Visited Parma Cafe in downtown Montreal during the summer & had a great experience. I ordered a coffee & pasta, & both were excellent-fresh, well-balanced, & clearly made with care. Special thanks to the chef, Jinil, whose cooking really stood out. The flavors were rich & comforting, & the presentation was clean & appetizing. A solid spot for anyone looking for good coffee & quality Italian-style food in the heart of the city. Would definitely visit again.

I am embarrassingly fussy about my coffee & truthfully not that many cafes can pull a decent espresso. I am super addicted to this place… like a junk I crawl in every day I'm in town to get my fix, usually 3 in a row while I have my cigarillo on the steps with the fientes d'oiseaux … not even that can put me off.
Hopelessly addicted 😢☕?☕?☕?💀

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.

It's quite unfortunate, & honestly embarrassing.
