At Demetres’ North York dessert restaurant, you’ll find a bounty of various confections, cold treats and hot eats – each designed to make your jaw drop. Our dessert menu changes seasonally, but here are a few reliable dessert types that always grace the menu.

Ice Cream
Our famous ice cream is the centrepiece of various desserts in North York: nestled atop waffles, cozied up to crepes, stacked on a sundae or whipped into a milkshake. Since 1989, we’ve taken a unique approach to ice cream making, marrying old-fashioned perfectionism with cutting-edge innovation. The result? Everyone’s favourite place for ice cream in Toronto, 30 years and running.

Waffles
How do you like your waffles? Are you the light and airy type who gravitates toward a fluffy Belgian waffle? Or do you prefer the robust, caramelized and decadent punch of a Liege waffle? No wrong answers! You’ll find numerous spins on these classic waffle types at Demetres on Dufferin. They’re a key reason why we’re, hands down, one of the best dessert places in North York.

Cakes
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday or an average Monday, our cakes deliver the “wow” factor you deserve. Richly layered chocolate cakes, impossibly smooth cheesecakes, comforting red velvet cakes and a tantalizing assortment of seasonal offerings – come celebrate with the best dessert in North York.

Crepes
Delicate enough for a weekend brunch. Decadent enough for a date night dessert. Somehow, our crepes tow a fine line between sophistication and comfort. Impeccably made in the traditional Parisian style, these crepes sit alongside Demetres ice cream, chocolate sauces, fresh fruits, nuts and other goodies. Come try one at the crème de la crème (crepe de la crepe?) of North York dessert places.

Parfaits & Sundaes
Great parfaits and sundaes should be like a treasure hunt, constantly revealing new goodies as you venture deeper and deeper. Just when you think you couldn’t be more delighted – bam – our parfaits and sundaes unveil new treats: chocolate pudding, milk cake, fudge brownies, waferettes, whipped cream, French dark chocolate sauce and much more.

Ice Cream Sandwiches
Some of the best dessert in North York – no spoon required. Try our innovative spin on the ice cream sandwich, featuring two slices of toasted croissant bun and the best darn ice cream this side of the 404.

Milkshakes
Our milkshakes hearken back to simpler times, when dessert places in North York churned out honest-to-goodness comfort with a sit-down experience. Split one with a significant other (like they do in the movies), or have the whole thing to yourself.

Iced Coffees
Who knew that one of the best dessert places in North York is also one of the best coffee spots? But it makes sense. We start our iced coffees with small-batch, locally roasted Toronto coffee, adding rich ingredients like caramel, Nutella and house whipped cream.

Hot Drinks
