Parma Café stands out as a cozy, friendly Italian spot near Montreal's Jean Talon Market, with reviews praising excellent coffee, delicious sandwiches, and attentive service. The space is described as open and comfortable, great for studying or writing, especially for those who bring books or laptops and appreciate a few plug sockets, while some visits note occasional slow service during busy times and the occasional variation in dish quality, yet the overall atmosphere, value, and welcoming staff keep it a reliable favorite for many.
Great food, even better service. The manager Santino loves what he does & it shows in the exceptional service he provides. Eggplant Parmesan panini is the best!

I called the Parma Déjeuner & a Machiato & its so delicious. The bread is crunchy. The atmosphere is very cozy & nice. I came here for work & its a perfect environment for you to work. I love this place so much

Two stars because my sandwich was good. BF & I went for paninis because they looked amazing.
The good: cute cafe, spacious.
The bad: we BOTH ordered sandwiches, & his came 15 minutes before mine. By the time mine came, his was cold (as he didn't want to be rude & start eating without me).
Four / five employees on with only 5-6 tables eating. Busier on their phones & blasting the horrible music than making their orders. We will not be back. Montreal has way too many good restaurants to waste time & money on bad service & annoying atmosphere.
Just had an amazing lunch at this charming Italian café! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was rich & flavorful, & the service was warm & welcoming. You can really taste the love in every dish. Definitely a hidden gem-can't wait to go back!hoping tomorrow
& by the way my picky 5 yr old daughter loved it too
De bons sandwichs italiens comme on les aimes! 👌 plusieurs choix de sandwichs & autres plats. & du très bon café! 😋
La terrasse est très agréable en été. ☀?L'intérieur du commerce est grand & il y a beaucoup de places assises.
It was my first visit at this cafe. Ordered a roast beef sandwich, which looked very delicious but then when I took a bite, there was very hard, gristly pieces of meat & cartilage. Unfortunately it wasn't just one bite & the whole sandwich had pieces like that. Wouldn't recommend it.
