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.

Great place for good coffee & lunch

An excellent Café well located for for a cozy coffee or lunch break. Their classic chicken sandwich was incredible - a little bit pricey for a sandwich, but the quality & portion ends up being well worth it. The service was very friendly, I would certainly visit again for more frequent lunch breaks, although it fills up quite quickly due to its location.

We were in town for a convention & stopped here for breakfast twice the pricing is great, the food is delicious & the coffee was delicious! Really nothing bad to say just a great spot for breakfast I got the BLT one day & the steak & eggs another day with a hash brown. Both delicious! Would love to come back go try other things on the menu or at lunch (the Italian sandwiches look amazing

Chef's kiss! Fresh, flavourful Italian sandwiches that are big enough to share, delicious pasta & tasty Caesar salad with homemade croutons. Perfect ambience with natural light & a nice patio for a relaxing lunch. If we lived here we would come all the time.

Ouf. Ouffffffff. Tricky one here. Food is good, & they might know it a bit too much. Got into the restaurant & asked about an update on an order made on UberEats. No one gave a damn **. Stayed there for 10 mins, nobody cared. Ordered at 11:15, pickup from between 12:15 to 12:45 for a client meeting. Got there at 12:20, UberEats app tells me ready by 1:05. No lunch for the meeting. Not great at all. I'll say this - they highly likely prioritize orders coming from their own platform. Just be mindful when you're about to do a pickup order, don't go through UberEats.

The food is good but if you want to waste your lunch time in waiting more than eating, go there. I feel like they are understaffed to save on costs even during the lunch rush hours. There is a lineup of ppl mostly waiting. Only one person that serves tables & meals to go...a joke!

Great panini sandwiches, fast takeout for lunch & sat in the park although you can eat inside & a small patio outside.

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?
