The best toasties I’ve had in years! Honestly sooo delightful. Great service, and they have never once mentioned religion to us - they are just good, kind people. They do wonderful work for the community too with free meals for those in need.

Cute cafe along Sydney Rd in Brunswick. They have a variety of sandwiches to pick from; ham, tuna, chicken, cheese & pesto. I had their banana bread chicken and avocado with Camembert cheese. It was nice and toasty with lots of filling. Had a soy latte which was delicious.

Made the best egg & bacon roll I've had a minute and was offered a free cookie with my delicious coffee by the friendly staff. Will go back again when I feel the need for a bacon and egg roll!

Cute place with lovely staff. It's very God themed which is actually really cool, I like a place that feels unapologetically authentic. I had the Roast Chicken Toastie which came with pickles! And crisps and rocket. So cute! My only tiny griped would be that it needed a lot more fig glaze. You need a stronger flavour to cut through the Chicken, Camembert and Avocado which are all mild flavours. But still worth it all the same and totally worth a visit

I ordered the soup of the day ( lamb with plenty of vegetables ), with buttered toast. The soup, homemade, was absolutely delicious. I also took an additional soup home with me. The service was exceptional I will definitely be calling in to The Lamb & Fig again.

Adorable community cafe with a British bent. Spacious layout with old-school tables and chairs. The service is equally old-school, with some of the sweetest staff around. When I was there, homemade biscuits were offered around to customers. My toastie was cheesily delicious and I am intrigued by the Bacon Butty. Will try that one next time.
