are working in the kitchen. I've had hair inside my crepe desert. Poor management service. read more

Aah, Demetre on Yonge Street... I felt like I was staring into the face of the inbred cousin of Demetre Highway 7. Something familiar but there's something a bit off... I feel like Demetres is where you send bad adults for punishment. There are no booze, it's full of loud teenagers, and has mediocre ice cream. This location is different...in terms of clientele anyways. The people here were older than I expected. When I arrived, the hostess asked if my entire party was here. I said no. She said she couldn't seat me because if another group showed up with everyone I would have to give my table up. ...Excuse me? I guess I had my WTF expression on my face and I was seated promptly. My friend ordered the Melting Pot. I could have sworn that they used to serve it in a bowl. It's tasty, but pretty underwhelming in terms of presentation. Just put it in a bowl, dammit, instead of that stupid latte glass. That way I feel a bit less bad for paying 6 bucks for hot chocolate.. The Pomme Sundae, spiced apple, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and white chocolate sauce. It would have been better without the white chocolate and some more cinnamon. 7 bucks. Hot Water with lemon - 95 cents. There's nothing out this direction, so what are you going to do. ....I'd just keep driving and hit the Marble Slab on Major Mac if I want ice cream. read more

On a cold winter's night, I head over here with my cousins and am greeted by the warm sounds of chatter and the sweet smell of the tantalizing desserts that are the specialty of Caffe Demetre. Maybe a little of a dramatic introduction, but hey, I was cold and needed food and warmth. First off, the menu here is pretty overwhelming. I could not decide what to order because everything sounded so good. We ended up sharing a large, strawberry and sugar coated Belgian Waffle, and on the side, I ordered a frozen hot chocolate. Everything was delicious and provided an ailment for my raving sweet tooth. Definitely coming back for more. read more

Great place to go after a movie or hang out with friends. Very busy location. Wait time to be seated was 10-15 minutes. Café Demetre known for their waffles and crepes and sinful ice cream flavors and toppings. Great menu hard to chose. I had the salted caramel ice cream, delicious. Our friends had apple pie which not only looked good but tasted amazing. Their selection of cakes was limited to cheesecakes of different flavors. Not a fan of cheesecakes myself. Good coffee, lattes and shakes where but a few drinks offered on the menu. Not a place to go if you are watching calories. I started to salivate as I watched the many plates of decadent delights being served at the other tables. I knew it had to be good by the expressions after that first bite. read more

Really good dessert! I was here with my husband yesterday around 8pm. The waiter was very attentive and nice. He seated us immediately and let us choose our seating. He gave us a lot of time to decide what we wanted to order instead of asking us every 5 mins if we were ready. The food came extremely fast. I had "the last straw" (strawberry/whipped cream/vanilla ice cream/ waffle) and my husband had a cappuccino with a slice of blueberry cheesecake. It was delicious! The waiter even took the initiative to bring us water ( I was just about to ask him for water and he already thought of it). Overall this place is great! Would love to come again. read more

We came here on a Thursday night and the place was about 3/4 full. Service was horribly slow. We sat for a good 15 mins before our server came to take our drink order and another 15 mins for our order to arrive. By then the ice cream I ordered was already half melted!! And they charged me $1 for hot water?!?! Definitely not coming back to this location. read more

I don't know a lot places that dedicate their entire menu to different types of desserts so I can't really compare this place with any other. I have to say that if you are just aching for something sweet, this is the place to fill the void. There really is no way you can wrong with cake+ice cream or cake+coffee or waffles+chocolate or any other sweet combination you can think of. That being said, I wouldn't necessarily say that this place has the best cake, or the best coffee, or the best ice cream, they just have a place that puts all these things together into one complete dessert shop. read more

I love all Demetries so my review might be bias. This location is quiet busy. We ordered the apple crepe + tongue depressor and they were both delicious ! read more

The food is good however the servers are rude and show attitude. Don't get surprised if they keep forgetting part of your order or if they tell you they can't separate your bill. Overall it was not the cozy place I wanted to spend afternoon. read more

I love going here with my family for deserts. It's so yummy and it smells so good once you walk in. The portions are pretty big so I always share with one other person. It's always busy whenever I go, regardless if it's summer or not. I definitely love the waffles they make, it's very good. read more

