Kinda surprised this place is so well rated! The atmosphere is great, but the sandwiches are really underwhelming. The day I was there, all the coffees were insanely sweet (overheard others mention it as well, so it wasn't a one off). Anyways, wanted to like this spot but feels like i wasted $25.View more
Just had the greatest lunch ever! Every bite was absolute perfection-flavors on point, textures just right, & the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. & it was a winner for my picky son. Service was exceptional!View more
I think it's a genuine & decent gesture that they offer free meals for their members. I had this delicious panini today. I totally recommend this place.View more
Steak sandwich 👍
Good macchiato
Definitely worth a tryView more
Sandwich are really good but I noticed since a few months that they put a less chicken in the parma club. For a 20$ Sandwich I believe this is a wrong move.View more

Petit café sympa pour déguster un panini à l'italienneView more
Heard some good things about this place. Decided to stop here first after driving from Ottawa. Was blown away that a sandwhich & tiramisu was $27. Cashier was friendly until he wasent, which was coincidentally when he saw we hadent left a tip( we tip in cash). The ordering is chaotic, had no idea where to wait for food. Waited 17 minutes for a sandwhich with 2 slices of meat & a slice of cheese on it. A bunch of the hard pieces of pickled banana peppers you find at the bottom of the bucket & a whole olive. At the 12 minute mark, we met the female employee who spoke very quietly in a crowded space. It was busy. She said something while holding a sandwhich, I assumed after it had been a while that it was mine. I turned to ask her about the sandwhich. She asked me what my name was. I told her. She then says'Well, this is Madison's order not yours'. I did say okay & sorry. She trudged over to the crowd of people. Looked very displeased being there. My sandwhich came & it was plopped down between my partner & I with a'Here'. This lady proceeded to stare at me while I was eating, making me very uncomfortable. I didn't finish the sandwhich, I just told my partner we could leave. We thanked them on the way out & left.
There is no where to hang your coat that is visible to you.
Staff are iffy & it genuinely made me uncomfortable to be in there.
Sandwhich was...meh. dry. No sauce. Nothing. Just oil &'pickled vegetables', just banana peppers.
Its over priced & you get attitude for mis hearing.
Don't think I will be back. I usually eat at Dagwoods( not available in Ottawa) & I regret not doing that.
Partner said he enjoyed the tiramisu, but it was a bought in dessert so....View more
Les sandwich sont délicieux, mais soyez vigilant avec votre commande!!!
Ce soir, nous avons été accueilli chaleureusement comme a l'habitude. Par contre, nous avons attendu 30 minutes pour nos sandwich. Ils avaient oublié notre commande sur le comptoir, alors que c'était a peine achalandé.Ils étaient tellement froid, qu'on avait l'impression qu'ils sortaient tout droit du frigidaire.. nous avons à peine eu un'désolé'. Nous ne sommes pas près d'y retourner!View more
I just got their panini of the month (fried chicken, bacon, jam & peanut butter). It was AWESOME. There's a lot of fillings, contrary to many other expensive sandwich places where the sandwich taste more of bread that what's supposed to be in the fillings. & also, the bread quality at Parma is very good. & very decent price for the quantity, we don't feel too much screwed up as a consumer - which is the case for many other restaurants who charge very high but for very few ingredients.
The waitress was very busy with many customers (no wonder considering this is a very good cafe) but she took the time to acknowledge me while taking care of all the orders behind the counter & she was very nice.View more
Nous avons eu une très bonne expérience. La café & la nourriture étaient très bonne, les gens étaient sympathique.View more
Cafe is pretty small , I wouldn't go in with a big group . The menu is also written very small but they had a lot of options ! The cashier was kind enough to explain different options for me :)View more
