We started with one oven and a very small plan
Fern & Fig opened in a narrow shop on the High Street in 2019, with two of us, a secondhand oven and a stubborn belief that a decent flat white and a proper slice of cake shouldn't be complicated.
Six years on we're still small, still baking every morning, and still learning the regulars' orders off by heart. Nothing here comes out of a packet.
A tearoom that actually feels like one
No queue system, no app, no rush. Bring a book, bring the dog, bring your mum on a Wednesday. We'll bring the pot.
Everything is baked on site each morning, the coffee is roasted forty minutes up the road, and the eggs come from a farm you could walk to. We buy locally because it tastes better, not because it looks good on a chalkboard.
We're proud of the fact that most of the faces through the door on a given morning are ones we recognise.
