When I am hankering for a sinful late night dessert Demetre's is always near the top of my list because they will always have something to satisfy my ENORMOUS sweet tooth.
I have been to this location a few times and have always had a pleasant experience. On my most recent visit a friend and I came here after dinner to indulge in some dessert. The place was barely half full since it was a weekday evening, I have been here on weekends and they do get pretty busy. My friend and I decided to share a waffle and the task of choosing the waffle was left up to me, I decided to venture away from my first love (their nutella ice cream) and go for the "life sentence" waffle. This waffle came with peanut butter ice cream, chocolate brownie pieces, bananas and chocolate sauce. No need to adjust your computer screen, you read the succession of ingredients correctly. I suppose they call it the "life sentence" because if you ever finish one on your own it will take a lifetime of exercise to burn it off.
Our waffle took a while to be made but was definitely worth the wait. OMFG the peanut butter ice cream was ridiculous, not only did it have an intense peanut butter flavour but also had whole peanuts and chocolate chunks in it, it was over the top delicious. The brownie pieces were quite decadent (but a little heavy) and bananas are always a great compliment to peanut butter. The waffle came in a cute flower shape; it was crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. This was probably the most well put together waffle I have had at any Demetre's, the single scoop of ice cream was ginormous and looked like 3 scoops had morphed into 1 mega scoop, the other toppings were piled on generously which made this ideal for sharing and more than justified the $13 price tag.
The service here has always been good and in my experience they are willing to accommodate any special requests. As many have noted the décor at this particular location is quite dated, they are also lacking a patio which the Markham location has. This place is easily accessible by car or transit and is a great destination for all kinds of desserts. Now excuse me while I go grab some insulin
