Figs Cafe & Farmacy — Restaurant in Anderson

I've lived in Anderson for my entire life and was furious with myself for not going to Fig's sooner once I finally went today! I left the house today only knowing that I was starving and that I had to find somewhere to sit quietly to study while eating. I decided to try out Figs on a whim and am so ridiculously glad I did!

From the beginning, the staff were all so warm & friendly. The cashier that took my order was exceptionally awesome and even helped me find a prime study location within the dining area. Not only were the staff wonderful, the food was absolutely amazing. I went with the daily special, which was chicken salad, cheese, and bacon on a pretzel roll with pasta salad. The sandwich was perfectly prepared. The pasta salad is a bit sweet, which was unexpected, but it was very tasty. As a bonus, your drink and a scoop of ice cream are included in the price of the special ($12).

Basically, I wrote all of this to say to the staff... I hope you like my face because you're going to see it a LOT more often while I finish getting this degree. ;) I can't wait...

There are a lot of things I really like about this location. The ice cream is pretty good and it is fun to sit outside on the rocking chairs. It is also a great location. The attached farmacy also has great selection.

Unfortunately, I found the smoothie I got to be pretty gross. It was made from some sort of pre-made pouch rather than fresh and it tasted like it. I couldn't finish it.

On two other occasions they were weird about the special Clemson ice cream. At first they were going to let me have once scoop of the specialty ice cream and one scoop of the regular, even though I was willing to pay the higher price for both. They did finally relent. Another time they wouldn't make a milkshake with the special ice cream for my mother even though she didn't mind paying an additional fee to cover the more expensive ice cream... I disagree with not allowing people to pay more for what they want, but if that is the policy there could...

Cute place, I expected a bit better overall but my food was really good, so also not bad by any means. I got a biscuit with egg, havarti, sausage, & tomato and an affrogato with chocolate caramel ice cream and decaf espresso, all for about $10, which is not bad at all!

I kinda had to go looking for someone to take my order (they were on what I thought of as the "store" side, not the "cafe" side), and the offerings in the store were a bit lacking, I though. Some really good options, but not very unique or much of it.

There is lots of table seating in the cafe, tons more outside, and some larger tables and upholstered furniture on...
