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.
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.
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

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.
Amazing Syrian coffee shop with delicious pastries / sweets. I had the a cafe latte pistachio with klisha & it was incredible. The ambiance is also cozy & inviting, & the owner is very kind. I will definitely come back here.

The owner is one of the kindest cafe owners you can meet. We showed up right when he opened with a big group of 12 & he was super warm & welcoming. We loved the house cheesecake & his specialty lattes (there were many!)
Cozy & chic vibes, fair price with generous coffee proportion, efficient & friendly service, all freshly homemade dessert! The whole cafe is a full vibe, really like the interior decorative items there. I tried the signature San Sebastián cheese cake, you could choose your own sauce & it will be in the cone, then you pull it in by yourself with the portion you want. The owner is super nice & informative. We shared interesting conversations & ideas. & apologize for delaying his procedure that failed the cake in the oven🥲
Stumbled upon San Sebastian Café on a cold night & so glad we did. The San Sebastian cake with dark chocolate sauce was incredible - rich, not overly sweet, just perfect. They have great decaf options too. The interior & ambience are beautiful. The staff was very sweet & welcoming. A perfect end to the evening. Highly recommend.
The cafe is beautiful & a really nice place to sit & work, study, or spend time with friends. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting. However, I wasn't very impressed with the food. I tried their famous cheesecake with pistachio sauce, & it was too sweet for my taste. The cheesecake was also quite expensive, so overall it just wasn't for me.
My friend & I walked into San Sebastián Café by pure chance, & it turned out to be one of the best surprises of the day. We were simply looking for a place to sit, but instead we found an absolutely delicious cheesecake that felt like a little piece of heaven. The texture was creamy, the flavor perfectly balanced-not too sweet, not too heavy-& the presentation was beautiful.
The ambiance of the café made the experience even better. Warm lighting, cozy seating, & a relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The staff were genuinely friendly & welcoming, which added to the charm of the place.
If you're in Montréal & craving a good dessert or just a cozy spot to unwind, San Sebastián Café is definitely worth a visit. A delightful find & a new favorite!
Honestly the place is 10x better than how it looks in the photos. The cakes are really tasty, & the hot syrups make it an interesting new experience to enjoy the cakes!
Very good experience :)
A nice & happy cafe to meet friends & chat.
