I went there today with my son and mother in law. It was great. The food was hearty and delicious. It has such a great old school feel. It double as a mini convenience store (for drinks and gum that's about it). AND has a small area that is sort has a coffee shop vibe. The one draw back would be the lack of accessibility (i.e a ramp to get in). It is a nice little gem that i am glad to have in my neighborhood.
loved it :) -

love the butter squash potato soup.
great place to go and read a book in a quieter area of liberty village and enjoy a cup of coffee...it's no balzacs...but it's decent and reasonably priced. -

I have been here a few times to grab a cup of coffee on my way to the GO Train station nearby and with my husband for some breakfast.
The dark roast coffee is not bad, but I think I'd like to try some of their other brews next time.
They usually have 5 or so available.
As for food:
We have tried a toasted bagel with egg, cheese and veggies as well as a grilled cheese sandwich.
The bagel was good, but nothing I am not able to make at home.
The grilled cheese sandwich left me unimpressed.
I like the atmosphere of this cafe.
The seating options are really inviting and comfortable.
As a writer, I could totally see myself here to hack away on the laptop. ;) -

What a great find!!! We were looking for a deli outside the bustle of downtown Toronto and ended up in Liberty Village. We love checking out little markets and such...
When you walk in the door you are welcomed by ladies that will make you any made-to-order fresh ingredient sandwich on either delicious multi-grain bread or a wrap. "You want it toasty?!" The answer is YES!!! They will place your sandwich in a panini press and make it extra yumm-o!!
They have a large selection of home-made soups and chili...many of which are veggie happy...and it's all self serve. There were 6 to pick from the day we were there. They also have a large selection of drinks, including coffee and teas.
Make sure you look at their cold 'pre-made' foods. The 'salad rolls' are not to be missed!!! You get 3 delicious veggie and tofu rolls with a tasty dipping sauce for under $5. They also have a variety of salads and yummy looking desserts.
My husband and I shared a 'toasty' chicken breast sandwich with all the fixings on multi-grain bread and the salad rolls. What a great place for lunch!!! -

In any other area of town, this place would get three stars, but since it exists in the healthy-and-reasonably-priced-food desert that is Liberty Village, it gets four.
Liberty Village Market & Cafe makes soups and sandwiches and salads, toasts bagels, serves coffee and has a comprehensive selection of beverages. It's not rocket science, but it tastes good and it doesn't leave a major hole in your wallet. Why can't there be more cafes like this?
The lentil soup is excellent.
Only the right-side cashier takes debit. -

Worth stopping in if you are in the King and Dufferin area and just want a simple soup and/or sandwich.
- Spacious and clean cafe
- Fresh well made sandwich (although nothing really special) and large good soup (lentil, in my case) deal for about $10.25 tax-in. Nice that there were about 6 soup choices
- I didn't see any "real" bowls, plates, cutlery for eating in (to be fair I didn't inquire)
- I didn't come during prime-time - it could be difficult to get a seat then
- I'm at about 3.75 stars here, I will round up to 4. -

I have been going to Liberty village cafe for a few years now. The place is always busy on lunch, but somehow seems in good order and it's very clean!
They have the best butter quash potato soup! It's perfectly thick but still runny and smooth. They have potato mix with it is really smart as it helps the texture. Also coconut milk is added in the soup, really helps the flavor of sweetness from salty. Every time when I order this, I feel my taste buds experience max satisfaction.
They also have the BEST pecan butter tarts and plain croissants! 100% freshly home made! It's made to perfection. If u love pastries, you HAVE to give it a try. I was very surprised how good they were when I didnt hold much expectation towards them while I had been going bakeries all over the places in the City. One thing is they taste like they were rite out of oven.
Also their vege lasagna is taste of haven! I am a huge meat lover, I will never order a meal without meat! This is one meal I can say I was truly satisfied when I ordered both times. It was absolutely delicious with roasted green n red pepper, zucchini, eggplant and mushrooms....oh off course lots of cheese. Amazing!
People work there are always nice too. One time I went to grab something, but didnt bring enough change since its rite by my office I didnt really want to bring my bag . The cashier let me take the stuff and pay d difference later. I know its like 50 cents short, but most of places in Toronto wouldnt do that. They would rather u go back to grab yr money since you are so close by than let u take goods with you and under pay. LOL. I couldn't thank the guy enough, but he tripple ensured me its okay, no worries. hah...yeah it was nice. =) -

The first thing you are faced with when you enter this little joint is a large table full of soups and chili. Let me tell you, it is hard to pass this area without at least getting a small cup. My all time favourite is the squash soup. Delicious every time. To your right you will find a lady that will make you a fresh sandwich or wrap. You choose all the ingredients. I recommend the avocado sandwich on fresh multi-grain bread with cheese, other veggies, topped with the cranberry mayo. I've had it many times, and will have it again. They also have a good selection of drinks, including freshly made coffees and teas.
I like this place for breakfast or lunch. I think you would too. -

Usually have 6 soups (1 or 2 veg), veg and meat chili of which most are pretty tasty and filling.
They also have a nice selection of custom sandwiches, salads, and wraps. Pizzas, panz' and a few other premade selections for a quick lunch.
Pretty popular in the area, seating for about 25. Some of the prices are a bit high, but the lunch combos (soup & wrap, for example) are generous and appropriately priced. -

I've been going to Liberty Market on and off for over four years now. Their selection of breakfast and lunch choices is great. If you are a soup person, their mushroom & wild rice is a killer.
The prices aren't awesome, but I think you get what you pay for. If you are a real pasta connoisseur then you may want to steer away from their hot pasta dishes. They are okay, but over-oiled in my opinion.
I love their egg salad wraps, and their pizza is a solid 7.5/10. Drinks are pretty standard, and as Connie T. mentions in her review, the salad rolls are terrific (nut allergen alert!). -

I ain't no fist-pounding health nut, but give me a diet of salad rolls from Liberty Market, and I could be a convert.
These rolls are seriously the best I've had. They're massive and loaded with way more than your typical two-strands of vermicelli and romaine lettuce. And if speed of eating is any indication of quality (try me), then these rolls are in my top ten hall of fame.
I also remember my whole world becoming a soft focus when I dipped my spoon into their hearty soups and chilis. There wasn't a soup I didn't like at that place, even if I had to pay the ridiculous cost -- around $3 for a quantity that I could hold in my cupped hand. Could I have some more, please, sir?
That's ultimately the Liberty's downfall -- it's a pricey place to grab some quick convenient chow, but the food is a little more on the gourmet end of things and worth the extra loonie. -

Some years back (quite a few actually), whe I was in Canada for an internship I used to temp on the side for extra cash at YTV, CMT and Treehouse office, across the street from this place. Even in the middle of winter I was always look forward to go to work and Liberty Village is the icing on the cake!
They have some of the best stuff I have ever had in the world here, from their tuna sandwich to their creative and yummy salad. Bagel toast! Their soups are just divine (drool) oh I miss Canada!
