A good neighborhood coffee shop with a variety of coffee and tea drinks, pastries, and sandwiches. The chocolate zucchini cake was excellent - super moist and rich in flavor. The pepper biscuit breakfast sandwich was good, though a little under seasoned for me. The chia pudding was also good, but a little over-sweet. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, would recommend as a solid local option for a casual breakfast or lunch.
My order: Egg and Feta on gluten free bread, iced coffee, blueberry muffin (GF), matcha latte The Review: Headed to 3 Little Figs for a weekday morning breakfast with the fam. The vibes were great and the staff were really nice. The sandwiches were loved by all. There were options for everyone and tons of gluten free things. We followed it up with a little walk on the Somerville community path, and once we worked up an appetite, we had a crazy idea to go back for pastries and another drink! The iced matcha with soy milk was perfect on a hot day. If we can go twice in one morning, then it's a given that we will be back for more.
Stopped by for a smoothie and some sandwiches to go and really enjoyed everything! Vibe: Small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, note that there is additional indoor seating if you go back towards the kitchen and over. Service: Fairly quick while they were pretty busy Food: Pepper biscuit breakfast sandwich - was a small but dense and delicious breakfast. Market sandwich - delicious balance of ingredients, solid portion Chocolate shake - this was SO yummy and you wouldn't even know it had sweet potato in it! Value: Prices were good for the quality and quantity of food. Overall I loved everything I got and would definitely recommend and return again!
Cute little brunch spot! They are very busy and the space is small, so smaller groups are preferable. Really enjoyed their lemon cake - it was moist with a strong kick of lemon zest. The market sandwich's fig jam was a nice sweet contrast to the salty prosciutto. I only wish the bread wasn't cold and there was less goat cheese. Matcha lattes were pretty average. Staff were nice. The line moved quick and they were helpful with their recommendations.
Such a great spot!! Coffee is always perfect and all the baked goods are soo tasty! My favourite is the strawberry jam bar! Today I got a cortado and the pepper biscuit with cheese and egg! The sandwich was very tasty!
3 Little Figs is a cute cafe! It was super busy when I stopped in, but the line moved quickly. The staff is really nice too. I got the pepper biscuit, which was good but pretty average, and in my opinion not worth $8.00.
There has always been a long line out the door here when we've walked by on weekends, and our visit was no different. Luckily, the line moved pretty fast, and we also got our food pretty quickly after. We originally wanted to dine in, but it was so crowded inside from the constant flow of people ordering and waiting near the counter that we decided to take out instead. "The market" sandwich (prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula, and fig jam on focaccia) was a perfect mix of sweet and salty flavors and a great portion size for just $11. The egg and feta breakfast sandwich (scrambled eggs, tomato, arugula, and feta on a brioche bun) was a lot smaller and less unique in flavors, but also good value at $7. I would come back for the market sandwich again and order ahead online for pickup!
Saturday morning was definitely a busy time to go, but we loved our experience here!! We came at the recommendation of multiple friends (one of which claimed this place houses the best barista-- EVER) This isn't a huge space, but they have a no computer rule, meaning people aren't lingering for forever which is nice! Sandwiches were yummy (excellent pepper biscuit) and the lavender biscuit was standout!! The black drip coffee had a fruity end note, but great complex flavor. The cortado, made to perfection, and the cold brew was nice as well! Pricing was reasonable for the area! All in all, we will be back!
Super cute spot! Entering, it smells like freshly-ground coffee. Hard to find a seat on the weekend because it's so good. Even a simple toast is next-level tasty here.
Absolutely deserving of the Best Cafe in Somerville title! The line can be daunting but the staff work hard to keep it flowing and delivery high quality food and drinks! I doubt I'll ever be disappointed on any future visits. Food: The drinks were very refreshing and a great wake up jolt of caffeine. I was intrigued by the espresso soda and I was not disappointed. It was such a nice blend of fruity flavors that slide perfectly into a familiar coffee taste. The sweet ricotta toast and the egg cheddar sandwich were amazing! The sourdough and ciabatta were the stars and their great bready textures made for perfect vehicles. Service: The staff worked like a well oiled machine but still offered great hospitality! Atmosphere: The popularity does cause the cafe to be busy but everyone was very respectful of one another's space so it wasn't an overwhelming crowd. The decorations also added to the energetic atmosphere.
Amazing sandwiches with fresh made breads. I got the market sandwich and swapped out the prosciutto for turkey. I love the flavor combination of everything and it was a perfect ratio of filling to bread. Amazing portions especially for the price. Would definitely recommend!
Love love love 3 Little Figs. Stop in for a warm drink, a warm smile and a delicious treat. Their chia pudding is definitively creative, delicious and balanced with a creamy flavor, and fluffy texture. Their bean selection is ensured with joy and lattes radiate grace and delicate balance. I find the inside to be cozy and welcoming, the outside is deliciously wonderful to sit at in the sunshine. The team are wonderfully kind with friendly service. My friends have tried their sandwiches and always rave about the focaccia - I have yet to try the granola but let me know if you do, I consider it each time. Big fan!

