It was a nice experience - I probably would have liked more lunch menu items and not so much breakfast at 1:15pm.

Coffee great, all meals were tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. The service was friendly. You can’t ask for more than that at a Saturday brunch.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of room between tables so you didn't intrude on other people. Food was good, well presented and in just the right serving size. Definitely a hit with my other guests.

Great coffee, great food and good service. Suggest rubber or felt be place under the legs of the chairs to reduce the noise when a chair is moved.

Great coffee and delicious food. The staff were very helpful and accommodating to our special requests and the service was very quick. The nursery and shop next door is also awesome.

I had the eggs benedict and while it was delicious and beautiful to look at, I was less than impressed at the fact that it was small and included only half a bagel. For $18, I expected a bit more.

First time customers. We were a bit worried about the location regarding parking, but there was no issues with parking at all. We had an amazing breakfast so much to choose from, everything is beautifully presented and fresh. Will definitely be taking my friends and family back there. The potato hash was to die for!

This is a gorgeous little cafe that shares it's space with a gift shop and nursery. There was plenty of seating, a great kids area and the staff were lovely. I was also very happy with our meal and juices!!!

The atmosphere is tired looking. The food was slightly overpriced for basic cafe fare and no wait service is unusual for a cafe asking those prices. Really bad flies all around our food.

It's wonderful to see an old building being re-purposed & well used. It's a large cafe with a modern & fun atmosphere & there's even a kids corner. The staff interaction is welcoming, polite & fun, matched with great service, but dare I say, surpassed by the excellent food at very reasonable prices. I'll keep bringing friends here to spread the word.

I had a fantastic experience at the Smug Fig! The food was inventive and artistically presented, and obviously tasted great! The staff were beyond accommodating (eg. some of us went into the shop next door while we waited for our order to arrive, and our waitress actually came into the store to let us know our food was served - because she didn't want our meals to get cold!) The atmosphere was great but I would recommend coming at lunch (as we did) rather than brunch, because when we arrived, around 11:45, the place we packed and very loud - but by the time we ordered (around 12pm) most people had left and it was quiet and pleasant.

Really great food and lovely atmosphere in a nursery full of plants. Fun creative menu, the chicken and waffles were really great. Delicious fresh squeezed juice. Could do with A/C though!

It was a hot day, so I'll put most of these problems down to the heat. The staff were glum, no smiles, they scraped the chairs along the ground when moving them. There were flies hanging around our food and us. The food was ok, but nothing stand out. I had a haloumi stack and expected the haloumi to stand out but it just didn't. My husband had the Southern Chicken burger which seemed good. His fries were amazing. After a bit great experience with the food, we went elsewhere for coffee.

The food was great, coffee was good and the atmosphere (although there was only one other diner in the cafe at the time) was wonderful. Shame about the traffic noise but that can't be helped.

The Cafe is inside a small shop/garden centre. There are antiques, a modern boutique and plants to choose from. Service was excellent as was the food and reasonably priced. There was a breeze the morning we attended but imagine it could get a little hot on warmer days

Nice setting, although a few flies around, and a little hot in summer. No Aircon. Fairly friendly service. Food variety descent. Flavour and value for money average. Coffee great, as good as should be.

We arrived at noon and were quickly ushered to a table by a congenial waiter. Our table overlooked one section of the nursery so was atmospheric and reasonably quiet. Coffees came very quickly. Our meals were a little longer in coming but worth the wait.

Had the pulled pork burger which I thought was well below average. Desserts were a bit better but it would have been better if the choices were displayed. Only reason I've given an above average rating is for the whole experience of antiques, lovely gifts and clothing stores + nursery. Won't be rushing back for the food or ordinary service!

A surprising oasis to be found in bustle of East Brisbane. Cool and quirky feel. Make sure to try their specials which are pretty unique offerings.
