When I heard Parental Unit 1' declare that we would be going out to Caffe Demetre before dinner, I knew that this place was going to pack a punch. You have to go hungry if you have any hope of finishing your dinner-sized serving of dessert.
Although we were a big group and hadn't made reservations, we were seated tout de suite. My second positive impression was the plenty pun-ny menu. I was told by veterans that this establishment is known for its decadently topped crepes and waffles and these were what the majority of our party ordered. It was difficult but I opted not to go for the chocolate options since that flavor was covered several fold by the other orders. Thus I settled on the waffle version of the Pomme Pilot which is topped with white chocolate ice cream. Indeed, although the ice cream could easily have been mistaken for vanilla, it definitely didn't taste like it and had a straightforward sugary taste. This item was also topped with a caramel/toffee crumble whose texture contrasted nicely with the fluffy waffles and creamy ice cream. The tastes I had of the other orders (Sweetcare Named Devour, Interstella and Tongue Depressor) were equally good. Personally I think the waffles are a better option than crepes because they soak up the ice cream and prevent a milky puddle in your plate.
The portions are not large. They are extra, extra large and the prices reflect this fact. If what you're looking for is dessert after an already sumptuous meal, kidnap 2 friends and share one order. Otherwise, prepare yourself to eat a week's worth of dessert in one sitting.
Overall, this was the best dessert venue I've ever been to. It was certainly worth the hype I had been hearing about for over five years!