3 Little Figs is just one of those places that will always hit the spot! They truly have some of the best coffee I've found in the Greater Boston area. Their pumpkin spice latte during the fall is ESPECIALLY fantastic--one of the best I've found. I also love their egg cheddar sandwich. The harissa is the perfect addition, and it's such a yummy, hearty sandwich that makes for a great breakfast. 3 Little Figs will always be a Somerville neighborhood institution, and for good reason!!! read more

I came here on a whim and arrived to a small line but crowded cafe. They had their menus high up on the walls with traditional coffee beverages, tea, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and a yogurt menu. I was sad to not see any specialty coffee/lattes. Although, the iced coffee and cold brew were good. The breakfast sandwich was the star of the show though, the Egg & Feta sandwich was perfectly balanced with greens, feta, fluffy egg and delicious bread. I was happy to see they had a few tables outside because inside was crowded and I was there alone and didn't want to take up an entire indoor table. read more

Affordable, tasty, & Boston metro area aren't usually in any of my sentences together, yet for the quality of their food & service, 3 Little Figs delivers on all three! I had a scratch made biscuit breakfast sandwich and a brewed coffee for $10, which was a great way to start my day. Lunch sandwiches are $10 and looked delicious as well. I'll definitely return next time I'm in Somerville! read more
One of the best breakfast sandwiches in Boston! The team at three little figs executes breakfast / brunch classics to perfection. We had the sausage breakfast sandwich with a flaky black pepper biscuit, juicy and flavorful sausage patty, and just the right amount of cheese. I would eat this everyday if I could. The strawberry rhubarb bun was just out of the oven and paired perfectly. Attentive service staff and a cozy space. I would recommend ordering online, which has always been the fastest path to food for us. read more

Very happy with my visit here. The cafe itself is small and cozy. Not many tables so if you come on a weekend, be prepared to wait. Both indoor and outdoor seating (while the weather is still decent at least). I ordered the egg & feta sandwich. It came on a brioche bun with egg, spinach, and a feta spread (I ordered mine without tomato). The eggs were fluffy and light, the brioche bun was soft and airy, and the feta spread was delicious and added a lot of flavor. To drink I ordered the cortado, which was good as well. (Note that you can't mobile order hot drinks for some reason.) I mobile ordered so I can't comment on the service except to say that my order was completed quite quickly considering how busy they were. read more
This is a must stop any time you're in the area! The first time I came here was immediately after a terrible cross country red eye back in 2018 before a full day of driving and meetings and it was the perfect place to get a breather. I've been a fan ever since. The staff are always nice and the service is fast. It's a bright clean space, although it's fairly small so when it's busy you might have to wait if you want to sit down. The coffees are good, and the food is delicious. On our most recent visit I got the BLT for the first time and would recommend it as a must try! read more
Enjoyed a super cute late breakfast here this past weekend! I was expecting it to be packed considering it was right around lunch ish time, but was pleasantly surprised! It was pretty crowded and you do need to be vigilant to grab a table during busy times. The food, coffee, and vibes were excellent! I got the pepper biscuit and my friend got the egg feta sandwich. We both got lattes mine hot and my friend's iced. The biscuit sandwich was delicious and I loved the biscuit- it was soft and buttery and flaky. The latte was also lovely. This has been on my list of places to visit and I'm so glad I got the chance. Will be back to try other items on the menu again!! read more
Everything is delicious! The Pepper Biscuit Sandwich packs a lot of flavor with light fluffy eggs on flaky buttery biscuit. Even better with bacon and tomato! Easy online ordering with separate entrance for online orders! read more
So, so good. One of those places that makes me wish I lived a bit closer, within walking distance. We came right around the brunch rush but if you're willing to wait around for a few minutes, chances are good you'll snag some seats inside or one of the tables outside. Though the menu of options is on the smaller side, everything is fresh and made from scratch. Had to try both a sweet and a savory option, and went with the market sandwich (with fig jam, goat cheese, prosciutto, arugula on ciabatta) and the apple cider donut muffin. The sandwich was delicious, all the flavors melding (come on, there's no way that particular combination is not going to work), and while I think it might have worked better on sourdough, the ciabatta held everything together well, with nothing falling out. The donut muffin was also tasty, if very messy to eat - the sugar crystals sprayed everywhere. I loved the cake-y texture, though the actual apple cider flavor didn't really shine through. The egg sandwiches looked so good! Would try the pepper biscuit next time. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the mood for breakfast/brunch. No WiFi and no computers allowed. read more
I first tried 3 Little Figs during the summertime even it was hot outside, we went a bit past noon into the brunch service. The restaurant is a small neighborhood breakfast stop located in Somerville, MA. There is street parking on both sides of Highland Ave. My family ended parking about two blocks away since it was Sunday morning and the moment we got to the restaurant, the place was already so packed. Only outdoor seating remained and the sun was scorching. We changed for indoor seating the moment we saw it became available. The interior is very small. Not meant for groups larger than four as you will struggle with finding tables. I really enjoyed their sandwiches and because I missed breakfast, I ordered three. I ordered the turkey apple brie, the market sandwich, and the ham and cheese for the kids. I purposely listed them in my order of preference with the turkey, apple, brie sandwich being my favorite. I love there thick cut slices of sandwich bread. I would totally drop by for a sandwich, grab and go kind of thing if I was in the area. The famous lavender scone is huge! Larger than expected and worth the trip. The cappuccino and coffee was a no for me though. I'll have to go to Starbucks. Dropping one star because there was hair in the Greek yogurt specialty that I ordered. The server apologized and went to the kitchen. Less than a minute later she came back out with the same bowl of yogurt, the hair removed. Did she just plucked it out with her hands? She came back out in less than a minute which makes me doubt that this was a new yogurt that was brought out since I had asked for diced strawberries and they were sold of of strawberries smoothies after my order was put in. I am very disappointed. I wouldn't judge the entire restaurant by the action of one but that put a damper on the whole experience. I doubt I will be coming back soon. And it's now fall since I have been there during the summertime. I wasn't rushing to right a review because of this one experience. See my pictures! read more