Coming here is never a wrong choice. Their desserts are fantastic! A friend and I came here a few days ago after a long day to unwind and catch up. We were greeted right away and seated. However, there seemed to be a bit of confusion because while we were taking our jackets off a lady came and asked us what we wanted to order. When we politely told her that we just sat down she looked slightly confused. We were than told by our actual server that this specific location was under new management and they were getting the hang of things. Our server was friendly and quick to get things started for us. We ordered a caramel latte, jasmine green tea, brownie points and a life sentence on a waffle. The brownie points consists of a slice of caramel brownie chocolate cheesecake along with a huge scoop of their chocolate ice cream with a triple fudge drizzle on top. It was delicious! If you are a peanut butter lover, you will absolutely fall for the "a life sentence". Freshly made waffle with a larger than life scoop of peanut butter overload ice cream, sliced bananas, fudge brownies and triple fudge sauce drizzled on top. MMMM!!! Just writing this review makes me want to go back for more! Overall, we had a great time. Stayed for a little bit over a couple of hours. Our server came by every so often to make sure we were doing okay. Filled up my pot with hot water without me asking. I was a happy camper! Will absolutely come here again!!! read more

Caffe Demetre is always open late, so it's a great place to catch up and have late night conversations with your friends. If you're a fan of Nutella, you'll love "Moo La La" as much as I do (strongly suggest the waffle instead of the crepe!) I always get it with strawberries substituted in place of bananas. Other classics include "The Last Straw", which is great on a crepe or waffle and consists of a whole whack of strawberries and strawberry syrup as well as vanilla ice cream, and the Toffee Snob cake, which is served warm and ooey gooey delicious. They recently got new menus which are very cute with punny titles like "Game of Cones". Prices have raised a couple dollars since last year, but I'll still come back for a waffle or two (or ten) when I'm craving something sweet. read more

Went with the family the other night for desserts. Had the DIY Crepe with the white chocolate ice cream and toppings. Very big portion. I would recommend to share with someone. Pros Large portions Fresh fruits A little something for everyone. Cons The apple cider tasted like powdered cider. For that price, it should be real cider. read more

This is a place where you see everyone happy. There is ample parking space and the staff is friendly. There is a lot of rush on weekends but you find seating space pretty quick. In spite of all the rush, they do get your order right. There is no push to get you out and you can relish your deserts. Try out the Banana split and the Crepes. These are my personal favourite. I will give this place 5 stars as I come in for a late night desert and is never disappointed. read more

I've been to this place several times and went yesterday and it never disappoints! The service is great. The waiters and waitresses are really friendly. I noticed that they have a new menu now. I'm sure everything is the same but just a new design. I ordered the Applause which is basically just the pomme pilot without the ice cream. My sister ordered the tongue depressor but replaced the white buttons for strawberries. I really like how you can switch up the toppings so you can accommodate it to your needs lol. This time I ordered drinks which I never do. I ordered the stormy weather which was so good! Kinda taste like a frappucino from Starbucks. My sister ordered the OC which is an Oreo milkshake and it's great for chocolate lovers. Our waitress was amazing and the food was served with such beautiful presentations! Will be back soon. read more

People are not lying about this place. Mind you, I have visited this location numerous times and have never had any major issues. Long story short: We came in around 1030 and having worked in the restaurant/food industry myself, I scarfed down my sundae so I did not hold the workers up from closing (they were closing at 11 pm). However, I am anaphylactic and ordered an Ariana sundae with the crushed hazelnuts replaced by oreo pieces. I will not mention the server's name because she is a human being at the end of the day and humiliating her publicly is not how I conduct myself online. I specifically said to her I cannot have anything with nuts because I have an allergy so please make sure there are no other products containing nuts with my order. She looked at me blankly with a brief pause and said okay. She did not come back to tell me that the coconut sorbet is made with almond milk so I assumed it was safe to consume. At this point, I ate my sundae as fast as I could and as soon as I stopped, I felt a reaction coming on. She came with the bill and I specifically asked her again "just to make sure there were no other nut products in my order...the sorbet is not made with almond milk right?". She freaked out and stated that the coconut sorbet was indeed made with almond milk and she failed to mention it. She completely forgot until I asked her which made me question her attentiveness to begin with. We threw $30 on the table and ran out to get to the hospital before my throat closed up. On our way out, she had the audacity to say thank you as though we were trying to tip her $10 ... I found that quite disrespectful. Talking to the owner is a waste of time. Don't bother wasting your energy talking to her about how incompetent and dismissive her staff is. She offered me a $50 gift card which I decline because why would anyone want to go back to such an establishment after an experience like that? I had to hassle her to get information about their head office after 10 emails because she thought I was just going to accept the gift card and be on my way. Ofcourse, after I was relentless about her dismissive behaviour and false accusations about my interaction with the server, she finally sent out an email that included the head office. In the email, she indicated that no allergy was mentioned and that both the server and manager were witnesses to the "conversation" I had with the server. The manager was in the kitchen area and no where near my table to hear how my conversation occurred so I am not sure how she's considered a witness. Anyways, for all of you with allergies like me, make sure to record yourself informing the server about your allergy because they will make it out to be a "preference" and will write a long email stating how it was never mentioned. Needless to say, I spent the whole night in the hospital and called off work the next morning only to deal with transactional businesses (nothing more than a give and take business). read more

