At Parma Café, the spirit of Italy meets the vibrancy of a fast-casual restaurant. Enjoy an authentic espresso prepared to perfection, as if you were in Naples. The menu, featuring carefully prepared paninis and salads, will also take your taste buds on a culinary journey. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely coffee, Parma Café promises a warm and welcoming atmosphere, just like home.
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.
I don't know if I got unlucky because most people seem to love the food here but I got the classic chicken panini & it was the most unflavored sandwhich I've ever had. It smells exactly like the mcjunior from mcdonalds becaue its pretty mich the same ingredients & I believe their sauce was mayonnaise. The sandwich was cold as well.
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

the service was amazing!! the interior is so nice creating a great atmosphere! the sandwiches are the best & they also make amazing drinks!! 10/10 would recommend
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.

Just keeps getting worse. Terrible business decisions for profit. Used to be the best place for the most well-crafted Italian sandwiches.
Sausage sandwich just jumped from 13.95 to 16.95 from one week to the next. San Daniele sandwich went up yet another dollar, for the same, if not worse quality. In the past year, for the San Daniele, olive tapenade was removed, & the quantity of mortadella was almost halved & is otherwise inconsistent.
In the past year, for their whole lineup, they decided to replace any greens with shredded McDonald's-like lettuce because it was'easier' (read: cheaper). Fries portion was cut in half because they designed their new branded container. Most sandwiches went up in price despite all this.
They can't even compensate with warm customer service; everyone always acts too busy to serve anyone, with barely a smile.
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.
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.
Really yummy papini place with lots of options.. chose the veggie one. The place was a bit too cold for me but I could not stop eating my sandwich 😋🥙
Was laptop friendly when I went, great mood to get some work done 👌 really friendly staff as well