AWESOME. Prosciutto, goat cheese, fig jam, arugula on focaccia is absolutely heavenly. Somewhat a common combination but I don't see cafes with this kind of sandwich often. The savory ricotta toast was also top tier. I was a bit hesitant to try it since I associate ricotta with sweet, but I went out of my comfort zone. The latte was also solid. It was very busy, with the line out the door, but we luckily got a table inside away from the heat. The place is also small so you're definitely bumping shoulders but it wasn't too much of a bother given that everyone in the shop seemed to be in a good mood for weekend brunch. read more

The spot around here (East Somerville) for coffee & vegan (& not) breakfast, sweet bakery items and smoothies. Very competent people, good vibe, even found a spot right in front. Vegan Ciabatta Breakfast Sandy was a home run, edgy flavors! Same with banana ginger muffin, so interesting and delish. Cappuccino NICE Cider muffins look GR8. read more

3 Little Figs is an adorable cafe and a perfect spot for weekend brunch for people who live in the neighborhood. Currently, there is no indoor dining available and with limited outdoor seating. Their options on menu were decent from hot sandwiches, breakfast bowls to pastries. We had their Apple Cider Donut Muffin, Fig & Pear Scone and 2 lattes. We were a little disappointed with their pastries because both were not so good and dry with cheap texture. However, their hot sandwiches looked pretty appealing, most people got one, so we think we might have made a wrong choice. read more
I came here for breakfast at about noon. The cafe is set up really cute, with an outdoor covered seating area, and they take your order at the window. They have a table with plastic ware and water outside, and a water bowl if you're walking by with your pup! My friend ordered an egg & feta sandwich, with bacon added. He said it was amazing. I ordered the peppered biscuit sandwich but since they were out of biscuits, I opted for the brioche and it was out of this world. Seriously, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Fresh, cheddar cheese, fluffy peppered eggs and a buttery brioche roll. I asked for salt & pepper on the side, and I was pleased that they use Himalayan pink salt! We ordered the sweet ricotta toast, with whipped ricotta on some delicious, thick toast with cinnamon and honey on top, which was the first time either of us tried it, and it was phenomenal. I'm obsessed! He ordered an iced Mocha, and I got the iced London Fog latte, and I could taste that everything is of the highest quality. I can't wait to come back. No hesitation, check them out! This place is amazing, and so close! read more
If you want an affordable filling meal, sweet treat, or somewhere to get your caffeine fix, 3 Little Figs checks all the boxes! I came on a Wednesday around 12:30 and it wasn't insanely crowded but there was definitely a line and people waiting for tables inside. I ordered online which you pickup at a separate door. It was ready pretty quickly (10-15 min). They have a great ordering system and pickup area. There were a few small tables in the online area that weren't taken so I would pop over there if it's crowded in the main room! Nice menu, wide selection of baked goods, sandwiches, drinks, etc. The pepper biscuit sandwhich was great. Definitely a step or two above your average breakfast sandwich. I really loved the pepper flavor in the biscuit which was perfectly flaky and doughy in the center. Eggs were cooked nicely, super fluffy. And it was only $8 ($6 without the addition of bacon)! Was intrigued by the apple donut muffin so had to give that a try too. Tasted exactly how it sounds. The perfect morning treat! I was a little worried about parking when coming here but there were actually plenty of 2 hr spots close to the cafe. Overall, super cute place, would recommend! read more
Amazing breakfast/brunch place. Highly recommend and the cashier was super nice. A good variety of pastries. I got the chai muffin but there were other wacky flavors that you wouldn't find at other bakeries. Cold brew was good. I got the black pepper biscuit with a sausage for $8 which isn't bad. The biscuit was a little drier than I would've liked but the taste and freshness was there. The biscuit came with cheese and scrambled egg. I added on the sausage for $2 (originally the sandwich is $6) and it was good but nothing special. Parking is a bit weird cause you need to street park and the inside is kind of packed most times cause there isn't a lot of seating. Don't bring your laptop to do work because this is not that type of coffee shop. Will be back to try the other menu items. read more
