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.
This restaurant exceeded every expectation. From the start, the warm atmosphere made us feel welcome. The menu had great variety, all made with fresh ingredients. Every course was prepared to absolute perfection. The staff were attentive & helpful. An unforgettable dining experience!
Tellement decu 🙁 c'était mon bar à matcha préféré. Depuis le changement d'employé le matcha n'est plus aussi bon. Plus de lait que de matcha. 10$ pour un verre de lait? On le voit simplement par la couleur…
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.
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.
