Les avis sur Clarke Café présentent un endroit accueillant avec un café de grande qualité et des sandwichs frais et copieux, en particulier les options poulet pané et porchetta, accompagnés de desserts savoureux et d'un bon rapport qualité prix; l'atmosphère est agréable pour travailler ou discuter entre amis et l'emporter est pratique dans cet emplacement de l'Ouest de l'île, bien que certaines boissons soient décevantes (un moka parfois froid et le lait mal monté) et que le midi puisse être bondé avec peu de places assises, avec quelques soucis de service ponctuels comme des retards ou des commandes incorrectes, mais le personnel est généralement courtois et réactif et l'accent reste mis sur des ingrédients de qualité.
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.
For Sasha, Aprille, & anyone else who feels that cafes are their personal living rooms...
Clarke Cafe is a restaurant & a cafe. Anyone taking up space for hours with a single $6 latte, where that table might normally be used at lunchtime for $50+ of business for food & drinks for two people, is an entitled brat.
Yes, they've had to make adjustments based on the sheer number of students taking up hours of space for a single drink. It's not ideal for some people, because it doesn't feel comfortable paying a drink & then being asked to move. But the owner is very polite, a good guy who takes great care of his customers.
But he has a business to run.
Between say 11:30am & 2:00pm, his lunch customers also deserve a place to sit & eat. If you owned a business like this, you wouldn't want to see people walking in for lunch, see an army of laptops & no open tables, & walk out the door. This is what's happening, & he needs to be able to balance your right as a customer with his right to make money on his business.
Anyway, long rant over. Clarke Cafe is a great spot for coffee, food, vibes. Staff is great, customers are great, all of it. You just can't park yourself there for 3-5 hours, especially over lunch, while customers wanting to eat & spend 4-5X what you're spending.

The cafe is decorated very nicely. My double espresso & pistachio croissant were super good. The other drinks were really poorly done though. The moka was cold & the milk was not steamed properly nor was the cortado. I recommend either choosing an iced drink or just a plain espresso to avoid this. Sandwiches were fresh & good portion!
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
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!
The most perfect cafe I could wish for. Great drinks, great food options, amazing service. Lovely atmosphere especially during the christmas time. Love coming here all the time. The sandwiches are very filling & delicious!
