Visited again after a year. Editing my 5 star to 2.
I felt like the girl at the cashier that took our order didnt want to interact with us. Just a plain hi/bonjour no smile just no energy. Second is I hate tipping before being served cause of today itself, gave a 15% & service/food was bad. The other girl that came to drop our cafe glacé too felt off. But atleast the guy that came with the foods gave a nice interaction.
Foodwise, that's the complete opposite of what I had a year before. The steak panani was bland & watery. I literally left half of it. The caesar salad too was mid. Only good thing that remained good was the fries & truffle mayo. That's just sad. Hope this was just an isolated bad case. Good luck!

First Timer.
Plenty of parking around.
Welcoming & friendly staffs.
Place was clean & cosy.
Menu was straightforward with quite a lot of Panini options.
Food came like 5min after ordering which was nice. I personally had the La Gigi which was good, compared the Turkey one, which I tasted too. Also, fries portion is real big 💯
We visit Parma Café at this location regularly for one simple reason: consistency. The food, service, & value are always excellent.
The steak sandwich, unlike many others we've tried, is actually generously filled & made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It's consistently delicious. The restaurant is always clean, & management is visibly present, ensuring everything runs smoothly & that customers are well looked after.
If you're stopping by, I highly recommend their iced coffee as it's the perfect complement to the meal.
Première visite au Parma, j'ai été agréablement surprise. Nous avons mangé une salade tomate & bocconcini, excellente & super fraîche ! Un sandwich au steak, délicieux, le pain était frais & croustillant & les garnitures généreuse & goûteuse & à côté une frite, chaude & croustillante.
Le concept est bien, l'attente était raisonnable malgré le nombre de clients, service aux tables, personnel souriant.
Le café n'est pas bon, le sandwich au steak manque de viande, & tout leur poulet est certifié halal donc je ne peux pas en manger, car je ne mange pas de viande halal.
The sandwiches are phenomenal. Bread is fresh, meat is perfectly cooked & seasoned, veggies add a lot to the balance. The service is a little hit or miss depending on the staff. I love the food at Parma but the coffee is really mid, tastes a little bitter & burnt. Still a really cute place to hang out & grab a great steak baguette.
We took the paninis, one italian sausage & one steak & both was very good! Our favorite is definitely the sausage one it was full of flavours. The matcha was watery not very good but it's not their specialty so it was expected. However, my friend loved her coffee. It is a bit noisy but besides that would go back to try their croissant!
C'est quand même un grand café, avec beaucoup de places assises & une belle terrasse. Le service est rapide & courtois. Beaucoup de choix. Nous avons mangé un panini au steak épicé & un latte glacé. Tout était délicieux, mais je suggère quelques petites améliorations pour avoir un 5 étoiles. Les 2 moitiés de sandwich n'étaient pas garnis également. Un côté avait des oignons marinés, pas l'autre. Même chose pour les jalapenos. Ca mériterait plus de constance pour une meilleure expérience. Pour les lattes glacés, il manquait de glace. Après 2 minutes, elles étaient tous fondues. J'aime quand ça reste bien froid le temps que je déguste mon breuvage.
Une mention spéciale à la dame qui faisait le service sur la terrasse, très attentionnée aux clients sur place.
Parma Café is a standout. I ordered the steak sandwich & it was excellent-perfectly cooked, flavorful, & clearly made with care.
The service was just as impressive. The staff were attentive, welcoming, & genuinely kind without being overbearing. The atmosphere is calm & inviting, making it an ideal place to sit, relax, & enjoy your meal.
Overall, a well-rounded experience. I would absolutely return & highly recommend it.
