Caffe Demetre

Love this demetres location. Great staff, great service !! We end up going once a month. It was my husband’s birthday and they brought out a special plate along with our order and sang happy birthday.
The order is always correct, on time & tastes sooo good!
Definitely recommend to everyone.
We always bring our guests from out of town and they absolutely love the variety!

Love their waffle ! Great crowd, but be prepared to wait for few minutes before you get the seat especially on weekends.

STEP AWAY FROM THE CREPE BRITANY! Is what I need someone to say to me on a regular basis. I have been this Demetres far more times then I care to admit. I love strawberries and whip cream and tend to order Blush or the Last Straw. Recently I’ve decided to branch out and tried Pomme Pilot and Tongue Depressor. They were good but i’ll stick to my old faithfuls. For any of you that haven’t been the Demetres in a while they revamped their menu last year and now they have options for my lactose intolerant brothers and sisters. I’ve adapted a yolo attitude so it doesn’t really make a difference but I appreciate the effort. Don’t be fooled by the famous waffle and crêpe pictures they also offer cakes, sundaes, milkshakes, coffee, tea, etc. One of my favourite places to go to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Arrived at demetres to meet a friend who was already waiting to get seated for at least 10 minutes … after we arrived … waited another 15 minutes to secure a seat for three … me and my wife are regulars at demetres … so we don’t look at the menu. we order right away.
Asked the person who seated us that we are ready to order … he said no problem, he will send our server … about a minimum of 10 minutes passed by … the same person who seated us said he could not find our server and therefore he will take our order … so knowing what exactly I wanted … I go to order my crêpe … with strawberries … apparently they didn’t have strawberries … when asked why? The response was; it’s not the season and our supplier didn’t have them … ok … fair enough.. I was kind of upset as this is my regular crêpe … my wife convinced me to get apples instead. I agreed and asked the waiter to put apples on the side … my wife and our friend ordered hot drinks …
The 2 hot drinks come within 10 minutes … and I’m waiting for my crêpe … as my wife and our friend started sipping on their hot drinks … I started to eagerly look around for my crêpe … their drinks were about half way done. before my crêpe arrived … already being upset for not having strawberries … guess what? The apple topping was on top of the crêpe NOT on the side as ordered … the waiter agreed to make it right. another 5 minutes passed by and their hot drinks were finishing up … so I gave up and asked my waiter to bring the bill … and the bill arrived and sure enough that crêpe that never made it properly to my table was on the bill .
The bottom line … not impressed at all.

So me and my friend walked in, and we didn’t know whether or not to sit immediately or wait, but we sat immediately.
A guy came up to us and handed us menus (he wasn’t in uniform, but he said he worked there)
I was surprised that he even noticed us because the server was busy :)
Server came up to us pretty quick (he was the only server there) and we said our order.
With there being 5 other tables I was surprised he got to us fairly quick and that our desserts were ready in about 5 minutes. We were very satisfied.
My friend dropped his cookie and the server offered us a free one, and I was surprised cause we didn’t even ask for an extra one. He was very nice to us.
The desserts were great, made to perfection, doesn’t look rushed… looks like a great deal of care and perfection was done.
Definitely, will be coming back for the fast service and the perfectly made desserts!

perfect date night spot. Save your sweet tooth for a night at demetres Portions are big enough to share, I learned that the hard way! Love the cappuccino with the side mini biscotti. Cute little spot on those nights you don’t know where to go

