Liberty Village is one of Toronto’s best neighbourhoods to spend time in during a weekend morning, when the streets and sidewalks are quiet and tons of spots are cooking up a delicious brunch, all within a few minutes walk of eachother!
Let’s be honest, brunch is basically a love language here, so whether you’re into stack-of-pancakes indulgence, cozy coffee dates, or full-on mimosa flights, Liberty has the spots for your next brunch date, whatever the vibe is.
SCHOOL
Address: 70 Fraser Ave
Weekday brunch menu served all-day Monday to Friday and weekends after 3pm; weekend brunch menu served Saturday, Sunday and Holidays until 3pm
This is the it spot for a fun, playful brunch date that gives you tons of puns to play with for an Instagram caption. SCHOOL is famous for their Apple Crumble Pancakes and Super Cheesy Bacon French Toast (aka the kind of dishes that are impossible not to split).
The space is industrial-chic but laidback, with cheeky touches like chalkboard specials and cocktails served in beakers. Bonus points if you grab a patio seat when the weather’s good.
OEB Breakfast Co.
Address: 125 Western Battery Rd, Unit 101
Mon–Fri 7:00 AM–3:00 PM; Sat–Sun 8:00 AM-4:00 PM
OEB is one of the more recent additions to the Liberty Village brunch scene, and is brunch turned bougie in the best way possible. Their breakfast poutines made with potato wedges, farm-fresh bennys with some seriously fancy toppings, and truffle-forward egg dishes are made for a luxe weekend splurge.
Plus, they’re serious about their ingredients, so everything feels super fresh. Order a mimosa flight if you’re feeling celebratory, it’s basically brunch date gold.
Mildred’s Temple Kitchen
Address: 85 Hanna Ave #104
Brunch: Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM – 3 PM; B’Lunch: Mondays – Fridays from 10 AM – 3 PM
If you know, you know; Mildred’s is a Liberty Village brunch icon. Their Mrs. Biederhof’s Wild Blueberry
Buttermilk Pancakes are famous across the city. It’s a bright, modern space that feels special without trying too hard, making it perfect for a slow and cozy weekend date.
P.S. there’s no weekend reservations, so make sure to get there early or be prepared to wait a bit!
Liberty Soho

Brunch is on weekends only from 10am – 3pm
This one’s your casual-chic brunch stop where you can keep things lowkey but still cute, all with an downtown elegance that is honestly giving New York a bit. The menu has all the classics including eggs, bennys, and Caesars with a lively neighbourhood vibe right on the corner of Liberty Village’s courtyard area and tunnel.
It’s the kind of spot you wander into for brunch and end up staying for a couple of extra cocktails.
NODO Liberty

Brunch is on weekends only from 10am – 3pm
Want to impress your date with something a little different? NODO brings Italian flair to brunch with Ricotta Pancakes, Porchetta & Eggs, and brunch Spritzes.

Egg Club Liberty Village
Address: 171 East Liberty St, Unit 109
Open daily from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
Brunch doesn’t always have to be sit-down service! This spot is all about pillowy milk-bread sandwiches stacked with soft-scrambled eggs and fun toppings. You’ll literally always be in the mood for it.
It’s quick, casual, and affordable; a perfect pre-adventure brunch date before strolling the neighbourhood or tackling a busy day.
Arvo Coffee & Wine
Address: 80 Atlantic Ave
Monday – Fridays from 7:00 AM – 6:00PM, Saturdays – Sundays from 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM
ARVO is that effortlessly cool café you wish you had in your own neighbourhood, and people in LV do (lcuky). They serve beautiful espresso drinks, seasonal brunch picks, bowls, and more all in a bright, design-forward space.
It’s perfect for a “just coffee” date that casually turns into brunch… and maybe into wine later in the day.
LOCAL Public Eatery
Address: 171 East Liberty St, Unit 100
Serving brunch Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 10am – 3pm
If your vibe is brunch and sports bar energy, LOCAL is your spot. Their brunch menu has everything from fried chicken & waffles to giant Caesars, and the vibe is always lively. Great for a daytime date that doesn’t need to be overly serious – you can eat, sip, and maybe stay for a game or two on the patio.
