I was a little underwhelmed with this place, and maybe I ordered the wrong things. I got the short rib Benedict and it was honestly soggy and flavorless. It tasted more like water and oil than anything else, really bummed out. The man candy was good, but I expected it to be crispy, mine was super soggy and floppy. My Mexican mocha was frickin fantastic, it's the perfect sugary sweet morning drink, not very coffee strong. My friend got an espresso martini that was also super good. The service was alright, we were seated right away, but every time we needed something or were ready to order or pay the waiter went to everyone but us, it was like he was avoiding us. Not the biggest deal, but it got to be a bit frustrating. The place itself is actually really cute, the liberty station one is outdoor, with big open window areas, great on a super nice day, shaded so you aren't in direct sun, but then allowing airflow and you feel like you are outside. I am going to go again, I have heard their French toast and pancakes are awesome, just feel like I ordered the wrong things. read more

Oh man, the benedicts were amazing. Perfect poached eggs. And frankly, the vegan chorizo benedict might have been the best thing we ordered. Really friendly service as well. Two thumbs up. read more

Dined here for lunch the other day with two pals and had a great time! Service was beyond excellent! Yelp shout out to Ben, one of the FTC managers who visited us at our table and was both hospitable and helpful. He gave us his favorite items as well as what's most popular. Two of us ordered their Grilled Turkey sandwich with side salad (instead of fries). I can't recall what my other buddy ordered but he couldn't finish it and told the rest to-go. Sat in their covered patio and it was a great day so it was perfect. I also ordered a cold brew and a blackberry mocktail, both of which were tasty & refreshing. Food quantity was adequate, prices reasonable, my order was served hot and fresh. Restrooms were clean, all in all, no complaints. Most of my visits here have been for breakfast, so this lunch visit was a new and pleasant one for me. read more

Fig Tree Cafe at Liberty Station has such a cute vibe and a great location. The food was okay, nothing bad, just a bit underwhelming compared to what I expected. The mimosa flight was pretty basic as well, nothing too special. That said, our server was absolutely top notch, super attentive, friendly and really made the experience enjoyable. The great service definitely made up for the food! read more

Wanted a super-local San Diego, semi-chain artisanal breakfast spot (two locations -- does that count as a chain?), and this place checked all the boxes. It was the perfect healthy, non-oily carb breakfast I needed before walking all day at the San Diego Safari Park. The lemon ricotta pancakes had the perfect balance of sweet and tart, the omelet's sautéed vegetables added a great crunch, and their signature Fig Tree Blend coffee was a fun touch served in their own personal mugs -- which I actually considered buying from the merch section. The menu has a variety of interesting, modern options that definitely make me want to return. It's not cheap (but what is affordable anywhere lately?), so you're paying for the flavor. read more

This trip Ingot the Crispy Pork Belly and Grits, with a side of Man Candy! Soooo Goood! The grits had the perfect consistency. The Man Candy is delicious! The wife got the Quinoa Salad and loved it. She gets it every time she comes here. Our server, Joey, did a great job explaining things and taking care of us. Thanks Joey!!! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and sitting outside was perfect for our group! My father in law got a spicy Bloody Maria and added A slice of Man Candy (Bacon with Brown sugar and paprika). He loved it!!! We will definitely be back! Cheers! read more

Breakfast sushi!! Two words you need to know. Order it and you won't regret. I do recommend asking for the plum sauce on the side. It was a lot of sauce. Also you get three huge pieces. I recommend coming here with someone else order this and another plate to share. The service was slow and our waitress didn't update us until later that they were having kitchen issues. Overall a lovely restaurant. They have plenty of options for dairy and gluten free people. read more

Came for a work luncheon. Great area of course with ample free parking. They seated our group of 9 well. The menu is pretty simple and I can tell by the hot sauce on the table they are affiliated with another restaurant chain (I'm thinking breakfast republic? Rooster on the bottle). Staff was excellent and friendly. I got a delicious hot chocolate and the traditional Benedict (one in English muffin and one on focaccia). This came with potatoes as was good but nothing amazing to me. I do prefer it on the English muffin. I feel like I should've ordered something else. Everyone's food did look delicious. I'd come back for maybe the breakfast burrito or grilled cheese. They have another location near hazard center as well. read more

*great service *casual ambiance * yummy food Been here a few times, always for breakfast, and it's a great brunch spot when you're in Liberty Station. Sundays can get busy, but I've never waited more than about 20 minutes. Their hibiscus lemonade is delicious, and I ordered the chipotle chilaquiles they are super tasty, especially with over-medium eggs. Service is great and prompt every time. Definitely a solid spot to come for breakfast or brunch when you're in the area. read more

