Review Summary

Parma Café is described as a cozy, welcoming spot in Jean Talon Market with plenty of room, a calm vibe, and friendly staff, making it suitable for studying or a casual meal. The coffee is consistently praised for being bold and well made, and the service is often noted as fast and courteous. The food earns high marks too, with many raving about the paninis, the mortadella and pesto, the eggplant parm, caprese salad, and other Italian offerings, plus desserts like Nutella cookies. The atmosphere is repeatedly called charming and cozy, with an open kitchen adding to the experience. While value is generally seen as good and portions generous, a few reviews mention slower service during busy times or occasional inconsistency in sandwich quality. Overall Parma Café comes across as a dependable go-to for strong coffee, tasty sandwiches, and a friendly, comfortable environment in the market area.

When I have a day off & the National Library seems a little too much for me go to, this coffee shop is my number one choice location to write & think. Just a two-minute walk from the metro, next to Montreal's biggest farmers' market, & it offers a lot of space if you're someone who brings books & a laptop (they have plug sockets too!!!). Coffee is brewed awesomely, but the excellent service is what convinced me to be a repeat customer.

Stopped by Parma Café just for coffee & it hit the spot. Good quality, tasted fresh, & service was quick & friendly. Nothing fancy, just a solid, reliable cup. Would grab coffee here again.

I love how huge this branch is. Many seating options & a beautiful terrace. Their pasta is good but nothing to die for. The coffee is okay. The service is a very Montreal level basic. In general will be coming back to try more options in their menu.
