Reviews portray Café Parka as a small, cozy, and charming spot with a modern vibe where the coffee, matcha, and pastries are often praised and the atmosphere is described as welcoming and homelike; the location and design receive positive notes, with a bright, plant filled space and pleasant ambiance; however several comments point to limited seating, crowds during peak times, and inconsistent experiences with service speed and coffee quality, including some bitter espressos and slow, pricey service; overall the place is loved for its vibe and drinks and is often recommended for a casual visit or grab and go, with many indicating a desire to return.
Very nice minimalist café with a calm & cozy atmosphere. The coffee was excellent & the matcha was really good as well. Everything felt high quality & thoughtfully made. Will definitely be back.
TMR has been needing this for awhile! My only wish would be bigger for the winter time :) Great decor, good coffee & nice service.
Update with a suggestion: I ordered a mocha & it had a very sugary syrupy taste (it was already closed so I couldn't go back to get it remade); may I suggest using a real cacao powder mix of some kind? I think for a cafe with this price point it is worth it.

I really like the look of this place, the interior is beautiful & the use of green is right up my alley. The service was good as well. The cookies were also nice, had the red velvet one & it was soft & full of chocolate. The only real let down is the coffee, I had a latte & the coffee had a weird aftertaste & wasn't really enjoyable. That's why I'm giving it a lower review because the coffee is really the cornerstone of any coffee shop, despite the good service, cookies & the beautiful design.
Update! Got a latte here again & so much better, delicious & well made. Seems like they changed it up :)
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.
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.
I go to this cafe at least one day a week. I think the quality of coffees are vey good & the staff are nice & politie but the items are for sure overpriced.
My main critic is that the place is small & hot & most of the time is crowded, you see people in line. One barista in rush hours does not make sense. The owner should put two people at least in weekends or rush hours!
Love the coffee there. & it became so popular that there's always a line-up & unfortunately service is super slow due to only 1 employee working. I suggest staffing up to keep up with the demand :)
Also, it's too bad that the food is no good.
