Review Summary

Overall, Parma Café receives strong praise for delicious Italian style dishes, excellent coffee, and friendly, efficient service in a bright, welcoming setting that works for both quick meals and work sessions. The sandwiches and paninis are frequently highlighted as flavorful and substantial, with monthly specials and crowd favorites keeping regulars coming back, while espresso and other drinks are often described as top quality. The atmosphere is often noted as pleasant and conducive to lingering or getting work done, though a few reviews mention that the space can feel small or busy and that some prices run high for the portion or item. Occasional critiques point to dryness in a porchetta panini and a few service hiccups, but the overall impression is of reliable food, good value in portions, and friendly staff. In short, Parma Café stands out for solid coffee, tasty bites, and a welcoming vibe that draws guests back.

Quaint little cafe with good value sandwiches that taste quite nice. The combo comes with a large portion of parmesan fries. That being said, with the combo the price can add up!

Thank you to Angelo from Parma Cafe for providing 65 delicious lunch boxes for our Randstad Team's EDI&A event. The paninis, salads, cannoli, & beverages were fresh, healthy, & incredibly tasty, making for very happy colleagues. The service is top-notch, & the delivery was perfectly on time. What more could you ask for?

We happened on Parma Cafe by chance, on our way to another cafe, & decided to come back the next day. I have to say, i'm happy we did come back for breakfast because not only was the decor & ambiance quaint, but had what I can honestly say was the best grilled cheese i've had in a very long time. We came back later in the day for the cannolis & some pasta bolognese to take home, & they were both sooo good too. Cannot recommend this place enough.
