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

Love this place Easy best coffee in Somerville, Baristas are great - especially the women in charge around here Love that they feature great roasters like tiny arms ‍ I have a usual here and I always want to like it but lately I just get it for the pure reason of having something in my belly before the day . The pepper biscuit with sausage: Biscuit is great , but the sausage is always so tough and dry - given its a small piece of protein I assume the heat shrinks it . Idk - nonetheless , dry around the edges . read more

3 Little Figs - Pepper Biscuit Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

The coffee was good. I'd definitely recommend this type of coffee for those who like strong coffee. It's not the best coffee but it's decent and enjoyable. I had the cold brew with oat milk and a banana muffin. The banana muffin was actually really really good! The service was also friendly. It was packed when I went but was still able to find seating. The ambiance was kind of lack luster. read more

Decided to check out this place for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it was great! The staff was very nice and all the food we tried was excellent. The Pepper Biscuit was one of the better biscuits I've had and the Spinach Pie hit the spot. We had no issues finding a place to sit even during Saturday morning. read more

Yum! A very cute and cozy cafe within walking distance of Harvard University. The drinks and food are prepared fresh and with a lot of care! Patrons are discouraged from using computers, so this may not be the ideal place to study for harried students. However, for a relaxing morning, this is an ideal place to be! read more

I come here for the LAVENDER SCONES. I'm sure everything else on the menu is delicious (I've heard the sandwiches are great), but my absolute must is the lavender scone. It is about the size of your palm, good enough for one person. It has a nice crisp on the outside, moist on the inside, and lavender flavor throughout. Love the icing and almond slices on top! I've never had a lavender scone like this anywhere else, which SUCKS because I now live in NY and can't get this fix until I visit Boston a few times a year :( Until next time! read more

Everything was excellent!! I got the egg cheddar and market place sandwich with a cappuccino. Really excellent!

The service and the good was excellent I would definitely recommend this to lace for an outstanding brunch

Such a gem! I like this cafe a lot! This place is small and super busy - it can be hard to find seating either inside or outside, but this place is well worth for both sit in and take out. I had their latte - it was okay, not the best I've ever had because I didn't taste the rich espresso flavor that you typically get. But their chai and london fog lattes are extremely delicious! Both had the right amount of sweetness to them and had strong chai/long fog flavoring to them, which is perfect! I also had the lavender scone/biscuit - an absolute must get because the the lavender flavor is not subtle - it's very apparent and I loved it because if I ask for lavender, I'm not looking for a subtle lavender flavor! Also had the brunch bowl - for what you get, it's a bit overpriced but it was pretty tasty. The poached egg was perfect! Definitely want to come back soon! read more

This place rocks! Everything from the breakfast sandwiches to the regular sandwiches is of the highest quality with wonderful ingredients, fresh bread and generous portions. My wife and I split a $10 turkey and Brie sandwich and both of us felt very content. The pepper biscuit, egg and bacon breakfast sandwich was delicious and similarly generous and of very high quality. You will not regret coming to this place. You will probably become a regular. read more

This is clearly the coffee spot of Somerville. I came with a friend around 11 on a Saturday and the line was out the door. The place is very small, though they do have a decent amount of seating. Their drinks are delicious. I got an ice latte and drank it all within 5 minutes; I could not get enough. My friend had an iced matcha and she felt the same way. I decided to get the pistachio chocolate chip cookie, because it was massive and looked amazing. It was pretty good, I'm not sure how well the pistachios paired with the chocolate. I also bit into what appeared to be a cardamom seed, which was not pleasant. Their other pastries looked really good as well. I understand the hype around this place. This is a spot that people from all over Boston seem to know about and it's definitely a place you should visit if you want a good coffee in Somerville (and maybe even the surrounding area)! read more

Food was good. Service was nice. Atmosphere was ok. Prices were reasonable. Overall a great experience

