Mintar consistently earns praise for its warm, welcoming staff, cozy atmosphere, and standout coffee and food, with cottage cheese pancakes, a pistachio croissant, and a range of breakfast and sandwich options highlighted as must-tries; reviews note careful preparation, genuine care in every detail, and a menu that also considers halal options, making it a reliable go-to for mornings with friends or a quick bite before a study session. While the coffee and drinks like cardamom latte and cappuccino are frequently praised, a few visits mention burnt or over-extracted espresso and drinks that are a touch too milky, and some describe tight seating and occasional noise; nonetheless, service remains friendly and attentive and staff take pride in their craft. The cafe is repeatedly described as a hidden gem in Montreal, a warm, affordable spot for breakfast, lunch, and casual meetups where guests feel at home and return for the overall experience.
Mintar Café Inc became my go-to spot for breakfast in Montreal. I loved it so much that I went back twice! The service was excellent, & both times I visited, it was busy, which is always a good sign. It's not just tourists; even locals come here for breakfast. I had a steak that was a little spicy, but I really enjoyed it, & the Americano was perfect. It's a great place with wonderful service, & I highly recommend it.
Quaint coffee shop that serves amazing breakfast items! My friend ordered the cottage cheese pancakes & they were delicious! I ordered the omelette sandwich & the portion was quite generous! Only downside was that the side of potatoes tasted under seasoned. Def a hidden gem!

Cute cosy cafe with good coffee & tasty breakfast. We had two sous-marins (sub sandwich, one chicken & one veggie), iced latte, iced americano, almond croissant & Nutella horn. (We ordered more than two person portion.) Only high tables & bar style tables downstairs & big one table on the (half) upstairs, but we liked the vibe. Employees were friendly & nice as well! Would like to visit again.

Believe it or not, we came here 3 times in 4 days when we were staying in Montreal for breakfast. My son loved it so much! & each time it was so yummy regardless of what we ordered.

Super cute little cafe with great coffee & incredible breakfast sandwiches. Staff was also very friendly & everyone seemed happy to be working there which I think is valuable. We will definitely be coming back during our stay here.
Amazing food, spectacular drinks & astounding service! If you're looking for a place to get an amazing breakfast or coffee, you can't go wrong with Mintar. If you don't want to explore their menu, I loved the matcha latte & cottage cheese pancakes! 🥞 🍵
The people working there were so kind & patient while we took so long to choose & edit our meal, the food was so so good, absolutely delicious, the breakfast sandwiches were the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was nice they played good music.
Found this cozy coffee shop close to our hotel & it was a fantastic experience! Their lattes, especially with Oatly oat milk, were some of the best I've ever had. The smoothie bowls were equally delicious, & the service was friendly & quick. Loved the cozy & inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick & healthy breakfast.
