Review Summary

Clarke Café is described as a solid go-to for hearty sandwiches, with generous fillings and well balanced flavors, and a strong emphasis on quality bread, especially for chicken cutlet and porchetta options, plus tasty pastries and reliable coffee. Reviewers value the variety and customizable ingredients, noting large portions and good value, with the sandwiches commonly cited as the main draw. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with a simple stylish interior that can get busy in the mornings and on weekends. While the overall impression is positive, several accounts point to inconsistency in recent visits, including missing fillings, slow or distracted service, and occasional order errors. Some mentions of language or customer service frictions exist, but many encounters are described as friendly and efficient when things run smoothly. Taken together, Clarke Café appears to be a dependable spot for a substantial lunch or coffee break with strong sandwiches and desserts, alongside a comforting vibe that encourages repeat visits despite occasional hiccups.

I tried all other places in montreal & this place is one of the best I ever had amazing quality & authentic taste

We went on a Saturday & still found a place to sit. The sandwiches are really good. They are simple but the products used are of top quality which is what makes them unique. They are priced decently as well with good portions.

The best thing though was service. I was ordering in French for the first time & the server understood that & was super patient & helpful. The atmosphere was also very calm & friendly. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely pay a visit.

Dec 2025 update:
Coffee is here is trash & I waited 15 min for a breakfast sandwich (human error by dude in the kitchen)
I won't be going back.
Also, BOSSA sandwiches are superior IMO

The bread used for the panini is particularly good. The porchetta & chicken cutlet are my favorites. Price for portion is solid & the toppings are quality. Good service & nice interior. Love stopping here omw home before getting in the metro to bring home a panino for dinner.

Delicious sandwiches! They have a ton of choices but the base ingredients stay the same (mayo, lettuce, tomatoes) & you get 2 ingredients you can customize. The Frank way is what the owner would say is best to get with the particular sandwich you pick (a fun surprise!).

I think their crispy chicken is so flavourful. The sandwich is also massive so you get quality & quantity. Lots of seating available.

I have been a regular at Clarke for years. I live right around the corner & go once or twice a week. Good quality, price, service…However, the last few times I've been, the service has been so poor. No hi no bye no thank you. They look like you're bothering them. They charged me double the other day & the cashier looked annoyed when I told them. No sorry or anything. Sad & disappointing.

Quality & service has definitely gone down since the move. Really unfortunate because this was easily my favorite sandwich place in the city.

Coffee was amazing & sandwiches & croissants. I even didn't take a photo as I was busy eating it! The team is amazing too! They do everything in a high quality. I will definitely be back.

2nd update: my sandwich wasn't so great this time, one part of the chicken cutlet was ok the other was severely overcooked & chewy. Kinda sad as the sandwich before was amazing even tho it's kinda expensive Update: service is faster now, some women work there now, sandwiches are fantastic. Coffee/espresso is still the best I've tasted in North America so far! Old review: Very slow, kinda off-putting service but DAMN what a good tasting cup of coffee. I'm not even a coffee connaseur but it's got great flavour. A little pricy but worth the quality, better than a St*rbuks. Hipster bro vibes, for better or worse 😬
