| - I really liked this place. It seemed to bridge the gap between your typical greasy spoon joint and the more upmarket snooty hipstery brunch places. Judging from the lineup outside on a chilly spring day, it seems many in the local community were equally appreciative of what Figs has to offer.
I had the eggs benny with peameal. Wow. Amazing value for money here! For $12, I got three muffins, three beautifully poached eggs and three deliciously succulent pieces of bacon, all covered in a refreshingly light hollandaise sauce. The price included salad, home fries and toast. Fantastic. Easily twice the size of what you'd get in many other brunch places - and the quality was up to standard, too.
As someone below noted, the orange juice is delicious! It was freshly squeezed and in a decent size glass, and set me back only about 3.50. A nice change from the many restaurants who pour Tropicana out of a carton in a tiny portion and then charge over 4 bucks for it.
The service was friendly, endearing and speedy without making us feel rushed.
This place is doing everything right, and I'm glad an honest, down to earth, reasonably priced cafe is holding its own against the myriad of fake pretentious places out there.
Will be back for sure.
