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.
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 😊
Such a lovely cafe! The staff is incredibly friendly, & was constantly making sure everyone was enjoying their drinks & food (which were delicious)! The vibe is great, i highly recommend trying it out
Their pancakes are amazing with oats. I will come back again to try them. The service & atmosphere are 5/5. Thanks to those in charge of this wonderful place.💙
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.
