Three little figs is definitely where it's at! I popped in on a wet, cold, snowy Saturday morning for some breakfast and Java. My friend and I both noticed the bacon, egg and pepper biscuit breakfast sandwich special and went for it. We also shared the infamous lavender biscuit (Swoon). Let's start with the lavender biscuit. When drinking or eating anything lavender flavored it's hit-or-miss. You either have something that's delightful and you look forward to enjoying it again or it tastes like perfume and you get grossed out. Three little figs has mastered the lavender biscuit! It is soft and moist with not too much icing and and amazing lavender flavor. I now know why everyone raves about it in these reviews. Our breakfast sandwiches came out quickly and piping hot. Because they were crowded I did not ask to have my sandwich deconstructed, so I decided to dive in (braces and all!). I was like a kid in a candy store! The bacon was mildly sweet and thick cut, the eggs were fluffy and seasoned just right and the pepper biscuit was amazing! A little crunch on top and soft in the center. You can eat it all together or take it apart and savor the flavors one by one, which is what I did to half of it LOL But let's get to the best part, the coffee! Their Iced Cold Brew makes me want to camp out in front of the store every morning. Sip, Savor, Heaven! It's very mellow and doesn't need any sweeteners. Just a splash of half and half and you're golden, no pun intended. I regret not visiting this establishment sooner because it's now one of my top 10 breakfast spots in the Somerville area. Keep in mind seating can be a little tight. And I can definitely foresee a line during the summer months bcz it's cozy (but worth it!). Last, but not least, the service. The staff is friendly, welcoming and very engaging with customers. The manager overheard me going on and on about the cold brew and gave the biggest smile and nod. I love family-owned restaurants like this. Way to go guys. read more

Cute little brunch spot, perfect for Sundays! This is more of a cafe though, than a sit-down brunch-and-chow-down type of spot. The items are small and a la carte - a bit pricey, but everything is great quality. LOVE their lavender biscuit! Buttery with a slight brunch to it and just the perfect amount of lavender to make it slightly fragrant. I also got their veggie pie (only available on weekends) which was great and I especially loved the layered potatoes on the bottom - YUM. It's a small, brightly lit space, perfect for catching up with a friend or reading. Definitely wouldn't come here with more than four people! read more

Looks like it was 5 years ago I reviewed this place and it was my first ever review on Yelp. Five years have now gone by since I left Boston and 7 since I moved there. Since then I've taken residence in both Southern and Northern California and during pandemic made my way back to my original home NYC. I drove to Boston last night and decided to spend the night so I can go up to 3LF hoping by some miracle someone would be there and I remembered and most importantly hoping somehow Becca (found out her name finally) still worked there. It was like I never left except things have gotten a bit more tech with social distancing and ordering through web but I saw faces there that my spirit needed to see. It was like coming home even though I never considered Boston my home. For two years everyday this place and Becca's amazing smile, hair in a bun and funky glasses got me up and gave me the shot of dopamine along with my extra shots of espresso that I needed to eventually allow Boston to grow on me. I am so happy to see this place is still thriving post pandemic and it's year worthy, wonderful group of lovely people are still serving smiles, dopamine and now a sense of hope for normal again. I love you 3 Little Figs, you're more then a coffee shop to some of us even as we go to places far far away in our life journey we always find a way to come back home, even if for a moment and even if not in the city we call home, that tiny portion of a city block you occupy is our portal to home. And as for Becca, I've already prayed to every god that in my next life I will see your lovely smile everyday in one form or another so for now I will be fine in this lifetime knowing I can get to it even if it's only once every few years (although I'm closer now could probably squeeze in a trip monthly). Thank you Johny (Maka) read more

It's packed on weekends so if you want to sit down and eat/drink be aware of that. I ordered an Egg Feta sandwich, a couple of pastries and a coffee. The sandwich was okay....kind of overrated. The bread was soggy and the egg could have been cooked a little more. Despite that, i'd come back every weekend just for the Lavender Biscuit. I mean, damn. That thing was insanely bomb. I also got the apple cider donut muffin which was good but a little dense and dry. Coffee was okay. So in summary, stop by and order every lavender biscuit they have. read more

