Caffe Demetre

Like some of the reviews here, its a pretty decent place to dine in. This café is a walk away from surrounding businesses and residential places (not too far from square one too). also, theres not a lot of line ups or crowd to be expected here so the noise level is between moderate or quiet. You get the odd loud ones here and there if your lucky.
The menu is pretty straight forward that offers a variety of desserts that suit your taste… as usual their waffles and crepes are good so anything from that menu is recommended. I don’t have a permanent favourite so I cant really say whats good because their all yummy to me. Alas, too bad I cant say the same for their milkshake though, I got the chocolate one and it tasted blah. like generic ice cream with plastic… ugh… just dont… trust me, try somewhere else.
On a positive note, service was great. Our server was super attentive and was always there for us if we needed anything.
Overall, I recommend going here if your around the area. If you don’t expect too much and just want the food itself (never mind the cold and stale décor) then this is the place to go. Its a nice hangout to talk while having dessert.

Complete chaos, long wait time, miss managing staff, they seemed to be trying but look inexperienced and lost. Understaffed! felt bad for them but no way I’m coming to this place again. no place is worth almost an hour-​long wait and another 30 minutes before being served. Deserts we tried were actually good. Otherwise would have given a zero.

Pretty decent dessert restaurant! Love their menu, and their menu item names are on point!
I ordered a banana split sundae with my date… Came with three different ice creams, and pieces of bananas. It was ACTUALLY really good, much better than I thought it was going to be! It was a bit small for 2 people, but enough for a light dessert.
Service was alright, nothing out of this world, but the food and atmosphere is memorable! Definitely will be coming back! Caffe Demetre has a slight edge over Spin Desserts in my opinion, just because they’ve dominated the dessert table for so long.
Parking is a bit tough to find, unless you’re willing to pay for it.

As long as you stay away from their ice-​cream (which is only good coupled with their cake), you’ll have a golden experience. The chocolate fudge cake is TO DIE FOR. I would recommend any of their chocolate-​oriented menu items.

I love this place. But at times the customer service is really bad like one time i orderd a crape and the woman brought me a waffle. I didn’t want to complain so when my fork accidentally dropped on the floor, I asked if I could get a new one and she never brought me one. When i asked for some water it took way to long. Other then that the desserts were amazing and plated beautifully.

Okay, I seriously love demetres and their ice cream. Normally I would understand if my order takes long or that I don’t get a full service because they are always super busy. However, the amount of times I have been to this location it has never been busy! The location is amazing since it’s so close to square one and you can just walk here. However, the first time I came here there was no one and there was only one person working. Yes, he was the waiter and he was preparing our ice cream (he was sleeping until we woke him up when we walked in. and they were out of so many ingredients) Then the second time, the girl that was working took ages to come get our order and was pretty rude and blamed me when she got my order wrong?! And took ages to get all of our orders. Then also took at least half an hour to get our bills. She was yet rude again when we were paying and gave little tips :| I seriously wish the service would be better so I can come here more often!!!

My girlfriends and I have just left upset with the service that we got at this location. After we ordered we still waited at least half an hour before the first item arrived. They made my order wrong and I let the waitress know– she apologized and brought back another wrong order a while later that was sent back to the kitchen. My girlfriend finally got her order and in the first bite she put a hair in her mouth. We decided to get up and leave right then, and I saw the waitress bringing back the same first order that was wrong to begin with. When we told her we decided to leave all we got was an «okay, sorry». I know sometimes service can be slow but at least you can make sure your waitresses are properly trained and you would look over your dishes to ensure proper health and safety maintenance. I don’t think I will ever go back to this location again– I wasted an hour of my life for nothing.

This is the worse demetre location I have ever been. First of all they said they have free underground parking but it was hard to find, so we had to pay for parking. Once we were there we waited 20 mins to get seated because they said they were busy, when we finally were seated they gave us 3 forks and knifes but there were 4 of us. We waited another 20 min to place our order and another 20 min to receive our dessert and the presentation of the desserts wasn’t even made pretty (the worst I seen). When we were done I had to go up to the waitress to get our bill because she was ignoring us when we try to ask her for the bill. We will never come back to this location ever again even. There are other demetres locations which can give us free parking and good service.

