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.
Charming venue & amazing desserts, especially the stuffed dates! Owner & staff are very courteous & friendly, great selection of teas in addition to excellent coffee!

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!
The Spanish condensed milk coffee is delicious, & the cheesecake is rich & creamy, especially with the dark chocolate sauce - flavorful but not overly sweet. The space is spacious with plenty of sofas, & the staff are friendly.

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.