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a demetries — at least 7 years and well before my gluten free life. In the past the experience has just been good — good food, nice ambience, kind of crowded, and halfway decent prices (hey, I was a student which meant $ 15 seemed more like $ 40).
Regardless, when an out of town friend chose that as the meeting space I checked online to see that they had gfree options and confirmed our date!
We went on a weekday (Monday actually) so it wasn’t busy at all, but still had business. I didn’t have the option of ordering any sort of crêpe or waffle (sadness) but ice cream sans gluteny-​things is always good too. I decided to order the «Katy Berry» which was a sundae with strawberry ice cream (made in house with strawberries marinaded in balsamic), strawberries, white chocolate drizzle (that hardened-​the best kind of chocolate drizzle!!) and whipped cream. The portion size was massive, especially considering the under $ 10 price tag. I was amazed! The ice cream was delicious, the strawberries were fresh and crisp, and the chocolate drizzle was so good I wanted to scrape it off the glass. The whipped cream was fairly flavorless but it bodes well with the mass amounts of sugar in the rest of the sundae. But here’s the part of the review where I share why I gave 5 stars (when 4 stars is clearly my go-​to). When I told him I needed gluten free and he confirmed that it was serious, he told me that they take gfree very seriously and make every effort to double wash items that are used for both gluten and non-​gluten items (like ice cream scoops) and to keep cross-​contamination from occurring as best they can (with the usual disclaimer). He was so earnest in ensuring my stomach safety that I couldn’t help but lose my usual feeling of potential gluten-​poisoning anxiety whenever I go out. Also, the fact that he didn’t say something like «so then do you want the waffle in the sundae??» made me happy. You wouldn’t believe the questions I get sometimes.
The website also had a very clear section on what items are gluten free and which aren’t. All of the toppings sauces and ice-​creams are gfree — excluding any that overtly include gluten, like cookie dough, brownies, etc. There were a surprising number of options available and while I hope they eventually expand to include gfree waffles and crepes, I will definitely be back again and again to enjoy their delicious ice cream!

Honestly it’s a dessert place… who couldn’t leave happy? It’s sinful decadence and worth every calorie and penny spent. The portions are large and generally I will ask for a ½ portion of Ice cream as I never finish. The hot couture is amazing and so are their teas. Staff are exceptional, attentive and very good at helping you decide on what would suit your current pallet. Love this place, it’s a must try if you’ve never been. It’s fairly inexpensive when compared to chain restaurant dessert prices and vastly more worth your while.

I love this place! The ice creams are so decadent and they have something for everyone. Waffles, crepes, sundaes, milkshakes or cakes there is an endless variety. The prices are also good and because the portions are generous a lot of the options can be split with friends! I am a Die hard fan! ^^
Quick side note the location at BCC does not offer the sweet and spicy peanuts even though its on their menu. Kinda dissapointing since I have my usual order, so peanut lovers beware!

How can you go wrong with dessert for dinner? I had the peanut butter cheesecake with peanut butter ice cream! Devine! Only 10 calories too lol others ordered crepes splits and it all looked great

Having came here a few times, I have to say that this Demetres is «just okay».
Being famous for their crepes (and waffles), I usually order one of the specialty crepes. The crepes made here tastes a bit bland compared to the other Demetres I’ve been to (Courtney Park, AMC). So once you take a bite, it is usually just the taste of the other toppings + ice cream.
The café also tends to be very busy during weekends and fridays (as you would expect), so the service will tend to be a bit sloppy (sometimes they forget to refill your water, or that you wanted to pay).

It’s probably the time of the month again. (you know what I mean)… When I arrive from school last night instead of eating dinner. .I craved for dark, moist sweet thing… so. I changed my uniform and I thought I’d go to demetre’s.. . and of course it didn’t disappoint me. I ordered Cocoa Ono. and I was in heaven!.:) I had to share it because the serving is too much for me. .
When I came here the first time the attendant recommended Chewbaklava. that one is great too. !
If you have a sweet tooth this place will never disappoint you. It may seem a little pricey but you get what you paid for.
This is one of the great places to vist when you feel like bonding with your friends or family. eating sweets makes you feel good. it’s makes you happy.. The ambiance here is nice.. The staff are friendly. but take note, you must eat everything slowly. take your time. enjoy… or else you’ll get sick of it easy. :)

excellent place to greatr desserts
wonderful variety
the wait staff are a bit on the pushy side

If you like ice cream, desert and coffee/​Latte this is the place to go to get your cravings fulfilled.
Big plates great to share…

Love the strawberry crepes. If you have a small stomach I suggest you share the crepes. Small and clean. Quaint location. Not crazy like the Courtney park local.

You know what I was honestly thinking three stars but this place is too unique and eclectic!
Desserts named after famous movies, waffles, crepes, icecream sundaes… and all this at 3:45 a. m? I rest my case.

I would say 2.5−3. I’m undecided. I probably wouldn’t go back here because I’m not the biggest crêpe fan and because I got extremely sick after (that was my own fault), but if a friend invited me I probably wouldn’t say no either.
I ordered the chocolate milkshake and a banana strawberry crêpe. They forgot the strawberries even though I paid extra, I didn’t say anything, our server was too nice and busy.
The milkshake was good but nothing special, I prefer Licks’ or William’s’ milkshakes over this one (and they’re a tad cheaper).
