My favourite ube ice cream. Not too sweet. Today was super duper hot. Grabe an ice cream while walking around the shops. read more

Came here for a quick dessert. Place is very bright and lots of lighting. All seats are booth/benched like which is nice. The staff if very kind and gives suggestions for you if needed. Unfortunately they don't allow you to buy kid scoop unless you're a kid. I wasn't feeling up to buying a full single scoop but they refused. Server said they can make a single scoop smaller for me but still have to pay the price, which is a silly suggestion but no. Will only come here again if I want dessert for dinner I guess! Or if I want something sweet to drink which is rare. read more

Came here with baby on a chill Thursday afternoon. The place smells so sweet and fragrant upon entering. We were the only two in the whole store. Tried my favourite, "Ube Eats" with Belgian waffle. swapped vanilla sweet dream with fresh strawberries so it's not overly sweet. I love the premium and unique ice cream. The waffle was fresh and piping hot. The presentation looks very appetizing too, love at first sight! One piece of the strawberry is not as fresh, and wish the ends could be trimmed off more. Otherwise food tastes great. The atmosphere and vibe is perfect for dating and gathering with friends. Chill soft music. The server was attentive, and sweet, and when I asked for hot water and more napkins, she provided them promptly. I can't wait to come back again in the near future. read more

I've been coming to Dimitri for years! And I always love this place. They've definitely upgraded over the last 15 years in terms of ambiance and menu selection. But one thing that I keep ordering is "The last straw" I always opt out for the honey vanilla ice cream for chocolate and it never disappoints. The servers are always sweet and friendly here which makes the experience even better read more

We had a wonderful time at Demetres Don Mills, the food is always delicious and our waitress, Lara, was kind and extremely attentive. Gave great suggestions and looked after everything we needed. I was really upset seeing that the restaurant has set up the payment system to only offer a 10% tip or "other".... I will be contacting the company directly. This is absolutely unacceptable in the service industry to have the only tip option below the standard... even 15% is too low. These servers are working very hard and this is a poor reflection of Demetres as a business. Do better Demetres! read more

Demetres is a go to spot for desserts. There is no other dessert places so mot much choice really. It is always busy place. The later you go there is wait times. So overall it's ok. Not the best. I think it's not as good as it used to be overall as a company. So this review is not at this store specifically but as the company as a whole. I just dined at this store and I got the Dubai chocolate crepe (newest items featured). I almost lost a tooth as I bit on something hard. I picked it out of my back teeth and it seemed like a pistachio shell is the likely culprit (I regret not taking a picture). Very small very hard. Very sharp. Nothing on the crepe would be anything else. (Vanilla ice cream. Strawberries. Milk chocolate. Crepe. And the pistachio with knafeh.) unless it was the knafeh. Anyways I told our waitress and Whaf actually surprised me is that she said it has happened before. It's not the first time! Shocker. I did not expect that answer. And she was not surprised at all!! Wow. So goes to show you. Demetres is not quality checking. I posted this on my IG story and Demetres viewed my story. And ZERO response so far. If they respond. I wil update. For now. I didn't lose a tooth. Otherwise there would be a serious issue I would be considering legal options. But good thing I didn't chomp down on it. Be careful when ordering this!! U never know!! Also it was ok. I wouldn't order it again. read more

We had a quick late night sweet treat a few days ago, and we enjoyed it quite a bit. The restaurant was not that busy that night, but it was clean and well lit, which I like because you can see the food, and hear your company speak to you. We ordered the tongue depressor and substituted the cocoa chocolate for the honey vanilla, and it actually is one of the better and more flavourful vanilla ice cream scoops I've had. The waffle was perfectly done, and the whole thing overall was tasty. I would definitely go back again for just this. But we also ordered a latte, which came with a tiny biscotti, the perfect sweet accompaniment for this delightful espresso. Over all a great experience with the food staff and restaurant, we surely will be back again! read more

Very busy location, but they're very efficient with their seating arrangements. This is my go to place for a late night sweet treat. I always get the same dessert (Unbrulevable on a crepe), and that's a 10/10 for me. Service is great at this location. read more

I had their 'Monumintal' and 'Unbrûlévable' French Crepes, and it was a taste bud celebration. The Monumintal, with Winter Mint Ice Cream, Fudge Brownies, and Oreo Pieces, offered a delicious journey to Paris in every bite. The Unbrûlévable, featuring Dulce and Banana Ice Cream, Brûléed Bananas, and Butter Caramel Sauce, was equally impressive. The French Crepes were delicate, flavorful, and oozing Parisian charm. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was top-notch, making it an all-around fantastic experience. read more

