Reviews describe Café Parka as a charming, bright, modern neighborhood cafe with plants, a cozy vibe and limited seating that can feel busy with lines, while the location and design are repeatedly praised. The drinks are a highlight, with matcha and lattes frequently named among the best in town, strong cold brew, and pastries and cookies described as tasty, though a few entries mention bitterness or inconsistency and higher prices, and some note that the space is small and the crowds can push up prices. Service is friendly when staffed but can be slow or overwhelmed during peak times with only one barista, prompting calls for more staffing on weekends; overall Café Parka comes across as a stylish, high quality cafe suitable for takeout or a quick visit, with the caveats of limited seating and occasional crowding.
Stopped by on a whim & had a great time. I tried their latte & espresso. Both were quite good (beans from Escape if you're wondering). I also had a great conversation with the barista Melodie, mostly about coffee. She was so lovely & patient enough with my broken French. I'd love to come again, in the summer.
Most expensive decaf Latte in MONTREAL. Paid $8.64 for a latte that was quite frankly average & was half full with foam. Server did it all without a small. Was charged extra 60 cents for decaf & an Extra $1 because I asked for a large size. Which just meant more foam (not milk) in my cup. It was supposed to be a latte not a cappuccino. We desperately need competition in TMR. It unfortunate because if their prices we significantly more reasonable i'd be there every day...instead I usually walk bye & grab a coffee once i get downtown (via the rem) The location is very small but quaint . When it first opened I was thrilled - now I the ocassion experience just leaves me feel cheated. LAST TIME.
if i could put a zero star i would becuz the service was just not it the matcha was good but i have a very bad experience shes not nice at all esp she didnt ask us politely to not taking any pictures she just said not too much pictures & she looks at us up & down i regret i shouldnt have give her a tip👎 also we pay for the matcha not ur attitude!! it was between 14h to 15h thursday also we dont want any problem but we hope for a better experience & also we just saw an influencer taking a photo there thats why we went but left disappointed i hope she would treat clients a little better as we're all spending money there! 😊 thank you!
J'ai conduit 20mn pour une certaine attitude du caissière, jeudi vers 14h20 à 15h. elle était super impolie avec ma soeur, elle nous a dit de ne pas prendre trop de photos, mais elle a été super impolie à ce sujet avec ma soeur. on a même donné des pourboires. the matcha was good but not the service on a reçu.
Was out for a walk with my wife & decided to stop for a coffee. Service was dry & without any smile or engagement. Ordered 2 Americanos & these were by far the worst coffees we had ever had & for those steep prices, I would expect better. Had to have mine remade & it was marginally better. Coffee was also super bitter & not the taste profile I like. Location is quaint & has character. Sadly, service & coffee were not up to par.
Première & dernière fois.
Le café est bon, mais il était servi dans un verre de CARTON même si j'ai consommé sur place.
J'ai commandé un expresso & un biscuit à 11$ (OK).
J'ai par la suite demandé un verre d'eau, on m'a dit que ce n'est pas possible & qu'il fallait que j'achète une bouteille d'eau en PLASTIQUE 🌍à 3$.
