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.
Great sandwiches, great & friendly service & coffee. I recommend the veggie & the chicken sandwiches! They come with roasted potatoes on the side as well.
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! 🥞 🍵
A great spot for a quick bite or a simple coffee. The owners exude hospitality & warmth. The food is fresh & tasty but could be even better if only the bread which they source was of better quality (why not from next door?). The potatoes aren't really necessary but that is just my opinion...

Much more than just the coffee shop around the corner. It has a nice selection of coffee & tea, matched with a very authentic menu with many delicious dishes to choose from. The bowl smoothies are very good & so are the sandwiches. The service is also great!
