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.
My favourite cafe in Montreal!!!!!!! 😃 I often bring my friends here & they all love it. Delicious food, good playlist, good vibes, amazing sofas. I really like the caramel iced latte & the cheesecake with pistachio cream. 10/10 experience. Will come back. 🥰

Everything good so 5 stars . But one thing: I've noticed the portions are getting smaller each time especially when it's for take out . Please be careful.
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.

Easily one of the best Cappuccinos i've ever had. Amazing service, cozy lil' place, & top quality coffee! It was my first time going there & i will definitely go again.
Everything was wonderful, the bartista was diligent, clean & very knowledgeable. Both of his lattes looked as good as they tasted. I regret not getting dessert, but there is always next time!

Places that serve Basque cheesecake are rare, so I appreciate this place. However, while the cheesecake was not terrible, better could easily be found elsewhere (regardless of the type of cheesecake). It was pretty tasteless in my opinion, but the texture wasn't bad at least, it was creamy. I personally would not try this cheesecake again unfortunately.
The cafe is cosy the owner is nice & the service is good. Normally I order a cappuccino & it doesnt take that long. I read a comment asking why there is a big Syrian flag & honesly why not having one if the cafe is syrian owned! If that flag was an LGBTQ one no one would be annoyed. I dont understand why ppl always need to find something to hate on. I personally had a good experience & never was uncomfortable everyone was welcomed. So sad to hear ppl complaining about the flag.
