Caffe Demetre

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, not many people. I ordered The OC (Oreo Milkshake) and my girlfriend got 2 scoops of ice cream (honey vanilla & PSL).
Takeaways
1. Portions are huge so better to share
2. Food is very sweet
3. Desserts are around $ 7-​$ 15
We didn’t finish our order instead we finished our water because it was just too sweet. We were light headed after eating.
I would not recommend this place.

Puurfect!!! I’ve been here several times but the most recent visit was the best! I’m very hesitant to try anything with pumpkin so when my boyfriend suggested it, I just had to go with it. It was heaven! I did not expect it to go so well with strawberries and banana. Oh btw, we ordered the DIY waffle with nutella. We’re definitely going back there while PSL is still in season.

I would have given this a negative star, if I was able to.
So, my boyfriend and I walked into the café, and the manager told us to sit at this tiny little place. We kind of wanted to sit by the window, but then she came up and told us not to. The place was not that packed, but we let it go by.
Anyways, so we ordered our desserts, and then we waited for an hour and half to get our desserts and milkshake. an hour and a half. that’s a little extreme. But, we waited.
When we got our desserts, it wasn’t good. It was very very sweet, and the milkshakes were really thick. And I didn’t eat it.
We then asked for our bill, and believe it or not, we had to wait for half an hour to get our bill. Yes, we also asked like 3 people for our bill.
I would definitely not ever go back here again. nope.

Horrible location. From the moment I walked in the door, I was not welcomed. The staff are miserable and make your experience there horrible.
Here’s what happened during my stay here:
1) When we walked in, the staff just stared at us as if it was so awful that they had more customers. We stood there awkwardly like animals in a zoo until a host seated us.
2) The table we sat at wasn’t clean. We asked them to wipe it down or move to a clean table. but as I said this I looked around and realized all the tables are dirty. They only seem to wipe it down when they seat a table there. It wasn’t appetizing at all.
3) They brought us 2 glasses of water. No ice isn’t nice, but that’s what we got. The cups smelt HORRIBLE. As if they were hanging out in the washroom. Again, not appetizing.
4) We asked for 2 cappuccinos and a crêpe. The crêpe was ready before the cappuccino. I don’t know about you, but I like to drink my cappuccinos while I’m eating something sweet. Not after. Clearly they need better coordination between the barista and the dessert crew.
5) As we finished, we sat there looking around for our waitress who was nowhere to be found. I walked to the washroom while we were waiting to get the bill and noticed her standing in the back laughing with her colleagues. We had a movie to catch so I wasn’t impressed. Normally waiters do a table check but she never asked us how things were or if we needed anything else. For a slow Sunday evening I would expect better service.
6) I’ve also seen the owner yell at children. He is a disgruntled man who hates children being in his restaurant. There was a large party of 20 people with a few children sitting across from me. A few of these children had menus and were looking at them. He went over and took it out of their hands so viciously and said it wasn’t for them. How RUDE. If those were my children, I would have walked out of there and taken my crew of 20 people with me.
7) Finally, we got a hold of one of the waiters and asked if they could get our server. This took another few minutes. Finally, she came by and asked how everything was. A little late if you ask me. I told her it was good, as I didn’t want to be confrontational at that point. I told her we were in a rush and needed to catch a movie. She told us she would be right back with the bill, which took another few minutes. My husband paid the bill and left a generous tip despite the horrid service. She told us not to worry about being late for the movie because of the trailers. First off. not her place at all to say such a thing since she should be apologizing for being the cause of the lateness. Second of all, some people LIKE the trailers.

Love this location! They are always packed but get you seated as soon as they can. The portions are huge and their desserts are amazing. Very delicious!!! Been going to this location for years, best Demetres location!!!

Great place for a late night snack or chat with friends or a date. This place can get very busy and has long wait lines. Desserts are great. They recently updated the menu. You definitely go for the dessert, not for the service. Service is average. Some tables can be quite close together. That’s so they can accommodate more people. Worth trying.

I’ve always loved loved loved Demetres! Ever since my high school days!
You have a crazy selection of desserts so it’s great depending on how hungry you or how much of a sweet tooth you’ve got. You can get something as complex as ice cream with crepes/​waffles with brownie pieces and syrup or something as simple as a milkshake.
Personal history: I’ve previously tried the Tongue Depressor (from what I can remember, it’s basically all the goodness I previously mentioned but it is pretty big so prepare your stomach), Nutella milkshake (yummy) and One Smart Cookie (I think that’s the name! Basically chocolate/​Nutella ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies and resting on Nutella spread… SO good!
The service is usually very quick but it can depend on how busy they are. When I had the cookie, they were pretty busy so I waited quite a bit for my dessert but overall, I’d say their timing is pretty reasonable.
It’s a good sized venue so you’ve got tables and chairs or booths and the interior design is quite lovely. One thing I absolutely love about them is their creativity with naming their desserts! Take a trip there and see for yourself :)
Definitely recommend!

oh boy! for some reason I always hate waiting in line, but again right next door to Prince Sushi was Demetres. Coming here after 10pm was a mistake, most probably because the movie crowds were coming straight to this place. HOwever luck must had been on our sides as we didnt have to wait too too long lol… YES the FOOD GODZ are on our side! firstly this place was quite loud! but again its no surprise.
The service was at par, mainly because this place was busy, so I can’t really blame our server.
In terms of desserts, since we were so full, I decided to play it safe with their Mint tea and my friend opted for a macchiato… which was too big lol… but she ALMOST finished it :)
overall Demetre’s has always kept it positive reputation as a go-​to dessert café.

