Drop in to meet Frank and the Clarke crew. Have a coffee. Buy a sandwich. Walk out with the quiet confidence of knowing that personal service and family-run businesses are alive and well. And here to feed you.
Clarke Café is described as a beloved local spot in Montreal, known for generous, well made sandwiches, a strong coffee program, and tasty desserts, all served in a calm, friendly environment that often feels welcoming to regulars and first timers alike. The bread, fillings, and house sauces are frequently praised for quality and value, with many noting quick, efficient service and a relaxed vibe, though some visits report missteps such as missing ingredients, slower to go prep, or portions that feel inconsistent, and a few reviews mention indifferent or hurried service. The cafe is often recommended for meals, coffee, and catering, appreciated for its variety and generous portions, and while it remains a go-to for many, a minority of experiences highlight room for improvement in consistency and attentiveness.
Service is great, but I'm disappointed that there is only one vegetarian sandwich option. I work nearby & can't bring myself to come more than once every couple weeks at most since I need a little variety in life.
A simple Caprese sandwich would go a long way.
One of my favorite sandwhich shops in montreal. The cutlet sandwiches is one of the best Ive tried. Never disappoints. Fresh bread, fresh ingredients. A must try ! Great spot to grab a coffee &/or to grab a sandwhich.
By far the best coffee shop in Montreal !
Latte is very good, the chicken cutlet sandwich is very tasty, the staff is friendly…
I contacted them for a last minute catering order & they delivered within hours!
Thanks Frank & the team!
J'ai commandé un café latté & un tiramisu à emporter, j'ai donné des tips avant même d'avoir ma commande , la fille m'a donné le verre de café entre ouvert n'a même pas bien fermé elle m'a dit sers toi des manchons isolant (je sais pas pk on tip si on se sert nous meme )& parti j'ai pris le verre & la la surprise tt est renversé sur moi café chaud !

Chui retourner dans mon bureau mouillé avec du café pour passé des rdv jusqu'à 20h 🙂 comme si j'ai donné 12dollars & sorti ! Fille blonde jeudi à 16:15🙃sa sert a rien si on a de bon trucs mais un service 0 ! Dire bonjour & souriez c pas un service
This place is very clean & has large windows, feels perfect to grab a coffee or a lunch. Which I had a few times myself & I've never been disappointed! Tasty coffee, large sandwiches with a variety to chose from. I will go back again & again.

I usually only review places that serve Caesar Salad. But this place was recommended to me by a dear friend & my god this is literally the best sandwich I've ever had. & I've had a lot of sandwiches. If Clarke Cafe is Michael Jordan. Then Subway is a small child bouncing a football.
Clark Café in the West Island is an absolute gem. The food is consistently delicious, with that perfect balance of comfort & quality that keeps you coming back. What really stands out is the fast, efficient service-perfect when you want to be in & out for a quick, satisfying lunch. It's a great spot when you're short on time but still want something genuinely tasty. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fast & delicious meal.
Tried Clarke Café & it did not disappoint! I had the grilled chicken sandwich with Bomba sauce; just the right amount of kick without being overpowering. Everything tasted super fresh, & the bread was honestly amazing. The atmosphere was great too, very lively & welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!
