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.
Limonade glacée très rafraîchissante en une journée de canicule. Serveurs très sexy & sympathiques. Odeur invitante dès l'entrée dans le resto. Menu délicieux.
Everything was amazing & all the dishes were truly special, as they took care of each dish in a wonderful way. A place worth visiting every day, in terms of the atmosphere & distinctive service. I recommend visiting it every day.
Coffee meets the bar here, but the place is missing the mark here & there. Music is too low to make an impact, cold drink options are not wholly inspiring, for English speakers (which likely makes up a large portion of their potential clientele), it's hard to figure out what food they sell.

Believe it or not, we came here 3 times in 4 days when we were staying in Montreal for breakfast. My son loved it so much! & each time it was so yummy regardless of what we ordered.

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.

Amazing!!!!! So delicious, amazing staff! I had room service at the vogue hotel, wasn't edible, & came here instead, so glad I did! Halloumi & egg sandwich is perfect & the almond croissants! Can't wait to come back & try more!
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.
What a beautiful small place with lovely food! Tried the smootie bowl with banana & strawberry, was lovely & beautifully presented! Will come back soon, & if it is just for the yummy croissants you offer too.. this time i stayed on the healthy side.
