Review: Figjam Cafe

A quaint little cafe in Carnegie, that I never really considered to be a top brunch place, but just another instance of "don't judge a book by it's cover". The staff are super friendly, they have plenty of indoor and outdoor (courtyard) seating and serve both lunch and breakfast options. I went here on two occasions, in 2016 and 2017, and have combined the review here.

Cookies & Cream Milkshake - $6.50

Espresso Milkshake - $5.50

Middle Eastern Chicken Salad - $18
With zaatar spiced chicken, feta, quinoa, chickpeas, pomegranate and greens
with a yoghurt dressing. Super tasty, was a summer special I believe.
Though it may still be available (the zomato menu is out of date)

Beef burger - $17.90
With thick cut fries and ketchup. A classic cheeseburger with a beef
patty, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles.

Matcha Latte
Lovely mild flavour with sugar already added

Potato Hash
with smoked salmon, poached eggs, smashed avocado and some
tartare like sauce.

Potato Croquettes
Another special menu item. This dish was really quite small and not worth the price.
3 croquettes with some smashed avo containing corn and cheese with a base of some
sort of creme fraiche.

Persian Waffles
2 Belgian waffles with rose turkish delight, some fresh berries,
strawberry ice-cream, berry sauce and persian fairy floss. Although a very pretty dish
this was quite overly sweet. I would have preferred some more fresh fruit
to cut through the sweetness and they could've cut the sauce or turkish delight.
