Where you become family


The Fig & Fern is a small coffee shop on the corner of York and Laing Street, built around a simple idea: good food, honest coffee and a table you are welcome to sit at for as long as you like.

Bread comes out of our own oven each morning. The cake counter is restocked by hand and changes with whatever the kitchen felt like baking. Come for breakfast at three in the afternoon if you want to — that is rather the point.

What we serve


All-Day Breakfast

All-Day Breakfast

Eggs, flapjacks and full plates from the moment we open until the moment we close. No cut-off at eleven.

Lunches & Fresh Bread

Lunches & Fresh Bread

Sandwiches built on bread we baked that morning, generous plates and a soup that changes with the weather.

Cakes & Sweet Treats

Cakes & Sweet Treats

A counter that changes daily — layer cakes, cheesecakes, macarons and whatever came out of the oven first.

Coffee Worth the Trip

Coffee Worth the Trip

Ground to order and poured properly. We reckon it is the best coffee in George, and we are happy to be tested.

Made to order
