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.
Was in town visiting for a festival & stumbled across this hidden gem! Enjoyed a lovely brunch here with my friends & the service was fantastic! Loved the spicy mayo!
What a lovely find of a restaurant! Friendly service, relaxing vibe & some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Give this place some love ...they're working hard to make it perfect!
Found this cozy coffee shop close to our hotel & it was a fantastic experience! Their lattes, especially with Oatly oat milk, were some of the best I've ever had. The smoothie bowls were equally delicious, & the service was friendly & quick. Loved the cozy & inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick & healthy breakfast.

Came here because it was so highly rated & it lived up to it. Fantastic fresh food & delicious espresso. They have a nice loft to sit on the second floor to take in the atmosphere. We will be back!
I always come here for coffee & a late breakfast. The croissant with eggs & is very delicious, & the pancake is amazing! Also, the quality of coffee here is excellent, one of the best in the downtown area with very good prices.
I have no idea why I haven't heard of this place before. Every time I have ordered a sandwich in a cafe it was premade. They grilled the chicken & toasted the bread in front of me everything was fresh. I love smoothies & usually they're made with frozen fruits. This was my first time getting a smoothie that was just fresh fruit blended up. IT WAS 6$ for a FRESH fruit smoothie IN THE WINTER. That's the same price as the frozen garbage that I can't go back to anymore. I'm really impressed.
