A true Lisbon gem!! ✨✨ We came for a cozy breakfast and left absolutely enchanted. The service was exceptional — the staff were warm, witty, and genuinely so welcoming, making us feel right at home from the start. We ordered the Salmon Benedict and blackberry pancakes with a pineapple tea and a mimosa, and every bite was perfection! Celebrating Portuguese Mother’s Day here was a 10/10 experience, and we can’t wait to return later this week with my husband. Highly, highly recommended!! Thank you so much Liberty!! 💗🥞🌷

I can't believe how many AWESOME cafes Lisbon has, and this is definitely one of the best we visited! Their brunch options are fantastic – we had a french omelette and strawberry pancakes. The pancakes were stacked beautifully, super Instagram-worthy, and absolutely delicious! I also loved the hint of pistachio on top. The omelette was rich, filled with cheese, and came with a side of toast. The coffee was amazing – perfectly balanced with a strong, aromatic blend!

This place was absolutely amazing! We got the pistachio raspberry lattes which were so beautiful and tasty, as well as the roast beef eggs Benedict and the pancakes. The pancakes were so fluffy and delicious, and were paired so well with the whipped cream and jam. Isshuka helped us, and she was honestly so bubbly and sweet! Just for the atmosphere and service we would come back here!
