"Comfort food. What warm feelings it evokes, stirring up forgotten moments from life's bowlful of memories. Eating it sates and contents us. . .

At The Liberty Café, owner Cathie Guntli makes the ultimate chicken pot pie—better than my mother's (and potpie was her pride), better, too, than any other I've come across dining out. Baked to order, it arrives, molten hot, with a buttery, golden puff-pastry dome over juicy chinks of white chicken and perfectly cooked peas, carrots, and potatoes in a barely thickened chicken gravy. . . ."

"Lots of people who love food have a similar fantasy: to find a small, totally adorable café that consistently turns out simple, delicious food. This notion of discovery is what motivates many of us who cruise from neighborhood to neighborhood looking for great food. And just when you think there's nothing out there, you stumble upon a place like Liberty Café."
- Michael Bauer, Chronicle Food Editor


"Liberty Café has a French country feel, with burnished hardwood floors, high wainscotting and lemony faux finish walls. Interior-design bullshit aside, it's quite simply a place that feels good to sit in. . .

A bread basket filled with warm, housemade rosemary bread balls, absolutely irresistable, got things off to a lovely start. . ."
