This place is amazing!! I simply love everything about it. I thoroughly enjoyed their food, especially their butter chicken burger and biscoff cake, delicious. The team is a great too and it is well run. A convenient place to work, if you work remotely.

What a little hidden gem. Had brunch and was not disappointed. Food was excellent and not too expensive. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely visit this place again to come and try some of the other dishes that also looks amazing and value for money.

Great food, stunning interior, friendly warm welcome and very well trained staff - a recipe for success. My daughter & I enjoyed a lovely brunch - the veg pita & berry smoothie was the best I have tasted. The pastries were equally delicious. Will definitely be back!

I have never been disappointed by any meal had from the Fig Leaf. Their food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and when I call in for a take-out they already know what my order is! Never mind the fact that it is pet friendly as well. Always nice for the doggies to come along!

We were in town for business for the day and stopped by The Fig Leaf for an early breakfast. We arrived 30 minutes before they officially opened, and they still welcomed us with open arms and sat us down. We met John, the owner’s father, and he was so kind and took great care of us. The coffee was delicious and brewed well. And the food was amazing and we finished our plates. I can highly recommend them for breakfast and coffee. They deserve their high rating.

When you don't drive in certain areas sometimes you miss a hidden gem. This particular spot has changed names quite a few times over the years. It has now been taken over by Jessica, a young entrepreneur with a quirky coffee spot. The decor is simple, bright and modern with a bit of fun in it. Love the coffee cups and enjoy my Cappuccino with cream. Food options vary, and have something different for every kind of taste. I had the Peri Peri Powerhouse gourmet sandwich (grilled deboned thighs, in a Peri peri sauce, creamy peri sauce, red onions, mixed greens and halloumi) It was delicious, but i didn't find it as hot, but rather tasty. We also ordered the On the go breakfast (bacon, eggs and toast), and Omelett which was quite a large portion, and lastly a South of the 'US' border Benedict. They sell a special red and green Chilli sauce. Let me know when you figure put what they've done. Our waitress Fikile was so sweet, told her I might be back for "another one" #TheFoodMusketeer #TheFoodMusketeerEats #TheFoodMusketeerDrinks #TheFoodMusketeerTravels #TFMTheFigleaf

If I knew this little gem of a coffee bar was so close to home, I would have been here sooner. I absolutely loved my berry and banana breakfast bowl. Ingredients were super fresh and healthy. The jam doughnut I had was a real treat of naughtiness. My cafe Latte was fantastic. This is the place to come to after your morning shopping or just a weekday treat.
