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.
I ve heard good things about this place so I tried a few times for coffee. Unfortunately I was always disappointed by their cappuccino. Each time it was bad to the point I couldn't drink it. Maybe they just don't know how to make it with oat milk but I had to throw it away, which is very frustrating for a 6$ coffee… I won't be back for coffee.
My favorite turkey sandwich!!! My go to lunch. Turkey all dressed with marinated peppers, eggplant & bomba. Fresh bread. Huge too. I always eat half & save the rest! Delicious every time!!!
I recently visited Clarke Café (PSC), located at 1207 Rue Shearer, Montréal, QC H3K 1H8, & it's a pretty cool spot! 😎 The place is unassuming, with a simple & laconic (minimalist) interior, but it feels welcoming. It has a good number of tables for its size, which is convenient. 🛋? tables
What really stands out is the food! They offer a large selection of sandwiches, various baked goods, & all sorts of other tasty treats. 🥪🍰 You won't be short on delicious options here! The coffee is also really good - strong & aromatic, just how I like it. ☕👃
&, as a bonus, there are lots of beautiful staff members! 😉 It adds to the pleasant atmosphere.
I definitely recommend checking out Clarke Café (PSC) if you're in the area looking for good coffee & a great selection of food in a relaxed setting!
The girls working were so sweet & helpful, the sandwich was delicious & huge for the price, the connoli was so yummy, & i always appreciate somewhere with a water tap cus I drink so much water. I will be back !
One of the best sandwiches of my life. 2 days after eating this sandwich & I'm still thinking about it.
Next time, I will buy two. I can only eat 1/2 (at best, they're huge). I want two so that my relationship with the chicken cutlet sandwich can be extended beyond a single day.
Had planned to take better photos. But, of course didn't have time.
WOW! Les sandwichs sont à rêver. Le poulet panné sandwich est super bon. Les sandwich sont d'une grosseur très généreuse. Beaucoup de place à l'intérieur.
I called in an order, & when I got there paid at the counter, gave a solid tip, & then proceeded to wait for 25min while everybody that was ordering after me was getting their order. The lady at the cash was just looking at me not wondering why my order wasn't coming.
Finally they realized the order had been ready for 20min & I got a quick oh sorry. Sandwich was frozen by the time I got home.
Place is good, but lack of awareness by certain staff.
Je suis un client fréquent de l'endroit, aujourd'hui j'ai acheté un sandwich comme d'habitude ma commande, un latte & un sandwich.
Malheureusement, le service n'était pas bon comme les fois précédentes, j'ai commandé des poivrons forts & ils ne les ont pas ajoutés, la laitue est difficile à manger lorsqu'elle est présentée comme on le voit sur la photo.
J'espère que vous pourrez tenir compte de mes remarques, je pense vraiment que c'est un bon endroit. Mais aujourd'hui c'était très mauvais :(
Excellent Porchetta sandwiches! Crunchy ciabatta & plenty of thick sliced porchetta. Great for a hungry person. Quick friendly service, good prices. Tight for tables though.

Sandwich déjeuner, Incroyablement bon , j'ai malheureusement pas eu le temps de le prendre en photo qu'il était déjà mangé ! Belle endroit calme & détendu, très bon service & rapidité.
Si je travail à nouveau dans le secteur c'est assurer que je fait le détour pour un café & un sandwich
Nice vibes but sandwiches were not as WOW as I would have thought. Grilled chicken was pretty dry, but loved the veggies inside. Expections were high given their google ratings.
