Overall, San Sebastian cafe is praised for its silky San Sebastian cheesecake and a variety of toppings, with pistachio, biscoff and chocolate sauces drawing frequent compliments, and for tasty coffee, hot chocolate and tea that many find pleasantly rich. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as cozy, warm and conducive to study or relaxing with friends, and staff are noted as friendly and attentive. However, several reviews flag cleanliness problems, including dirty bathrooms and dusty floors, and some say the space can feel crowded or cramped, especially when people linger with laptops. Price is another common concern, with the cheesecake seen as expensive and portions sometimes judged small, and a few tasters feel the Basque style center is not as gooey as expected or that sweeter toppings push sweetness over the edge. Despite these caveats, many readers call it a must try and a hidden gem, often planning returns to sample different toppings and drink options.View restaurant profile
