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.
Je suis aller diner avec le Chiabatta du mois style smash burger . Bien mais la viande était fade & manquait de sauce .
J y suis retourné pour déjeuner a l ouverture 25 min après avoir pris ma commande j ai reçu mon steak & egg sandwich .
L odeur était tres alléchante au gout par contre sec pas sauce dans le sandwich. Croquer sur un petit os la viande était fade .
Le service était vraiment accueillant pour les 2 fois
La rapidité de service est plutôt lent surtout avec le nombre de clients present lors de ma visite

Just had a fantastic eggplant parm panini here. The service was exceptional- tailored our drinks to our needs. Everyone working there was really nice & the place was super clean. Will definitely return.
Vraiment un bon endroit avec des excellents cafés. Les petites pâtisseries sont aussi excellentes. La personne est vraiment sympatique & nous explique bien les choix.
