A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

3 Little Figs has also been on my list of ‘go to’ places for quite some time. While Leah and I were doing a little tour of Somerville, we stopped in here for breakfast on a Saturday. Packed. Jam packed actually. Line outside the door.

Totally worth the wait. Leah and I grab a seat at the bar at the window and wait for our breakfast. Want an idea of what is on their menu:

SAUSAGE BREAKFAST PIE (weekends only) – local pork sausage from MF Dulock, egg, potato, cheddar, sun-dried tomatoes, flakey crust

SPINACH PIE (best ever!) – sheep’s milk feta, spinach, leeks, buttery phyllo dough

FETA TOAST – sheep’s milk feta, tomatoes, kalamata tapenade, olive oil on thick sourdough

LOX ON TOAST – smoked salmon, capers, dill, cucumbers, yogurt spread on thick sourdough

SAVORY RICOTTA TOAST – olive oil, salt & pepper on ciabatta

SWEET RICOTTA TOAST – honey, cinnamon on sourdough

BAKED FRENCH TOAST (weekends only) – with bourbon & vanilla creme

EGG BISCUIT – scrambled egg, cheddar, house made black pepper biscuit, with caramelized smoked bacon

LIL FIGGY – almond butter, bananas, honey, cinnamon on 7 grain

VILLAGE – roasted sweet potatoes, arugula, VT goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, honey, olive oil on 7 grain

MARKET – prosciutto, VT goat cheese, fig jam, arugula, tomatoes, herbs, olive oil on rustic franceseThey also have some delicious looking pastries in their case. Leah chose the sausage breakfast pie and it did not disappoint. They have an impressive coffee bar – they are currently hosting Tandem Coffee Roasters from Portland, Maine and 49th Parallel from Vancouver, BC. The coffee selection is sure to please even the pickiest coffee snob in your life.

I chose the avocado torta because it reminded me of Chacarero. So this delicious sandwich may sound a little odd, but the flavor combination just works. Trust me. Avocado, green beans, muenster cheese, tomato and a spicy walnut chili pesto. This is like the more sophisticated version of the Chacarero sandwich.
