D-Spot Dessert Cafe & Bistro

First time going here and wanted to try a new dessert place! Our server was nice however this place’s fryer was not working that day (Sunday evening) and didn’t find out until we ordered a fried appetizer. Mind you half the menu is fried. Wasn’t too impressed with this place. Noticed the table next to us barely even touched their desserts and left. I guess they didn’t like it either. The reason for the 2 stars is 1. Server was nice 2. The waffle was nice and dense. I wouldn’t recommend this place. I’d rather spend my money at Café mirage or demetres!

Server assigned to us was really nice. she gave us enough time to decide and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We love her accent and her way of talking! ;)
We got excited with the menu. They served it pretty fast. We ordered the 1.)white chocolate lava cake-​this one we really like. 2.) Banana Nutella crepes– nothing special with this. Just your straight up banana and Nutella (diluted in water to make it a little runny syrup) 3.) Nachos– chips itself taste good. it could have been better if cheese were still melting when served. We feel that it was prepared way before that it cheese hardened and that makes it weird.
We went there for our usual Wednesday girls night and we were glad it wasn’t crowded. It has modern industrial ambiance. Locations was a little hidden though. I won’t find it if no told me there is a café in that area.

Slice of ice cream anyone? so this is comparable somewhat to Demetres. You’re looking at similar dessert selections and drinks (cold/​hot). What Demetres tops over this place is presentation. You’re mostly liking at crepes, waffles, Apple pie and a few slices of a variety of cakes. Nothing to write home about.
I literally got slices of ice cream– not scoops. I think they got the chapmans ice cream from the cardboard box and went at it with a knife. Hmm… a little weird but dessert is dessert.
I wouldn’t trek out here, but if this is the closest late night dessert spot to you, then do check it out.

Went to check out the place and to be honest I was satisfied with the portions and pricing. The food quality, presentation of desserts and iced-​drinks were pretty good. Only mattering concern is the customer service. Although, we had some ice cream and couple of iced drinks and we were served without any napkins. We had to ask for napkins when almost we were done with the food. The server’s attire was not clean enough. I understand they work hard but a decent café server should also try to dress up nicely. Nevertheless, no complaint about the food but lack of efficiency in customer service can hamper their popularity and ratings big time.

This is a place that can be a hit or a miss. Their sundaes and milkshakes are really good! Fair warning, some of the dessert are massive so you might want to ask the server how big a dessert is before ordering!

After all the buildup and excitement about checking out D-​Spot, I was really disappointed in almost every way possible. The service was unprofessional and untrained, with the exception of the bubbly chunky guy who seemed to be just a food runner /​bus boy and a super thin girl washing tables. Which I had taken their names… they worked hard the entire time we were there.
Our waiter took our order and we never saw him again — oh wait yes, he was leaning over the cash register on his phone. There was a waitress who popped in a couple times to drop off water, but never brought utensils or napkins until asked.
The items on the menu are over priced.$ 10 for a small sliver of cheesecake? Really!
The pancakes with fruit…3 huge pancakes, tiny bit of fruit. with even smaller amount of drizzle. They were good pancakes but very dry! (ordered the strawberry, and the chocolate)
The cappuccino was good, but served in a regular sized coffee cup? 5 sips of cappuccino with ½ cup of froth!
The acoustics are terrible — the blender ran constantly mixed with a 16 — 24yr old crowd both were very noisy and created a loud echo so you couldn’t be heard unless you shouted.
Suggest putting up glass barrier between seating and food prep area to help drown out blender which needs to move to the other side.
Spot lights r pointed downward directly in your eyes making it hard to see the people at your table.
Or change the name to D-​Spotlight?
Décor is trendy-​ish and liked that they seat you.
Menu very over-​priced so not a place I’ll be bring my co-​workers to for Friday lunch. :-(
I hope the owner addresses some of the issues as it can be a great little dessert place after a movie which is right next door.
This didn’t hit my D, E, or F Spot!

