San Sebastian cafe presents a warm, cozy, spacious feel with modern yet comfortable décor and plenty of seating for working, studying or meeting friends late into the night. Reviews praise a broad drinks menu from espresso to lattes and specialty coffees, along with a signature San Sebastian cheesecake available with pistachio, chocolate or lotus biscoff toppings that many call creamy and indulgent though some note it can be very sweet or pricey. The atmosphere is described as friendly and welcoming, with helpful staff and a vibe that suits both focused work and relaxed conversation. A few observations point to cleanliness issues in the floors or restrooms and occasional slower service during busy periods. Overall the cafe is seen as a standout dessert spot in Montreal, highly recommended for the cheesecake, hot chocolate and the inviting ambience, and many say they would return with friends to enjoy the desserts, drinks and comfortable space.
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.

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!

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!

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.
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!

Good latte both taste wise & latte art wise. They were serving my order a little bit late which is totally ok given how busy they were. But they even gave me one chocolate for free as a sorry, which is so sweet & cute. Definitely recommend this place. Btw they also have a patio perfect for people who just want to grab a coffee & chill there!
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!
