Le Parva is described as having two cafe spots, one inside the library area near the books and another in the hall. The library location is praised for reasonable prices on drinks, including a latte made with Nutrinor milk, a Quebec product, but a November visit is noted for a long wait and a server who was not very friendly, while the hall location is seen as more interesting with generally good prices and solid portions. The cafe has long offered pastries made with local ingredients and options that were advertised as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, but a pastry chef change a few months ago led to the disappearance of popular cakes, leaving bakery items that are not vegan or gluten free. Sandwiches can take longer if warmed, but a top barista who knows regular orders adds to the appeal and encourages repeat visits.View restaurant profile
