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.
A great spot for a quick bite or a simple coffee. The owners exude hospitality & warmth. The food is fresh & tasty but could be even better if only the bread which they source was of better quality (why not from next door?). The potatoes aren't really necessary but that is just my opinion...

Delicious food, great vibes. 10/10. Get the cottage cheese pancake & the matcha-absolutely fire. The barista was so friendly & they don't charge for alternative milk. He always offered to give us more of something free of charge if it wasn't enough, e.g., syrup, tea, etc. Great food for reasonable prices.
I got addicted to taste of their coffee. They are very nice & friendly. Whenever I go there I feel like I am going to visit a friend & have coffee! Highly recommended
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