This place was super adorable. It was a very popular breakfast spot, so it was very busy when we stopped by. The service that we had was a little on the slower side, and the location is really, really small, but the food was amazing. I got a breakfast sandwich with lettuce, bacon, egg and avocado all on a multigrain roll and it just was so phenomenal. All of the flavors came together really nice. I got a cold brew coffee and it wasn't my favorite coffee, but I'm a really picky coffee drinker. A couple of my friends got the cracked pepper biscuit with egg and by the time we were leaving, they were all sold out! I took a small bite and thought that the pepper could be overwhelming, but it really wasn't too bad. Looking at my overall experience, I would definitely take another trip to this location if I'm back in town. The food was just so fresh and the quality was great. read more

Our favorite nearby cafe! It's the non brunch brunch place that pleasantly surprises. The breakfast sandwich options are tasty, the coffee is great, there's plenty smoothie or fruit bowl options too so food wise it's a great choice! Our only issues with the place are: 1 it's not really wheelchair or stroller friendly: 2 it's a bit small inside and 3 it closes at 2 pm read more

No laptops allowed, latte is very mid, london fog is just bad, and the service is nothing crazy either. Very disappointed

Very cute spot! It was packed even on a random weekday. The açaí smoothie was good, but not what I had been hoping for. It was like a milder form of an açaí bowl in liquid form, not as flavorful or sweet. The egg and feta sandwich (+prosciutto) was egg-cellent. Tasted healthful but delicious. I'd definitely go back to try a different smoothie or one of their iced lattes in the future! read more

Yummy food, good service, not a lot of places to sit. On the price of your side, but worth it.

Been here a few times and it's become a little quick breakfast go to. Egg sandwich's are tasty and drinks range from good to delicious. Place is usually hoppin and can be packed sometimes. Family friendly and usually has a spot open outside. Good spot if you're in the area. read more

This place was amazing. It is super small and quaint on the inside, perfect for a brunch date, but there is very limited seating. I stopped in for a coffee and some breakfast and took it to go. I got the Greek yogurt with granola and Berry compote, I would go back just for this. It was so fresh and tasted just like a berry crisp- so good!! Their black pepper biscuit with bacon was also yummy! It was absolutely packed in here on a Monday but the service was super quick and efficient. read more

A cute neighborhood cafe that specializes in coffee and breakfast sandwiches. My girlfriend and I tried the egg & feta sandwich and the pepper biscuit , both of us agreeing that the latter was way better. We also had the apple cider donut muffin -- moist and flavorful, but coated in a tad too much sugar. read more

3 Little Figs - Pepper Biscuit ($5.60), Egg & Feta ($5.60), Apple Cider Donut Muffin ($2.80) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

What a nice little breakfast spot! We ordered at the window and got a table around 10am on a Sunday. The sandwiches we all got were delicious (Egg Cheddar, Market Sandwich, Village Sandwich, Pepper Biscuit) and we loved the variety--biscuits, focaccia, ciabatta, yum! I also got the Greek yogurt with honey as a side (quite a small portion if you were ordering it alone), and it was very yummy. Great prices as well! Service was great and we got our food very quickly, even with a bit of a crowd. I also noticed afterwards that you can ask for your food on a plate (I assume a reusable one) if you're sitting at the tables. Definitely would do that next time to save on the to-go boxes! read more

I dig this place. A lot. It's a little less than a mile walk for me, so I like to make the "trek" on early Saturday mornings. And when I say early, I'd say around 8am or so. And when I get there, it's already poppin'. It's a great neighborhood joint and everyone knows it. By 9 or 930, I'd say it's a little harder to find seating - not particularly big inside but still a decent amount of seating. They also have outdoor seating, which means PUPS. Great spot for families as well. They have seasonal items or the usual sandwiches, bowls, or bakery items. Espresso drinks available as well. I'm keen on the pepper biscuit sandwich or the Little Figgy (almond butter, banana, and cinnamon on 7 grain). Wish they had a larger cold brew, but we can't all be perfect. This place is a little close to it though. Definitely a great early morning spot, but I haven't been at other times because it can get a little tight. You'll easily see me there almost every Saturday morning when it's nicer weather. That doesn't mean come say hi, but you can always sit with me in awkward silence. read more

3 Little Figs - the outside of a restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

A bright neighborhood gem. Immaculate latte and I will have dreams about their apple cider donut muffins for a long time.