Great waffles. Satisfied my late evening sweet tooth!

Went to this place last Sunday January the 24^th. And was so turned off bc there were two black girls working behind the counter and one of them was eating ice cream out of the tub with a spoon. I looked at the girl in plain site bc I could see here from where we were sitting. So ghetto!
That was enough for me to never come back here again.
Waffle was decent, the chocolate ice cream was very good bc it had brownie chunks in it. Other than that save your money and go to Demetries if you’re craving waffles and ice cream. At this place you never know if the girl making the waffles and the ice cream was using the same spoon that went in her mouth. Gross!

Been here a handful of times since they’ve opened. It was busy 4 of the 5 times we went (Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening visits). If you have a group, make reservations because otherwise you’ll be packed into a corner sharing a table with 2 or 3 people.
Waffles and crepes were really good. I had a waffle topped with fruit and a scoop of their vanilla ice cream (which I heard was made in house, not commercial brand). Very good! My friend has the crêpe with chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce — also very good!
Another occasion we had the hot chocolate with a slice of chocolate cake. Hot chocolate was really good. The cake slice was huge. I feel that they could reduce the price (which was pricy as is!) and serve a smaller portion. This is definitely a «share» sized piece of cake — but you’re stuck with just one variety if you’re with a date. Table beside us had a group of 3 who ordered 3 slices and left about half of their cake behind.
They sometimes have entertainment — Bollywood dancers, band, themed parties, which is a nice change from the normal dessert places.

Walked in expecting a not-​so-​good experience based on the Unilocal ratings, but I was actually quite surprised.
We went on Christmas eve and this was one of the few places that were open. Despite the fact that they were completely packed, we were seated within 5 minutes. Our server looked after us properly, yes he almost brought the wrong order to us once, but I can’t blame him because there were just too many people.
This has a very demtre’s vibe to it, with a south-​asian touch. We had butter chicken crêpe, it wasn’t as good as I was expecting, but it wasn’t bad either. Waffle and ice-​cream was ok, the cheesecake was pretty delicious, on of the very best i have had, i can’t recall the flavour exactly (i believe it was chocolate)
In short, I have been here once on a very busy day, and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.

Had the cheesecake here, wasn’t all that.
Also had the cappuccino which was lukewarm and not all that great.
The menu is promising so will try other items but overall, not sold on the two items I had.
Also service was very slow unfortunately.

I haven’t visited this place yet, only saw it today. I feel though that the name is terrible. I barely saw «Dessert Café & Bistro» underneath «D-​Spot».

Service was awful… Might as well put a sign that said self-​serve. Perhaps they were understaffed but we had to ask a waitress for a seat. Didn’t even get a menu (again had to ask). We had no confidence in our order coming out so had to periodically ask waitress if it was even placed!
Nice attempt to be an alternative to Demetre’s, but pictures of deserts on menu were not appealing (not that the actual cakes were better.)
Ordered the d spot signature dish: two waffles with chocolate syrup in between stacked with brownies and ice cream. $ 20! You’re paying for the quantity vs quality.
Would not recommend to anyone…

I came here with a couple friends months ago, back when this place was called spin café and really didn’t like the food. It was too sugary and dry. However, I came here again recently as I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised by the difference in taste.
I ordered an oreo waffle which costed about $ 12 and wasn’t able to finish it because it was too large. It was very tasty and filling, however I don’t think it was worth the price. The thing about this café is that they don’t necessarily make anything… the just buy a bunch of premade foods (like oreos, two bite brownies, whipped cream, etc) and then put it together. I totally could’ve made this at home for half the price.
On top of that, I was a little disappointed that I had to leave my leftovers in the café instead of taking them home for later. The problem is that the ice cream would’ve melted and ruined the waffle so I was forced to waste food. Perhaps in the future I’ll ask them to give me the ice cream separately?
Also as a side note, I saw some other reviewers mention that this place was reusing old menus but covering up the logo… but when I came here I was given brand new menus with new item names so don’t worry about that.

