Review Summary

Parma Café is described as a casual Italian cafe with a broad menu of food and desserts, where fresh bread and generous paninis such as steak capicollo and porchetta, along with classics like tiramisu and cannoli, stand out for authentic flavors. Across reviews, the vibe is cozy and welcoming, the atmosphere lively, and the staff friendly and helpful, though a few notes point to occasional counter delays or a busy, noisy space. The sandwiches and deli items consistently come up as the top picks, with many praising the mortadella panini, the balance of fillings, and the crisp bread, while some diners mention value as a plus and others caution that take-out or lunchtime crowds can affect experience. Desserts and pasta are also highlighted for quality, with coffee praised by many and at least one miss on an iced latte. Overall, Parma Café is viewed as a reliable choice for flavorful, substantial meals and casual dining, offering good value and a memorable sandwich experience, while acknowledging that peak times can feel crowded and service can vary.

Sandwiches are good, bread is great & they offer a nice variety of combinations but we find they could add more (quantity of cold) meat to them. The staff is welcoming & the place is nice & clean.

We had steak paninis with latte. It was so delicious. One of the best paninis I've had.

Not the best compared to other branches. Their vegetable sandwich contained a lot of spinach (which was way too much & felt weird in the mouth) & I didn't see many other veggies in it. The homemade lemonade is too sweet. Overall it's slightly expensive too & the service is below average

Sur la qualité des produits vraiment rien à dire mais sur le service vraiment pas adéquate. J'avais passé un commande sur leur site internet. & une heure après c'était toujours pas prêt. La personne responsable des commandes n'a pas traité la commande. À la limite c'est une erreur. Ça arrive. Mais ce que je trouve inadmissible est que la personne qui ordonne les commandes à la cuisine ne les a même pas averti pour leur dire de le traiter en priorité & m'a juste mis en ligne avec les autres commandes. De plus, elle ne s'est même pas excusé. J'ai dû me plaindre & la cuisine m'a tout de suite demandé & s'est pressé de préparer la commande. Le cuisinier m'a offert un dessert en s'excusant plusieurs fois comme compensation par professionalisme. Mais le service soit apprendre à assumer ses erreurs & être plus réactif pour les rattraper.

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.