We needed a place for coffee that was open late, and ended up here. The place is too brightly lit with nothing pleasing to look at. It is not cozy at all, and is in serious need of a face-​lift. The coffee was okay, kind of weak and milky. We will not be back, like ever. The one by the AMC complex is better. There is a new dessert place called Spin that opened in the same area as this and the décor, staff, prices, coffee and dessert is a lot better.

Music was really loud! Like club loud. I never complain about this sort of thing but when you’re treating your parents to a dessert, and there’s DJ Sammy blaring and you can’t hear yourself… That’s loud.
I felt bad for the waitress because she was the only one on the floor, but It wasn’t busy. I’ve been to other coffee Demetres where it’s crazy busy and they still manage to serve you quicker and with smile. We waited about 20 minutes to be attended and another 45 mins for crepes to arrive.
The place looks run down and it just felt ghetto. It didn’t feel like it was recently established. It’s also kind of in an awkward location. It’s in an actual residential building. You have to pay for parking which is almost unheard of in Mississauga, but if you want «free parking» you have to buzz in. If you leave the restaurant to retrieve your car from the free parking, you’ll find yourself in an elevator with people who live in the building. AWKWARD.

I’ve been to AMC location before, moved closer to this one now. Service is a bit slow but the girl was friendly. I like their crepes more than the other stuff they offer. I do find them a bit prices and loaded with cream. Besdies that, an ok place for sweets.

My wife and I went to Café Demetre based upon a recommendation and we were completely underwhelmed. The server started off as indifferent that we were there, then downshifted to almost ignoring us. There were only three tables occupied in the place and the server was completely focused upon socializing with one of the tables. We ordered waffles. I could see the kitchen staff making them and taking them off the grill and setting them on to the shelf for the waitress to pick up… the waitress was zoned out doing busy work and socializing. Once she eventually brought our order to us the waffles were cold. They weren’t great. We may as well have stayed home and had Eggos! This place is poorly managed, overpriced and we won’t be back.

I have been coming to demetres for years and I have been waiting for a 5 star experience. The food is consistently good but they always lose stars for service (I usually go to the Courtney park location) but tonight was different.
Upon entering I was immediately greeted and seated by the hostess who brought us menus, napkins, utensils and waters before our bums hit the chairs. It was a pleasant surprise because if I’m not waiting to be seated I’m usually waiting for water or for our waiter or to come back to take our order.
Our waiters name was Erica and she was delightful. She was super knowledgeable about the new menu and answered all our questions. I was super impressed with the new menu and look forward to coming back to try some of the new additions and I appreciated the pop culture references in the menu titles.
We ordered the Bella swan, toute suite and cider in the house. The Bella swan and toute suite are new waffles options that are dairy free. They were so good and definitely filled my funnel cake void (due to ribfest being rained on). I decided to order the cider in the house because I have never had apple cider. They have a regular one and this one which has vanilla, cinnamon and whip cream. It’s is basically liquid apple pie! I recommend it for all my apple pie lovers. But be warned it is sweet and more then enough on its own.
Erica checked up on us throughout dessert to make sure we were ok and make small chat. She is the first waitress that has stood out at any demetre location I have visited. Thank you!

Oh goodness. Let me start off with the good. The same waffle I order at all the demetres restaurants was good. The inside is nicely put together. Now the bad. Parking… Omg. You have to park in a dingy smelly parking lot and go through endless corridors and doors to find your way out. That’s if you find the «free parking» to begin with. Going back in the parking garage the way you came is also not a possibility so get ready for an adventure. It’s worth just paying for parking on the street. Service? Omg, I hate to call out on people like this, but we had the same guy who’s worked at the poorly reviewed Oakville location. Sorry man, but serving people is not your calling… He looks like and sort of acts like Robb Wells (Ricky) from Trailer Park Boys… He is probably the reason I’d never go back to this location or the Oakville one.

I have been to at least 4 – 5 other Caffe demetre locations and this by far was the worst experience I’ve had at one of their places.
Service is terrible, I can’t figure out whether the problem is with the waiters/​waitresses or the people preparing the food but it should not take 30 – 40 minutes to order and receive two ice cream sundaes. I’ve been to busier locations and it usually takes no more than 10 minutes to get what you’ve ordered.
I will give them credit with décor. This has been the most creatively designed outfit that I’ve been to but that doesn’t make up for the below par service.
I would not recommend this location to anyone. It’s just not worth it.

