Small room, serious cake.

The Fig & Fern Coffee Shop
Our story

Small, snug, and very hard to leave

We're a tiny coffee shop on the corner of York and Laing — six tables, a counter full of cakes, tarts and macaroons, and a kitchen that takes breakfast seriously. Regulars come for a chai latte and French toast, meet a friend for something sweet, or quietly run a business meeting in the corner. Because we're small, busy mornings can mean a short wait. We think the coffee is worth it.
