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 spot with a cozy atmosphere & excellent coffee. The food is also really good fresh, tasty, & well-prepared. The staff is friendly, & the service is quick. Perfect place to relax or grab a bite. Highly recommend!'
Mintar Cafe has always been my go to place since I've moved here! Food & drinks are amazing, & the staff are so welcoming & friendly. Would highly recommend coming here to study or to grab coffee with friends!
Un café excellent qui allie qualité / santé / prix correct.
Le café est excellent, un large choix de sirop.
Je conseille particulièrement les pancakes au cottage, c'est gourmand, protéiné, avec de bons fruits & du sirop d'érable
Il y en a pour tout les goûts !
L'espace est assez petit mais très convivial & confortable
L'accueil au top ! Nous reviendrons à chaque fois que nous venons sur Montréal ! 🤩

I went out looking for a quick coffee & accidentally stumbled upon one of the best breakfast spots in Montreal. After trying the coffee, I turned back around & got in line to get some breakfast. It was excellent.
I really enjoyed there. Food is great with very good customer services. They let me sit there for hours cuz I am hitting my assignments deadlines. thank your for your kindness to customers. I will come back for sure
It's a great cafe, the pancakes were fantastic & beautiful presentation. It's well prices for $15 & the vibes were great. I will comeback to try the sandwich. It's a bit small the space but the staff were fantastic.
