The FIG - Coffee and Lounge

It has been on my list for more than one year, and today I finally managed to put a tick next to it. Yes, I went to The Fig – coffee and lounge this afternoon. And it felt incredible to be there, especially when I was accompanied by great friends.

It was funny at first cause we got lost although I did google map it, and to be honest, I was quite embarassed to struggle to get the right way, anyway, as long as we arrived, it was fine :D

Just as I stepped into the place, the sight evoked a feeling of warmth and peace. There was a statue of buddha right in the middle of the front yard, and I forgot to take a picture of that. Some clouds of steam coming out from somewhere and it smelled very relaxing.
The statue of buddha viewed from the inside.
The atmosphere inside was cozy. Every little thing goes along well with each other, different variations of buddha miniatures were neatly displayed on the shelves or beautifully painted on the wall.














The menu covers almost the whole set. It offers main course, side dish, desserts, drinks, ice cream, and other stuff.

As usual, I'm always excited to discover the tea choices, and guess what I got, 'Organic Orange tea and dill leaves'. The taste was just so refreshing and pleasant, and it kinda carried a flavor of Indian food, as one of my friends remarked.

We did have a good time savouring the food and planning for our long weekend holliday. The music was absolutely perfect, the playlist was smart, it was a combination of buddhist melodies with some other enjoyable genres.

Highly recommended for friends get-together. Beautiful place, great food and drink, nice music, what else should we ask for? Let's call your buddies and drive there.
