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.
Food was super yummy. We tried the chicken sandwich & omelette sandwich. Also got some salad & potatoes on the side. Everything was delicious & prepared pretty quickly. Coffee was good too.
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!!!!! So delicious, amazing staff! I had room service at the vogue hotel, wasn't edible, & came here instead, so glad I did! Halloumi & egg sandwich is perfect & the almond croissants! Can't wait to come back & try more!
I enjoyed an iced latte & my family had a smoothie bowl & sandwiches. Portions were generous & they looked delicious. Warm & welcoming staff. Older cafe decor & space for one large group & several small groups of two.
My family & I wanted to give this place a try due to its high rating & I DEFINITELY see why it's so high! The Ham & Egg sandwich is phenomenal & the latte was delicious as well 🔥 My family also greatly enjoyed the food & drinks they had as well 🙏 wonderful small cafe that I would HIGHLY recommend 👍

The sous-marins sandwiches were so awesome. The coffee was one of the best I've had. Great vibe. The employees were high energy & hard working-you could tell they were laser focused on customer satisfaction. Would highly recommend this place!
The food here is amazing. The omelette sandwich was the best thing I ate in all of my life I might be exaggerating, but it was just that freaking delicious that I came back & had it the next day. It's quite filling & it comes with a side of seasoned potatoes & as a black person, I have to say everything is seasoned. Oh let's not forget the pancakes are also very delicious. Cottage cheese on pancakes sounds freaking weird to me, but apparently in Canada that's normal because I found it everywhere & now I am a fan, especially with strawberries. I'm regards to Mintar, I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it , I loved it
Great sandwiches, great & friendly service & coffee. I recommend the veggie & the chicken sandwiches! They come with roasted potatoes on the side as well.
C'est à essayer Excellent ratio qualité prix Lieu artistique où l'on expose différents oeuvre artistiques Les sandwichs sont délicieux Les toilettes sont propres On a tout de suite nettoyé après que j'ai quitté donc le service de nettoyage est impeccable !!! J'ai aimé
Such a hidden gem in the middle of downtown Montreal! I came here to study with a friend the cafe is laptop friendly & very accommodating! We also grabbed lunch & their sandwiches are honestly mouth watering!! Would 100% recommend