This is an amazing location! It always empty and we have enough time and space to enjoy our desserts! The staff and service and very quick and amazing. Tongue depressor on a waffle is a must try! And also sub zero latte and stormy weather frappé.

This has to be my least favorite location for Demetre’s for a few reasons, given I have only visited once my experience was so horrible I will not be risking it for a second one.
First of all I will once again harp on the parking issue, now unless your visiting in the off hrs you are going to be paying for parking or walking a fair distance to your vehicle which I find annoying right off the bat. The location itself has to be the smallest of all the locations I have visited and the décor was far off from the usual decorative ambiance the chain usually boasts. Strange, circular booths with plastic surrounding them in what seems like an attempt to be colorful, playful and modern but resulting in cheap and almost cheesy. The use of space, colors, lighting, décor everything was not what I have come to enjoy from Demetre’s.
We were greeted by a server/​hostess that immediately put everyone off by stating she was sorry but the only tables she had left were situated at the «back» of the restaurant, which I myself wouldn’t have known was any different from the front had she not mentioned it.
My guests had to use the bathroom on arrival and were absolutely appalled by a foul stench emanating from the woman’s washroom so they literally used the men’s in desperation and some embarrassment as well
Now the service at the table did not get much better, the same server who told us she was seating us in the least desirable table possible took our orders in somewhat of a rush however she did make helpful suggestions that I did not heed at the time to my dismay but she did know the menu well. Strangely enough, even though it wasn’t a busy time, it still took a while to get our orders, one of which was actually under cooked… the crêpe was chewy and doughy tasting which was worsened by the fact that we had to wait so long for under cooked crepes
All in all this is not a location I will be returning to, I do not think it does the chain any justice as it does not live up to what their customers have come to expect

This Caffe Demetre is average. The price are alright and the food alright too. Went in with a few friends and the waitress was friendly but not at the same time. She seemed mad about something. Ordered a waffle dish which was huge. The waffles were good and i paid a fair amount for the amount I got. All in all, the expereince was good.

Our experience was so bad here, I thought that we might be on a Food Network reality show.
I don’t venture out west too often, but Caffe Demetre on Enfield seemed like an easy place to grab late night dessert after a visit to Square One.
Once you step inside, the vibe is different than other Caffe Demetre locations.
The décor is more basic here — like they decided to not spend any money on décor.
They have a few booths and simple tables and round tables with some seriously ugly plastic blue screens. Maybe we should have taken a round table with the screens to obstruct our view of the ruffian patrons.
We were seated after a few minutes at a booth for two people.
The seat was sticky… I’m hoping from chocolate sauce.
Our waitress was leaving for the evening and our server I think was the owner.
He was rude, loud, unfriendly, obviously lazy, and a creep.
He would be talking to us and then interrupting and abruptly yelling to his coworkers that he wanted to eat.
He stood around lazily chatting, so I assume that he was the owner, because if he was an employee he should have his butt booted.
I asked what cakes they had and it was met with an extreme eyeroll.
The server/​owner half gestured as he half-​heartedly described them.
Apparently, this dessert café doesn’t like it when you ask about the desserts.
A second eye roll occurred when my friend wanted a spoon to stir her hot drink.
The eyeroll was also accompanied with a rude «What, really???»
— Yes, jerkface, really.
He asked us if we were going to order anything… repeatedly… every two minutes.
Even though we ordered hot beverages and said that we would order dessert after our tea.
We were treated like teenagers with only loose change in our pockets.
So weird, since we were probably the oldest customers in the place and my friend was pregnant. Did you think she wasn’t going to eat something?
He approached my friend and told her that she was taking too long looking at the menu and maybe she should just stop.
WTF.
Anyways, we still ordered a crêpe to share.
I liked the ice cream, pretty standard Demetre crepes.
When if was time to pay, he just stood over us.
I told him to leave us alone.
I thought the service and overall everything about this café was disgusting.
I will never return.
If there is a freak waffle iron accident and this location explodes, it will be doing the Mississauga area a favour.
