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.
Great Steak panini. Delicious. Love the bread they use. Heavenly sandwich. Love the truffle sauce with fries on the side & even got the tortellini Rosée. I was full & happy 😃. Amazing 🤩
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.

March 12, Had the steak sandwich & was so tasty, tender & juicy! Followed with a Latte & Zeppole to finish it off.
Beats the competition!
One of my favourite spots in Laval to grab a quick coffee or a bite. In my few times here, I've tried the Parma Club, Spicy Steak & Capicollo sandwich & grilled chicken salad & they were all delicious. Uber orders are always upto par as well in terms of quality & freshness. Love this place
Very disappointed tonight after we ordered 2 panini of the month, at $17.95 each, we had 2 slices of steak, 6 arugula leafs in each sandwich. The last time I went, I had the steak/capocollo panini (again $17.95) which had one slice of each & I thought it was an off day but I guess it's the norm. I have been going to this location since then opening & I find the quality has gone down & it's very disappointing.
However, the service is always good, the restaurant has a good vibe & a beautiful terrace.
