Quaint Boston-area cafe named best brunch spot in Mass.
Brunch doesn't have to come with all the bells and whistles of mimosas buckets and stuffed French toast. It can be plain and simple.
That is evident in Yelp's choice for the best brunch spot in Massachusetts: 3 Little Figs in Somerville.
The quaint cafe, which is equidistant from Davis Square and Magoun Square, makes most of its food from scratch including muffins, scones, cookies and cakes.
3 Little Figs also serves breakfast sandwiches and other specialty items such as chia pudding and spinach pie, which is a family recipe. Beverages range from gourmet coffee and teas to smoothies and shakes.
"Such a great spot!! Coffee is always perfect and all the baked goods are so tasty," one review reads on Yelp , where 3 Little Figs has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating.
"My favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood," another reviewer wrote. "Great people, ambiance, and food."
Owner Katie Rooney opened 3 Little Figs in October 2011 after being laid off from her career in broadcast production, according to the cafe's website .
"After a couple years testing recipes and baking for dozens of farmer's markets, and supplying local cafes with her baked goods, Katie was ready for a cafe of her own," the website reads.
Rooney runs the business with her husband, Andy, "who traded his late nights touring in the music industry for early mornings behind the espresso machine."
3 Little Figs is located at 278 Highland Ave., Somerville. The cafe is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
