Caffe Demetre

Continues to have a great selection of dessert options. Good portion sizes for most but the price of waffles and crepes has become a bit ridiculous.
Service typically fast and most servers polite.
My fav is the blush crêpe but I replace the white chocolate with dark chocolate. I had a Chai Fall last time which was way too sweet. The cookie ice cream sandwich is a manageable dessert option for one person, and less pricey. I always have to share a crêpe.
Would appreciate more variety in ice cream flavours — they used to have peanut butter!

Awesome service. Awesome food. The manager was very accommodating. Waited for food for a good amount of time. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

We went to Demetries for a Sunday evening treat and although the food was delicious the service was not on par — Our waiter was struggling a bit. It took an extremely long time to even bring us water, then placing our orders was another wait. Some of our food came but he forgot a few items we had ordered so we had to wait to receive them. Plus he never came to top up our waters. It definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if I would plan to go back, no cheesecake from there is worth the wait and the lack of water lol

Really good deserts price is fair for the large portion you receive, the drink prices are ridiculous for coffee, tea, etc. Every desert is delicious my personal favourite is brownie points. I was with a group of 5 including my self, we first got seated near a large group not much space for us. The manager or owner not sure who did ask us if we wanted to be relocated which was perfect. The wait staff did not seem like they cared which kinda sucks, décor on the walls needs to change, the new menu look is really nice much more organized and modern.

A group of four us on a double date decided to go somewhere different and this place came up in discussion. When we got there, it took the wait staff about 20 min to take our order and before acknowledging us, they asked us to move tables because the table that the four of us were at was to small. Although we were thankful for the gesture, the wait staff placed another group of four at the table we were at.
After our order was taken, it took just under 30 min for our food to arrive compared to other tables who were seated after us, were given their food (sometimes the same dishes as us) sooner and more efficiently.
Two of us ordered a tongue depressor, one on a waffle and another on a crâpe. The other two ordered slices of cake.
Although we all agreed that our dishes were good and live large sizes, we also agreed that there was nothing special about the cakes or tongue depressors.
My tongue depressor on a crêpe was intended to have melted ice cream in it. However my date, who ordered a tongue depressor on a waffle, also had melted ice cream and from previous research, we found out that should not have been the case. Our guests, who both ordered the same type of cheesecake, found it tasteful but overpriced and lacking uniqueness compared to the cost.
As enjoying our tasteful but late meal, the artists in our group, noted that most of the modern art hanging inside the café, was either crooked or upside down. Now, if you’re going to ask what way modern Art should face when it’s a whole bunch of squares and circles and spots of paint on a piece of canvas, I would typically not be able to answer such a question. But when the signature of the artist is on canvas and is upside down, it just leads to the conclusion that the painting is upside down. This was the case with a few of the art pieces in the café. Coincidently, three of the four of us, are artists and one of witch studies art history, contemporary art, and artistic marketing. Therefore the lack of respect towards the artist and the paintings did annoy us.
After completing our meal, it took a waitress 20 minutes to come and collect our plates. After which, it took the same waitress another 20 minutes to give our bill. When paying for the bill, we all agreed that no tip was deserving as we were there for one hour and forty min just to have desert.
In all my experiences, I have left a tip. For my first time not leaving a tip and I don’t feel bad. I do however regret not saying something to the manager.

Absolutely love their crepes. They are huge!
If you love chocolate, The Tongue Depressor is the one for you. It’s amazing. Between the chocolate ice cream and the chocolate brownie, you will definitely get chocolate wasted.
The Last Straw is a little lighter with Madagascar vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries and strawberry coulis. It is phenomenal.
There are tons with peanut butter, banana and Nutella. I love that there’s even an apple crisp and a baklava crêpe!
They make ice cream sandwiches! Yum! Wish they had more options than just white chocolate macadamia but cookies to choose from.
Their hot chocolate is out of this world topped with whipped cream. Definitely a real treat.
I’ve always had great service at this location and have gotten my order in a timely manner. There is always tons of parking since most of the other stores in the plaza are closed in the evening.
I will continue to go back to this location again and again. Perfect date night spot with the movie theatre in the same plaza.

If there were an option for 6 stars I would give it that. Service here is great!!! Staff is always smiling and you aren’t waiting long.
The crepes are to absolutely die for !! The last time I went I decided to get one crêpe and one waffle to split. Now I can’t decide which I like better. Both so yummy !!
The location is fabulous !! As it is so close to the highway and movie theatres :)!

Very nice, everything is good
The price must be better
And demetre?
He is never be here
Where is demetre?

This place is very accessible, right off of the highway — in Burlington, about 10 km — ish from DT Oakville. Best part? Tons of parking at night, and it’s open late. It’s got a nice patio too. This one’s bigger than any of the Demetre cafes I’ve been to, and I have no complaints with the interior. Quite like the high ceilings, tasteful paintings on the wall and the colorful seating.
I am not the one to complain about the prices as Demetre, primarily because I order to share and tip, others should too. Their portions are massive and I can’t see that being healthy for anyone.

PATHETIC. A number of times I’ve gone here and without fail you can bet that whenever and whoever takes your order is merely but a simpleton who’s paid to ask you what you want. Forget about any kind of service, expecting your food in a timely manner, busy or not and best yet you’re paying top dollar. Absolute crap, tonight was special because I brought a couple of friends to at least try the ice cream but warned them about the service and lack there of, but this was ridiculous… It is custom to receive water, without asking as you’re being served, but when you ask for it specifically and don’t receive it or your meal almost half an hour later… Not to mention you see your food (or at least someone else’s since you’ve showed up, dieing in the window, because its frozen water it tends to melt at room temperature fairly quickly and sitting on the window waiting to get served for at least 20 minutes is not something i want to eat. Not to mention the waiters all looked at it countless times and did dick all about it. Too concerned laying the tables with forks, knives, and napkins.)Something’s wrong. After getting up and leaving our waitress (who I’ve had before and wasn’t pleasant) had noticed we were about to leave she literally stopped seating more people down and pretended to care and go after our dishes, screw it we left. Then the manager came out after us, whos a weirdo by the way. Always constantly standing around the restaurant STARRING at you. Had asked if we «were done». Said that we could have your meal ready as soon as possible, well no shit Sherlock it’s only being sitting their ready for 20 minutes. PISS OFF! I’ve got better choice words for this place and the people that work there…

this place has gone a little downhill
through out the years. the décor hasn’t changed at all and the menu is even older. i even question whether the waffles are made fresh anymore because they taste identical to the boxed variety you can order from sysco.
with that being said they still
do some pretty good dessert. i always get the unforbidden fruit and it’s always great! service needs to pick up and get back to being a little bit more friendlier

A bit overpriced for what you get, but a very creative environment and café. Definitely seems like a tourist place that everyone should try at least once because it is very unique– and not too bad flavor wise.

sinful… cheat day to the EXTREME!!!
Always a fun time but I always leave feeling guilty lol
