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.
Great strong coffee, heavenly cottage cheese pancakes. I love this place so much. Everyone there were friendly & pleasant, thank you for entertaining my 3 year old while I sorted out the stroller & things! The cottage cheese pancakes were beautifully done, slightly crisp around the edges, lovely golden colour, generous bits of cheese, really great fluffy texture vs creaminess of the cheese. I will be very sad when I leave mtl cuz i don't think there's anything like this anywhere else. Will definitely be back for more! The coffee was strong & reminded me of the great ones I had in Melbourne. I hope this business will forever be here as we might frequent mtl for my husband's work trips. Thank you for the great food & hospitality!!
Go-to cafe in Montreal. Perfect place to study with the best food, coffee & treats. You NEED to go here. Also the staff is remarkable; always attentive & never fail to make you feel welcome
Had to come back multiple times during our long-weekend stay in Montreal. The staff is so friendly & helpful, the food is amazing, & the coffee is the best! Can't recommend enough!
Pas ouf, je préfère quand mes pan cakes n'ont pas le gout d'oignon. PS: Peut-être utiliser une plaque différente pour les desserts ou mieux la nettoyer. Update: Seems to be a legit error on their part, & are nice about negative comments :)
