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.

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.
Excellent café, je prends toujours un café latte avec lait d'avoine. Ça sent très bon & c'est surtout délicieux. Le service est accueillant & chaleureux.
Merci 🙏❤?
I stopped by Café Parka recently & instantly fell in love with the vibe. It's such a charming spot-bright, modern, & full of character. Whether you're looking to relax, get some work done, or catch up with a friend, this café has the perfect atmosphere for it.
I ordered an iced latte & a cookie, & both were spot on. The iced latte was smooth, not too bitter, & had just the right amount of espresso kick-perfectly refreshing on a warm day. The cookie was soft, rich, & had that homemade taste that's hard to find in most cafés.
The space itself is beautifully designed with lots of plants & natural light. It feels calm & welcoming, with just the right background music & super friendly staff.

Délicieux café, excellent service. Le latte glacé est particulièrement réussi, & la barista est très efficace pour gérer tous ces clients seule & avec le sourire!
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.
Si, comme nous, vous êtes tombé dessus en passant devant, vous serez d'accord que c'est un charme ce café. 🥰 Pour une 1ère expérience, c'était agréable, mais pas choquant...Dommage. Le service était super rapide, mais le garçon à la caisse était un peu froid. Je ne pense pas que ce soit quelque chose de personnel, c'était juste un peu trop "professionnel"?. La pâtisserie aux amandes & pistaches était incroyable, c'est sûr que j'y retournerai pour tester les autres. Le latte était basique, par contre le matcha était super bon, étonnant, surtout que je pensais avoir vu & revu ce qu'il y avait à faire avec le matcha. - Il n'y a pas beaucoup de stationnement à proximité. 6.5/10
Un café de coin nouvellement ouvert, déco très sympa. Ils offrent un menu riche du café! Ils ont des pâtisseries aussi & des boissons. Par contre on trouve des produits québécois d'huiles végétales pour le corps... La fille était très gentille & très accueillante. ATTENTION 🛑 Le paiement que par les cartes bancaires!

Quel bel ajout à VMR! Une petite perle. Le latte est délicieux. Le biscuit qui y est vendu est probablement le meilleur que j'aie mangé. En plus on y vend des petits produits très beaux (chandelles, soins, tasses). C'est un peu petit comme espace, on espère juste que ça puisse s'agrandir au fil du temps!
