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.

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.
Hands down the best Coffee shop in downtown Montreal. The coffee they use is of high quality & for a reasonable price! Also extremely chill spot for studying &/or having a relaxing cup of coffee or lunch with your friends & the people are super friendly. Would definitely recommend.
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.
