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!

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.

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.
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.

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.
The cheesecake was delicious, & I loved the flexibility of choosing your own topping. Innovative food design, & lovely cafe interior & atmosphere. Strongly recommend!
Très rare de trouver un endroit similaire à Montréal, café qui sert d'excellents gâteaux San Sebastian, service impeccable, staff souriant, atmosphère chaleureuse, de plus reste ouvert jusqu'à minuit ! Je vous recommande vivement de l'essayer !
This place is quite fun. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is friendly, & there is quite a bit of seating. The food & beverages are pricey, but the hot chocolate I ordered was very good. I recommend San Sebastian Cafe!

Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous ceux qui cherchent une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle. Une adresse à découvrir & à revisiter sans hésiter 💚💚
Amazing San Sebastian/ Basque Cheesecake. Perfect treat for my partners birthday. You can have pitstachio, lotus biscoff or chocolate. It comes in a little wafer ice cream cup to pour. We had the biscoff which was amazing. Highly recommend. Worth it!
My only negative is I think the aesthetic could use an update.
