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.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Sab Sebastian Cafe! We ordered their famous San Sebastian cake, & it was baked to perfection-beautifully caramelized on the outside & perfectly rich & creamy on the inside.
To take it to the next level, we paired it with both the Biscoff sauce & the milk chocolate sauce. The combination was heavenly. The warm, rich milk chocolate & the sweet, spiced Biscoff perfectly complemented the cheesecake without overpowering it.
If you are craving an incredible dessert, I highly recommend stopping by. We will definitely be coming back for more!

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.

Absolutely LOVED!! this place. Visiting from outside the city. Great cheese cake not at all too sweet & I had it paired with biscoff topping & it was perfect not at all too sweet & went well together.

The atmosphere was super chill, warm & relaxing. We got the steeped tea to accompany the dessert & it was great.

Would definitely return in future & would recommend to anyone looking for a good relaxing warms dessert location in Montreal.

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!

Cozy little dessert/cafe spot with excellent cheesecake! Really a cool little gem.

Try a few of the toppings for like $1 each. They even have some board games & stuff.

San Sebastian Cafe is an absolute treasure in Montreal! From the cozy, inviting atmosphere to the exceptionally friendly staff, every visit feels special. Their San Sebastian cheesecake is out of this world: creamy, perfectly caramelized, & unforgettable. The coffee & mint tea are equally impressive, rich & full of flavor.
Whether you're here to work, relax, or indulge in a sweet treat, this café hits every mark. Every detail, from the warm vibe to the exquisite desserts, is flawless. San Sebastian Cafe is not just a café, it's a must-visit experience in Montreal!

The place is cute & cozy, desserts are really chef kiss, even though I'm not a big fan of cheesecakes it was just perfect! I would love my chai latte to have more creamy & sweet taste but generally I enjoyed it a lot! Highly recommended!

An Irresistible Indulgence

The San Sebastian cheesecake is not just a dessert-it's a moment of pure bliss. With its signature caramelized top & rich, creamy texture, it effortlessly commands attention & admiration from the very first glance.

Each slice delivers an experience that is both luxurious & comforting. Its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency is elevated by a perfectly balanced composition that feels both indulgent & refined. This isn't your average cheesecake-it's a work of culinary artistry that speaks to craftsmanship, passion, & a love for the extraordinary.

Adorned with thoughtful touches that enhance its already decadent profile, it promises to leave a lasting impression with every bite. It's the kind of dessert that turns a simple gathering into a celebration, a quiet moment into something unforgettable.

Treat yourself-you deserve to know what perfection tastes like.

If your favorite dessert is San Sebastian & you love high quality chocolate🍫, then this place is for you. 🤎

The quantity & quality for the price is perfect. I expected it to be good, but this was beyond my expectations! It's rare to find an authentic dessert with a price tag thats below 10$. The hot chocolate was really good except for the cinnamon that was powdered on top of it, so if you dont like cinnamon make sure to tell them to not sprinkle it on your hot chocolate ☕?

The service was quick, & the staff were kind & attentive.

Note: I would recommend you to share the piece with someone else as it is extremely filling & I couldn't finish it.