I hope my review doesn't cause an uproar. You know when everyone tells you that you just have to try a place and that it has the best food ever so you do and then you find out it was over hyped? That's exactly how I feel about 3 Little Figs. Don't get me wrong- the food is good and the staff are the sweetest but I have had better. And when you have had better you simply cannot say it is the best. We have been here a few times. Some things I have ordered here: 1.) Mocha (3.5 stars) 2.) Lox on Toast (3.5 stars) 3.) Egg Biscuit (5 stars) 4.) Turkey Apple Brie (4 stars) My complaints regarding the food: 1.) My issue is the hard rough bread here. The Lox on Toast comes on a rather larger square piece of bread. The bread has hard edges and a soft middle onto which the lox, yogurt and cucumbers sit. In order to get to the lox, you have to scrape the inside of your mouth with the rough hard edges of the bread. I had the same issue with the turkey sandwich. 2.) Why does everything cost so much here when the menu lacks imagination? OK yes, the egg biscuit I tried here was delicious but it also cost ~$7 for a breakfast egg and bacon sandwich. It's not like it had foie gras on it... I mean I'll probably come back here because I live in the area, but this cafe is definitely overrated. read more

Great little spot to stop in for some breakfast. The food is simple of good. I really like the drinks here as well. I recommend the almond smoothie. I slurp it down in less than 5 minutes, only because I catch myself half way through it in seconds haha. The sandwiches are tasty. My favorite one is the one with the sweet potato in it and no meat (I'm a meat eater). Seating is limited, but if you come on a day where the weather is beautiful out you can sit outside at a table. I'm dropping off one star because I've been here 3 times now and have tried a good ports in of the menu. Although the food is good and simple I think there is definitely some room for improvement. read more

Satisfactory cafe food if you're hungry in the area. Line was out the door on a Saturday morning! Egg and feta (6$) had great flavor, but no textural contrast, so it was a bit too soft scrambled egg + soft bread with no crunchy elements. Savory ricotta toast (6$) in contrast didn't really have much flavor and could have used some more salt at least. Apple cider donut (3$) was oddly spherical, which made eating it a bit tricky? However, exactly as expected for an apple cider donut in other respects. read more

Good food for breakfast/lunch. I got cold brew coffee and the middle East bowl which had quinoa, poached eggs, avocado and a savory sauce. The bowl was good, definitely on the larger side like more of a lunch portion. My dining partner enjoyed the market sandwich, it is his favorite item on the menu. Overall the food is good but the restaurant is very small with limited seating for the weekend rush on weekends. I will be visiting again for food when I'm in the area! read more

Cute spot for a stop! Line out the door -- place is hot. The food? Maybe not. 3 Little Figs always pops up on Yelp as one of those hidden gems in the Cambridge / Somerville area. Tucked away in a residential area, it has an allure that takes people away from their classic daily grind of Flour or Starbucks. Although the place is cute, clean, and honestly a pleasure to spend time in, the food is simply mediocre. The coffee is good though! We ordered the egg and feta sandwich, the brunch bowl, and the greek yogurt with blueberries. The brunch bowl was easily the most disappointing: raw spinach lightly dressed, tiny bits of carrot, three (maybe because of 3 Little Figs) walnuts, raisins, and the tiniest poached egg (yup, just one) you ever did see sat atop a bed of flavorless quinoa for a whopping $10. To say unimpressed would be an understatement, especially considering the price and line out the door! Either we just got unlucky with our bowl or the featured menu item is still being piloted. The egg and feta sandwich was pretty good, although $6 is again a hefty price to pay for such a small sandwich and orange slice. Adding Chihula to the sandwich added a level of creaminess the sandwich was unfortunately lacking. The greek yogurt was quite yummy. Thick, creamy, and enough honey to make it the perfect amount of sweet, this was the best part. I'm a fairly generous reviewer, and don't mean to get picky, but I'd only recommend 3 Little Figs to those looking for a very...very... light brunch. This isn't a great place to spend $10 on a meal, but it is a cute stop fora a drink or pastry on a walk. read more

