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 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.
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.
Been a while & finally came out to the new location to have my « sangwhich » fix. The space is bright, lively & inviting. Porchetta sandwich today & it was delicious! Bread was fresh, little crunch when taking a bite & soft through. Good blend of ingredients for a flavourful experience. A cannoli at the end hit spot & was set to head out & brave the cold! Will be back.
Great place to grab a bite for lunch with friends The sandwiches are fresh & delicious! The chicken cutlet sandwich is amazing definitely add bomba, eggplants & sundried tomatoes to your sando
I've been looking for a new sandwich place for quite a while when Google pointed me to this place. What a great find, very tasty italian sandwiches in true Montreal fashion. Taste buds very happy!
I can picture my grandpa sitting here whit his friends, telling stories about life in Italy. It's what a cafe shop should look like ! My espresso was nice , & the nuttela cookies are amazing.
Excellent. Great vibe. Almost feels like a department store cafe & I mean that in the best way. You don't feel overwhelmed. Somehow the food prep is all nice & contained. It almost barely looks like they would serve food. Fast friendly service. Clean & well-lit. They let dogs in. Breakfast sandwich is money. Pastries are great too. Looking forward to coming back for lunch
This is a 3.5 stars for me. Nice spot to grab coffee or have a sandwich with friends. It's dog friendly, I loved seeing the variety of dogs coming in & being welcome. The coffee was pretty good, croissants & sandwich/panini were OK, not my favourites in Montreal but decent. The breakfast sandwich is my least favourite. Pastries were delicious. The space is nice, spacious & clean. A lot of natural light. Restrooms are clean.
