Caffè Libertà

Yowza! Great pasticceria. Sandwiches, pastries, fresh fruit galore. Want to blend in? Peruse the bounty of food behind the glass? If you don't know what it is, the girl will gladly help. Then go to the cashier at the entrance and pay for your food and beverages. Then go to the barrista and order your caffeinated drink of choice. As he prepares your drink go back to the sandwich counter to get your food. Last stop: coffee. Sit outside if you can. What a great experience. Best of all are the prices. Where can you get two cappuccinos for €2.80? OMG.

This shop should also have cafe included in its description categories. Amazingly delicious pastries! By far the best breakfast experience of the last week in Italy! My wife even liked the coffee which has been surprisingly disappointing at most places in Italy. Not only was the food and coffee awesome, but the price makes me want to order double, it is so affordable! If you want breakfast in Florence, be sure to come here!

Comparing this bar to others would be a shame.
It's an historical place, placed in an historical square and always crowded with people popping by for a coffee or a snack.

Sitting under the porch is also very nice!

Cappuccini are OKAY- I'm not a huge fan of the frothy foam but for 1.20 you can't complain too much about cappuccino in Italy;)

The cornetti and pastries are indeed pretty descent and the staff there are in tip top shape with many little candies and cakes to take home if need be.

My only complaint is that I was there for during lunch and I think the wait staff took too literally the term "piatti espressi" because after 3 seconds of doing the scarpetta of my burrata, my plate was whisked away from the table, albeit 5 pieces of potatoes left on the plate. I know this is Italy and service usually shouldn't be expected, but it is my ultimate pet peeve when plates are taken away just moments after the meal is finished, when food is still in my mouth or in this case- on my plate. Plus for a caffè lunch, €8.50 was a quite steep price for a ball of burrata and over boiled bland potatoes and limp lettuce.

Why go: If you must be in Piazza Libertà and you forgot breakfast or a dolce for a dinner party.

Lovely place for a typical Italian breakfast!
Great coffee and wide selection of pastries.
Also with a more than fair price!

Just finished my first good cup of what tasted like heaven in a cup (coffee). When we arrived in Italy, this is what I was expecting. Everything tasty and yummy. Well this is our first win while here in Italy. Liberta has delivered. Really affordable, like super cheap. Got three delicious treats and two coffees for 6€. Amazing. Such a delight. Great place. We will be coming here every day.
