Back in my Toronto days, me and my BFF Neil / or me and Vince / or me, Neil and Vince / or me, Neil, Vince and other friends / shared a lot of bonding moments over desserts at Caffe Demetre. Lucky me and Neil, there is one close by where we lived. We would walk our way to the sweet shop and sit there for hours, and just have quality time exchanging each other's point of view and sharing loads of laughter, and at least for that moment, allow our stress to be swept away by Demetre's oh-so-fine home-made ice creams and other desserts.
Tongue Depressor waffle (if my memory serves me right) |
One thing that makes Demetre fun and cool is its trademark names for signature dessert creations. Demetre's full menu used to be available online, however, in order to protect its contents from internet piracy, they have limited the details they show in their website. Desserts to choose from include ice cream crepes, freshly baked Belgian waffles, awesome banana splits, fancy sundaes, cake a la modes, pies and cakes. They also serve wicked cappuccinos, lattes, cocoa, organic teas, iced coffees, ice cream shakes, and granitas.
From Here to Maternity - the name of the dessert and my future condition ;) |
My favorite is Moo La La on crepe. It's got bananas, chocolate ice cream, almonds, whip cream, Nutella hazelnut chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar sprinkled on top. I also tried a sundae cone version of it called From Here to Maternity. Vince usually gets a waffle, and Neil - he vents out his stress over a yummy slice of cake and a cup of black coffee.
Demetre's is the perfect stop after dinner with friends on a local restaurant, or an evening with somebody special after a great movie on the big screen. This place is a sure ball stress buster, however, if I may suggest, there should be a huge flashing warning sign outside each store that says: "Not for hyperglycemics or eat at your own risk." Hehe!
