the BREL teamJanuary 17, 2012No-fooling-around espresso & coffee, in a venue as beautiful as their other locations. Residents in the attached loft can enter straight from the building using a keyfob--robe, slippers, cappuccino! Read more
Dan BrownAugust 11, 2014Balzac's is the best coffee in Liberty Village, and a great spot for any daytime meetings you may have with your meetup group or potential client. They also have a wide range of tasty loose leaf teas.
Justin OrdovezaJune 2, 2023A great coffee shops with a nice seating area in the back. Great to people watch and grab a cup of coffee.
Chester HOctober 26, 2016The only good coffee anywhere in the Liberty Village area! Nice selection of drinks and snacks, good seating areas.
ValNovember 14, 2013Some of the best locally roasted coffee in Toronto, plus vegan brownies and bars, and almond or soy available.
Katrina BautistaApril 16, 2019There's long lines in the morning, so ordering through Ritual is a good bet. They have lots of kinds of alternate milk for no extra charge.
PaulSeptember 25, 2014Great date squares, and the sugarless chocolate squares are great too.. Fantastic decor and vibe
The Balzac's Blend coffee may be the closest I'll get to a perfect coffee in this life. Take some home - it will elevate your drip-coffee maker into something special.
Adam PeleshokJune 8, 2014The latte canadienne (or whatever it's called) is delicious. But only if you like sweet lattes
Liberty Village’s best coffee. Cute little shop that can get quite busy.
William MougayarAugust 9, 2014This is not the best run Balzac location & I'm a fan generally. I wished they had more consistency across their stores.
Matt KennedyMarch 26, 2011Cool atmosphere in Balzac's Liberty Village location. Lots of bar-style seating. Few tables for groups of 4 or more. Nice cappuccinos though!
Arnoud AalbersbergNovember 15, 2015No, despite the cool setting, not on my damn good coffee places list. Flat white tasted flat.
- best coffee and espresso in Liberty Village, and only 100 feet south of Starbucks! They have vegan cookies amongst their treats, so that's nice. Read more
Ryan ChangJuly 26, 2010One of the best cups of coffee I've had. I had the medium blend. Great to know that it's organic and free traded.
Great coffee ... but their hot chocolate is crappy instant stuff from pouches ... Carnation ... outrageous.
Brad AshbyApril 5, 2011Ordered a coffee for here, got it in a paper cup! Would much rather it in a actual coffee cup (just tastes better) I guess you have to be more specific! But other than that, good coffee!!- Live Green TorontoJune 21, 2011Ask about using your Live Green Toronto Membership Card to get 10% off fair trade coffee! Details online: bit.ly/LGTObalzacs
LanceJuly 4, 2010Great coffee! I found it was lukewarm and a bit weak for my tastes but nevertheless, I will return here!
Darryl ClarkeApril 18, 2014It's been almost four years since my last visit, but the place still smells bad. A strange mix of BO, horse manure, and old factory.
Sean ClaessenFebruary 28, 2010You gotta get here early in the day to get a winter Ontario hot apple cider!
The 'heat' often hangs out here,' as the copshop is just around the corner
Frappé is expensive, but has 2 shots of espresso vs. the instant coffee crap you get at Starbucks in their frappucinos.
Skip Starbucks. Blazac's has the best coffee is Liberty Village.
