| - We came across this quaint breakfast/brunch place after visiting a nearby church. The 4 star reviews in Yelp intrigued me. Figs is not a big chain breakfast place, but they definitely are doing something right when it comes to breakfast and brunch because this place was packed. The place was clean with multiple wooden tables and chairs squeezed into the smallish restaurant. The wait staff were friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. Our food came out less than 10 minutes after we ordered.
I ordered the classic eggs Benedict with peameal bacon. These were honestly the best eggs Benedict that I have ever tasted as they were balanced and not sour like some places. The portion size was huge, and came with 3 eggs and generous pieces of perfectly cooked peameal bacon served with a not too heavy hollandaise sauce atop lightly toasted English muffins. My dish also came with delicious crispy fried potatoes and a shredded potato pancake.
My hubby ordered the full breakfast, which was served with two eggs, two strips of perfectly crispy bacon, and two sausages, served with the same delicious potatoes and potato pancake as my meal. The full breakfast included a choice of pancakes, French toast or waffle for $12. Crunchy caramelized edges and slight orange essence take Figs' French toast to a sublime level. Figs makes deliciously light French toast that was served with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar and maple syrup on the side, not weighed down with tons of heavy toppings like at other establishments so the French toast has a chance to shine.
For these two huge meals and two mini-pots of tea, the total came to $32 plus tip. For the quality of food, portion sizes that fill you for the rest of the day, and great service, this was well worth the price. We will bring family with us next time so they can experience this gem of a brunch place.
