    Worst location ive ever been to.... Ordered an iced drink and it came warm..... Ordered the dubai chocolate waffle thins dip and they came burnt. Sent it back and it came back still burnt. Maybe one shade lighter... Asked for shared plates and they came after all the ice cream melted... not even exaggerating. Funny thing is, when i waved my server down (cuz no one was paying any attention to us) to tell her about the drink, she was like oh no they forgot the ice didnt they. So you knew!!!! But still served me a warm drink one the cold drinks menu. I dont get it.

    Ube eats on a French crepe
    Dominic Y.

    The customer service was excellent. The server maya was extremely attentive and nice. We got the matchamatics and ube eats on french crepes. The presentation was adequate, but missing the ube wafer sticks as per the menu. When we brought it up to the server she escalated to her manager, who then apologized for it being out of stock, and offered ice cream or extra toppings in place. The ordered items were delicious and generously portioned.

    Cocoa ono cake
    Abby L.

    Came here for a late night dessert. We tried the cocoa ono cake which was a chocolate fudge cake with honey vanilla ice cream. It was quite a dense cake and a little dry. It was very chocolatey and rich so the ice cream lightened it up. The honey ice cream was quite good but the more we ate the cake it started to not taste as great. Overall it was okay and satisfies a sweet craving but was nothing amazing. The service was quick, nothing to complain about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is a little outdated so not the biggest fan of the look.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Markham location is much nicer inside (although it is newer).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Splitsonia Belgian waffle with added banana slices + Belgian hot chocolate
    Jason T.

    I normally would go to the downtown Markham location since it is the nicely renovated one, buy decided to try this Richmond location on a Friday evening. I was pleased to see that there were quite a lot of patrons here! Ordered the Splitsonia Belgian waffle which includes strawberry slices, strawberry coulis sauce,and a scoop of honey vanilla ice cream. I paid an extra $3.50 for banana slices. The ice cream itself was delicious and highly recommend it. The strawberries were super sour, and was a mix of fresh and frozen strawberries. The coulis was as you'd expect. The waffle was not crispy. This would be solved if they let the waffle to cool after cooking as this helps to harden the waffle a bit, before adding any toppings. The Belgian hot chocolate arrived warm rather than hot. So much so that the toasted marshmallow on it didnt melt at all. This $8 drink didn't feel premium as one would expect from a Belgian hot chocolate, and I wouldn't recommend this. Service was rather friendly and fast. Overall, I enjoyed the evening here.

    Tongue Depressor

    I recently had a fantastic experience with quick and good customer service at Demetres. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer was promptly served and had their needs met. They were knowledgeable about the menu and helped me choose the perfect waffle dessert to suit my taste. The service was efficient, and I didn't have to wait long for my order. Overall, the quick and good customer service at Demetres made my visit enjoyable and left me with a positive impression.! The Tongue Depressor - Belgian Waffle at Demetres is an indulgent treat! You'll enjoy a mouthwatering combination of a fluffy Belgian waffle topped with rich Cocoa Chanel ice cream, fudge brownies, white chocolate buttons, and drizzled with French dark chocolate sauce. It's a decadent dessert that's worth every bite!

    Admittedly, this isn't the most beautiful location Demetres has, the parking lot is rather small, and Yonge Street can be a little hectic; however, I appreciate this location a lot for the friendly service and home-y feel! Plus, you get what you would get at other locations as well - the same huge portion and beautiful presentation! I always look over at other tables and see people ordering an entire dessert to themselves and I never understand how they do it! I typically share my crepes with one other person, and that alone is more than enough for me (and it comes up to ~$13.50 plus tax for a crepe decked out with syrups, ice cream and toppings). I appreciate that Demetres always finds different artists to design their menus. It's refreshing and very unique! Bonus: this location is right across the street from Hillcrest so you can walk off your full belly after and feel less guilty about all the sweets you just ingested.

    Delicious crepe. I love their freshly made crepes and waffles. There ice cream scoops are generous too.

    Smithsonian
    Rachel L.

    Such a delicious crepe place. We got the Smithsonian crepe and it was packed with strawberries, bananas, ice cream and whipped cream. The chocolate drizzle was so delicious on top of the dish. We did also add brownie bits to the dish as well and it was well worth the $2. The only reason it's not a 5 star review Is because we had to wait 15-20 minute wait for a table that we realized it was available the entire time.

