Parliament Cafe

Parliament Cafe is a small coffee shop at 5 John Mackintosh Square, in the centre of town. It is not on Tripadvisor; on Google it stands at 4.6 from 5 reviews, four of them with text, all re-read on 6 September 2026. With fewer than fifteen reviews it is listed on the Index but not ranked, and the newest review is from July 2026.

What the reviews say is consistent and brief: good coffee, very tasty sandwiches, and staff who are efficient and friendly. Two reviewers call the coffee the best, one says they stop here often, and another notes the position on a main street with nice service.

The one wrinkle is that the newest review, from July 2026, gives three stars while saying only kind things about the staff, which is why the score has slipped from a perfect five since we last read it. Nothing in the text explains the missing stars, so we do not guess.

Come for a coffee and a sandwich on the central square, and treat the score as a first impression rather than a settled view. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; this write-up is drawn entirely from the reviews.
