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.
I loved this place. The cashier took her time explaining the menu to me & giving me recommendations. The sandwiches & coffees are good ! Definitely check this place out !
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.
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.
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!
Great sandwiches, great & friendly service & coffee. I recommend the veggie & the chicken sandwiches! They come with roasted potatoes on the side as well.
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
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!
