It was really cozy and had homely feel to it. <br/ <br/ Going out for brunch I often try to stray away from the typical smashed avo but I had a real craving and when the menu says with pomegranate seeds I 'm a huge sucker. I ended up ordering the 'avocado 2 ways ' $19) and added a side of bacon which was cooked to perfection, crispy and delicious. It was a very generous serving with 2 slices of toast and a poached egg. Would definitely order again when very hungry!<br/ <br/ My friend ordered the 'Mr Benny ' $18) which came with ham hock on a sweet potato rosti, definitely delicious and elements of complexity I wouldn 't be able to whip up at home. Well worth it. <br/ <br/ Coffee was on point also, I went an almond milk cap as I 'd already filled my cow 's milk quota for the day and I was pleasantly surprised. Almond milk was creamy with a decent amount of froth. <br/ <br/ Service was excellent and very attentive. I 'd walked past Figjam hundreds of times as I frequent Carnegie often and kicking myself I haven 't eaten there earlier.
