Palermo Cafe & Deli

Started coming here for morning coffee and muffin about a year ago — quality is decent — better than Tim’s but not as good as Bridgehead for example. But its the prices that won me over — they cannot be beat. Friendly staff too.

Came in here on a late Sunday afternoon, just minutes before it was closing. The lady was nice though and warmed up a quick parlermo panini. That’s right, warmed up; this is a very casual cafeteria-​type of eatery on Sparks street, aimed for those looking for a quick fix during lunch time.
Despite the cafeteria look and feel, the selection of food is quite varied. The palermo panini I had was decent; probably would have been better had it been fresh. The Medittereanan panini also looked great, and anytime there’s a selection of Nanaimo bars for dessert, it’s a good sign. The prices were definitely affordable, and as mentioned, the lady at the counter was helpful and friendly despite my last-​minute intrusion.