Great little brunch/lunch spot: emphasis on the 'little', this place is small. It's a favorite in the area to stop in and sit for a while so seats don't really open up that often and on weekends there's a line out the door. There is additional seating in the building next door, but it was dark and uninviting so we decided to get lunch to-go. The sandwiches we tried were fantastic - the market sandwich and the BLTA sandwich were both fresh and a decent size - I was definitely full for a while after eating. I'll probably stop in again sometime soon if I want something on the go because I have a feeling I'll never get an actual seat in there :) read more

I absolutely love this cute cafe. The market sandwich is AMAZING - the fig jam, prosciutto, arugula and the bread just go together perfectly. The egg in the breakfast sandwich is super fluffy and well seasoned and the brioche bread is really tasty. The chocolate pistachio cookie is heavenly. Love the texture of it and the addition of pistachio. I gotta say I was a bit disappointed with the lavender biscuit that everyone raves about! Only the surface of the biscuit (which is the icing) has lavender flavor and the rest is just plain old biscuit. The icing is also too sweet for my taste. read more

THIS PLACE IS ADORABLE! Where do I start? The staff is incredibly friendly, menu items are all delicious and innovative, and espresso beverage offerings are delicious. They also go out of their way to only use the best local products, including milk for all espresso beverages. Their honey, yogurt and granola is the best I've ever had. It literally tasted so fresh and delicious I would have thought they had a beekeeper in the kitchen. I've never tasted yogurt that fresh or honey that tasty. I highly recommend this spot! read more

Top tier coffee and good to great food. The biscuit is not a true southern biscuit, but a delicious sort of buttery scone.

Got the summer sammich. Right off the bat was a nice cause they drew a lil sunshine on the box. The sammich was Nommey! It was all about the bread: a perfect foccacia with amazing contrast between the pillowy memory foam interior and a crusty, browned exterior with some nice chew but not too much. the middle was more if a complement to the incredible bread than its own thing: creamy hummus and tart and refreshing pickled tomatoes, with some colorful fresh shredded carrots. overall a lovely sandwich to eat on the porch on a summer day- 5 stars!!!!!! read more

I had the spinach pie and my sister had the prosciutto sandwich which we ordered and paid for online. Both were incredible and ready to go by the time we arrived. So sad they were out of lavender scones by the time we got there, but this was definitely worth the stop! read more

Overall, I liked 3 Little Figs. It's a cozy neighborhood restaurant with some good breakfast options. I found the breakfast egg sandwich really tasty and the coffee was great too. The turkey sandwich that I tried was not very tasty. I think they can expand the breakfast menu and add more options with other proteins and vegetables. read more

This cafe is amazing!!! I came by after seeing it on Boston Magazine's best cafe list and definitely was not disappointed.

I don't like biscuits. But when I stopped in one Friday morning and wanted a breakfast sandwich and saw the Friday special was eggs on a biscuit, I decided to try it. And it was absolutely delicious. Now I need to reevaluate everything that I thought I knew about myself and my food preferences! I love hipster coffee shops, and this is definitely one in that genre. Even though the location is quite small, they have used their space effectively. It was delightful to spend a half hour there, and even my boyfriend, who has no love for coffee and coffee shops, was happy with his poppyseed muffin and bottled orange juice. Next time I am in Somerville, I will definitely revisit. read more

A little pricey but the food is always amazing. Their brunch bowl is the best! They also have apple cider donuts year round. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the accessibility of the place is difficult if you're driving. The crowds can be an absolute nightmare and there's limited seating so arrive early or take it to go. read more

i LOVE this place! I used to work in somerville and would walk over on stressful days. I mainly get an iced vanilla latte and it is totally worth the $5 every time. The milk they use is real milk.. i forget what its called. so good! The apple cider muffin is also a fave of mine. Occasionally I will splurge for a sandwhich but those are pricey and usually are on the small side, but always delicious. Now that i dont work in somerville, i will get the full works when i can! The people that work there are also nice! read more

