| - Caffe Demetre is a must-visit if you're a fan of desserts or sweets. It was my first visit on a Sunday night, but finding parking was surprisingly pretty difficult. I went with a friend and arrived at about 8:30 p.m. with no line-up. However, a line started to form around 9:00 p.m., so try to come earlier if you can, especially on the weekends. It would probably be better to go in smaller groups (I suggest maybe 2-4 people).
I was pretty surprised how colourful the menus were and the variety of dishes Caffe Demetre had, so you would certainly find something you would like. I ordered the Robert Brownie Jr. crepe, while my friend ordered the Smashin Pumpkins Belgian Waffle. Some of the other menu items had funny names too (such as Moo La La). It would be a good idea to visit Caffe Demetre if your dinner wasn't filling enough, but make sure you have room in your stomach because the portions are very large. Both my friend and I are relatively big eaters, and we almost had trouble finishing the desserts ourselves.
I was very impressed with the amount of ice cream that our desserts had since I was expecting a much smaller portion size. I also liked how it was a unique specialty flavour: honey vanilla. There are also other flavours to choose from, but it depends which dessert you order. Although the crepe seems a bit ordinary at first glance, it tasted very soft and complemented the ice cream very well. The toppings that came with the Robert Brownie Jr. also included peanut butter sauce and brownies. These were great additions and made the dessert more unique. The sauce was very smooth, however, I did find that the brownies were a bit sweeter than I would have liked. Regardless, they were very easy to eat since they were in bite-sized pieces. My friend really liked his dessert as well and felt that the toppings and scoop size were balanced. In addition, the waffle was large enough to satisfy him. Overall, the presentation of both of our desserts was very appetizing. The service was also excellent since our food came pretty quickly (around 15 minutes), and there was no need to ask the server for the cutlery. It's like they're trained to give it to you a few minutes before the desserts arrive (not too early or too late before the desserts arrive).
One downside would definitely be the prices. Although the desserts were delicious and Caffe Demetre uses quality ingredients, both of our orders were around $14. With tax included for just a party of two, the bill will come to about $30, which is quite pricey for a pure dessert place. Another downside is that the seats are a bit cramped. The other tables were pretty close to ours and there is not a lot of walking space for certain parts of Caffe Demetre. However, it wasn't claustrophobic, so it was not a big problem.
I would definitely visit Caffe Demetre again for the unique desserts especially since it's a great place to sit down and have a conversation.
