Fig and Ivy

When I'm around Byford and in need of a caffeine fix, Fig and Ivy is my go-to. Nestled on Abernethy Road, this place offers a cozy vibe with a touch of charm. The coffee here hits the spot every single time. They brew it just right, strong enough to wake you up but smooth enough that you want a second cup. Their baristas seem to know their craft well, always friendly and quick.

It's comfortable to hang out here. The wheelchair accessibility is a thoughtful touch, with easy parking and seating that works for everyone. On a fine day, the outdoor seating is a favorite. Sipping on your latte while feeling the breeze is just perfect. Plus, if you're a dog lover like me, you're in luck. They welcome dogs, so your furry friend doesn't have to stay at home.

The food at Fig and Ivy is pretty solid too. I don't always go for brunch when I visit, but when I do, I'm never disappointed. They've got this smashed avo that's hard to beat, and their poached eggs are always spot-on. Everything feels fresh and the portions just right to fill you up without feeling heavy. If you prefer lighter fare, there are pastries and sweets worth trying. The blueberry muffin is soft, moist, and a lovely treat.

Takeaway is another option to keep in mind. Sometimes when I'm rushing to get elsewhere, I grab a coffee to go. It's convenient and the quality doesn't drop when it's in a to-go cup. They also do delivery, which is awesome if you're nearby but too cozy at home to make the trip down.

Around Fig and Ivy, Byford has a friendly, small-town feel. There's a country market just a stone's throw away. They sell everything from local produce to handcrafted items.

It's a lively spot with kids practicing tricks or whizzing around at top speed.

They start serving at 6:30 am every day, so getting my coffee fix early is easy.

I have to say, the service here is consistently good. Even during the busy brunch hours on weekends, the staff keeps their cool and gets orders right. It makes you feel more like a regular than just a customer. They handle the crowds well, and the wait isn't long, even when the place is buzzing.