I love this place. I always get the apple/vanilla ice cream/caramel crepe, which seems to have changed names a few times over the years, but has never changed in deliciousness. The portions are massive, if you already can't tell from the photos on here. And they don't rush you out, even if it's a Friday night at 11pm with people lined up waiting to get in... they will get their desserts too, eventually. My only issue I've had in the past was being unable to split bills, but the last few times, I've been able to do so. Not sure if the policy changed, or the servers decided to make it easy on everyone... overall, a very yummy and filling experience. Be sure you're starving before you go here. read more

I booked the Cafe for my daughters 12th Birthday party. We had 8 children and four adults dine at this location. My daughter Kaydence chose the Banana Split. It came with three LARGE yummy scoops of ice cream. Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry. Topped with Banana slices, a waffle tucked in the back & three large scoops of whipped cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. My girl was drooling when they put it in front of her and she had no regrets. The girls also enjoyed the New York Cheese cake & The Don't let me Brown. The most popular amongst the 8 girls was the Banana split. They also enjoyed Hot Chocolate Topped with Nutella & whipped cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. Us adults enjoyed the waffles with our Coffee. The Ella Fitzgerald was tasty. Covered with Strawberries and Nutella!! We also loved the Moo La La which was Roche Ice Cream topped with banana & Nutella!! We were all beyond satisfied with our desserts. The Caffe was clean & the service was very pleasant. Our server went above and beyond. She was extremely patient with my young guests & understood how excited they were to be having this Birthday experience. As a mother I was happy to see that the service was fast & we were not waiting. I can not complain about anything because it was a memorable time!! I especially appreciated that the server was awesome about refilling waters (we like to stay hydrated ha ha) & checking up on my guests. I would go again, and I would recommend it for other family events as well! Everything is so fresh & SO TASTY, you just can't go wrong. Everything looked to DIE FOR. It was hard to select from so many great options! Thanks for having us, We will be back soon! L. read more

Unique place to get your desserts. I've been this place few days ago and I personally liked it. I ordered cheese cake with ice cream and a cup of organic coffee. Coffee was about $3 per a cup with refill available and cake with ice cream was about $10. There were so many other menus available like Crepes and Waffles. Coffee was okay and cheese cake with ice cream was excellent. I would definately recommand people to have a piece of cake at this place. When I went to this place, there was no other customers. But based on their interior, I can tell this place is for teenagers or family with young children. Interior was a bit funky. Although I think this place is a bit pricey, I would still recommend this place. Delicious food and good service quality. If you love cakes, you must try Demetre's! Overall, a decent place to go if you are looking for fresh coffee and all other desserts. read more

Was alright, The food was nothing to be overly excited about, it is what you'd expect I guess? The food was good. Customer service is good... Only down side is the prices even charging 1 dollar for hot water I find really unnecessary. Overall it's alright. Nothing too amazing but not bad. read more

Unfortunately as usual there is no way to rate zero. We came to this place tonight and waited for over 45 minutes to get an order. There are people who got sit literally half an hour later than us and already got served. Another thing is that we got wrong order twice. Not happy! read more

Amazing. I've been here many times but went here last night for the first time in years. Ordered one if the crepes. Very tasty and well presented. It was pretty busy for a Sunday evening. We ended up seating ourselves and we had to ask for the bill. No refills on water either. Overall I'm really satisfied with the desserts. The customer service is a bit lacking but I let it go because they were so busy. Will definitely go again. read more

They say they are open on Fridays till 12am, I called at 11:45pm several times and they didn't answer. I went there and it was closed at 11:50pm. They should correct and list their honest hours on Yelp and stop misleading customers. Customers might be coming from very far and expect them to open but they are closed. Therefore I am leaving a one star. read more
