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.

3.0

Was given a weird look when asked for a cappuccino with cream(a no would've sufficed, why the glare). & apparently I can't have the coffee at a table, since they close in an hour. Although it would've taken a mere 10 minutes to finish my coffee? Decent coffee, but very unwelcoming environment

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.
