Review Summary

Clarke Café is widely celebrated as a standout destination in the West Island, praised primarily for its generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and delicious sandwich selection, particularly the porchetta and chicken cutlet options. Many visitors highlight the fresh, flavorful food, excellent coffee, and inviting, clean atmosphere, making it a popular choice for quick lunches or casual meetups. While the establishment is highly regarded for its value and staff, it has sparked significant debate regarding its policy toward remote work and students, as the management limits seating and access to amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets during busy lunch hours to accommodate diners. Although some patrons feel these restrictions are unwelcoming, others defend the business model as a necessary step to manage capacity and ensure space for those coming specifically for a meal, resulting in a generally positive reputation despite occasional service inconsistencies.

Super bon sandwich sur gros pain style ciabatta plusieurs options de condiments.
Très beau Très propre & très populaire. Peut accommoder des petits groupes de 8 personnes ou moins. Faut essayer, ça en vaut le coût !

What an adorable cafe!! Love how close this is to my house, instead of having to go all the way downtown for a cute cafe. I got the caesar salad with grilled chicken & my friend got calabrese sandwich. She would give it an 8/10, she loved how light the bread was. I absolutely loved my salad. The portion is so big I didn't finish it!! Would definitely come back.

Very good sandwiches. Condiments/toppings become pricey, if you want more than the two which are included with the sandwich. Was better when they offered Orangina.

The food is good there, but the only problem is during rush hours (11 a.m.-2 p.m.) they shut off the Wi-Fi, so it's impossible for students who come in to do their work.

🇮🇹What a little gem! Clarke Café was such a wonderful surprise. The café itself is spacious & inviting, perfect whether you're meeting for a quick coffee date, staying longer to chat, or even settling in to study or work.

We tried the porchetta & chicken sandwiches & both were fantastic!!! The bread was fresh & light, the sauces were perfectly paired, & everything tasted incredibly fresh. The portions are generous, the service was quick, & the prices are very reasonable.

They also have delicious coffees & desserts to round everything out. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

I've been going to Clarke's in the West Island ever since it opened. I absolutely love the sandwiches, pastries & coffees. It's top notch & I'm glad we have something like that in the West Island which is rare. However, this cafe is not suitable for students nor for people working with their laptops as the owner keep asking us to sit with strangers to make more space for other customers during the lunch rush hour, while I have been purchasing coffee & food through out the time I spend at the cafe. Also, the wifi is being cut off during the lunch rush hour (11h-13h) & lately the charging outlets have been blocked off, so there's no way I can bring my laptop to work with. I absolutely love their food but the experience doesn't meet the quality of service that Clarke deems to market.

While the food & drinks are good, this cafe is VERY unwelcoming to students & anyone with laptops really. The owner tries to get you out the door as fast as they can, regardless of whether you've just spent 30$ there or not.
They've started closing the charging ports, & the manager keeps asking people to clear out their table during the'rush' period to go join a bunch of strangers on a larger shared table, EVEN if you are ordering lunch too. It feels like you're in a high school cafeteria rather than a cafe you're paying for to sit at a table.
I understand the business side of it, but on the other hand, I promise you this is unfortunately driving away dozens of clients that in turn, discourage all their friends & family from coming here. I don't go there anymore, & neither do so many regulars. It's such a shame considering the limited options in the West Island.
