Horrible service and horrible food. I've been to my fair share of Demetre's in Ontario and I have to say, this one is really really bad. Upon walking in, there is a sign to seat yourself. After that we waved down a waiter for menus and it took another 30 minutes for the waiter to come take our order even though the restaurant was completely empty and there were 2 staff working.

My friend... more

I went in there, trying to calm my mad sweet tooth. The cakes looked promising. After being ignored by the staff for a good ten minutes, I left. I ended up going to Panela Bakery on Yonge street (which I recommend).

Very tasty. I had an item with ice cream in a cone with strawberries... delicious. The only downside is the overly confusing menu. It is large, hard to understand and just bad. The waitress must have been new because she had no clue what was going on either.

This is the best desert place out there! They have it all and everything is delicious! Although it is a bit dirty in there I love it and the best is the apple pie and ice cream!

Yes, to Caffe Demetre anytime! I'm In love with their gorgeous waffle with honey vanilla ice cream, slivers of strawberry, white melted chocolate drizzle and strawberry homemade coulis. Also the crepe is a bit more calorie conscious, buts so000ooo delectable with a chunky creamy ball of honey vanilla ice cream, fresh kiwi, clementines, strawberry, banana, grapes and cantaloupe chunks. It's... more

I really love the extensive dessert options they have at every location. You can get anything, and they give you A LOT, so make sure you come here prepared for a dessert meal not just bite. The customer service was good, can't complain. The interiors are nice, and clean. I would come back again for desserts!

Great place! Had the waffle with one scoop of ice cream with Apple crisp, pralines and caramel. Daughter had the crepe. Delicious!!

Always happy to be at a demetres. Although I did notice that the menu options were reduced from before, I still enjoy the crepes. This time opted for a sundae "choc this way". Did not disappoint-huge brownie chunks, delicious chocolate ice cream. I also HIGHLY recommend the belgian dark hot chocolate.

If you're in the mood for an over-the-top, sugar-coma inducing, beautiful dessert, then look no further than Demetres. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but have been to several of their locations and have always enjoyed what I've ordered. The presentation is always particularly inviting - everything comes out photo-shoot ready.

On this particular occasion, three of us shared the Say Cheese... more

Came here for late night dessert and the service was good. Ordered a 2 scoop ice cream: Roche and coco Chanel. My friends both ordered crepes. The presentation was very good, whip cream with a fresh cherry on top... Not the preserved kind. Overall was a good treat, hard to finish by yourself so share if you can. Parking is a bit of an issue, street parking is all I saw and there was... more

Came here after seeing a movie with some friends and I gotta say, this place was better than I expected. The menu had quite a large selection of items. My bf and I got a banana split and it was very good. The servers were full of smiles and our desserts arrived quickly. A bit on the expensive side but is satisfying and worth the money. Will definitely come back here in the future.

We visited this chain restaurant meant for desserts a second time and liked it.

Came in here on a Saturday night after having dinner in the area in a restaurant that did not offer dessert. Ordered the Brownie Points for 2 (Salted Caramel Fudge Brownie Cheesecake * Cocoa Chanel Iced Cream * Salted Caramel Sauce) when I was initially thinking of ordering that + a slice of cheesecake (which they had run out of). This could've turned into a true rookie mistake because the one... more

Honestly amazing deserts. My wife and I stopped by as we were going for a stroll. Great selection of cakes and ice cream

The reason North Americans are obese

The portions here are unnecessarily enormous. We had already been out for dinner and opted for a single scoop sundae each as dessert, as this was the smallest item on the menu. When our desserts arrived, they were gigantic! It was too much food for one person to eat comfortably. The ice cream was good, but after a few spoonfuls... more

I cannot even begin to comment on how ridiculously AWESOME this place is! I came here with my 4-yr-old niece and cousin on 06/29/2014 and we were greeted with such welcoming smiles. The menu is huge and not of a child's portion! I ordered the La Vida Mocha and it was huge! for the price you pay, you could share this with another person.

The service was quick & the atmosphere was upbeat. Maybe... more

Three Cheers for Dessert

Great place for late night desserts. The staff were friendly and attentive although they probably could have used more people on that shift. Desserts are HUGE, good for sharing. Probably not the ideal place to go if you're on some sort of no-sugar diet but otherwise, a good time!

Today was the first day I got the taste of discrimination in Toronto ....... Went in with my kids and wife and the stroller, once we found the seats the guy came to us and said dont block the way with the stroller in a very weird and rude way and then left without giving us the menu. Came back as soon as a white couple and an African American family came in to give them the menu and swiftly... more

This place was HORRID!! I was in a living nightmare! I went here with a friend and we don't have that much of a sweet tooth. So we ordered a small mint chocolate chip,a caramel ice cream and two bowls of fruit. We got our ice creams and they tasted weird. For mint chocolate chip? I mean come on! Then our "bowls of fruit" came. Unless if a cherry counts as a bowl and fruit, then fine. As I was... more

I went here with a friend after I had a not so great experience at the Whitby location. I ordered the same food (waffle with fresh fruit and a hot chocolate) and it was identical to the one received in whitby. The hot chocolate was luke-warm and the waffle was good but tasted like the batter was out of a box. I definitely didn't think it was worth the price.