I recently visited Fig Tree Cafe with a large party of 11 at Liberty Station, and overall it was a mixed experience. We called ahead and were quoted a 30-minute wait, but when we arrived, we ended up waiting a little over an hour. It was clear they were busy, but it was disappointing to see other groups being seated while we continued to wait. Once seated, it seemed like there may have only been one server handling multiple tables. Service wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very attentive either we didn't get check-ins for things like extra napkins or refills unless we flagged someone down. That said, the food was honestly the highlight. Everything we ordered was delicious. The fig and ricotta French toast with lemon was especially good definitely a standout. For a large group, not all dishes came out at the same time, so just be prepared for a staggered service. We were there for about two hours total, so between the wait time and the pacing of service, it does require some patience. Overall: * Food: 10/10 * Service: 8/10 * Wait time: longer than expected Would I come back? Maybe but I'd definitely come prepared for a wait. On a positive note, being at Liberty Station really adds to the experience. The atmosphere, views, and variety of nearby spots make it a great place to spend the day, even if this particular visit had a few hiccups. read more

So yummy! A girlfriend and I stopped in after a skate session and we were ravenous. I ordered the short rib Benedict and devoured before I could snap a picture. My friend ordered the eggs and grits (which I surprisingly liked and am normally not a grits person). We decided to split something sweet and ordered the lemon strawberry French toast. We didn't even realize it was vegan! It was soooo good and did not even need the syrup. Now while the food was amazing, the wait time was not. We had about a 45 minute wait for 2 people on a Monday around 1. Thankfully TJ's is right there and we were able to get some shopping done before our post skate brunch. Overall, good food, good service but a long wait time. read more

This place is delicious! Busy for sure but worth the wait. You check in at the front, they are able to take your number and text you when your table is ready! Once you're in the staff is very friendly and patient. The place is clean very cute! Today there was rain but not a problem they had the tents up and heaters on We ordered the brioche French toast with banana frost, California breakfast burrito, side of eggs and the breakfast sushi Everything was delicious very tasty. The breakfast sushi was more of just eggs with rice and onions nothing out of the ordinary but can't complaint as again the staff was very friendly and attentive. This is an amazing place and I wouldn't hesitate to comeback! read more

The food and drinks were delicious and the wait wasn't too bad on a Sunday morning. Parking is a breeze at Liberty Station and there's of course a ton to see in the area! Highly recommend! read more

With a puppy, I'm always trying to find dog friendly places. When I found out they were dog friendly I was SO excited. They even offered a water bowl for my puppy! We saw tons of people bringing their dogs too. The food was delicious as always. Pro tip: if you get the sampler you can actually choose from French toast or pancakes. It doesn't need to be all three pancakes or all three French toast! read more

We came on a Sunday morning, so there was a bit of a line, but they had online tracking so we walked around while we waited so it wasn't a big deal. When our table was ready, I was pretty disappointed that they sat us at a two seater when we had three people (me, husband, & toddler). I noticed that there were three other couples (with dogs) that all got 4 seaters, so that was already kind of annoying. Our table didn't have enough space for all of us, so it was just a very hectic experience. We got the huevos rancheros, meatloaf hash, yogurt plate, man candy and arugula potatoes. The chips on the huevos rancheros were really stale and didn't taste fresh. I wasn't a fan of the flavor of the meatloaf hash.. the menu said it was basil pesto, and I love basil pesto.. but whatever they actually used didn't taste like it. It had the texture of lemongrass.. which I'm not a fan of. The man candy was underwhelming.. I was expecting it to be crunchy/crispy, but it was limp and super soggy. The best thing on the menu was actually the yogurt, so that's the 3 stars. read more

Located in Liberty station, this gem of a breakfast spot, is the perfect way to start your day. There's plenty of parking around the area, we came during the week and didn't have a problem finding a spot. We were seated quickly and there were several tables in side and outside. It's a very relaxed setting and you can have large groups there. The menu was large enough to give options without being overwhelming. Nice portions sizes and reasonable prices. The Apple fritter pancakes had a nice bunch of Apple bits throughout. The breakfast burrito was so hearty my husband didn't even touch his potatoes (though our son ate them by the handful). We left full and happy and talked about it longingly a few days later. read more

Stopped for breakfast during our travels and oh boy are we happy we did. I had the Huevos Rancheros plate and my friend had the California Omelette. The food is DELICIOUS! We also had orange juice and it was freshly squeezed. I highly recommend this spot. GREAT service, relaxed vibe, and our server, this late morning, was a complete sweetheart. Cannot wait to visit San Diego again so we can eat here again. P.s. Their homemade jam is AMAZING! You MUST try it!! read more

I don't really like places that pre-fill that many water cups and let them sit there. Especially at a place where bugs and birds can just come in. It's fine to have the pitcher sit there and I understand it gets busy, but I just think it's not so sanitary and there must be a better way to do things. Their water doesn't taste so good. Just regular tap water, which makes me not really want to try their drinks. I had their rose latte before and it was delicious though, many many flowers on top (if you're into that) The food was delicious, but not up to temp. I like my food hot, not warm. My first bite of the short ribs on the Benedict was lukewarm. Only the egg and potatoes were hot. Although I'm sitting outdoors and know the food can get cold fast, it shouldn't be that fast. Service was just okay. They know they're popular. I've been going here for years, but this might be one of my last times here since there are more brunch places around that surpassed this one now. read more

