Review Summary

Overall, San Sebastian cafe is praised for its silky San Sebastian cheesecake and a variety of toppings, with pistachio, biscoff and chocolate sauces drawing frequent compliments, and for tasty coffee, hot chocolate and tea that many find pleasantly rich. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as cozy, warm and conducive to study or relaxing with friends, and staff are noted as friendly and attentive. However, several reviews flag cleanliness problems, including dirty bathrooms and dusty floors, and some say the space can feel crowded or cramped, especially when people linger with laptops. Price is another common concern, with the cheesecake seen as expensive and portions sometimes judged small, and a few tasters feel the Basque style center is not as gooey as expected or that sweeter toppings push sweetness over the edge. Despite these caveats, many readers call it a must try and a hidden gem, often planning returns to sample different toppings and drink options.

Spent 3 days in Montreal. Came to this Cafe at least twice a day. Amazing people work there, & the coffee & cheesecake is amazing.

Also I found your keys still in the door in the morning. I took them out & brought to Pharmacafe. Lol....take care

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.

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.

Love their cheese cake & sauces, I do uber eats all the time 😍

Cheesecake was okay, however, a bit bland & bitter without sauce. Also, consider the price. One slice costs $8.99 & any sauce costs $0.99 extra. Paid a total of $17 for one slice & a small pot of tea. Service was quite slow & not a lot of space to sit as people stay hours with their laptops. Also, why does there need to be a BIG flag of Syria in the window?
