The first time I ordered an espresso beverage with the light roast option and what I received did not taste anything close to light. Both visits, staff were cold and acted annoyed with the questions I had about their beans/coffee offerings. I would recommend klvn and ghost coffee as superior alternatives.

During the day, I love to take my laptop here to work and there are plugs at the ends of tables. The setting makes the drinks worth it. They have always been good enough but I have never been blown away. Their drinks are average to more expensive ($5-8 all things considered) but are a smaller size, especially for a hot latte. I have found the most bang for my buck with an iced matcha. The drinks are not too sweet and more earthy if that is something you prefer. Their cork and stone cups are cute but small and easy to spill out of. It does make for a quiet vibe and photo though. I am so glad places like this exist.

We ordered an iced latte with oat milk and an iced orange blossom latte with whole milk - Both were extremely watered down and had no flavor to them - also, the drinks were just not mixed well, and there were little 'chunks' just floating around, which was super gross. We couldn't even finish them. Staff could have been more friendly and more attentive. The chairs and the tables were not tended to, so the surfaces were gross and there was an expectation that the patrons have to clean up after others. Metered parking can be found in the area. No dice, LV. +chunks in drinks +not-so-friendly staff +dirty seating areas +metered parking available

However, the service left something to be desired - I had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to come to the counter, and then the ordering process was kind of awkward - the employee barely spoke to me. The space is dirty and dingy, and there was a dog inside of the cafe. I understand folks love to bring their dogs along to places, but as someone who is severely allergic, it made me uncomfortable to see a dog in a place preparing my food.

It's a great option for those wanting a hang out spot but also don't want to be in the bars or who are sober. I ordered the blueberry matcha and for someone who usually doesn't like any sweeteners in their matcha it wasn't overly sweet. The Nutella stuffed pistachio ball was super yummy. Service was friendly and quick. If you're stopping in to work, which I do often when buzzing around town as I work on the road, you'll know it can be hard to find places that offer space to work from. Like spacious table tops and outlets easily accessible. The table tops here are kind of awkward and small but they do have outlets near most seats! Aesthetic is cute but feels a little cheap and college dorm but it's not something that would keep me from stopping in again. The trash can lid was pretty gross and covered in sticky food and drink - you bus your own plates as you finish. 8/10 overall! :)

It was an egg patty with a very small piece of cheese and no option to add meat. I definitely won't spend that much again for it. I didn't have any coffee or tea.

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.
