Chill under the tree: Fig Tree Cafe and Events Place
Thursday, August 04, 2016
Hey girl!
How are you all
doing? It wasn't always that I posted fancy places where I went to but I
realized it was time to share these too here on my blog. It was a fine
afternoon and the birthday of my quirky friend, Ces. We were thinking of a
place to just chill out in a hot afternoon and somewhat celebrate her special
day. We decided to stopped by at Fig Tree Café and Events Place at Southwoods
Ecocentrum since it was both our first time to visit the place and it was the
nearest the place we were currently in.
The ambiance of the
place even from the outside was very girly and lively. The theme of the cafe
was mostly bright, light colors that was soothing to the eyes. You can easily
find peace when you entered the place. We were lucky that no other people was there when we get there
so we had time to take photos around.
There were bible verses and inspiring quotes everywhere to cheer and give encouragement to the customers. It was really nice that they incorporated motivational words and phrases to their cafe. It makes me wanna love it more.
It
wasn't took us long before we became comfortable with the place (since, we were
both first timers). It also helped that I came with an energetic friend, Ces.
Yes, it was her birthday so, no chance to fret but a lot of reasons to be more
happier. The place only accommodates 10 tables or less including the tables on
the outside that means more intimate place to catch up with a loved one or a
friend which I liked.
What
makes this place nicer was the very peaceful and calming ambiance whenever you
are here. By the way, they played worship songs here too. I don't know if they
do it in a regular basis but at the time when we were here, all of the songs
played were all Christian songs which I loved.
Vintage and recycled girly pieces are everywhere. Every corner has its own story.
It was easy to love
the place because of the fancy decorations on every corner that was
photo-worthy. I just loved decorative pieces and they have it all here. It was
like a bedroom decorated turned café. It was a good place to have a coffee or
snack time. It was the place that we needed at this moment.
Aside
from the café, they also have an event's place here where you can organized
small gatherings or meetings. Isn't it a good idea to have a meeting in a fancy
place outside your stressful workplace? It is. The idea of having an event's
place in a café was a great idea. A meeting over coffee and cake sounds great to me. Or maybe, you
want to have a frappe party with your girl besties and organized an intimate
party.
I am inlove with the DIY lamps and these beautifully framed pieces.
Let us jumped in to
their menu. They served coffee, cake and snacks. They also have plated meals and
breakfast meals on their selections. So basically, they have everything from
breakfast, lunch, snacks to dinner or even coffee in between. The price range was from 150-400 pesos (approx $3-$10). They served solo and family meals.
We
ordered pasta plate and smokey cheese burger with fries. The serving was for
solo. There was nothing so much special with the food and it was almost same as
other burgers and pasta that we tried before. Pardon me, I am not good talking
about the taste and texture and whatever needs to be said about the food.
#notafoodblogger LOL!
I think there is still a need for improvement in making their menu and meals unique from the others. By the way, our orders were both delicious. A little more creativity in plating and preparing meals will be much appreciated.
I was already fine
after I finished my burger and we haven't tried their cakes yet (next on the
list on my next visit). These are their looking-delicious cakes on the rack.

The cupcake carousel. Where are the cupcakes? Haha! |
I will definitely try one of these cakes. They look promising.
Since it was my
friend's birthday (I told that to one of their crew), she was surprised with a
birthday song from all of the other staff of the café. Afterwards, she was
given with a FREE brownie. I don't know if it was on their menu and we haven't
bother to ask the staff too but this brownie was delicious.
Oh, before I forgot.
They also have student discount here too. Look at the meals they offer.
The cafe was usually crowded with customers at late afternoon to night. As I noticed, the cafe was a hit with not only with students and young professionals but also with families.
Overall, the staffs
were very pleasant and accommodating. They are attentive to the needs of the customer. The place was cozy to catch up with a
friend. The ambiance was great for a relaxing day or even on a "me
time". The price range was reasonable enough for me. We will definitely
come back for a coffee and cake next time.
Opens Monday-Saturday
Store Hours: 10 A.M- 10 P.M
Let's talk again on my next blog.
Yes, YOU lovely gorgeous.
Love yourself because you are beautiful.
Hugs and Kisses,

It sure is a well decorated shop and yes, looks designed mostly for girls. LOL. It's creative and personally, I think it works. Looking at the menu, prices are reasonable but of course there is a trade off. The portions are definitely for girls.
ReplyDeleteomg this is just the cutest place ever! It sucks that the town I live in doesn't have such hidden gems! Maybe i should create some of my own!

ReplyDeletePretty little space. It has many fun decor ideas to look at :)
ReplyDeletelive simply, laugh often, love deeply got me thinking various things great way to mix up things (religion and life situations) and still stay true to its own domain.. a cafe to be modelled for every others...
ReplyDeletePretty place! I'm always game for anew cafe discovery. It's rather out of the way from my place up in Quezon City, though! Still, next time I find myself venturing to the South for a short holiday, it'll be useful to have this as an option. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethe place looks really sweet and pretty, and cozy too! well, i feel that in my country, such pretty looking cafes are forever lacking in food quality for the savoury mains. I can't say they serve us bad tasting food, but you can always find better food elsewhere than a cafe. i think you should totally try their cakes on your next visit. they sure look good!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that the dishes were not creative enough but they do sound delicious! I am sure they will take your notes on board!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! They have a good eye for detail. I love the abiance. They really put in an effort! The menu looks nice. Nice choices. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a nice place to spend time with friends or family. Also, the food looked delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! It's dainty and I love it. I'll visit here someday :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute place! I'm so jealous that I can't visit it. It seems like a great place to sit and read with a cup of tea.

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if this is the same as the store I saw in Muntinlupa. The ambience is sooo substantially cute and dainty!! I didnt know there's a hang out place like this in Southwoods. Looks like I see more of Instagrammable places this side of town. :)
