Clarke Café comes across in reviews as a busy West Island staple that delivers large, satisfying sandwiches such as the chicken cutlet and porchetta, paired with excellent coffee including an iced latte and mochas, and a strong lineup of pastries like croissants, tiramisu, cannoli and scones. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and suitable for work or catching up with friends, though the space can get crowded at lunch and seating is sometimes hard to find. Service is generally friendly and efficient, with occasional hiccups such as delayed orders or misfired sandwiches, but customers report helpful staff and occasional gestures to make up for the inconvenience. Bread and fillings are praised for texture and freshness, with a variety of Italian products and toppings that add value. Worth noting are easy parking and a good value for the portions, and the overall impression is that Clarke Café is a reliable go to for comforting sandwiches, solid coffee, and desserts, with a lively but not overly quiet vibe and a few opportunities for consistency during peak hours.
L'endroit est bien placer mais je ne pense ps qu'il mérite notre argent, la nourriture n'est même pas bonne & les boisson goûte mauvais. C'est très rare que je prend un café ou latte ou n'importe quel autres boissons & ça goutte bon, j'y ai donner plusieurs chance j'y allait presque à chaque semaine, a vous de faire votre propre jugement
The matcha is very very bad, the powder they use has to be the cheapest one out there, & pleaseee add lactose free milk as an option (not oat or almond only). This place is very profit driven, the owner is rude & arrogant & the drinks have no effort put in them, for an 8$ drink with tax & tip I expect a better quality drink

I genuinely cannot understand how a coffee shop can only have ONE outlet. & the best part? Realizing after I had already ordered my 6$ latte. Apparently the owner decided to remove them, would love to hear the logic behind that.
Great little sandwich place in the West Island, delicious & good value. Great coffees & sweet treats as well. We usually take out but there is a sitting area as well. Would highly recommend!
I enjoyed a fresh Zeppole & cafe latte. Great food & great coffee. I also liked the atmosphere - not too loud, great to catch up with friends or do work.

Absolute gem of a place. Coffee is excellent, sandwiches are very fresh, great portion & at a very very reasonable price. Staff is polite & the place is clean. This area has needed something like this since Suzanna's has closed.

Amazing sandwich. I've been looking for a great sandwich place in the West Island & this place impressed me. I had the porchetta sandwich with eggplant & bomba sauce.
They had a little issue where their printer wasn't sending to the kitchen & my sandwich got delayed. They apologized for the wait & gave me a free drink of my choice for the inconvenience. Great experience!
Une superbe découverte dans l'Ouest de l'Île qui coche toutes les cases !
Le favori : Le sandwich à la porchetta. Bien frais & surtout richement garnie.
Le choix des ados : Le poulet pané a fait l'unanimité. Egalement très frais & parfaitement croustillant, c'est une valeur sûre pour plaire.
Le café est excellent & le chocolat chaud également - riche en goût, mais juste assez sucré, comme il faut.
La touche finale : Impossible de repartir sans goûter aux classiques. Le tiramisu & les cannolis sont excellents & terminent le repas sur une note sucrée parfaite.
Verdict : Une adresse coup de coeur où l'on sent la passion pour la qualité des ingrédients. On reviendra sans faute pour tester le reste du menu !
