Mintar is described as a cozy, welcoming cafe with a warm vibe and a small, busy space that often feels intimate yet lively. The coffee program gets plenty of praise for variety, with cappuccino, latte, cortado and non-dairy options frequently highlighted, and some reviews noting thoughtful preparation and friendly service. The menu is celebrated for pancakes, especially cottage cheese pancakes, pistachio croissant, and egg and halloumi sandwiches, along with hearty breakfast options, smoothies and bowls; many mention the sandwiches and pancakes as standout, and some note careful halal prep with separate boards. While the atmosphere is repeatedly described as charming and the staff as helpful, some critiques point to occasional flaws such as burnt or bitter coffee, overly foamy or bubbly drinks, soggy or oily sides, and dishes that are good but not exceptional, plus seating is limited and the space can be noisy. Overall Mintar emerges as a beloved breakfast and coffee spot with a loyal following, praised for its cosy ambience, strong coffee and tasty pastries, and recommended for casual mornings and study sessions, while acknowledging room for consistency and comfort in seating and some menu items.
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.
I always come here for coffee & a late breakfast. The croissant with eggs & is very delicious, & the pancake is amazing! Also, the quality of coffee here is excellent, one of the best in the downtown area with very good prices.
Was lucky to find this place on day two of a week long trip. Visited every morning until I left, it was the best way to start each day. Coffee is fresh & strong, breakfast sandwiches are delicious, & the staff are kind & attentive. This place is a gem.
