Mint lemonade and biscoff coffee
Greg V.

This place is huge! Super clean and sharp interior. Feels very clean and modern. My gf and I stopped in for coffee and so she could show me the "giant stuffed croissants" and boy was she right. The croissants were HUGE! As big as my face. I definitely want to try them on a cheat day. As it was we ordered a biscoff latte and a mint lemonade. Personally, I didnt like the lemonade (gf loved it) but the biscoff latte was super decadent and delicious. It was supposed to be hers but I ended up drinking all of it while she polished off the lemonade. I will be back for one of their sweets, and soon!

Ambiance was great! Nice seating area. Even some comfy chairs for long chats. Coffee was good as well. The only draw back- there were 3 baristas behind the counter and 3 people in front of us in line and it took about 10 mins to order and 6-8 more to get the coffee. Don't stop if you're in a hurry. But definitely consider it if you're looking for a leisurely coffee and chat with a friend.

Biscoff Roll

Clean restaurant, friendly staff; the lattes were very rich a mouthful of Nutella and fig. Pastries were massive; one could have sufficed for the 4 of us. Cream on the inside of pastries tastes the same regardless of flavor. Overall, good experience, just too rich.

Came here frequently before because it's very family-oriented & the desserts are always great. They changed the entire inside recently and it no longer really caters to the remote work café crowd. Just an FYI to be mindful if you were planning to come work/study for a while.

Hazelnut and chocolate roll
Melissa D.

This was my second time here. Ordered the hazelnut and chocolate roll and a Samoa latte. The roll was good but overwhelming and the coffee was just ok. I should have ordered a drip coffee to offset the sweetness of the roll.

I was interested in desserts here. The menu board on the wall does not include any of the desserts. I asked about it and they said that the dessert menu was separate, but there wasn't a menu and there was not a label for what most of the items were so I had to ask what many of them were. I see on previous reviews that there were labels so I'm not sure what was going on the day that I went. I wasn't met with much explanation when explaining it was my first time and curious as to what the desserts were. I went with a blueberry cheese danish. It was $6.65. I think it was steep for what it was. There was more pastry than cheese or blueberry flavoring. I would've liked a more even ratio.

I'm so glad I stopped by Fig and Olive. The place is spacious, and there's this calm energy that makes it perfect for hanging out, studying, or just taking a break from the day. Can't go wrong with that and their good service. The pastries are amazing. They're serious standouts and I recommend the cheese danish or the pistachio filled cookie. You can tell they're made just right because they strike that perfect balance between rich and not too sweet. Their iced lattes are also GOOD! Overall, this place feels like one of those hidden gems you stumble upon and immediately want to tell your friends about. Great coffee, delicious pastries, and a cozy, open space. It's also next to an amazing restaurant, Nazareth Bread. I'll definitely be back.

Pistachio Spanish latte without whipped cream
Marietta C.

Stumbled upon this gem while visiting Greensboro and had no idea what I was in for! When you walk in, it doesn't look like a cutesy, trendy, coffee shop. However, the space was filled with locals and lots of people! While waiting in line, they made it hard to order since there were so many great options. A local person that was also in line ended up highly recommending the Pistachio Spanish latte and OMG I'm so happy I took her offer! This latte lives rent free in my mind. WHY? Because the sides are covered with crunchy pistachio cream and every time you sip, you not only get the delicious espresso flavor but also the presence of pistachio. 10/10 would recommend! If you're looking for a baked good or a drinkable treat, this is the place to go!

PISTACHIO LATTE (LESS SWEET)
Shawna B.

I finally got to visit the Fig and Olive Cafe. The Space is very large and everything appeared to be clean. You don't really get the normal cafe smell of coffee and pastries when walking in. The staff was very friendly and was able to accommodate me when I asked if they could make the drinks less sweet. They had two display cases of pastries and I had my eyes on the large stuffed croissants. I was also looking for the Napolian but they did not have any today. I will be back when they have some in stock. The coffee was so good, not too acidic, more of a earthy nutty flavor and paired well with the pistachio foam. I did not ask if they had other milk choices but I imagine it would be just as good with nut milk. The Fig and honey croissant- chefs kiss! I did put it in the air fryer to crisp up a bit when I got home. The filling was fresh and creamy. They do make all their pastries in house, which is a plus. I will most definitely be back! Ciao for now.

Very sturdy packaging
Katie N.

Great selection of beverages and pastries items. Order and pick up service. Offers toasting services if you want to eat immediately. Very charming atmosphere. Quick service!

Coffee time on this lovely Friday

After leaving Best Buy to ordered the new Apple Neo.. I was in the mood for some good pistachio coffee! This place is such a hidden gem. The drink speaks for itself. Top with pistachio switch whole milk for oat milk. Pair so well with the chesse danish. Thay did warm it up for me. I had to take some pistachio baklava to go for later, looks to good to leave behind lol. I was very pleased with my drink! Plenty of parking up front and on the side of the building. Also a restaurant to the left of the cafe shop. Definitely will be back when I'm in town.

