Review Summary

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.

Genuinely impressed with the food & coffee here. With so many interesting cafes & restaurants in this wonderful City, I rarely want to go to the same place twice. But I will certainly return to Mintar.

Bel accueil & service sympathique. Préparation des assiettes devant nous. C'est frais ! Nous avons pris uniquement des boissons chaudes & pancakes. Mais quel délice ! Les autres assiettes semblaient bien bonnes aussi !

Excellent place for brunch & coffee. The sandwiches are very fresh & flavourful. The yogurt parfait has delicious granola & fruit. The staff are also friendly.

This is a gem of a place. They were very accommodating in making us meal item outside of their menu for my toddler. Super friendly & great atmosphere.

Perfect in every way. Beautiful presentation. I loved this cafe & I came here 3 times in 3 days while at a conference nearby. A gem! I had lunch twice & the sandwiches were delightful.

Pretty disorganized & you have to awkwardly wait around a busy counter to get your food even when eating in. There's also an extreme lack of seating which I feel like they could've warned about before paying for food to eat-in. The music is also extremely loud.

I saw the pistachio croissant & I had to have it. It was better than I could have imagined. Not only is it covered with a delicious pistachio paste on the outside, it is sliced in half & spread with the filling on the inside. Highly recommended for those 10,000+ step days.

The cortado was very nicely prepared too. With a nice dark foam.

It was raining outside & it was nice to escape inside by the window.

There are not a lot of seats & it got BUSY after I sat down. They are well staffed & quick with the service though.

Oh wait! I see more seats upstairs. What a gem this café is. I will stay awhile.

The guy on the till speaks great English & French.

Petit café tout simple un peu à l'extérieur de la zone touristique. Quel accueil fabuleux, on s'assure à quelques reprises que nous sommes satisfait de notre repas & oui nous étions très satisfaits. Les portions sont copieuses à un prix fort raisonnable, & le tout très, très savoureux . Leur café est un délice. Osez explorer & vous serez ravis.
