About me:
Fig Cafe is not a regular coffee shop, restaurant, hookah lounge, internet cafe or pool hall. When we created Fig Cafe, we meant to create a culture club - and WE SUCCEEDED.
We established Fig Cafe to introduce the Middle Eastern, North African, and the Mediterranean traditions, cultures, music, books, games, food, and drinks - and WE SUCCEDED.
At Fig Cafe, we created an atmosphere that mixes the traditional east with the modern west in every aspect from our menu to our seating style, music, videos, food, and even down to the small details like lighting fixtures and wall frames.
>>>> FIG CAFE IS OPEN 365 NIGHTS A YEAR <<<<
