Great coffee & matcha, but the staffing situation really needs to be addressed. The café consistently seems to have only one person working, handling both the register & making all the drinks. This is especially frustrating on a busy Saturday morning, when the wait for a single coffee can easily exceed 15 minutes.

The quality is great, but the experience suffers because of the unreasonable wait times. They would really benefit from hiring an additional staff member during busy hours. it's becoming unbearable to wait that long for a coffee.

Everytime I'm in the area I stop for matcha or coffee.
Many times the cashier will be inside & I have to wait for several minutes to be noticed.
Then we take the order, & the service is usually cold & rushed.
The drinks are a bit overpriced for the what you get. I tried there Pina colada matcha & the syrups were overpowering the matcha taste that tastes very watery. I wasn't a big fan with their coffee too.
It's a cute neighborhood cafe that gives Cali vibes but I wish they could improve the drinks & the service.

Café Parka is a little gem in the heart of TMR worth stopping into for a wide variety of drinks & the bonus of sandwiches & pasteries available! Yum! 🤩
Keep in mind, the shop is tiny, but they do have a small seating area indoors (3-4 stools) & a small seating area outside if you plan on lingering.

Chill modern café with tasty food & drink. Very limited seating area by the window but the view is nice & the nearby heater makes it cozy.

We came here on Labor Day &, despite the lineup, our drinks were actually good. We expected some inconsistency given how busy it was & the fact that there were only two staff members. Nevertheless, it was great, & the staff were attentive & friendly.

We ordered the Matcha Parka & the Cold Brew. The Matcha Parka was a matcha latte with blackberry syrup. It was a sweet drink, but the blackberry syrup did not overpower the matcha, & you could still taste its deep notes. We were pleasantly surprised that the combination worked well & that the ratio of ingredients was balanced. The Cold Brew was also good.

Seating is limited (a counter by the window & two tables outside), so it is more suitable for takeout. There was a park nearby, so we went there to enjoy our drinks. The matcha drinks were on the pricier side, but overall, our experience was great.

I wanted to try this place, but I was a bit disappointed. The service was slow, even though it wasn't busy. I ordered a frozen cappuccino, which was just okay. Maybe I'll try a different drink next time.