It was our last night in Toronto and we stumbled upon the Shops at Don Mills while looking for dinner. We walked around the plaza and saw these beautiful ice cream plates being brought out to customers enjoying their sweets on the restaurant patio that we just had to go inside to check out the place for ourselves. I am so glad we did because LOVED every aspect of this visit. The inside has a cute, elegant vibe. Even the bathrooms were super cute and clean. There were a ton of options to enjoying the delicious ice cream they offer (crepes, waffles, big sundae bowls, small scoops, milkshakes, and more). We got the "Daddy-o" and the seasonal "zest friends forever" sundaes. My oh my was it good!! Honestly, we should have just gotten one for the two of us, but we wanted to try these two flavors because yolo. However, I recommend only getting 1 order per 2 people in your party, it's a lot of dessert. I HIGHLY recommend stopping here if you are in town. We are sad we learned about it on our last day but hope to return in the future. read more

I've really enjoyed the two times I've been here. First time was date night with hubby and second time was family treat time. Both times service was excellent and dessert choices were great. Love the decor and atmosphere which is hip , sleek, yet large and comfy. Brownie Points is our "go to" each time. Love. Drinks were pretty good too. The grapefruit , rosemary sparkler was a standout. Will definitely be back! read more

Demetres is my go to place to get a full dessert meal! I went on a weekday evening and got seated immediately. Their menu is massive both in physical size and in dessert selections. They have crepes, cakes, ice cream, waffles, sundaes, ice drinks, hot drinks, and the list goes on. At first glance, the desserts seem quite pricey, but trust me the portion is massive! I ended up ordering the Pomme Pilot crepe, which comes with white chocolate ice cream, warm apple slices, and cinnamon streusel. It was absolutely delicious and tastes like Fall on a plate. My only critique was that half of my crepe was soggy due to the ice cream being directly on top of it. I'd prefer it if they separated both items. Like I mentioned, the portion is massive, so come here on an empty stomach. read more

Overly sweet, wouldn't recommend getting this unless you really like sweets. The serving size is good for two people. We've also added additional bruleed bananas which was probably the best part of the dish. The fresh blueberries were also a plus! Service was mediocre, waitress was apologetic about it which was nice. Price is also pretty up there, our total after taxes were $29 for one item plus the bananas which was an additional $3.50. read more

Just looking for some late-night dessert, my friends and I went to Demetres on a whim. On a Monday night, the cafe was definitely on the emptier side so we were able to be seated as soon as we came in. The service was fast and efficient, having our food was served in less than 15 minutes. We also mentioned to one of the servers that it was our friend's birthday, and she did an excellent job at being discrete while serving our food. She left the birthday girl's food for last and garnished her dessert with a candle and their happy birthday anthem. The ambiance was quiet and quaint, with low lighting and music playing in the back. I ordered the Bun Voyage ice cream sandwich; it's safe to say that it's now one of my favourite dishes there. The bun pastry that sandwiches the French Vanilla ice cream is thin and puffy, while the actual ice cream itself tastes rich in dairy. My friends ordered the 'Brownie Points,' and the 'Choc This Way.' While the sundae was a little bit on the sweeter side and very chocolaty, the Brownie Points cake was quite good. Everything tasted fresh and abundant in flavours. Overall, I know I'm going to come back- the food they serve always satisfies my late-night cravings, and the service is always fast and top-notch. If you're ever in a pinch and in need of a cake slice, give Demetres a try! read more

Service was good, place had a nice atmosphere & my rochè ice cream single scoop was delicious. The only issue was that they served the ice cream in a hot glass that just came out of the dishwasher, so the ice cream was partially melted! read more

Me my wife and our fam from Calgary came for dessert at Demetres Didn't know what to expect since I haven't been here in years The menu definitely upgraded from years past. A definitely new and fresh take on favourites from the past The location at Shops is super nice Fresh clean and vibrant We had the splitsonian French crepe Bananas and strawberries mixed with Nutella and honey vanilla ice cream Super rich and tasty Our fam from Calgary had the Cocoa Ono which also came with honey vanilla ice cream Let's just say that the portions didn't disappoint and neither of us could finish the whole thing Only thing I would suggest is more washrooms for the gents as there is only one but otherwise a great experience overall and definitely brought back memories of my younger days hitting this place up Would definitely go again read more

Have been here multiple times. Very convenient location and consistent for food quality. I got the unbruvleable on a Belgian waffle and stormy weather ice coffee. The waffle came with a giant scoop of ice cream and creme bruleed bananas. It was delicious and I would definitely order it again. The desserts came out soon after ordering and always look super appealing. Would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion. The service is a bit slow as there doesn't seem to be too many servers versus the number of tables that they tend to. They are super friendly but it was relatively slow service. Love the decor and overall decorations of this venue. read more

