No laptops allowed at all, the latte is very mid, london fog is just plain bad, and the pepper biscuit is underwhelming to say the least.

I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for.
I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!

Best coffee / espresso drinks in the Boston area! Andy and crew always do a great job.

Friendly service, delicious drinks - best mocha I've ever tried. Breakfast sandwiches are 10/10!
Vegetarian options: They offer a ton of veg sandwiches and a vegan breakfast sandwich!
Victims of their own success—so many customers and so little seating that this is effectively a to-go place now. I had a cappuccino and the chia pudding to go because there was no other option really. It was good, but what I look for in a coffeehouse is the ability to hang out for a while, pick a snug corner, work, read, or chat. Look elsewhere for that.

I really like the coffee and chocolate shake. The line is often long, but the service is friendly and I've always enjoyed my food.

Overall disappointing and will not be returning. It’s better than Starbucks, but it’s not nearly as good as other small businesses and chains like Tatte.
1. The Village sandwich was good (4/5). Flavorful and a fun combo. Bit on the dry side. 2. The egg & cheese sandwich can use more cheese (maybe different kinds too) and salt + pepper. It lacked flavor. And the bread itself was dry but too oily at the same time… 3. The cortada was very sharp. Not my cup of coffee, if you will. (pun intended) 4. The mocha was too watery and lacked chocolate flavor.

Breakfast fantastic. Bakery fantastic. Customer service is fantastic. Smoothies fantastic. Seating inside is limited. But more seating outside or on the side with the space mural. Would recommend for a quick bite
Best place in Boston area! Delicious food, great coffee, friendly service and cute design. Try their pepper biscuit, yum!

i have gone here more than any other cafe in the world and i have lived in somerville for less than a year. this is my go-to spot when someone asks to meet for coffee. i will continuously update with more pictures (i often forget to take them) but here are reviews of everything ive eaten/drunk at 3 little figs.
overall: their prices are truly unbeatable for the quality. the most expensive coffee drink is a $5 mocha and a $4.5 latte and everything is lower than those two. incredible. their matcha latte is $4.5, chai is $4.5, london fog $4. yeah they’re my goat for this
pastries: - apple cider donut muffin: i think of her constantly. beautifully spiced and a little crunchy on the outside but so melt in your mouth decadent on the inside. a wonderful donut in the shape of a muffin. she’s also like $3.50 or something nuts like that - lavender biscuit: I also think of her constantly. crispy but airy but dense and slightly salty biscuit with the most yummy lavender glaze. ginormous for $3.5 - chai muffin: really soft and airy, the espresso icing is so delicious. i do not think of her all the time but she is what she says she is. the icing makes it so cupcake like but it’s the right amount of icing. for $3 im pogging - goat cheese scone: YUM. it’s their biscuit again, huge, and has pieces of goat cheese that is salty and delicious. a great savoury pastry option - chocolate pistachio cookie: she is DENSE. she is buttery. she is not that chewy. if that is what you’re into. just a very good warm dense cookie with melty chocolate
food: - ricotta toast: ive only had it sweet here (cinnamon and honey) and it kickstarted my love for ricotta. airy, creamy, perfect sweetness, incredibly flavourful yet soft sourdough. banger. she’s $6 and a gateway to other toasts - market sandwich: ive had better but i still enjoyed it (pic) - $11 is the steepest you can get at 3 little figs and this is it! it’s good though, and don’t sleep on the fig jam - breakfast sandwiches: yum yum yum and smell so incredibly good. for $6 for a filling beautifully and artisanal crafted breakfast sandwich? aw yea. black pepper biscuit with sausage is the goat
cons: - seating is ez if u come early in the morning like i do. if not then yea it’s hard - too awesome - not gate kept. because they deserve all the love and popularity
even more pros: - free awesome water on tap (still and sparkling) - swag too different, service too good, food too fresh, life is awesome

Great for breakfast. Light and flaky biscuits are my fave. Particularly the Lavender biscuit and black pepper sandwich
It's a popular place so may be hard to get a seat during peak, but look for seats in the back area
Vegetarian options: A few options and willing to customize

The food is excellent as well as the drinks and it’s probably the better cafe in the area. The place is just always packed and online ordering is never available.
