Review Summary

Parma Café is described as a lively spot with a wide menu of Italian comfort foods and drinks, where tiramisu and various paninis, including popular chicken and steak options, come highly praised along with fresh bread and good coffee. The space feels modern and bright with high ceilings, big windows, and plenty of seating, making it a nice place for studying or hanging out, and the staff are generally friendly and attentive. Some reviews note occasional service hiccups such as misordered or delayed items during busy lunch periods, but overall the atmosphere, value, and consistent quality keep customers returning to Parma Café for meals, coffee, and desserts.

The Salmon sandwich is ART!! The prochutto one is pretty good too, but salmon is best! The coffee was average, I ordered a latte & it was definitely not a latte, more like a cappuccino. The stuff members could use a little training on the coffee making from European bartenders. The decor is great, however there is no much space to seat & it gets crowded & noisy very easily. Otherwise a good spot to seat, chat & have a sandwich!

The steak panini is delicious! I highly recommend trying it, the bread is crispy, the meat is tender, it's flavourful & easy to bite down. All around fantastic sandwich. On the other hand, it should be illegal to charge 5.75$ for a 14oz latte made with an automatic espresso machine. The price of latte is justified by the craft, care & intention put into the cup. This coffee was not it at all.

Beautiful little café with incredible sandwiches & very decent prices. The arancini is to die for!! Their coffee drinks are truly authentic Italian. If you're looking to quickly satisfy a growling stomach, this place is for you. Cozy, warm, delicious & artistic!

It's a nice cozy & tiny place to gather with your friends with good food & coffee My smoked salmon sandwich was so good as well as the double espresso coffee. I ordered a small cannoli & pasteis De natal but the cannoli was smaller than I expected. The Portuguese dessert was quite well. Overall, the service & food are great & recommend it.

Nice, clean cafe with friendly staff.
Coffee was good, & the sandwiches were excellent. Service was a little slow.

We ordered 2 sandwiches to share, the BLT & the Italian.

Both were delicious. The BLT stole the show with the Deep fried Tomato for a unique twist.

Crispy, but soft baguette. Lettuce, house mayo & lots of bacon. Nice chunk of mozza too.

We returned for the sandwich on the way back home. 2 times in one vacation. Really great.

A nice little place but I think understaffed though friendly & welcoming. I liked it & my sandwich was amazing coffee so-so but the young lady there was all alone so she rings up the order & has to also make the coffee. No easy task but it was nice & I enjoyed it. I would go back.
