| - One of the places I always remind myself not to go to, but end up going back to again and again. Now, don't get me wrong! Demetres is a fine establishment. I'm just not that crazy about sweets. And this place definitely ramps up the sugar and decadence to a whole new level.
I never knew what to order, as the selections were expansive, intricate, and overwhelming! Luckily, they have a new menu (with clever headings), and more options for the folks that want something simpler, like me!
Came by with a friend and got myself the Cake and Coffee combo for $9.50. A pretty good deal, where I can balance the decadence of the cake with the bitterness of the coffee. The Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake was actually very good. Rich in chocolate flavour, while still being light and fluffy. Not something you get in a cheesecake very often!
My friend got the Last Straw Crepe. The crepe was beautifully thin and the ice cream was pleasantly sweet and light. Topped with strawberries, it was delightful!
A nice place to go to once in a while, but probably not my top pick for desserts. Again, the decadence level here is through the roof in my opinion! I didn't even finish all my cake! So if you're looking for something on the richer side, come to Demetres! If you're like me, I'd look into something else in the area...
