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.
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.
Tasted the cake which was amazing. Stuff was not that welcoming. Only one of them was struggling with the order other one was just standing. Good for nothing. Anyway must try the cake. Price reasonable.
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 owner is one of the kindest cafe owners you can meet. We showed up right when he opened with a big group of 12 & he was super warm & welcoming. We loved the house cheesecake & his specialty lattes (there were many!)
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🥲
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.
Je suis déjà venue ici à deux reprises.
En ce qui concerne la nourriture & les boissons, tout est bon & savoureux.
Cependant, en ce qui concerne la propreté, c'est inacceptable.
Les toilettes ne sont pas nettoyées du tout : une épaisse couche de poussière, du papier toilette éparpillé partout. C'est vraiment impossible.
De plus, il y a beaucoup de petits cailloux provenant de l'extérieur sous les tables, qui n'ont manifestement pas été nettoyés depuis longtemps.
Je vous prie de bien vouloir faire quelque chose à ce sujet.
