Review Summary

Parma Café earns high marks for quality coffee, delicious Italian style bites, and consistently friendly service, with many reviews praising the panini and the monthly special and noting a lively yet cozy atmosphere in the heart of the city. While the menu is loved for sandwiches, pastas, and reliable espresso, some guests mention occasional inconsistencies such as dry porchetta or items priced higher than expected, and a few comments about crowded spaces or minor service hiccups, but overall the place is described as a dependable spot for coffee, lunch, and a welcoming vibe.

Exceptional value, fast food level price but private cafe atmosphere, portion & quality. We had a sausage breakfast sandwich, & a grilled cheese with drinks. I felt compelled to leave a review. Delicious 👌 $11 each

Italian cafe & sandwiches with cute staff. What else could you need?
TLDR: espresso great, matcha best I've had (!!!), sandwiches very good, had a classic tomato pesto style BANGER.

I ordered a flat white which was made small like a macchiato 🤌🏼 It was nice & strong & the espresso was smooth. Well made.
My friend ordered a matcha latte. God damn. those who seek the green dust- look no further.
I kept thieving sips of the best matcha latte I have ever had.
Often matcha lattes (& all lattes for that matter) are a time-consuming excuse not to steam milk smoothly (under or over), or mix the powder like it's a bowl of your morning oats. But this was not just some powder + liquid, this was a consistent drink.
The matcha itself was not sandy, grainy, muddy, earthy, bitter, or any other descriptor you non-matcha drinkers might use to describe it.
Anyways just frickin try it.
The sandwich, a monthly special on the menu, was a delectable way to bring joy to ma bouche. Toasted, bread not to thick, greasy, with a perfect distribution of cheese, tomato, pesto, & whatever else was on this bad boy… I simply regret not going back for seconds before close.
I evaluated my hunger to gauge if it would influence my review… & after careful consideration I believe that in fact I just like this place.

Nice coffeeshop, I went there today around 8am to take my breakfast & coffee, before I go to work. bagel cream cheese was very fresh & nice, coffee was also great. My uber was arriving in 2 min & didn't have my bagel cream cheese yet, so I told the person who was in charge of coffee preparation & she helped me to get my bagel cream cheese on time before my uber arrives.

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.