After trying the two locations, I... more

Only for those with a sweet tooth

I didn't care too much for this restaurant. I went with a group of friends and did not want to have a sugary dessert so I opted for a smoothie which the server assured me had no added sugar, just blended fruits, yogurt and ice. He was wrong! I've had my fair share of smoothies to know this one was... more

How do u run out of peppermint tea and baileys on a saturday night! And on top of that you charge me $.95 for hot water and lemon. ... :-( smdh!

Really cool place to have desert. Huge portions so you can even have them as main dish. Waffle in particular were delicious. Crepe was also good. I saw others have milk shakes which seemed amazing. Definitely worth to go more than once to try different sweets.

Love this location. LOVE! The atmosphere is super quiet and chill, and the staff are so sweet and kind. I've never been dissapointed. Would definitely recommend!

They really hate their customers!
Terrible service, with attitude.
DO NOT use the washrooms..... the smell alone will stop you at the door. Its filthy and needs renovations - and some cleaner! Yuk!

I've been 2x and will never go back

It's a desert restaurant. They pretty much have something for everyone, from crepes to ice cream to cheesecake. A slice of cheesecake costs $7-$9, without tax or tip. The portions are huge, so if you aren't coming with an empty stomach, chances are you won't be able to finish a serving on your own.

Ideal after dinner dessert place

If you like waffles, crepes and generous portions of ice cream do not miss this place. We went there after dinner and it was a very sweet and pleasant experience. The portions are huge, so order carefully.

This is a great place for sugary sweet desserts! They have a great selection of crepes and waffles, as well as cakes. Compared to the Demetre's in Burlington, the cake selection at this place was limited. I went for the strawberry and creme crepe. Soooo tasty...a good serving size that can be shared between two. I think the crepe was around $10-12.

I was here on a Saturday around 11pm. Easy to... more

Best desserts...Great service & Staff. Location is very close to me. Price is also great. My favourite is the Sweet Car dessert on a crepe. Chocolate ice cream on a crepe with whipped cream, Chocolate sauce, Strawberries and I always add bananas. Love this place.

yummy desserts

There's not many dessert places in Toronto. Demeteres is a chain but they are consistent service waffles, crepes, and cakes. I don't think their menu has changed in about 10 years but that's okay.
I had apple filling with ice cream on top of a waffle. Everything was fresh and tasty. Generally speaking I find the service to be quick... more

Great desserts

If you like waffles with fruit and chocolate or whipped cream, this is the place for you. They also have crepes and some cakes

I love their crepes. I really do! I love the dessert titles a little more than the actual dessert though :)) I couldn't help but to giggle when I ordered something that ended with Moomoo! lol Our bill came to $40. A waffle and a crepe with Nutella and ice cream in both is more than enough for a party of 5 people. By the end of this experience we were all so full that we could barely get up and... more

so...good

amazing desserts, and huge portions. really, could you get any better? no. the answer is no. the prices can be a bit ridiculous, but the portions are huge and I think that's how they can pull it off. Definitely wouldn't recommend this to anyone on a diet.

Great treat after dinner

A great place to hit up a nice dinner out with friends, and even better way to lengthen a nice date! For years Ive been coming here for a late and the Streetcar Named Desire crepe and I will keep going back as long as it stays!

Bad food and Bad Service

I have been going to Caffe Demetre since 2005. As the years go by the deserts and wait time becomes atrocious. My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon and wait time was 30 minutes for a table. After the waiter set us a table and wait time for food starts. Wait time for food was 1:15 minutes. When... more

Excellent portion sizes, Great dessert option

I always come away happy from Demetre's. Whether their Danforth or Royal York location, you'll be treated to delicious ice-cream, nice decor and massive servings that will leave you satisfied but definitely wondering "why did I just do that". Demetre's is an excellent choice to go to split desserts after you've already eaten dinner somewhere else. Recommended!

Good Price, Great Dessert

Very generous helpings of ice cream and toppings, if you're in it for the quantity you'll be very pleased. Service at this location has been improving greatly over the last 12 months. Even when service was terrible, it was still worth the visit for the ice cream alone, but now they've got some great team members and overall it ends... more

Service food and atmosphere excellent

Would recommend this place if you're at Carmel. We were greeted by the owner who made sure we enjoyed the evening. I love the decor in this place which adds to the lovely cosy atmosphere. The food is delicious and portions are very generous so we unfortunately never made it to dessert.

This place has the most expansive dessert menu I've seen yet. There's much to choose from, including crepes, cakes, waffles, pies, and ice creams.

Portions are huge and are therefore ideal for sharing. I ordered the apple pie with ice cream; my only complaint about it is that there was way too much icing sugar dusted on top (maybe next time I'll ask for it without the sugar).

