Overall, San Sebastian Cafe is described as a cozy spot with a variety of seating that makes it ideal for studying, working, or chatting with friends. The cheesecake, often with pistachio or biscoff toppings, and the coffee are highlighted as standout treats, though some reviews note price and occasional service delays. The vibe is friendly and relaxed, inviting long visits, with many praising the staff and the comfortable atmosphere while a few mentions point to cleanliness or cost as caveats.
Very cozy, with a variety of different seating options, it's perfect for both studying/working & chatting with friends. We ordered the cheesecake & it did not disappoint! Additionally, the matcha latte was very well made & tasted excellent (coming from a matcha connoisseur).
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! 👏👏
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.
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.

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.
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🥲
The cheesecake was good with the pistachio sauce although a bit expensive. It was 18$ with a cup of tea.
However the staff was really nice & the ambiance was good too.
They even had games & books available!
Good place to study, work or just spend a good time with friends.