Came here with a couple of friends around 7 – 8 ish pm wanting to satisfy our sweet tooth and to finish off the day out with them with a sugar high and full bellies.
The place had a cool and edgy interior, with circular themes all around. We came in and I was quite surprised that there weren’t a lot of people — maybe 2 tables of couples when we came in? It was kinda quiet too. Maybe the busy hours aren’t until later when movie go-​ers finish watching stuff from the movie theater near by.
We came in and I didn’t really get a good vibe from the staff. We were seated at the round booth which I thought was really comfy and roomy. She definitely wasn’t as enthusiastic and cheery as I expected from dessert places. She did kept checking in on us which was nice, but we didn’t stay too long.
Friends and I ordered their NY-​Style Cheesecake with strawberries and strawberry sauce, and they also ordered the chocolate lava cake and another cheesecake for take-​out (Will talk about those take-​out items later). The cheesecake was dense just the way I liked it, and the tartness of the strawberries balanced the sweetness of the sauce and the cake. We ordered this one because it caught our attention on their menu photo, which had a lot more strawberries than the one presented to us. I wish the slice was a bit bigger considering we paid $ 9+ for one slice. Overall kinda underwhelming in consideration of previous cheesecakes I’ve had, the menu photo, and the price. ⁴⁄₁₀.
We also ordered their nachos, which came with cheese, jalapeño peppers, bell peppers, onions; the usual things on nachos. Came also with 2 mini sour cream, and 2 salsa sauce bowls. We decided to add bacon to our nachos, which is additional cost. The course itself was okay; I’ve had cheesier, hotter, and tastier nachos, but I liked how it was a 3-​flavoured/​coloured nacho chips that they used. Definitely added to the colour visuals of the plate. By the end of our stay there my mouth was burning like crazy from the jalapenos and there was no re-​filled water glasses to be found.
The take-​out items were okay… but I don’t think we’ll be doing take-​out here anymore because of the high price for just the slices/​lava cake. No plating/​décor/​whipped cream/​ice cream/​sauces with the take-​out.
This place is most suited for dining in and eating their desserts. Maybe I’ll come back for those and their specialty drinks.

We will not come back to this place. Food are expensive, my latté doesn’t look like latté. My latte is not presentable, it looks crap. I have experience in barista and i knw how café latté should look like.

It’s been awhile since I visited a Spin, and I was quite looking forward to going there after our movie last night. Unfortunately, we’ve found out that this is no longer a Spin and is now called D Spot. We still decided to check it out.
Pretty glad we did. It’s basically Spin, down to the same menus, but under a new name. It’s a bit bootleg, they’ve covered «Spin» on the menu with a Velcro sign saying D Spot… Aside from that the food is still good.
Tried the butter chicken pizza, which could have been really bad but was actually pretty good. Tried the Turtle cheesecake and the Hazelnut cheesecake (with legit chocolate ice cream) and the hazelnut ice cream. Desserts are definitely as decadent as I recall from previous visits to other Spin locations.
Not really sure what happened, to cause the name change, but for Spin lovers, D Spot is still a viable option!

We came here after watching a movie and we’re craving dessert/​hungry. But knowing that this is no longer spin dessert made me sad. It is definitely quiet and a lot of emptiness then it was before. However there were people coming in. If you came here when it was spin you have to try your best and have an open mind. Yes they are reusing the old menu covers and covered the old embossed logo with a Velcro patch (was not very impressed with that). They have kept some of the original items and have reprinted it in a different layout/​colour scheme. I’m not really sure how comparable all of the new food is to the old place is. My friends ordered pizza (which did look quite on par with the old offerings), turtle cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake (?) which was a good serving with plenty of ice cream. The prices seem to be similar, and the taste of everything is really good. Good quiet place to grab dessert and share, very generous with the servings. Try not to compare with old company even though it will be hard not to. The service is good and our waitress made sure to keep our cups full. Probably would come back due to the offerings being tasty and generous.
