The Fig Tree Deli - Carindale

Went to Fig Tree Deli this morning and waited 30 minutes for 2 small breakfasts that only included poaching eggs. Came out cold, the bagel was stale, they also forgot a hash brown on one breakfast. Very disappointed.

We got two light breakfasts. Banana bread was stale with little butter and the butter tasted of garlic. Toast and avo toast was small and rock hard with a small amount of avo. For what was got, it was expensive and barely adequate.

Location was easy to find, with a large The Fig Tree Deli sign board in a small plaza like area, at the junction of Boundary Road and Samuel Street in the suburb of Camp Hill. Ordering was quick as it was perhaps past lunch time (around 2 pm). Note that lunch menu is served until 3 pm and then the cafe is closed (as per Google 's search). Meal came quickly also ordered a salmon quiche with salad. Salad portion was aptly generous. Quiche was one of the best I 've tasted. It was made fresh in house with what they claim as with their in house made pastry. This quiche was moist and rightly salted (not too much or bland), with the pastry crisp on the end and crunchy on the base. Also had a bowl of show string fries and these came out crunchy and lightly salted. It wasn 't soggy and did not taste of oxidised oil so a big plus! Price was reasonable with the quiche and salad at $12.50. Though the bowl of fries at $6 was a bit steep. Coffee was excellent too with a short black tasting like a shot of black gold! Definitely a place to return for quick meal and some coffee!

This is a regular spot for my weekend brunch or lunch. The brekky menu aims to please with consistent fare and if it's a little later in the day, a panini made with fresh ingredients straight from the deli always hits the spot. Good coffee, service and casual ambience.

Quite a big cafe in this shopping centre precinct on a busy corner. Quality of the meals was quite good the ham of the bone is always a good thermometer of a deli’s quality. Classic menu with sandwiches paninis through clubs. Coffee (Merlo) was good even though my cup was overfilled. Service was fine, all a bit awkward at the front counter where a queue clutters up the entrance. If in the area I would go again.
