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 stands out as my top choice among coffee shops in Montreal. The exceptional staff radiates warmth & hospitality, while the culinary offerings surpass expectations with their sheer excellence. This establishment provides an ideal atmosphere for extended study sessions, fostering productivity & comfort. Mintar continually impresses with its innovative menu, ensuring a delightful experience with every visit. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mintar for a spectacular cafe experience.

Great place. It's a nice little cozy cafe with super kind workers. The food is great, tasty, homey & healthy. The ambience is calm & comfortable. Would totally recommend & can't wait till my next visit to Montreal to come again
Everyone who works here is SO lovely. Genuinely some of the kindest people I have ever met. Would recommend anything from here. I usually get the chai latte (amazing) & the ham & egg sandwich. My favorite cafe in Montreal!!!
Love this cafe - the space has always been beautiful, but the new owners have done a wonderful job of introducing more food into the menu & maintaining the quality of the coffee served. They're hospitable owners & were exceedingly accommodating of our large group reservation, it went very smoothly. Good food, great coffee, & interesting ambiance - can't ask for anything more.
One of my fav cafés in the neighbourhood! The food is sooo delicious & fresh, don't even get me started on their chai latte🤤 The owners are super sweet as well as their staff! Lovely spot :)
Un des meilleurs cafés que j'ai bu depuis longtemps. Le smoothie bowl était délicieux & même chose pour les viennoiseries. Par contre le service était correct sans plus. La caissière me fait payer ma facture pour par la suite me demander quelle sorte de lait je veux dans mon cappuccino. Lorsque je lui répond lait d'avoine elle me lâche un petit commentaire « une chance que le lait d'avoine ce n'est pas un extra » Ce n'était pas nécessaire d'autant plus qu'elle n'avait qu'à poser la question avant de me faire paye
I have no idea why I haven't heard of this place before. Every time I have ordered a sandwich in a cafe it was premade. They grilled the chicken & toasted the bread in front of me everything was fresh. I love smoothies & usually they're made with frozen fruits. This was my first time getting a smoothie that was just fresh fruit blended up. IT WAS 6$ for a FRESH fruit smoothie IN THE WINTER. That's the same price as the frozen garbage that I can't go back to anymore. I'm really impressed.
Super bon café & excellent service!
Sandwichs : bonnes garnitures mais pain sous-marin pas très bon. Un pain de meilleure qualité ferait toute la différence.
