Nice little cafe with a selection of coffees, teas and small bites/sandwiches and friendly staff. There was a mixed crowd, with some students working and other people just chatting over coffee. Of note is that they offer lactose free and nut milk at no charge. We ordered a cortado and mochaccino, both were very good. Overall, great spot to warm up and enjoy a coffee and chat.
The cottage cheese pancakes are a must!! So soft and pillowy with the perfect texture and sweetness - not too much it’s just right! Genuinely one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Only thing is we wished they used real maple syrup. Service was kind and the space is cozy and quaint. Will definitely be back with our own maple syrup if necessary loll!!

Visited Mintar twice during my two day stay in Montreal. Easily my favorite place I’ve eaten at here. Tried their cottage cheese pancake on the first day, and my mind was blown. Same for the sub I had the next day. Simple but perfected. Great coffee as well at a reasonable price. The vibe of the cafe is just how I like it — unpretentious yet comfortable. Focus is on food and service. The friendly staff is the cherry on top.
Loved our experience here. Great place to get a quick bite esp if you’re on a schedule. I think I had one of the best almond croissant here (not attached in photos cause ate it too quickly lol). Even their coffee was amazing, hit the right spot! Definitely drop by here if you’re visiting Montreal or living there.
