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.
Considerate & professional service. Great coffee & excellent food (I had the cottage cheese pancakes & the smoothie bowl on another day). You can't go wrong coming here!

From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh coffee hits you, & you immediately know you're in for a great experience. Their coffee is rich, smooth, & flavorful, perfect whether you're grabbing something quick on the go or sitting down to sip & relax.
The food is just as impressive. Mintar offers a wide variety of breakfast options, including omelettes, sandwiches, fruit dishes, & smoothies. Everything tastes fresh, well-prepared, & satisfying. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a healthy bite or indulge in a comforting breakfast, depending on what you're craving.
Even though the shop is small, the atmosphere is warm & welcoming, & the staff are always friendly & attentive. Their great service makes the experience even better.

Mintar is a somewhat hidden gem in this area. Perfect matcha latte & hazelnut latte drinks to go with beautiful & tasty smoothie bowls & delicious omelette sandwiches served with a side of seasoned potatoes were exactly what we didn't know we needed but really enjoyed! Service is friendly & atmosphere is cute & relaxing. This is a great place to take a break & recharge, study or work if you have to while enjoying some food or drink. They have smoothies too. We would enjoy a return visit!
I had there strawberry banana smoothie bowl here & it was out of this world good. I also had their Cappuccino which was pretty decent. For dessert I this thing that looks like a cannoli but has Nutella in them & they are way better.
Oh my goodness me!!! I had the L'ouef Halloumi & iced Macha latte & it was amazing, hats off to the chef. Donna is so kind & sweet, even when I asked for more potatoes & hot sauce 😁. As someone who is in Montreal for the first time, what a lovely experience. The cafe is super intimate & so cute :) I will be back tomorrow morning for the smoothie bowl 😊

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.
