    Sahlab
    Issan Z.

    When Pikolo moved out of this space, many of us wondered what would replace it. After some waiting time, Mintar appeared! I was quite happy it would remain a cozy coffee shop, and even more happy that it would showcase some delicious Middle Eastern treats. I went in recently because I was attracted by their sign outside advertising for sahlab, which is rarely found in coffee shops in Montreal. It was a cold day - perfect for a hot cup of comfort! Service was courteous and fast. The drink was offered with crushed pistachios (I declined cinnamon), which blended perfectly with the flavour of rose water. Thickness of the drink was great, and it wasn't too sweet. I'm looking forward to see them take their place in the neighborhood, and to try their sandwiches!

    This spacious welcoming cafe owned by two brothers which opened three months ago is definitely one to put on your short list. The music is perfect in both tune and volume and there is seating on two levels. They have a precise chalkboard menu with a full range of coffees and sub sandwiches fitting for breakfast and later in the day. The place is pristinely clean and well cared for. The owners are Middle Eastern and very personable. Another standout is there ceiling is very high which makes the place very airy and open. This makes it a perfect place to meet, work or study. I wish them well in becoming a fixture in the coffee bar scene and rumour has it they will be getting a smoothie machine tomorrow, so watch for new menu offerings soon. Keep up the great work! PS They also have Qatayef on the menu which is another rose water infused semi-sweet mini crepe treat. Can't wait to try it!

    Best Mocha in the world. Absolutely fabulous pancakes as well. Friendly service right near McGill and the Palace des Artes metro.

    This is a MUST TRY if you are ever in the Montreal area. I saw this on Instagram and I'm sure lots…read moreof other people did since the place was very busy. Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

    I stumbled upon this gem around the corner from my hotel under less-than-ideal circumstances--we…read morewere heading out at the crack of dawn for a 13-hour tour to Quebec City, and my hotel's breakfast (promised at 6 AM) was MIA at 6:20. Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.
