I really enjoyed my visit to Parallel Café. The salmon toast & Croque madame were absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The pricing was excellent, especially considering the high quality of the food. The café itself was spotless & had a modern, inviting ambiance that made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food in a clean & stylish setting!

Many sitting places to take a coffee & pastries. They have so many different options & interesting flavours. I got pudding chômeur & it was GOOD. I find a price is ok for the size of donut, good customer service & relaxing ambiance.

A vibrant & quite energetic looking cafe, i went looking for some donuts & found some really great looking ones here. The staff was okay, straight to the point, i got my donut & left, eager to eat it once i got home just a mere walk away. I realised though, that the donut's icing was quite.. moist? For lack of better word, & the fact that its put into a paper bag foretold a disaster! & as was foretold, the donut did not intend to provide me with a satisfying experience, as pictured. I tasted the icing though, & it was sweet! It would have been really good if it wasn't... like this. I tried a bit of the donut as well & it was already quite stale. Perhaps this was never meant to be a good experience to begin with :( a true shame. I would have loved to try their other flavours at the time but it was already empty at around 3pm. Would have given another chance if i were still in montreal

Top coffee & donuts, staff is real friendly, probably one of the best places downtown. I really like the Venezuelan coffee, it's a bit sweet but a must in my opinion. The food is pricey I find but it never disappoints. The donuts & croissants are standouts. The atmosphere is great, lots of room to sit & it's very clean. Definitely a must for downtown coffee drinkers, there's a lot of good options & this one of the best.

Le café latté m'a été servi presque froid. Longue attente pour un café (15min) Lorsqu'on rentre on ne voit pas tout les gens qui attendent en arrière.

The coffee shop always is crowded in every part. But it is the franchise coffee from Vancouver, every cup is delicious!