Ok, so I love 3 Figs. I love, love, love the yogurt, the lavender biscuits. . The coffee is heaven. . The smell. The ambience. So why just 1 Star? Well, it's the yoga mom's. Part of their weekly routine is to take the 4 top table for ages. That's sort of OK, we all want to stay st 3 Figs for ages. But they have a new twist. Their infant's strollers are stored between the table and the window, eliminating access to the two window seats behind the 4 top. I asked, rather politely how long would the strollers block the window. They are mom's after all. We do need to be kind and polite. Their reply, "It will be a while, we're nursing". I was a bit startled. So I'm now thinking I'll borrow my niece in her stroller so I can stay as long as I wish? Love you 3 Figs, but I am so confused. Maybe later. P.S. I did some shopping, An hour later, the window seats are still captivated by the strollers. OMG, still nursing? Your children are going to have serious weight issues. read more

What a great cafe!! I just moved to the neighborhood and this was the first place I was told to check out. I went in the morning and ordered their breakfast sandwich with prosciutto and a cold brew. It was fabulous! The bun was incredibly soft and airy. I recommend adding the prosciutto because it really adds an appealing layer of flavor and texture. The cold brew was rich with flavor and delicious! They have outdoor seating, and I definitely recommend snagging a table outside so you can people watch while enjoying your yummy brekkie. :) read more

Came here for lunch with two friends on a Monday. It's about a 10-15min walk from the Porter Square T station, so not bad at all. I had the egg and feta sandwich with prosciutto! It was delicious - not too salty, but lots of flavors. The egg and feta was very fluffy and the brioche bun was soft. I really liked the flavor the prosciutto and the arugula added to the sandwich. One of my friends got the egg biscuit sandwich, which was also good - the bacon is thick cut and has a maple flavor. My friends said the coffee was good. I had an Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed - a good amount of lemonade flavor and not too sweet. read more

Cute little cafe with delicious food. When we arrived around noon on a Sunday, there was a line but it moved pretty fast and we managed to get a table while still in line. I had the breakfast bowl while my S/O had a egg & feta with bacon. The brunch bowl had a good balance of savoury and sweet, with its turmeric sauce and walnuts mixed with dried cherries and sweet potatoes. We both enjoyed our meal, but find our coffee (ordered a soy latte and cappuccino) a little watery. Bought coffee beans and received a free cold brew with it. Overall, great experience and would be back to try other dishes on the menu. read more

It's probably fate that I ended up here, on the heels of an epic string of hashtag-FAIL's to find a donut. Yes, I'm serious. In a fit of Homer Simpson hunger, I had an Amazing Race-style search for a donut. On a sunny Saturday, my friends and I decided to go fancy donut hunting, only to find obstacle upon obstacle on our journey to gluttonous fulfillment: Me: "Hey guys, there's a cool donut pop up shop run by some Top Chef contestant in the south end this weekend. Let's go!" We stroll into The Butcher Shop circa 10:30 and the waitress looks at us like we're crazy / entirely misinformed: "The donuts sold out in 30 minutes, at 9:30. People had lined up since 8-something." #FAIL Me: "Wait, guys! A friend told me about some place called Union Square donuts. Let's go!" *CLOSED* We had been 15 minutes too late. #FAIL Finally, I open my Yelp app, type in "donut", and we decide to go to the first result with great ratings. I was feeling like Bilbo Baggins by now, so no way in donut hell was I going home without a donut. In comes 3 Little Figs. We stumbled upon a cute little cafe with outdoor seating, plenty of 20-30-somethings, parents with kids and dogs alike awaiting their muffin/sandwich/coffee fix. Painted in blue and white (presumably paying homage to the owner's Greek-American heritage), it's got a menu packed with dabbles of Greek influence. We had the apple cider donut muffin, a chocolate mini-bunt, the bacon cornbread muffin, and the lavender biscuit, along with a few lattes. All were good, depending on whether you're craving something sweet or savory, but I'm a sweet tooth to the core, so my favorites were the apple cider donut muffin, the chocolate mini-bunt, and the lavender biscuit. Ok, the chocolate mini-bunt was my ultimate favorite, but it's like choosing a favorite kid, so hush, don't let the others know. We were surprised we were able to find seats--this place was bustling at 3pm on Saturday; I can only imagine how packed it gets in the AM. Funny enough (and yeah, I think this is fate, via Yelp magic), I discovered my former coworker I hadn't seen in about 5 years behind the counter in this family owned biz. So in this epic trilogy to find a donut, I found some delicious cafe goodies and an unexpected reunion all in one:) #WINNING read more

