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.

In short, Parma Café stands out for solid coffee, tasty bites, and a welcoming vibe that draws guests back.
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.

Quaint little cafe with good value sandwiches that taste quite nice. The combo comes with a large portion of parmesan fries. That being said, with the combo the price can add up!
Wonderful sandwiches! Artisan bread. Pasta & sauce cooked to perfection. Great vibe. 80's music on blast. Had the San Daniele & Eggplant parm sandwiches. Super fresh & everyone was so friendly. Stumbled upon this place while lost & walking around with the kids. It was our oasis in the moment! The owner Angelo went out of his way to make us feel welcome!
