If you're not starting with a quality product you're not going to get a quality end product. If I'm treating myself, I really like when the drinks are special and thoughtful, and they are always thinking through the menu with a rotating selection of interesting, often themed drinks that offer something for every taste. I love how they partner with other local businesses including 19 Coffee Company, Pastries A La Carte, and Becca Bakes. In addition to these pastries there are some light bites such as sandwiches available. They have space to feature some local makers of things like jewelry and once I even bought a little painting created by a dog here to support the dog's medical treatment. That's the kind of local establishment you're dealing with and it's why I love them. All of this and I haven't even gotten to how cozy this place is. The decor is thoughtful with lots of room to sit and work or relax. There's a little book nook area, an outdoor patio, and spaces by the window where you can people watch out Brookline Blvd. The people are always super nice. It's a great choice for your neighborhood coffee shop.

This place looks small but actually is way bigger than meets the eye. They have probably 5 tables…read moreinside as well as a couch seating area right when you walk in. They have some merch as well as La Prima beans for sale, as that's what they sell here. Then they also have a back patio which was a fun cute surprise with a few tables! As far as standing room goes, it's cramped while you wait for coffee so I couldn't imagine if this place was super busy. The coffee is good quality, as La Prima is. But it wasn't real strong. Could be the espresso machine itself or how they grind/brew here. Personal preference I guess. I got an iced latte, with caramel and oat milk. It had a little too much ice in it, which watered it down quickly but overall still way better than a chain place! This is a solid choice if you're in the neighborhood and always nice to support the little guys! There is street parking right on the boulevard.

I seriously can't recommend this place more - do yourself a favor and check it out! You won't be disappointed!

Their coffee specials all looked amazing and creative, while the few bites and pastries hit the spot.

An employee promptly took our order. We sat at a table of our choosing. Several minutes later, employees brought our drinks and food to us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Pistachio Croissant - 4.5 stars - This croissant was a large size and was covered in pistachio pieces and icing. Note that my receipt says a price of $7, although their website and restaurant menu says $6.50. Turkish Black Tea - 4 stars - This tea tasted rich and slightly bitter. Moroccan Tea - 5 stars - I first encountered Moroccan tea last year when I vacationed in Morocco. This tea tasted similarly minty and sweet. Iced Chai Latte - 3 stars - My husband ordered this drink. It was not bad, but he said that he did not like the flavor or the grittiness. The total price was $19 plus tax and tip.

I ordered a 6 ounce cappuccino and it was definitely on the strong side. Unfortunately, I did not find anything spectacular and savory to eat, but it was already 2 or 3 PM so most things were gone. If I could change anything, it would be the music. Sometimes it was quieter and other times it was loud and some songs were noisy. It interfered with my work. It might be different music at another time so I would return and give it another shot. Thank you for the hospitality.

On a Sunday morning in July, I made a visit to Fig Tree Coffee for a coffee drink. I found myself…read morein the Crafton area, and wanted to visit a local shop. Fig Tree Coffee is a newer coffee shop located in Crafton, right by the elementary school. They serve hot coffee, iced coffee, espresso drinks, tea, chai, and more. In addition to drinks, there are some food options available, along with gift-type items. Directly in front of the building, there is street parking available. There is also a private lot located to the left of the entrance for the entire building. The signage in the windows identifying the business makes it easy to locate. Fig Tree is truly a community coffee shop. It has plenty of seating, and proudly displays pieces of the community it serves. They have a bulletin board with local businesses, community events, and other information. Patrons seem to get their items and utilize the space to hang out and socialize. It is nice to see a place like this being utilized as intended! I stopped here around 8:45 AM, and it was not too crowded. There were a few other patrons in the building and in line ahead of me, but I only had to wait a few minutes to order my drink. It can be sort of overwhelming to try and order here, since the menu is so bare and there are not a ton of "special" drinks advertised. However, the baristas and staff will make anything you really are wanting, so I would not worry about this! They have different flavorings and combinations, you just need to ask or make a combination that you want to try when ordering. The barista that helped me on this visit was lovely. I was not exactly sure what I wanted, so I asked what she typically would order or make for herself. She ended up making me that exact drink in a 16 OZ Iced Drink. I enjoyed getting to try something different that I would not have picked for myself! Service was quick. I was in and out with my coffee in about 7 minutes, and that included waiting in line and taking a minute to order. The prices here are reasonable, and in line with what other local coffee shops are charging for similar products. They do accept both cash and card here, just FYI. I did not purchase any food or pastries, but the coffee prices were right in line with expectations. The vibe of this place is very cool, with a true community cafe feel. I love that they highlight their community. Not only with the people and events, but they even with a wall of Polaroids of the dogs that visit the shop! I even had a dog in line in front of me, so they are dog-friendly here. I give Fig Tree Coffee a positive review, and do recommend giving the shop a try if you find yourself in Crafton or the West End. It is a newer shop, but already has great ambiance and community presence. The staff are friendly, drinks are tasty, it is dog-friendly, and it is a great space to hang out or get some work done. I look forward to future visits to Fig Tree when I find myself in the area.
