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.

I recently visited Parma Café & was pleasantly surprised. It's a great spot to grab a delicious coffee, but you can also come for lunch since they offer a variety of sandwiches, salads, & cold drinks.
The menu has a good selection of coffee options, & the desserts are definitely worth trying. I highly recommend the Caprese salad - it was fresh & really flavorful.
The service was exceptional, & the staff were genuinely kind & welcoming, which made the experience even better. The space is quite large, with a nice atmosphere, good music, & thoughtful decoration.
Overall, it's a beautiful place to visit at any time of the day, right in the heart of Laval.
Ive been here a few times my wife & we always enjoy everything they make. Everytime we go we try new things & we are never disappointed. The owners treat you like family the service is impeccable & the food is phenomenal. The coffee is fantastic! I would recommend for a quick bite, coffee & sweets or a full meal.
They have many tables inside & outside.
Thanks to the staff & owners you all treat everyone with respect & kindness!
Keep doing what your doing. It's a guarantee you will see us again!
food is good, pasta & sandwiches are delicious. Coffee very good, salads need more dressing & matcha latte wasn't the best, especially for 7$ I had higher expectations…
First time there & was pleased by the atmosphere & the delicious assortment of pastries & treats. I had a chocolate & caramel mousse, which was really good & not overly sweet. My macchiato coffee was also very good & made correctly. They did forget my food order, but once they were reminded, they served it up quickly. Recommended & eager to go back.
j'aurais pu mettre un 5 étoiles mais…Je suis un habitué du lieu, toujours eu un bon service jusqu'au 22 avril a 10a.m, la personne a la caisse, Ni Bonjour, ni sourire, ni merci… elle nous sert a table pareil, pas courtoise ni rien, bref quand on ne veut pas travailler on reste chez soi
Not the best, I sit & wait until they ask me go move around, I pick a table & they tell me to move, then I pick another one & told me they need it for more people (mind you at this point I have been 4 hours there CONSUMING as much as everyone else). Honestly you feel off, much better the cafe in front where you can sit & not be moved around. Plus the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Seems I am not the only one based on previous reviews. If you need to stay long time, I definitely do not recommend unless you come in a group, the only way you won't be bothered, be sure you will be highly prioritized (4+). Not coming back.
Place is packed, service is mediocre. We were three seated at a table. Two tables were stuck together. After finishing our meal, the waiter asked if he could split the tables & use one for other customers. We agreed, no problem. He offered drinks on the house for the inconvenience . Nobody used that table for at least 30 minutes. Dude comes back with one drink. We're three people...Staff is so lost. So disoraganized. First time going there. Won't ever catch me there again.
Service extrêmement désagréable du gérant. Sachez que vous ne pouvez pas utilisez vos ordinateurs/tablettes de 11h30 à 14h30 du lundi au jeudi & à partir de midi les autres jours avant de commander. Ils ne préviennent qu'une fois à table & le gérant le demande très brusquement.

Si vous cherchez un café au centropolis, c'est the place to go. Oubliez mandys ou presse café qui servent des potions ridicules & là quand de fraîcheur. Chez Parma, vous avez beaucoup de choix & de la nourriture fraîche & bonne. Les portions sont généreuses aussi. Le café est très beau visuellement mais la musique beaucoup trop forte. Globalement je recommande fortement meilleur qualité prix
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 🤩
Unfortunately, we couldn't get a table for four because the place was completely full. Most of the tables were occupied by students who seemed to stay for long periods, which made it difficult for other customers to find a seat. It would be advisable for the establishment to better manage table turnover for those who actually want to dine.
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
