Overall Parma Café is described as a go-to spot in Laval with a reliable menu, welcoming atmosphere, and strong service, worth returning to for both coffee and meals.
The sandwich à la Gigi was good & so were the French fries. Loved the truffle mayo they come with. It's a good study spot, very nice ambiance & lots of chargers. Can get pretty loud after 6 & laptops are not allowed 11:30-2:30 on weekdays. Other than that really nice place

Very rude service asked for more milk in my latte only to be told get up & get it at the « coffee « bar not even able To being it to the table ? Unreal
Love love love this place! Great coffee, fantastic sandwiches & desserts. The staff & owners are so nice. I go almost everyday for my morning coffee♡ Great job you guys! So happy to finally have you in Laval! I highly recommend this place for the atmosphere, food & service!
Expérience très désagréable du début à la fin.
Nous avons demandé une table & tout semblait normal au départ. Mais dès que d'autres amis nous ont rejointes le gérant a changé de ton & nous a immédiatement lancé de manière sèche & offensive qu'il n'y avait plus de chaises.
Au lieu de gérer la situation calmement il s'est mis à nous reprocher de ne pas avoir donné le bon nombre dès le début. Nous avons pourtant essayé de trouver une solution en nous divisant en deux groupes, mais il a insisté pour qu'un groupe quitte les lieux. Le pire reste son comportement : il a commencé à crier sur nous au point où toute la salle s'est retournée pour nous regarder. Une situation humiliante & totalement inacceptable.
J'assume tout à fait que le nombre de personnes a changé entre-temps cela peut arriver. Mais cela ne lui donne en aucun cas le droit de nous manquer de respect.
Un minimum de professionnalisme & de savoir-vivre serait attendu dans ce genre d'établissement.
Résultat : nous sommes parties immédiatement & ne reviendrons jamais. À éviter.
Si je pouvais je mettrais zéro étoile sans hésiter.
First time at this Parma Cafe Laval. the food was excellent. My wife ordered the Chicken Sandwich & I had the Italian Sausage Sandwich on their made in house panini. Both were very fresh & tasty & worth the price.
The owner came over & asked if everything was ok, I couldn't lie & told him it was excellent & that he had a nice place.
Follow up.....
March 12, Had the steak sandwich & was so tasty, tender & juicy! Followed with a Latte & Zeppole to finish it off.
Beats the competition!

Honestly, this is the worst service I've experienced. The manager speaks very disrespectfully to customers. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for a calm environment to study or work.
The service is horrible they made us leave the table where we were sat ( even tho the cafe was empty) because the table was reserved for no computers at this certain time? The Manager made us leave. If they implement a policy they should put it somewhere else in the store. We came from a long way to come & study & work here but then we get interrupted because of their policy that you can't use your laptop from 11:30 till 2:30 this is not mentioned anywhere.
Parma Cafe's panini of the month was AMAZING!!!!It was the perfect lunch! Cozy vibe & welcoming staff! Jay one of the partner was super chill, thanks for the recommendation!
C'est très bon, un poil cher, mais le pain, la charcuterie, les quantités, le café sont excellents ! Service rapide mais peu être très achalandé pour avoir une table.

Par pur hasard je suis rentrée dans ce café italien. Wow!!! Service rapide courtois & exceptionnel. Les panini sont tendre & vraiment bons. J'ai pris le mortadelle, pesto pistache, pesto basilic, & fiori di latte, salade, le summum très très bon. Le café est extraordinaire du vrai bon café capuchinno Comme je les aimes. Vraiment BRAVO jattendais une place comme celle là à Laval. Le staff est sympatique surtout la fille au comptoir qui a une joie de vivre fantastique (bella).ça fait du bien de voir des employées qui servent les clients dans les règles de l'art. Félicitations
Sieti molto gentile e bravi!! Ciao
Owner/gerant tres désagréable & commande reçue erronée (commandé un London fog mais ils
m'ont mis le mauvais thé dedans- ça avait l'air d'un thé à la mente avec du lait)
First time trying out this cafe ! I indeed like the vibe . I like Italian cafe & this one is in a good location, they have all kind of coffees plus food , they even serve alcohol! Recommend this cafe !

Definitely the best café in Town!!!😍😍😍
Everything was amazing, they don't rush you to eat & leave. We had time to actually relax, enjoy the menu & digest while tchating. They came & clean our tables without even asking, talk about excellent servic👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I'M VERY PICKY & IT'S A MUST TRY💯💯💯
They have a rule about no laptop usage during certain hours, which was never clearly communicated. At first, we were told that if we closed our laptops, we could stay. I honestly don't understand what the issue is with having a laptop at a table.
We were asked to move from a table for four to a table for two since we were only two people, which was completely reasonable, & we moved without any issue.
Shortly after, we were asked to leave because people were waiting. After already cooperating, that felt unnecessary & disappointing.
On top of that, the staff were rude & dismissive in the way they communicated with us, which made the whole situation worse.
Overall, not a pleasant experience & I wouldn't recommend it
Very yummy cafe. Delicious food & pastries. Beautiful interior design, nice huuuge tv showing the olympics so that was nice too. Nice employees, the busboys especially!!
Definitely recommend, will be coming back.