After lunch, we decided on a sweet treat, and my wife was excited to introduce me to the dessert offerings at Fig and Olive. She's had the pleasure of trying their desserts a couple of times in the past and insisted I experience them for myself. She first heard about them through Yelp, where their stuffed croissants and New York rolls had been getting lots of attention. Fig and Olive shares a space with Nazareth Bread Co. and Restaurant, which we haven't tried yet--but now it's definitely on our list. As we approached the counter, we were greeted by a friendly and helpful young woman. My wife chose the chocolate-stuffed, chocolate hazelnut New York roll, and I went with a chocolate-stuffed chocolate chip cookie. We decided to eat in, and our desserts were beautifully plated so we could sit and enjoy them. Oh my... My wife was quickly reminded just how incredibly good the New York rolls are, and I thoroughly enjoyed my cookie. We're grateful to have the option to stop in--but also a little relieved that Fig and Olive isn't closer to home, because we'd be far too tempted to indulge more often. Highly recommend!

This was my third time at Fig & Olive cafe and it's a huge hit every time I visit! Connected to their sister restaurant Nazareth Bread, their space is very open and inviting. Their baristas are super friendly and prompt with taking your order. I've tried several of the croissant rolls - Biscoff, fig and honey, cinnamon roll, pistachio. Each one was massive and stuffed to the brim. I'm usually disappointed with the ratio of cream to pastry but these guys have it just right! Their baklava is also something to rave about. They have several different kinds and all are fabulous. I have only ever gotten the Biscoff coffee latte because it's hard to get anything else - bold coffee flavor, sweet Biscoff flavor, and garnished to the brim with whipped cream, cookie crumbles, and a whole cookie! With the creative pastry options paired with their delicious coffees, this spot will definitely continue to be my go to when in the market street area!

Been to this place a few times and had a pretty decent experience. This was years ago but I…read moreremember when they used to have singers come out and do little performance once a week and my friends would invite me out to watch their friends perform. I remember the vibes were pretty welcoming. I have gone once since then but during the day and the vibes were pretty chill and low-key but nothing too crazy. Just a typical experience but also a really good college outing memory. The matcha I had from there wasn't particularly my favorite but they used to keep their espresso machine up at night during the performance, I'm not completely sure if I remember correctly if they sold liquor or alcohol but the drink that I did have from there the first time I went was pretty good. The ambiance is pretty normal for greensboro, I feel like almost every establishment you walk in, there will be cracked floors but I just remember the staff was pretty awesome and as far as pastries, they had a pretty good variety and gluten free options and other food sensitivity options. I believe a few years ago, I recall an episode of "Catfish" where Nev and Max also visited this place so that was pretty interesting to experience that but honestly a pretty decent place.

Really liked the aesthetic and all of the art pieces hung up. All of the drinks are named after famous celebrities. I got the Leo DiCaprio with less sweetener, but wish I noticed the seasonal drinks before I ordered because they all sounded really good. The barista was pretty nice as well.

I was on a walk this morning and I noticed that I was near Borough Coffee. I had been wanting to…read morecheck out this place for quite sometime now, I just never had the time to do it. But today was the day! As soon as you show up, you know this isn't your typical coffee shop. The outside of the place looks like it could be an Inn in the neighborhood (which who knows maybe it was at one point.) The vibe inside gives off quiet workspace/library, and definitely gives off the lobby of an Inn (think Gilmore Girls.) There was some people scattered around but I didn't take a deep look inside since I was just passing by. I ordered my ice vanilla latte. The first thing I remember realizing was that it wasn't very sweet. Which is not a bad thing, sometimes they can be made really sweet other times they can be not so sweet. This latte was in the middle. I could taste the creaminess from the oat milk too. I would definitely check this place out again and try out some of their other drinks that they offer. I would even like to stay in and work inside and see more of the environment inside.

Borough Coffee is in an absolutely gorgeous building -- previously a B&B. The various 1st floor…read morerooms have cozy seating scattered throughout, and it seems like it would be a fantastic place to work or study. Though most seats were filled when I visited, it was super quiet, like a library. I felt a little uncomfortable having a conversation, afraid of bothering others. I'm not sure if it's always that quiet or not. Street parking is somewhat limited, but there is a church with a parking lot just across the street. That said, I visited on Easter, so the church lot was full, but we were still able to find a spot to parallel park at the end of the street. They serve a decent variety of coffee and other drinks, but have a limited food/pastry menu. I got an iced lavender vanilla latte with oat milk, which is something I order at a lot of places. Sometimes, the lavender tastes so artificial it reminds me of eating soap -- I think certain brands of syrup taste better than others. That was not the case here. I don't know what brand they use, but it must be one of the better ones, because it tasted mild and delicious. Both lavender and vanilla came through. The espresso was smooth and not bitter. The ratios of everything were great as well -- not too much oat milk but not too little -- the perfect latte.
