What Damilola doesn't like about Fig And Sparrow:
The service we received was pretty poor. One of the group ordered an oat chai latte after which the the cashier repeated the order back to us and confirmed. When the drink arrived it was in the form of a regular milk caramel latte. We told our server that sorry we didn’t order this to which she said, quite rudely that they were out of chai but don’t really make it seem like remaking the drink was an option. The rest... View all feedback. What User likes about Fig And Sparrow:
so much choice! coffee was great and they had many choices, including several veggie and vegan options. only the question is that after sitting they have to adjust the waiting queue, and yet this is the same waiting queue as the crazy ride Takeaway line (because of the big coffee that is easily removed from the experience. Maybe app orders / a separate line for those who eat in, more effective? in any case eating was... View all feedback.

Nestled in a bustling location, this café has garnered mixed reviews for its offerings. While some patrons relish the flavorful vegan brunches and commend the friendly staff, others report a lackluster coffee experience and subpar service. Complaints include unfulfilled menu items, slow service, and questionable cleanliness of the facilities. Nonetheless, the café's inviting atmosphere and potential for delightful food keep some loyal guests returning for its robust coffee selection and creative breakfast options. It seems that while many find hidden gems within the menu, others remain disappointed by the execution and overall experience.