3 Little Figs - At the end of every epic donut journey...are the best cafe goodies 4 plates could hold. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

This newish cafe and bakery has replaced Cafe Lola, which while similar, was pretty mediocre. With an updated look and style, this new place welcomes you with a cozy and welcoming experience. This place is family run and they are very friendly. And they bake some amazing things, from avocado muffins to donut muffins, honey cake and various other goodies. There's even a very creative lavender biscuit which I have yet to try but have been eyeballing on my past few visits. Luckily this place is a fifth of a mile away from my place so I'm sure I'll get around to it soon. Aside from the baked goods they have various sandwiches like their Lil Figgy ($4.50) which features almond butter, banana and honey on 7 grain bread. It's a pretty darn tasty combination. There's also the delicious egg and feta sandwich which features a few leaves of arugula as well and which is served on a brioche. Get it, it's incredible. There's a few more of them and there's also scones, cupcakes, baklava and toast. It's all made in-house, it's all delicious and best of all, it's all affordable and served with a smile. The decor itself is blue themed, reflecting the family's Greek heritage? Possibly, I'm not sure but it's definitely warm, inviting and pretty adorable. The lamps made from old mixer heads is definitely a cool touch although the place isn't all that big and seating can be hard to get. Especially on the weekends when the place is pretty much packed all day. As far as their coffe goes, their organic blend is terrific. Some of the best I've had and it's pretty smooth as well and doesn't have much bitterness to it. I've had their macchiato, their mocha, their cappuccino and it all came out great. Their barista knows his stuff and does some neat designs on the milk foam as well. I'm trying very hard to find negative things to say about this place but there really isn't anything that I can think of. Maybe the fact that there's only street parking? Meh, I can walk there so it's no issue for me. Their $5 minimum to pay by card is also pretty awesome. Honestly, this place rocks and it looks like they are here to stay, which is pretty terrific. read more

Love, love, love! This place couldn't be any more adorable, and all the treats we shared were amazing. My friend Emily and I came in on part of our epic walk and decided splitting some things was more than deserved. We shared the gingerbread muffin, the goat scone, and the village sandwich. The sandwich consisted of roasted sweet potato, arugula, goat cheese, sundried tomato, a honey & olive oil drizzle, atop 7 grain bread. It was delicious, though I would absolutely suggest either pulling the guts out of the sundried tomato because the skin was too tough and not really chewable. It was good flavor, just not functional too eat. The goat scone wasn't too heavy, which was my concern, but it was light and flaky. The gingerbread was so good-rich in flavor and very moist. I suspect there was some sort of fruit puree in there to make it so moist. The decor is so cute, and the space was small but clean and not awkwardly set up. I like the open kitchen, and that the bathroom is really clean. Coffee shops should have EXCELLENT bathrooms, and this one does. Kudos to 3 Little Figs for having pre-wrapped goodies at the counter, as well as the case of baked goods-the cookies were hard to resist sitting there. I saw them refill the baked good case as we were there and everything looks fantastic. Maybe I should take six mile walks every Sunday to justify eating lunch here....hmmmmm. read more

