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.
My favourite cafe in Montreal!!!!!!! 😃 I often bring my friends here & they all love it. Delicious food, good playlist, good vibes, amazing sofas. I really like the caramel iced latte & the cheesecake with pistachio cream. 10/10 experience. Will come back. 🥰
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.
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 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.
I love this place, it's so cozy & warm. The cheesecake is amazing & i loved the pistachio latte. The baristas are super friendly & this has become my go-to spot now.

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.
I enjoy the Saint Sébastien cheesecake I always order it with pistachio cream & chocolate cream, which makes the taste delicious & extraordinary. We also tried their pistachio latte which was delicious & I always like their homeland tea. I like this place & whenever I cry for cheesecake or Saint Sébastien cheesecake I'll go there.
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!
While strolling the streets of montreal, we stumbled across this super cozy cafe called San Sebastian. We tried the coffee : espresso & americano & the San Sebastian cheesecake with the pistachio & biscoff syrup. Everything right from the taste, the quality & the service was top notch. The cheesecake is super soft & unlike any other that I've ever tried. We paid out second visit in 2 days.

Perfect place, perfect food, perfect staff, what else to say? Went to try their cheesecake, but I don't even think we can call this cheesecake, but this is so wildly superior to any cheesecake I ever had, it's simply something else. Fresh, tasty, generous, loved everything about it. Tried the simple chocolat & pistachio, but delicious.
I had a lovely experience.
I tried their San Sebastian cheesecake with pistachio, & it was absolutely delicious, creamy, rich, with just the right touch of sweetness.
I also ordered a chamomile tea, which was fresh & full of natural flavor.
The ambiance was cozy & welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax & enjoy a treat. Highly recommended!
I had a great experience at San Sebastian Café. The cortado, mocha, & latte were all excellent, but the cheesecake with pistachio sauce, chocolate, & Lotus Biscoff was the star. Delicious & indulgent! A cozy spot with amazing food-highly recommend.
