3 1/2 stars.
Coming here reminds of my high school days when this was THE spot to go to for dessert, especially after a movie or date night. Ten years later, I found myself here again. Once again, for dessert. Once again, with high school friends. Oh, sweet nostalgia.
After spending a good amount of time trying to decide between a crepe/waffle (classic) vs. sundae (new classic) vs. cheesecake (CHEESECAKE), I decided on the Face Pomme - a slice of cheesecake with warmed apple crumble topping. Two of my favourite desserts on one plate! Each component individually was decent, with some positives but also some negatives. The cheesecake was rich and smooth, but the crust was a bit heavy and floury... and I just prefer a graham crust anyway. The apple crumble was nicely spiced and not overly sweet, but limited in apple content. My one other complaint would be the whipped cream... unsweetened, why?! All things considered, it was a pretty good, but not great, dessert.
Overall, it was a fun night and it brought back a lot of good memories. Caffe Demetre will remain, for me, a tried and true option for a sweet ending to a low-key night out.