This is literally my favorite bakery of all time. In my opinion, it's even better than SF's Tartine *GASP* ! I'm not much of a pastry person, but Figs has me hooked. What I love about this place is that it's consistently amazing and they always come up with new, super creative menu items. Their muffins are damn good. I've tried their Chai Muffin, French Toast Muffin and their Sugar Donut Muffin. They are all just done so well. The Chai has a delicious espresso icing that is really really strong. The French Toast looks adorable and tastes even better. The Donut muffin is verrry heavy! Not my thing, but if you're into heavy pastries then go for it. My favorite thing to get here? LAVENDER BISCUIT ($3.25)!!! You have not lived until you've tried it. It can do no wrong. The icing with the soft biscuit holds an incredible lavender flavor. The essence it amazing! I get it every time :) They've also got a great assortment of sandwiches. I always get the Market, which has prosciutto, goat cheese, fig jam and tomatoes. It is AMAZING! I always get the half size ($5) so I can save room for a pastry. My friends have tried the Egg and Feta and rave about it! Overall, all their sandwiches have really high quality ingredients. Just wish they had more seating here because it's always packed. But that won't stop me from coming back :) read more

I love everything about this cafe. From their cold brew to matcha honey latte to their amazing baked goods and sandwiches. Figs is always bumping with people no matter the tome of day, but the excellent service means it never feels chaotic or stressful. Not a good place to work - laptops are not allowed on weekends and no wifi- but thats ok - keeps the small cafe manageable. The dirty chai muffin is amazing with espresso glaze that is not too sweet. I also recommend any of their gluten free cakes - never grainy- never too sweet. The matcha honey latte has just the right intensity of matcha flavor that is not palate ruining but still strong and earthy. The yogurt is amazing - from Sophia's greek pantry made with goat and sheeps milk - definitely best yogurt I have ever had. And try the affogato made with honeycomb creamery ice-cream and fresh espresso. It is DIVINE. read more

4.5 stars Though the roster for breakfasty & savory items are on the lean side, 3 Little Figs is well-equipped with baked goods, caffeinated drinks, & to-die-for sweets like toast & fig jam. Those interested in fresh & local will be thrilled to know their ingredients all hail from MA, except Gimmie! coffee, which is from NY. I love their egg & feta sandwich on brioche. That little bit of arugula & sliced tomato makes it so fresh & healthy-tasting. I only liked the top of their lavender biscuit--the part covered in icing & slivered almonds. Tasted especially scrumptious when washed down with an earl grey iced tea. The flakey center is a bit dense & doesn't have enough lavender flavor. An amazing neighborhood cafe--so glad I stumbled upon it while on my morning walk last weekend. read more

After eating here, I felt like I had missed the punchline to a joke that everyone else got. 3 Little Figs seems to be going for the layout of a coffee shop with a Greek-themed brunch menu. Even though they're successful at combining the two concepts, they're not successful at making it work. The place is nice enough, albeit a little crammed, but it's the food I had the biggest problem with. Take my dish for example, the lox on toast. To be fair, it was extremely fresh and the plating was impeccable. But it had yogurt on it. Yogurt belongs in a marinade, sauce, or as a dip. It doesn't belong under my capers and lox. The flavor wasn't awful but it lacked the smooth texture of cream cheese that holds everything together. I may be a barbarian, hell, I KNOW I'm a barbarian, but I didn't like it and gave up halfway through. My girlfriend and her girlfriend ordered the brunch bowl and the egg and feta sandwich respectively. I can't speak for the friend but my girlfriend wasn't jumping out of her seat either. The afore-mentioned punchline that I think I missed is that 3 Little Figs is trying to provide a relatively healthy brunch menu. If so, they need to figure out how to make the flavors of their food come alive. Most importantly, they need to take it easy with the yogurt. There's yogurt on the B.L.T. for Christ's sake. At least for the lox, they should use cream cheese. They're not afraid to use feta and cheddar so cream cheese shouldn't disrupt the theme. Rye isn't the best choice of bread for lox. It's been known to happen but so has genocide. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. Finally, leave the capers on and banish the cucumbers to the side salad. Contrasting textures don't work with every dish and this is one of them. Despite lox on toast being full of soft, pillowy textures, the crunch of cukes is nevertheless unwelcome. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with the food from a technical standpoint. Everything was cooked and assembled how it should have been but it was remarkably lackluster nevertheless. It was the food equivalent of a kid coloring by number: Even if the kid stays inside the lines and does it right, the result isn't exactly Rembrandt. Like deadlifting, this place is trendy because it's trendy, not because it does much good. read more

