The sandwich & coffee were both mediocre & overpriced, so I wouldn't recommend them.

Loved the veggie sandwich so fresh & not dry, they also have an app so you can accumulate points & i think you can get a free sandwich of the week if it's your first time signing up on the app

We had such an amazing time at Parma Café yesterday! The sandwiches were absolutely delicious, & the lattes, just as good 😊

The girl at the counter was the sweetest person ever, & really contributed positively to our experience. Definitely a must try in Montréal, especially the sandwiches!

Delicious sandwiches! Solid spot for a quick bite.
The tiramisu was not the freshest when we ordered it.

Will keep coming back here to try new items!

Visited this spot on October 2025 - Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, & friendly management despite a rough first impression at the counter.

Food: The sandwiches & fries were delicious, with generous portions - definitely worth it!

Service: Unfortunately, the'younger' cashier / barista seemed quite rude & uninterested. When we asked about our missing fries halfway through the meal, he simply said'I know,' which felt dismissive. Luckily, what seemed to be the manager was much friendlier & welcoming - smiling, attentive, & much easier to approach.

Atmosphere: Cozy & pleasant vibe, although there aren't many tables - more bar-style seating. Still, a nice spot to sit down & enjoy a good lunch.

Overall, despite the initial service hiccup, we really enjoyed our meal & will definitely be coming back!
