I came multiple times now !
The opening hours are VERY convenient
The food & the coffees are 10/10
They have screens for sports, tables for students & terrace for good weather days
The staff is friendly & helpful
Ordered from catering menu. Portions were very generous! The panini were absolutely delicious. We ordered the chicken cutlet, mortadella & prosciutto; the flavors & fillings were perfection. Pasta à la Gigi is always so well done. Nutella horns were so yummy!
Thank you so much! Guests ate so well. 🥰👌🏼
Ordered three 4-foot subs for pickup for a party, & all the subs were generously stacked with fillings. The cutlet was a little lacking in flavor compared to the mortadella & prosciutto, which really stood out.
The bread was a winner-fresh, sturdy, & held up perfectly through the cutting & devouring phases! 😂
Great service, very responsive by email, & food was ready before pickup time.
The custom boxes are also a great touch & make transporting the subs super easy. Overall, a solid choice for feeding a crowd!
Nowadays good service & decent pricing is very hard to come by. Parma café offers that, the staff looks happy & enganged, the management is always smiling & welcoming & it's some of my favourite coffee. I regularly go with my GF & we're definitely going to keep showing up. Clean place, good food, great service.
It's not a good place to go.
The service is mediocre, the cashier had an attitude & the waiter did a terrible job.
They brought me this cup of coffee cream, that was spilling everywhere, not even in a proper plate, or bothered to cleaned up the mess, when they brought it.
We stayed inside, & the music was extremely loud for a coffee shop. Not ideal to talk with friends, or study as some people were trying to do (the table beside ours).
We also ate some cakes, they all tasted terrible, & the texture was bad, as if they were laying there for days.
Its a cheap place to eat, the prices are cheap, so are the service, atmosphere, & food.
I dont not recommend this place at all...
The 5 stars reviews must be from the owner's family or firends, maybe even the employees. Because I dont see how could like this place.
All the tables were dirty on a Tuesday, it wasnt even that crowded.
Restaurant bas de gamme. J'ai pris un plat de tortellini sauce rosé. Ça ne vaut certainement pas 16$. La sauce goûte la sauce rosé en pot. Un repas de semaine. Nous avons également pris un sandwich & le goût est vraiment ordinaire, il manquait d'amour dans le plat. Les aranchini sont ok mais la sauce d'accompagnement goûte la sauce tomate en boîte
Le restaurant en tant que tel est beau mais les plafonds très haut permet aux sons de voyager librement & le restaurant est ainsi extrêmement bruyant