There's nothing particularly wrong with the Fig Tree Cafe. Its food is adequate, and its menu, while pricey, is unsurprising in the typical variety of dishes it offers. Preparations are fine. Ingredients seem fresh, and are probably handled well. I wouldn't return to the Fig Tree because I can get the same food, cooked the same way, for the same (or lower) price, at literally dozens of restaurants and cafes throughout San Diego County. read more

Always a good experience here at Fig Tree. Came at 8am on Sunday, after taking a family member to the airport, for a quick bite before a very long planned day today. My Husband and I were seated immediately in the covered patio. It's very nice because there are heat lamps throughout for warmth on this crisp cool air day. The SD Half Marathon was going on and so the place was not packed, which was great for us. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and customer service oriented. We ordered: Short Rib Benedict (my fave dish) with Avocado Brioche French Toast with Bananas Foster upgrade Cranberry Juice Hot Green Tea Everything was PERFECTLY prepared and delicious. Our food was out within 10-12 minutes from ordering. That chef has a wonderful prep system I suppose because everything was freshly prepared and made when it arrived at the table. We will definitely be back! Always a pleasure. read more

Great brunch spot! Walking distance from the Courtyard Marriott at Liberty Station. Cute outdoor dog-friendly space with some indoor seating. Tables are a little close together so be prepared to be nice and cozy. Good menu selection with a little something for everyone. I got the Turkish Toast which was phenomenal! Bright and flavorful, and I enjoyed every bite. I love me some avo toast or bennies but they can be too dense or filling sometimes. This Turkish Toast was just right and so good! The place was packed, but we still had great service with a friendly server who was right on top of our refills and checking in on us frequently. read more

I had a chance to try Fig Tree Cafe while in the Liberty Station area and it was a great brunch experience. We were able to sit a group of 10+ and it was a nice experience. The service was great and the ambiance was comfortable. For Food we got the Breakfast burrito with potatoes which was nice and flavorful. I liked the seasoning that the eggs seemed to have and it. added lots of flavor. I also tried my friends French toast and definitely you can tell lots of flavor here. Everyone was full and satisfied by the end of the meal so definitely had a really good time! read more

If you want a good spot for brunch, come to Fig! The food is good, but be advised that it can get busy. Our party of 3 wait time was around 45 mins in the afternoon, but it's worth! The inside was super decorated with trees and the like. Food: good The Benedict was on a foccia bread which was surprisingly spongy and the sauce melted into the bread. Not pictured was the fig and jam French toast which was SO good! I recommend this for any sweet tooth lover. Staff: good! Thank you to our servers who helped us. They were so nice and helpful. read more

Came here after a Conference with a table of 7-8 ppl. It was a Saturday so it was an hour wait. Luckily its in Liberty station with benches, shade and tables to sit and wait. We ordered grilled turkey club, 3 types of egg Benedict (salmon, Canadian ham and short rib braised beef), 2 x Shrimp Fritatas, side of man candy bacon and truffle fries. Also a Mimosa and Bloody Mary! All food came out in timely manner, waters were continuously refilled. Service was polite. But they had 2 co ed restrooms.

Was really looking forward to this place, but the fries were rock hard and soaked in oil. Couldn't even stab them with a fork, I was afraid I would crack a tooth! I did NOT want more fries after that, and the "discount" they provided for the fries was just the cost of the upgrade to truffle fries and not the actual fries. So I still paid for the uneaten, fully fossilized fries. Service was good but fries are so basic, messing that up is a huge failure on the business. read more

Had the California scramble with potatoes plus english muffin ;filling meal but lukewarm when it came to our table. Very crowded on Mother's day Saturday. I didn't like the Stone Buenaveza beer on tap I ordered. Not much structure or flavor. Nice patio with a waiting line for the restroom. Good service for a crowded day. Most entrees are $15 to $20. I recommend it for its ambience and good food. read more

Definitely my new fave Brunch spot ! Outdoor seating with nice air flow. Quick service . And the food was sooooooooo flavorful !!!! The Arugula potatoes were definitely my favorite part. My husband had the American plate and the sausage was absolutely delicious. The buttermilk pancakes come with 3 so we just shared. They were tasty and not super heavy. The Hibiscus lemonade was more Hibiscus than lemonade but it was still good. The pricing is super affordable, cheaper than Broken Yolk. We will certainly be returning customers ! read more

The quality of the food is seriously lacking. They were amazing a few years ago but now it's like being served slop. I ordered French toast (you have to pay extra for berries and cream, that's crazy!) scrambled eggs and man candy. The "man candy" was like soggy bacon not crispy and super greasy, the grease was orange. I didn't even want to eat the eggs because they looked weird. The service was nice and so were the drinks, however I feel like this restaurant is just riding on the fact that it's popular. This review will not matter they get plenty of business. I'm just sad at the quality now. I guess people will pay for anything these days. Not me. read more