    To be honest, under my anticipation of this place because I have collected for a long time and finely to visited a few days ago. The service was excellent, and the space was nice too. But the desserts were too sweet for both of us, and the capacity of the food was big enough that no one could be finished it.

    Demetre is a chain so it's a pretty predictable experience (e.g., a great place for date night). Where the locations differ is not on the menu, but on the ambiance, service, and busyness. This location is not as nice as the Vaughan one, but the service was decent and it's not nearly as busy (you're pretty much guaranteed to wait anywhere from 15-45 minutes in Vaughan on a Friday or Saturday night). My favourite ice cream flavour is white chocolate - it's just subtly sweet, unlike some of the other flavours.

    Demetres is a classic! The renovations make this place way more youthful/hip than they used to be. Demetres is a little expensive compared to other dessert options but the ambience of the place makes up for this a little bit. A crepe with ice cream is about $14.50 and the waffle is $15.50. I shared the Splitsonian crepe, which has strawberries, bananas and Nutella. We didn't realize till later we can still build our own crepes and it will cost the same! We might try that next time. This location was BUSY on a Saturday night at 11PM. Didn't have to wait long but it was pretty much at full capacity.

    Don't get it why people are crazy about this place....?! I only tried Waffles and in my opinion they are very mediocre ones plus a scoop of regular ice-cream on top which you can easily find in supermarkets! Nothing special about the taste of these desserts except they are really huge and appealing and if you are craving something sweet you can go there and they are big enough to share with s/o else. Maybe other desserts are better I have no idea! The place itself is toooo busy and noisy and you have to stand in the line for a long time! I think it is enough to go to this place once. You can buy a 6-pack of Waffles for $5 and put your favorite ice-cream on it and pure your favorite sauce on top instead of paying $13.

Unfortunately, the cake did not meet the usual standard I've come to expect from this store: *The cake was noticeably low-risen. *It arrived already partially melted. *The amount of gummies was disproportionate to the height of the cake, which made the overall presentation poor. I have ordered this same type of cake at least seven times before, and I can provide photos of those orders to demonstrate the clear difference in quality. This most recent order was far below the standard I have consistently received in the past. Customer service was another disaster, they said, that I was supposed to contact them right away ( for sure! Especially when you have 20 kids waiting in front of you with no other bavk up plan!) and return it back and offered me 15% for future purchase.

They also have funnel cake fries which I haven't seen in many places - would try that in the future as well. Additionally, though I love the variety of ice cream flavours offered, I absolutely love that soft serve is also included on the menu. It's a must have for all dessert spots in my opinion. The pistachio ice cream and the power shake were the highlight for me. The power shake had the perfect caffeine kick (again, I'm not usually a coffee drinker) and the pistachio ice cream was legit - not like what I'm used to. They have bits and pieces of pistachios inside and you can tell that it's not one of the fake pistachio flavored ice cream..like you'd find at most places. The crepe was very soft and made perfectly. At first I thought the chocolate and toppings would be too much but it worked really well together. Very colorful space with quite a lot of seats and very friendly, generous staff.

    If you've seen those sappy Japanese, Korean or Taiwanese movies recounting about a high school…read moresweet heart couples' puppy love story, you will recognize a similar pattern; a small snack shack place where the couple frequently hang out is always portrayed. Zack's Chocolate gives off that vibe as one of these small snack shack places filled with nostalgia. Zack's is owned by an elderly couple that sells chocolate, chocolate covered treats and ice cream. It really feels like an old school toned down version of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. One thing that is very enticing about Zack's is that they offer an array of soft serve ice cream flavours. They offer your typical chocolate, vanilla and more interesting ones like blueberry cheesecake, lemon, etc. My review is solely based on a chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream that I had there. It was really tempting to get some of the different flavours but as they claimed to be a chocolatier I opted for a very conservative chocolate swirl. The verdict? It's a solid soft serve ice cream... at $3. Probably not price competitive with the big boys. I would say it's a teeny tiny bit less creamy than the McDonald's or Costco soft serve. But given the place being a chocolatier but the soft serve not any more chocolatety than other places, it's a bit disappointing. If I'm in the area I would not be opposed to trying some of their chocolate treats but I would not go out of the way to head to Zack's unless you have some nostalgic attachment to this place.
