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.

Première visite à ce restaurant, offre de salades ou sandwichs. Commande au comptoir a été rapide sans être amical non plus.

Bel espace lumineux avec un mélange de tables & comptoirs pour s'y asseoir. J'ai apprécié le libre-service pour l'eau, rapide & efficace.

J'ai opté pour la salade Caesar au poulet grillé à $20. Belle portion de salade, bonne vinaigrette honnête sans être dans les meilleures. J'ai bien aimé les croûtons, croquants & savoureux. Le poulet goûtait bon, semble être à l'origan.

Au final, une place où l'on priorise l'efficacité à la chaleur de l'expérience, pas un négatif en soi, juste le genre de place impersonnelle qu'on s'attend au centre-ville. Pour travailleurs affairés qui veulent bien manger.

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.

Les sandwichs sont bon avec un prix compréhensible, mais les salades sont hors de prix pour ce qu'il y a dedans : ex : la salade romaine constituée à 80% juste de salade, un poil de bacon & des croûtons... Dommage! L ajout de quelques légumes type tomates cerises & concombres comme dans l autre salade par exemple ajouterai un plus & pourrait vaguement justifier le prix.

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?

I tried the Parma salad, & it was tasty & overall very good. The bread seems like homemade. My friends tried the sandwich of the day & other types like grilled chicken. They looked yummy! The portion of French fries is big enough to share. This place is usually crowded, but it is possible to order & take away.