For those into health foods, this is it! I've been into chia puddings, smoothies, and acai bowls for over two years now and have to say that 3 Little Figs stands out. I highly recommend their chia pudding. Come with friends so that you could sample their stuff or come by yourself and get multiple items. You'll love it, I promise. My only complaint is that I don't live closer to this spot - or work anywhere near it because I need more of this in my life. Though, on second thought, maybe it's best for my wallet, as I'm sure that I'd end up having to send my paycheck directly to 3 Little Figs... read more

Let me first start out by saying Somerville is such a happy little city. Everywhere you go there is a different physical manifestation of joy. A parent playing with their kids in a park. Some friends catching up over a meal. It radiates from the streets and everyone can feel it. This little coffee shop is the perfect example of a Somerville gem. This tiny place is intimate but welcoming. Bright and inviting. Perfect food and drink menu. Delicious coffee. Kind and patient staff. Overall a very calming experience to add to the list of reasons i l love Somerville. read more

This neighborhood coffee shop has people spilling out the door for a reason. Everything (that I've tried at least) is made with attention to detail and high quality ingredients. Menu includes toasts, sandwiches, and other specialities. Salmon toast was served on a fluffy piece of bread and a side salad. Latte was perfectly poured. On the pricier side. It's a small space, so no laptops on weekends. read more

Not noticing 3 Little Figs for the 2+ years that I've been taking walks and bike rides right by is one of my biggest regrets. My boyfriend recommended this place because he said that the menu reminded him of me. Man, he was right. I'm in love with 3 Little Figs' menu. Everything on it screams me. That pepper biscuit is delicious! It's smokey and flakey. The bacon was thick. It was all perfect. My boyfriend got the lox toast and that was also amazing. I've had the watermelon lemonade (which was refreshing but a little sweet for me). I've also had the iced lattee with oat milk. This was soo smooth that my boyfriend stole it from me. You can't trust anyone when it comes to coffee. The seating is a little cramped at 3 Little Figs but what can you expect from cafes on Sunday morning?? Over all, the food at 3 Little Figs makes it worth the line out the door. It's the perfect breakfast to grab on your walk through Somerville. read more

As the name so cleverly suggests, this cozy little pastry shop looks like something straight out of a fairytale. It's like Etsy started selling muffins, this is the shop they'd sell them in. And if you think their chalk-drawn menus, glass display of delicately arranged baked goods, and sky blue interior is enough to get me through the door.... you're not wrong. The girl at the front was super friendly and very helpful in helping me to choose what to get. I ordered: Feta Toast $6 - also comes with tomato, tapenade & Greek herbs. Mega yum. Apple cider muffin - a little dry but not overwhelming with cinnamon Everything about this place, from the vibe down to the food was saying "Hey you. Yeah you. Slow down, take a moment & have a sweet treat. You deserve it, you wonderful human you." read more

We were looking for a brunch spot and found this cute place on Google. It is definitely more of a cafe than a brunch restaurant though. They have very limited seating inside so I wouldn't rely on this place as a meeting spot, we got lucky this morning taking over a table just as a couple was heading out! (They also have signs to not bring laptops, and to enforce a 30 minute seating limit.) I got a hot chai latte with oat milk and the village sandwich. The sweet potatoes are not cooked crispy (just a warning for any crispy potato lovers) but I loved how soft and starchy they were. The honey and goat cheese was an interesting combination but I loved it, they don't add too much honey where it's too sweet. Awesome bread too. I have nothing to complain about the chai latte, I loved the foam and wasn't too sweet either. I would recommend this place for someone grabbing a quick bite to go! read more
