The space is described as open and comfortable, great for studying or writing, especially for those who bring books or laptops and appreciate a few plug sockets, while some visits note occasional slow service during busy times and the occasional variation in dish quality, yet the overall atmosphere, value, and welcoming staff keep it a reliable favorite for many.
Dropped in for a cappuccino. I was pleasantly surprised how nice this place was. I did not expect the coffee to audio be that exceptional, but it was! Next visit I hope to try some food.

Super expérience dans ce café. Le service est vraiment attentionné. J'étais en poussette & on m'a très bien accueillie, on m'a même aidée à m'installer. Les sandwiches étaient délicieux & le café parfait. Je recommande!
I paid almost $20 (with tax) for a chicken panini at Parma Café Jean talon & honestly, it was not worth it. The taste was very average - nothing special, & definitely not worth that price. I also left a $2 tip, but the person taking the order didn't seem pleased, maybe my tip was too small. That made the experience even more disappointing.
For $20, there are definitely much better options in town. I had higher expectations, but this place did not deliver. Looks impressive, but doesn't deliver.
Sorry. But I won't be visiting again.
When I have a day off & the National Library seems a little too much for me go to, this coffee shop is my number one choice location to write & think. Just a two-minute walk from the metro, next to Montreal's biggest farmers' market, & it offers a lot of space if you're someone who brings books & a laptop (they have plug sockets too!!!). Coffee is brewed awesomely, but the excellent service is what convinced me to be a repeat customer.
Stopped by Parma Café just for coffee & it hit the spot. Good quality, tasted fresh, & service was quick & friendly. Nothing fancy, just a solid, reliable cup. Would grab coffee here again.
Got the sandwich of the month & it's probably going to be a core memory. Truffle, honey, mushroom, arugula & prosciutto. That chef Jeff really knows his stuff. Compliments to the chef🤩
J'ai mangé ici plusieurs fois, c'est devenu un de mes endroits préférés parce que la nourriture est délicieuse & le service est excellent. Si vous cherchez un endroit agréable, c'est une très bonne option. Je le recommande fortement 😃
