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.

Owner keeps moving customers around during lunch, after we waited for a table, ordered & sat. Laptops not welcome at any time since plugs have been closed & owner insists to move you & put other customers in your place even if you need the only one left open to charge & will seat you with strangers on a shared table with no plug. I explained my battery needs to be plugged at all time to work & was told it wasn't really their problem, but somehow it was mine to move & prioritize other customers, regardless how much we order because my table had the minimum of 2 chairs & the second one wasn't being utilized (anymore, a friend was there & left). It was honestly not good for business as an approach. Everyone spoken to was turned off. The two customers you would get by moving those already seated often don't order more than a single person seated, who keeps ordering as they work. However if you feel the business really would benefit from that tradeoff, I suggest stickers on the tables you want no laptops on during lunch hours saying no laptops (11:30-1:30) on the tables of your choice & to reopen plugs if you want customers with laptops to actually believe they're welcome at other hours of the day. Otherwise, you're losing an entire group of customers who always go to cafes to work. It's not a library, strangers often don't want to share a table.
If it is acceptable, then people without laptops should be open to share their tables too. It is a very unpleasant experience to be asked to prioritize other customers when you were there first, & told it isn't their business if you need to charge. That's not how you speak to customers. The cafe is cute, it's a shame how many people this happened to.

YOU CANNOT STUDY HERE BETWEEN 11h-14h30!!!
I love the food here & decided to grab a sandwich & study but I ended up realizing the wifi for clients wasn't popping up so I asked the staff & they said that the owner TURNS OFF THE WIFI between 11h-14h30 because it is considered rush hour to avoid people staying too long.
All to say, wish I knew that before spending 30$ on a coffee & sandwich with a 20% tip...
That being said, staff is friendly & the sandwiches are good. Coffee is okay.

Used to go to Clarke's original location back in day! So happy to see their new location. The price quality of their sandwiches is still very high.