When other Yelp reviewers said there was a long line, it's not that I didn't believe them, I just couldn't imagine it. I got there, and there were five people standing outside in a line. I peeked inside and it was bustling and crowded. I'm not a fan of standing in line at all, but something told me this place was worth it. After 10 minutes of standing in line (the line moved fast), I ordered my stuff: a market sandwich and a lavender biscuit. I got my biscuit immediately. After five minutes of waiting, I got my sandwich. I was a bit crestfallen when I walked half an hour to the library, sat down, and finally munched on my market sandwich. I think it would've been better if the cafe had removed a significant amount of the fig jam that was glazed on top of the prosciutto. In parts of the sandwich that had little to no fig jam, I loved it. I also didn't like the consistency of the sandwich--it was rather hard for me to bite and chew. The lavender biscuit was pretty good as well, particularly in places with icing on top. It had a very subtle lavender flavor, but in places with icing, I found myself eating more and more of it. I would love to dunk it in some milk even though it was relatively moist. read more

One of the best coffee/ breakfast places around!!! Service to the table by friendly staff. Some nice tables outside and arriving before 9:30 on Sunday morning was great to get a quick seat! Lavender biscuit was really good! Subtle flavor but you can still taste it and goes really well with almonds. The biscuit has a nice texture too! Market sandwich with flat cheese and fig jam was delicious!! The bread was incredible!!! Crunchy crust with a nice chew in the middle. Egg and fetta with bacon. Really good!! The softest roll ever. I can say it was so light that you don't even feel you are eating an egg and bacon sandwich. Coffee was really good too!!! Lemon ice tea was acidity to the point! read more

What took me so long to finally stop by? What a great little cafe/bakery this is. Friendly staff, great service. Simple fresh ingredients combine to create magic. At 3 little figs, 2 items reign supreme: -Egg feta sandwich. There is absolutely no way that it is this simple. I've had egg, and I've had feta, and together they shouldn't be this good!! Yes it is a little salty, if that isn't your thing, I'll be happy to help you finish it. -Lavender biscuit. I have no words for this, therefore I will tell a story(100% true). As I was eating this biscuit, I realized it would be completely immoral if my wife didn't have a taste of this heavenly baked good. I bagged half of it to go. Two blocks later I realized I left it behind. I rushed back to the cafe only to find it was already gone. Well played..... whoever you are. Not only is this worth stealing, but I wouldn't even blame you if you ate my half eaten biscuit. It's that good!!!! The one negative? I also had the spanakopita and it was not at all flaky, which is a crucial attribute. That being said, I shall return for my biscuit, and this time it's leaving in my belly lol read more

3 Little Figs has created the perfect sandwich. Rustic bread, fig jam, prosciutto, tomato, arugula and goat cheese. Sweet, salty, bitter, creamy, tart. A perfect balance of all these flavors, the Market sandwich has become something I crave. The Market is not the only good thing about 3LF for sure. Their coffee is amazing, one of the few places where I can drink a cappuccino without adding any sugar. On my first visit in fact, I drank my cappuccino and my friend's. Actually, I shouldn't say drank, I should say guzzled. The baked goods are so fanciful, like the olive oil citrus cake or the french toast muffin. None of them are overly sweet, but just right. The cafe is very cute inside, with little tables and a relaxed vibe. The kind of place where I could hang out all day, sampling one baked good after another. Things to remember: $8 minimum for credit cards Only seating for about 15-18 people inside read more

Stayed in the area for the weekend and my host recommended I go to this place for breakfast. The line was long but worth the wait. Their menu is more vegan/vegetarian so if you're looking for a big diner style breakfast, this isn't the place. The food is really good and so is the coffee/latte. There is a no laptop policy for weekends and holidays which helps since the space is limited inside. They recently opened a smoothie shop next door but It would be a good idea if they knocked down that center wall between the two and just committed all that space to the coffee shop instead. read more
