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.

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!

Awesome employee & coffee but it's really sad to see him being overworked. Please staff two people if possible because it takes away from efficiently as well as put an impossible workload on one person at the front counter. Over working good employees in not the way to go!

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.

For those who don't eat pork, please note that rather than listing bacon as an ingredient like every other resto on the planet, you need to check what the asterisk is for (indicated on the bottom left of the board). $20 in the garbage.

Value for money is great, the pasta wasn't the best but their other menu items looked good.