Haven't had Demetres in years. My friends and I wanted dessert and decided to come here. Food ($$$$): 3.75/5 - I was shocked at how expensive it became. There were a lot of menu items that are no longer on there. The waffles/crepe with icecream and toppings are now $27.75 + tax. I think the portions before were a bit bigger than what my friends got. I got a single scoop of mango sorbet for $10 + tax. The icecream came in a martini-like glass. It was on the more tart side but I don't mind. According to the description, it was supposed to come with granishes/toppings but mine was just the sorbet. Service: 5/5 - the server that helped us was super friendly and patient with us. We were having difficulty choosing what dessert we wanted. Ambiance: 4/5 - well lit, had a lot of seats but the tables and seats were definitely quite close to each other Overall: 3.75/5 - I wouldn't deliberately drive here for dessert but if I was around the area, I might just opt to share an order with my friends. read more

Visited this location on a weekday evening, they were somewhat busy, but didn't have to wait for a seat. It was their first day that they introduced the summer menu, and the server took her time to explain the new items to us. Service here was excellent from beginning to end. I ordered the chocolate icecream crepe, this location by far was the fastest in bringing out my food. The quality of the crepe was very good - it was soft and pillowy. The chocolate icecream had a bit of chew to it. Overall, a good choice and will satisfy that chocolate craving. read more

The crepe and ice-cream looks stunning when served at my table. Excellent opportunity to update my instagram! Usually, I am afraid of the extra sweetness of dessert of this kind, however, the vanilla flavour that I chose was relatively light but with a good taste. The ice-cream is best when served with the crepe, Nutella and fruits. Will definitely come back for more before the summer ends. The service was good, the waiter was really welcoming and warm. read more

The place is nice. Nicely decorated and brightly coloured. That's probably one of the few nice things I can say unfortunately. There were 4 other tables dining, most of which already had their food. We waited a few minutes to be greeted. The waitress only greeted us the third time she walked past us. Didn't acknowledge us or anything the first couple times. Just walked by. Service was painfully slow. After we were sat, we waited another 10-15 minutes before she came back with water and to take our order. Also, we noticed the table was dirty still, there was ice cream on a decorative flower pot with fake flowers. The flowers had chocolate on them too. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The ice cream was creamy and had good flavour. It was a decent sized portion. It was mega sweet though but that's just my opinion. I wouldn't go back nor would i recommend it. read more

This is my first time at Demetres after eyeing it a few times, plus they're open till 12am. I went on a Saturday evening and the place was packed! I was told to add number to a waiting list and I'll get a text once the table is ready. I love this service. I ended up getting a text about 10 mins later saying that the table is ready. We were seated all the way at the end near the washroom and the space was quite tight and I was back to back with someone else. Since I can't have regular ice cream due to the dairy, I was hoping to see more vegan options, but only the 2 sorbets on the menu were marked with the green v and 2 fruit smoothies. One was the banana passion fruit sorbet and the other was a Mango one. If you don't go with one of the set menu items, you can choose your base (crepe, waffles, liege), an ice scoop of your choice and up to 3 toppings. I ended up ordering the waffle with a scoop of the banana passion fruit sorbet, with slices of banana, strawberry coulis and oreo pieces. It must have been super loud in that place because two items were wrong on my order. They ended up giving me the Mango sorbet instead of banana passion fruit, and instead of banana slice I got strawberry slices. I was going to flag the waiter down but I saw that he was super busy running around so I just said screwed it and enjoyed the dessert anyways. It is huge, enough to split between 2 people. The sorbet was refreshing and the waffle tasted like a solid waffle. It's still pricey tho for 20 bucks a waffle. Overall, wish they had more vegan options, not just ice cream sorbets, but other options too like the cookie sandwiches etc. read more

First impression of demetres is the great customer service. They were attentive and welcoming. Answered questions on the type of dessert they would suggest and why. Provided me with the available options. We ordered the pomme pilot crepe to share and it the presentation was scrumptious. The plating was clean and delicately organized and salivating. Quality of the food: fresh and warm. The flavour of the white chocolate ice cream was perfect. The crêpe was all right texture could be better but the flavour was fine. Apples were a big letdown the apple flavour was non existent and the dish relied to heavily on sugar sweet and cinnamon flavours. read more