Much better service Sat night even though they were packed.
We waited 5 min, seated, ordered and had desserts –all within an hour
Great service, good desserts
Ice cream and cheesecake is always a great combo!

Go to spot for dessert. The menu is literally massive with lots of mouthwatering choices accompanied with quite punny names. I usually end up building my own waffle — choice of three toppings with the option of ice cream. Love love love the Belgian waffles. Worth the extra. Of course, these desserts are almost as massive as the menu and are best shared.
The service is friendly enough although the ratio of waitstaff to tables is a bit atrocious so water refills are pretty much nonexistent. I do find the tables are a bit small and on crowded nights, table arrangements and chairs makes it hard to walk around.
I can’t say I’ve actually finished a dessert here on my own yet but I always try! One day.

I have been doing to this Caffe Demetre for about 10 years now and have only had a few mishaps (one time was so bad I actually wanted to leave and not pay). When I came in for 8:00pm with a friend we were seated promptly and our waiter came right away for our drink order. The portions here are way generous and I feel like I could have shared with my friend. My friend got a crêpe with vanilla ice cream, caramel, and glazed apples. I got the chocolate cheese cake. Everything was super tasty. I was so full and probably should have gone to the gym afterwards.
More into our visit the service from our waiter was getting a bit sparse but when I asked him why he told me that they were short staffed. He was still able to check up on us a few times which was nice.

Desserts are great, however customer service is subpar to poor. Not sure if it’s new management but over the last few visits I’ve seen the waiters forcefully rush patrons out the door when they notice plates getting empty.
Tonight we were abruptly handed our bill right as my colleagues and I were finishing our coffees. We were taken back by how quickly they slammed the bill down, expecting us to pay and get out asap.
It was apparent the owner was trying to cram in as many customers as possible at short intervals to drum up more business sadly at the cost of good customer service…
Wouldn’t recommend this location if you are out on a date, or out with the family looking for a nice way to wind down the evening — you will definitely feel rushed.

I feel like I’ve recently rediscovered my inner fatso and love for all things sweet and delicious… enter Caffe Demetre :)
A fun spot with lots of sweet treats to satisfy all the picky sorts. In recent rendezvous at Demetre’s I’ve had the following waffles: Moo La La, Hokey Pokey, and A Life Sentence. I highly recommend all three. If you like something that’s not as sweet as the rest, probably go with the Hokey Pokey. And if you’re a chocolate and peanut butter fan, you must try A Life Sentence. Be prepared for the sugar high that follows.
Remember the portions are HUGE and best if shared… but if you can get through the whole thing on your own then you deserve a pat on the back!
The service at Demetre’s is pretty good. Waters were refilled without having to ask or wait and the desserts make it to the table quite quickly.
Overall, if you’re in the mood to (over) indulge, do stop by :)

If you have a sweet tooth this place will satisfy. Be prepared to wait a long time though especially if you go at night. It is in the same plaza as a movie theater so there are always tons of people nearby this place.
I’ve only ever gotten the Tongue Depressor because I love chocolate. The first time I couldn’t even finish it because it was way too sweet for me. Second time I went I was able to finish it but man that is a lot of chocolate and sweet for one sitting.

It’s simple, if you want the best dessert in a 20 km radius, this is the place. Have been going here for years with my girlfriend, now wife, and now with baby also. You will have a completely different experience here as opposed to the other locations nearby.

The bf took me here as a treat since I was visiting. Came around 10 PM and boy was it PACKED. I didn’t think that many people would be out at this time. We didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes.
Once we were seated it took me awhile to figure out what I wanted exactly. Seeing that the menu is quite large, I was told that everything was great. I ended up choosing the scoop dogg. Since it didn’t come in a single scoop, I thought I could handle the 2 scoop on my own. It was great… until the end it got quite sweet and I ended up ordering a coffee to cut the sweetness.
I’d definitely come back again to try some of their other desserts.

I’m a dessert person, but I don’t drop everything when I’m asked to go. Their food is kinda pricey, but their portions are a bit bigger & super fancy looking, so it’s kinda justified.
Overall, I’d go there if I was in the area. The quality is good, the service is good unless it’s packed, then it gets slow, but it’s understandable.
Overall, this place is good.

This place is definitely great for quality desserts. I ordered a Choc this Way sundae which is a great choice for chocoholics. The only issue that day was how understaffed they were. Given that this place is pretty popular, we waited quite a bit for our ice cream which was already ready and sitting on the counter for 10 minutes before our server brought them to us. Overall, a great place that I’d recommend to friends.

Wow this place can provide high sugar levels!
The place is nice but does get really packed at point so you might have to wait now and then. The Caffe is located in Courtney park plaza opposite to cineplex and shoeless joes.
The do have a lot of variety in desert but I always prefer their hot drinks. I have tried their Ice Cream Crepes, cakes, Cappuccino, Double Latte, Organic Teas, Plain ice creams and I will have to say their stuff is above average and not bad.
The service at this location can be slow at times but it does get busy on them. The staff is quite friendly. The Caffe is designed nicely as there is plenty of seats and in summer they have seat outside as well.

What you need to know?
1. Desserts range around $ 9 — $ 20

My Advice?
1. Order one plate and share. One plate/​3 people, easy.
