    Cheesy, bacon-covered grits
    Forrest G.

    By now, the Fig Tree Café in downtown Jonesboro has become a popular go-to for morning / afternoon atmosphere, even with its near-scanty hours of operation. Open all week, save for Sunday, the spot is an adjunct of Jonesboro Baptist Church, but one need not be denominational to fit in. One entree, the grits -- when served steaming with cheese & bacon -- is my personal favorite. The hot cappuccino bread with generous chocolate chips comes in a near second. An antique piano adds personality to FTC's spread. Two more interesting details include the prayer wall and an absence of orange juice at the food counter. To be brief, FTC is a gem this critic highly recommends.

    Yum!  Carmel Machioto coffee, sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich.

    What an amazing and wonderful surprise. Just flew into town and was looking for a cup of coffee and quick bite to eat before my meeting. Thankfully, none of the big chain places were nearby. Found this amazing gem down on Main Street. Who does not want to try the local coffee house on any Main Street in small towns USA? It did not disappoint. Service was warm and friendly with good suggestions. Both my sandwich and coffee were delicious. I could not stop smiling at the decor. I so wanted to pull out my book and settle in for an hour to read and drink coffee. Maybe next time. In the meantime, go down to Main Street and visit them. You will thank me later!

    Hello all, this is such a cute cafe. Prices are nice (paid around $12 for my sandwich,muffin,and beverage w/tip) and food is tasty for a quick coffee run. The service is also nice. Only thing I would "negatively" comment about is the drinks on the blackboards which weren't up to date, so I was really sad when I found out I couldn't get a cream soda The BLT was really good and so was the strawberry lemonade. Definitely would be back 4.5/5

    This little feel good coffee shop never disappoints! It's location is beautiful across from the Old CC courthouse in the historic district of downtown Jonesboro. I usually run by this shop every morning. After my lifelong commitment to boycott Starbucks, I think I'll be stopping by much more often!

    Pouf and variety of seating - cosy

    I'm happy because it's really the first local coffee shop in the neighborhood that is like this. Before, we only had Mt Zion Barnes and Nobles with its Starbucks and recently opened is the independent Starbucks on Tara Blvd. The closest Starbucks was otherwise 20 mins away near Eagles Landing. Then, we had to go to CSU library or DD in Lake City. So, when I'm in Morrow area, I like to come here because it is really peaceful, clean, and cozy- and local. It's also not FREEZING from air con and there are plenty of outlets! Lovely customer service. It's really a spot for locals and commuters wouldn't really go here. It's a nice study and work spot. Hours are a bit inconvenient. It is a place with religious values but no pressure if you're not of same faith. I feel welcomed bc it also has a community vibe. Clayton Co has a strong religious community so it reflects that, I think! Not really vegetarian friendly-All their food except sweets pastries has meat. See pics Coffee and tea okay It's not like Blue Bottle or places w Counter Culture or the other third-wave sort of coffee places one finds closer downtown Atlanta

    Great views and such a beautiful day to sit and sip on great coffee

    Cutest coffee shop on Main St in Jonesboro. So inviting and staff was very friendly, great coffee as well. Jonesboro needs a lot more of this to revitalize but this is a great start.

    Raisin bagel with chai latte and a shot of water.

    Cute and cozy place. Staff pleasant and helpful. Table seating or sofas and chairs. From Groups of 6-8 to 1 person doing computer work were present when I was visited. They have serve your self water with cute large shot glasses! My chai latte with almond milk (I declined the 2 pumps of vanilla) was the best I've ever had but next time I will request it hotter. I will be back.

    If you love a vibe this is your spot. They have a VJ and DJ. I came on both mothers and father's…read moreday. The food is consistent. Parking is free and there is plently of it behind the restaurant and across the street to the bar. Drinks are strong! If you don't like a loud brunch this isn't the spot for you on a Sunday, but any other day is great.

    Finally, made it to this restaurant. I would be back…read more Parking, plenty. This is rare that a brunch spot has so much parking. There is a huge open parking lot on W. Mill across the street. There is also street parking. Wait to be seated. Best to have a reservation during peak hours. Weekend brunch and evenings I imagine to be busy. QR code menu. NOTE if you go during brunch and you get a cocktail from the menu you won't see the prices for brunch. That is part of the reason for the low rating. Even though the drink menu says the days and hours for those prices, you have to ask for the after those hours. The menu has your typical southern brunch flare with a twist. The drink menu is good. I ordered the impossible burger slider, it doesn't come with anything. Just two sliders. I ordered the potatoes. Even though the sliders were decent. It was a little salty. Presentation was good. Watermelon savage. I also tried the scrambled eggs - way too salty. It was inedible. My brunch partner didn't like the grits or chicken biscuit that it came with. Service was fine. Decor and atmosphere was nice. Overall, it was decent. It seems like a nice place to grab drinks and catch a vibe or be the vibe. Gratuity is included. Overall, decent spot. Oh and there is outdoor seating that includes a stage.