The place is a... more

the best dessert cafe

in my opinion demetre is the best for the desserts in the city...prices are low,portions are really big and the quality of food is high..i went here with my friend we were sitting at the patio in the summer..it was amazing! if u have a date with a girl and dont know where to go DEMETRE is exactly the right... more

If the owners of this Demetre's are on Yelp here's my message to you: You cannot run a dessert place as big as yours with just ONE server and ONE man making the crepes etcetera. Stop being a scrooge and hire more employees. Trust me, it can only BOOST your business!

I live in the East end, and there aren't many choices in terms of places to go for dessert save for bubble tea or Café Mirage at... more

I love dessert, and this place has enough variety on their menu to take care of most of my cravings. Everything I have had so far tasted as it looked/was described, delicious! The staff is always nice and relaxed. They are not in your face too much, but around enough to get you your stuff. This is a good spot to enjoy some forbidden calories, without getting rushed out.

One thing that needs... more

Desert for Dinner

My mom and I went there as we had a late lunch and were craving something sweet for dinner. It was amazing!! Really very good. The Banana Nutella Crepes, Cappuccinos and Apple Pie à la Mode are perfect! Great services as well.

Well if you read my review on Sushi Kai.. you will understand why we proceeded to Demetre for some dessert.

We were mostly full from our c@!%!y dinner at Sushi Kai so we shared a slice of Double Fudge Chocolate cake to be exact!!

OMG!! it is good!!! Moist, hmm hmm good chocolate-yummy-goodness! And we had asked for 2 glasses of water.. and the server kept coming back to fill up our water.. he... more

Came here this afternoon (12.23.10).

For a good hour, we were the only patrons in the establishment. I will give them the benefit of the doubt as it was mid-day on a weekday.

The menu is extensive with various desserts - ice cream, crepes, waffles etc. I decided to start with an espresso, while I contemplated getting something sweet. As we passed the hour mark, a couple of other patrons... more

I personally would not come to this location ever again. I've been twice on a date and it was horrible service and the food did not taste like it does other times ive been at other locations.
Its very small and not very clean.

I'm never going back to Café Demetre again.

I've visited Cafe Demetre at this location a couple of times. Their menu looked exciting and they have a variety of things. However, once I got my order, I realized that the desserts were okay and nothing great.

The service was almost non-existent while I was there and the staff always looked bored or displeased about something. I also thought that... more

Poor quality, service

Used to be a regular to Demetre for their ice cream concoctions, variety, presentation and quality. Last time I ate, the apple pie was dry and old, they covered it with vanilla ice cream to cover the stale crust. Then tried the apple crepe, which was all served cold from the crepe, to the topping, like the crepe was made... more

Even though I've lived within 10 minutes of Cafe Demetre for 5 months now, and have a tremendous sweet tooth, I've only gone here once. I had a crepe with peanut butter ice cream and bananas on it. I don't remember the name of it. The ice cream was awesome (I love peanut butter ice cream). The crepe I found a little bit rubbery - I guess that's how it's supposed to be though - I see that some... more

Great crepes

Great crepes!

This location in particular specializes in desserts, notably crepes. savory crepes are no longer on the menu.

portions are GINORMOUS! you've been warned.

the texture of their crepes is the best - soft, eggy, chewy, almost gooey without tasting overly rich - my favorite is the double strawberry, with fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce; make sure you order it with vanilla honey ice cream.

killer crepes

killer crepes!!

This location is one of the few late night sweet tooth options within walking distance for me (the others being a Slurpee at 7/Eleven or an overpriced candy binge at Sugar Mountain). It's not fancy and it can get pretty crowded and loud on the weekends, but it does the trick in a pinch.

Skip the pre-made desserts (despite their fun movie-themed names) and look on the back flap of the menu for... more

like the others, not many choices for the lactose intolerant

like the others, not many choices for the lactose intolerant.

This is the most popular dessert spot between Yonge and Bayview, along Eglintion Ave, which is right in the heart of 'uptown's downtown'.

It's a date destination. You will see small groups of friends and families at this location but it's a) definitately not geared towards children and b) has too many 2 seater booths at the back, to think otherwise! -lol

Go with an empty stomach...

I went to Demetre's with coquettish and another friend because I felt like indulging my sweet tooth. The place itself is pretty big and has a patio, which is nice when it's sunny. The menu has a lot to offer and is trying to be original and fun. We all ordered some tea and cakes. You'd better be really hungry because it's a lot to eat. None of us could finish the whole thing but if you want... more

Newspapers, good sandwiches and friendly service, this place

is good! My only complaint is the lack of seating (often) and the
sandwiches that are not stocked up. Otherwise I would give this
an excellent.

Great place to meet friends for coffee and desert. Menu selections
range from amazing cakes, waffles, ice cream and specialty coffees.

This is strictly a coffee and desert place. They offer awesome
crepes and waffles. The waffles are topped with fruit, sauces
and ice cream and are as filling as meal. The desert food is great
and well worth the trip for a little fun. The coffee though is disappointing
and very average.

excellent coffee and desert place in the heart of the city. known
for their variety deserts and coffee's. excellent place

to hangout with friends when a full meal is not required. dishes
are expensive relative to comparable venues.
