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.
One of the few cafés in Montréal that's still open late at night, which already makes it stand out. The coffee tasted fresh & strong, & the iced coffee was especially good, definitely recommend trying it. Nice atmosphere to relax or work late. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Easily one of the best Cappuccinos i've ever had. Amazing service, cozy lil' place, & top quality coffee! It was my first time going there & i will definitely go again.
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! 👏👏
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.

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.
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.

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🥲
Tried cheesecake with the pistachio cream on top, it was delicious! The cake was fresh, & the coffee & black tea were excellent too.
Definitely coming back to try other toppings next time!
Such a wonderful cafe! Amazing hot drinks including a variety of teas, Syrian coffee, & even Yerba Maté, & their famous cheesecake made honey! & the staff? Oh, the best!!! Don't miss it!
