San Sebastian cafe presents a warm, cozy, spacious feel with modern yet comfortable décor and plenty of seating for working, studying or meeting friends late into the night. Reviews praise a broad drinks menu from espresso to lattes and specialty coffees, along with a signature San Sebastian cheesecake available with pistachio, chocolate or lotus biscoff toppings that many call creamy and indulgent though some note it can be very sweet or pricey. The atmosphere is described as friendly and welcoming, with helpful staff and a vibe that suits both focused work and relaxed conversation. A few observations point to cleanliness issues in the floors or restrooms and occasional slower service during busy periods. Overall the cafe is seen as a standout dessert spot in Montreal, highly recommended for the cheesecake, hot chocolate and the inviting ambience, and many say they would return with friends to enjoy the desserts, drinks and comfortable space.
Loved it! What an incredible experience. The coffee was delicious, mango smoothie was amazing, the desserts were fantastic, (cheesecake highly recommended) & the wonderful servers, wow! Thank you for the great time! 👏👏
Café sympathique dans le centre, offrant boissons & gâteaux.
Le fameux cheesecake est bon mais cher pour ce qu'il est. Servis avec un nappage il n'en reste pas moins correct.
Les boissons sont diversifiées & bien réalisées.
Le gâteau au fromage est excellent & le service est toujours impeccable, la personne au comptoir est tellement souriante. C'est un plaisir d'y revenir.
Amazing experience! The cheesecake was soft & tender, & not too heavy! We combined it with the milk chocolate & surprisingly it wasn't overwhelming. The coffee is superb as well! I highly recommend if you're looking for a chill vibe & great cheesecake.

I wanted to like this place. The vibe is nice. Coffee is expensive & my goodness it took forever to get a simple cappuccino. I will gladly try this place again some time but until then, I suggest the company work to make service better. No one in front of me coffee took 25 minutes.
Le matcha est bon & il ma demander comment j'aimais le matcha ce que j'ai apprécié car c'est pas tous qui le demandent. Le service est normal mais le monsieur avait l'air super amical & souriant.
It so adorable, lots of different comfy seating options. the little vintage couch is so soft & comfortable i could sleep on it. the grilled cheese was SO incredibly mid but the hot chocolate is BOMB
I found San Sebastian Cafe by chance. It was a very nice surprise. We tried the cheesecake & it was really delicious. The texture was very creamy & the taste was well balanced.
If you want a good dessert or a cozy place to relax this cafe is a great choice. It was a lovely discovery for me. Next time I will definitely come back here with my wife.
Café cozy près du centre ville, heures d'ouverture impressionnante
7 Jours sur 7 de ( 11h a.m - 3h a.m )
Possibilités de plusieurs choses à manger & énormément de boissons. Cafés : Espresso, Latte, Spanish latte, Cortado, Mocha… mais aussi plusieurs spécialités unique à cet endroit.
San sebastian café compte plusieurs place (chaises, sofas, tables)
Ce sont beaucoup d'espaces adaptés au working flow.
C'est moderne & peu de points sont à souligner.
Le seul défaut que j'ai pu trouver était la propreté des plancher ainsi que les tapis mais c'est excusable due à la saison que nous traversons.
Certainement un bin endroit oû terminer vos soirée entre amis ou tout simplement pour prendre un café tard le soir.
Cute & comfortable. Latté was 7$ approx. San Sebastián cake is 8.99$ & then you're charged 1$ extra if you want a topping & 1.50$ if you choose pistachio from among them. Cake slice is small & its gooey. The Texture is nice but it leans more on the salty than sweet.
