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.
The people working there were so kind & patient while we took so long to choose & edit our meal, the food was so so good, absolutely delicious, the breakfast sandwiches were the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was nice they played good music.
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!

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!!!
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.
The service here is excellent. The two guys at the counter were very friendly, attentive & helpful - the croissant sandwiches were the perfect suggestion, so tasty! Excellent lattes as well. Highly recommended!
