| - Not bad but not amazing, you know?
Came for a late dessert with my date on a Friday night around 10pm.
Here's what we saw; kids running back and forth on complete sugar highs, teeny boppers taking selfies with their alpha female, elderly couples on a nice Friday date, post fine dining dinner groups looking to fill their sweet tooth, exhausted parents, overly enthused servers.
Don't get me wrong, the above isn't necessarily a bad thing, just not what I expected at all. Aside from their cartoon-like menu, I expected a mix between the Second Cup ambiance and a gaze-through-the-window-at-the-chefs crepery. Do not be fooled. Caffe Demetre is more so a Chuck E Cheese dessert place for kids, at least during the time we went. I saw they stay open until 1:30am so maybe their customers die down and 'mature' (ugh, that word...) past 11pm.
I ordered a latte and Cappuccino Royale on a crepe while my date had the banana milkshake. It totally threw me off that the crepe and milkshake arrived before the latte but that's okay cause it all went into my belly in the end. Flavours were alright, a bit too much caramel for my likings but hey, I should have asked for less anyhow. The server explained that the cappuccino ice cream has fresh made espresso folded in - we thought that was the coolest! The crepe was light and I didn't feel too bogged down afterwards. It came to $29 without tip and I was a bit surprised to see I was charged for a large latte ($5) instead of a small ($3). I definitely received a large latte but didn't realize it until the bill came. I just assumed the default would be small... but I'm learning to never assume.
All in all, I'd return much later than 10pm and I'll order something with less caramel.
NOTE: it took a lengthy amount of time to get our bill as it was jammed. I'd say close to 10-15 minutes, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush.