Today I went to Demetres Shops at Don Mills! I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted so warmly by the host. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. With her recommendation, I tried the My Main Squeeze on a Liege waffle. I must say if you like lemon meringue, this one is for you! This dessert is seasonal and so it's only available for a limited time. It came with a lemon Icecream topped with blueberries and drizzled with lemon curd. It was full of yummy in my tummy! Loved every bite of it and would come back for more! Fantastic! read more

I really wanted to like this Demetres. The food is like all the other locations (very expensive overpriced desserts) but they have done a great job with the décor and it's a lovely space. I loved the pink benches, which gave off serious Wes Anderson vibes. However, the service was severely lacking and ruined the experience. We came on a Sunday afternoon and spent a lot of time trying to get the attention of our waitress. Any step of the restaurant process that involved some type of service, there would be a long wait. I do appreciate that she was taking care of several tables, but she literally seemed to disappear at times. What really pissed me off was that when we went to pay, we waited soooooo long to get our bill. When we finally got the bill, I think she forgot about us because we had to flag down another waiter to ask for the card machine. Even then, she did not show up to ring us up. I ended up dropping down cash and walking out of there because waiting for change would have been another 30 minutes. If I'm paying nearly $10 for a drink, I expect at least a smooth transaction over being gouged for the money. Also, another annoying service point was new patrons were told to wait even though there were plenty of empty tables. We sat by the entrance so I watched many people came in, wait for a table (or even to be acknowledged) got fed up and just left. read more

I ordered the Moo Lala crepe and I thought the presentation of the dessert was very large and plated really pretty and large enough to feed two people. Crepes are usually really flat so added height from the ice cream makes it more appealing. I thought the crepe was soft, the ice cream was great quality and you can taste the ferrero chunks and flavour, the hazelnut praline was such a great added crunch factor but I thought the bananas were just so-so because it added too much extra sweetness. The hostess greeted and seated us right away and the waitress was always checking in and making sure everything was OK and attending to any of our needs. Highly reccomend! read more

Dessert for Dinner? That's basically what you'll be getting at Demetres. Demetres used to be my favourite spot for dessert, however they have recently rebranded and changed their menu's. The new Demetres looks like something out of the New Yorker. My sister ordered a crepe with Nutella and strawberries. I ordered my own little creation of Brûlée'd Bananas, White Chocolate ice cream, Butter Caramel Sauce, Pecan Croquets, on top of a Belgium waffle. The portion is huge and it was pretty much my dinner. I wish the service was a bit better but overall is was good. Keep Eating, Angela read more

First thing's first, even if you have a sweet tooth, I recommend sharing your dessert. The Brownie Points cheesecake that we got was easily shareable between 3 people. It was a good amount of dessert but it was also just insanely sweet so none of us were able to eat too much of it. It might be deceptively hard to finish. Don't bother trying to use the extremely enticing Yelp check-in offer here because no one understands it. The offer is a free $10 gift card for your next visit. It says this after you hit check-in. I showed this to my server and he kept telling me that I can't use it until the next visit which is fine but I still needed the free gift card to be able to do that. He was just super confused though because he kept saying yes bring your phone/coupon back next time. So they have no idea what Yelp is or how it works and it's easier to just not ask. They couldn't not understand that it was part of Yelp and that the check-in offer "coupon" doesn't just update based on how many times you checked in. He even went to go talk to his manager about it and came back saying they couldn't do anything. We were there during a rain storm and the women's single stall bathroom was dripping water from the ceiling. I tried to open the door to get in and hit something which turned out to be the trash can. It's very small in there and the trash can was directly in front of the toilet to catch the water from the ceiling. You legit had to sit on the side of the toilet to avoid being dripped on. Luckily I only had to wash my hands. read more

This was my first visit to this specific Demetres location. I'm not going to lie, we came here after dinner because when we walked by prior to going to dinner else where, there was not a soul (customers) in sight. We saw two workers and a bunch of very lonely tables. We felt really bad...so we agreed that we would make a visit after our dinner reservations. Fast forward about an hour later...the place was buzzing!!! There were still tables open but to our surprise, there were many front of the house tables filled as well. This location is spacious. Lots of seating for big or small groups. There only seem to be one server (that we saw). She was doing everything - greeting, seating, serving and working all tables. Mega kudos to her. According to our receipt, her name was Shelia. She was very friendly and attentive even with all the tables she was attending to. We ordered the Moo La La crepe! Roché ice cream paired with sliced bananas, Nutella and praliné croquant on top of a crepe...heaven! This is one of our favourite Demetres items and it definitely did not disappoint tonight. Presentation was lovely. Tastes was absolutely fantastic. The praliné croquant gives it nice little added crunch in every bite. Great visit overall. We will definitely be back! read more
