Review from Ed U.
Tired of envying the privileged sipping afternoon tea with their pinkies up at the Empress Hotel? When will we start the revolution to overcome the oppression of the insufferably wealthy who throw the crumbs of their scones at us? OK, maybe next year. In the meantime, you can set a spell at Liberty Cafe just a stone's throw away from the old Empress. It's actually right next to the Victoria Conference Centre, so it must be a magnet for Shriners and engineers with big pocket protectors.
It's a clean modern space that offers the standard selection of coffee, juices, and deli sandwiches. Jamie W. and I had time to kill before our ferry back to the mainland, so we managed some people-watching at an outside table as I nursed a C$4.95 Peach Perfection Smoothie. I don't know about perfect, and it was a tad pricey. But there was no doubt that it hit the spot before our seafaring journey. It's a decent alternative to the finger sandwiches and strawberry tarts at the Empress. Alas, our time will come... we shall overcome.
SMOOTHIE - 3 stars...kinda on the sweet side and expensive
AMBIANCE - 4 stars...a nice space to take a break
SERVICE - 3 stars...adequate describes it
TOTAL - 3 stars...non-snobs need to wet their whistles, tooListed in: Vancouver, Victoria, Veni,…

Great little place to grab a muffin and tea before getting on the Ferry to Vancouver!
Outdoor seating always a plus. -

Decent. Super close to bus terminal, but that's about the only benefit. You can find better food, drink and prices elsewhere I'm sure, whichever you are looking for.

Mediocre coffee (bitter; I bet you $50 they don't adjust the grind every day). Nice space but the music was a mismatch to the atmosphere. Food is expensive. Overall a nice place to sit but otherwise skip in favor of Mirage Cafe on Government.
