A modern little cafe/ dessert bar to sit in and enjoy. Friendly staff and lovely owners and tons of cakes and indulgent desserts that are all unique and deliciously perfect. I had the snickers which was so good and beautifully presented, a generous portion and taking all the elements of a snickers onto a plated dessert and not bad prices. Also have had their cakes which are moist and flavourful. I would put this to the top of my list of cafes to come to if you have a sweet tooth or just want a delicious home-made treat.
We came in for coffee and cake after having the most amazing sandwich next door. We had a selection of cakes and each one was lovely. Probably a bit greedy but the quality of cakes meant that it wasn’t sickly, would highly recommend the stout chocolate as it was lovely and chocolaty but not too sweet. Absolutely one of the best cake shops in the world, not just Norwich.
My boyfriend and I were so impressed with the delicious dessert plate that we came back the same day in the evening for the set menu, and after all that, we also took two cakes for takeaway! And I’m not even very much into sweets! Though me boyfriend is and he is very picky. These people know their sweet business and can please even the most demanding audience. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and an additional reason to come back to Norwich!
Oh my god. I had the salted caramel chocolate taute and it was the most incredible flavour. It came with too much ice cream, but that's a problem I can deal with.
The people I was with each had different desserts too and they were also exquisite.
The espresso was top notch too, and a lovely choice of music.
We went quite late and they were preparing the next days deserts.l with real ingredients (even fresh yeast).
It really is an amazing experience to round off any meal.
I didn't pay so I'm not sure what the coat is, but it felt expensive and I'm sure it was worth every penny!
Amazing cakes and nice coffee in this lovely cafe on St John Maddermarket. We have tried different cakes and they are all delicious! Friendly staff and atmosphere.
A truly delicious selection of cakes with a confident price tag. Figbar creates unique bites that excels expectations. The selection; freshness and the flavours are well constructed. Admittedly Figbar prices are certainly on the higher end of the spectrum but it’s expected when you are paying for this level of quality. For those on a budget, perhaps Figbar’s the place to go solely on a special occasion.
A great find, we had dinner elsewhere but they had a big delay on desserts. Glad that we left and stumbled across Figbar. Great desserts and atmosphere, only minor criticism was the music. It was very interesting music, just the volume was a little too high for my taste.
Popped in for coffe after shopping in the city. Two excellent coffees. An amazing savoury pastry with bacon, bree and fig. And a very adult granola square. Already planning to go back for Smores (a personal favourite from trips to America) and the snickers based dessert.
Update: still my favourite place in Norwich for sweet treats and a coffee.
Delicious ice creams in summer month as well.
Highly recommended
Isn't it all about the taste. It is alittle more expensive than the competition but you do instantly realise what you are paying for, the plated deserts are perfectly presented.
It has a very nice atmosphere, the staff could work on there customer care skills, I don't think anyone likes the fact the staff think they are above everyone else, this isn't the first time this has happened.
Absolutely amazing dessert menu (plated menu) which was nothing short of delicious. Wide selection of cakes and other yummy treats too. Served with very good coffee or even champagne! With wonderful friendly and helpful staff too. Will definitely be going back again.
I've been lucky enough to eat in a few 2 and 3 michelin star restaurants around the world and i can't honestly remember a more intensely flavoured yet balanced dessert than the one i just had here at Figbar. It would have been perfect after a full meal but as it was just dessert my only criticism is that i wanted more of it. The mocha coffee was, i think, the best i've ever had as well..
This is a regular place for me. It’s a bit on the small side and sometimes challenging to get anywhere to sit, they only take card and not cash.
The cakes and desserts are delicious and innovative and I would highly recommend them. Good coffee. also, I now have a drinks license and offer some delicious wines as well. I would love to see this place expand and have a few more tables are a little bit more comfortable to sit, but the product they sell is quite amazing. If the owner read this, I urge you to expand you won’t regret it.
Amazing cakes, some of the most amazing flavours I have tried in a desert. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. definitely would recommend if you are in Norwich.
Me and my partner regularly go to this place. Cakes change almost on a daily basis so it's a good enough reason to go at least twice a week! Amazing cakes and space to just relax... I wonder what I'll have today?!
Amazing desert place. Very friendly staff offering lots of choice and a good selection of drinks. The place is quite small so it might be difficult to find a seat
Just had an amazing saturday evening pudding, cocktail and coffee. Perfect after dinner on the market. Also great in the daytime.
Great atmosphere. Helpful staff. Chilled out so you don't feel rushed.
