Pickle & Fig

THE GOOD: Went there specifically to try their smoothie bowls and it was indeed an experience. A smoothie bowl will set you back between RM15 to RM20 and is fairly small, in my opinion. The smoothie base is topped with fresh fruit and nuts, served in an eclectic coconut-​shell bowl and matching spoon. I’d say it’s worth a try because it was indeed yummy and most definitely healthy but I doubt I’d be returning cause it didn’t really fill me up, especially for the price I paid. However this is more a personal preference than a comment on the quality of their food.
THE BAD: We were waiting a good 30 minutes to be served our 3 smoothie bowls. While this would have be been fine at a restaurant, I think for brunch at a café, 30 minutes is far too long a wait. I was STARVING by the time my tiny-​ass smoothie bowl arrived. Don’t go there if you’re famished cause you’ll just get crankier from the wait.
OVERALL: Smoothie bowls are fun! But expensive. Worth a try though if you’ve got the cash to spare and the time to wait.

I got to say, they’re service was really not great. I mean the place was empty but they were not friendly to me. I came with my nephew because of the churros so I didn’t think much of it and ate there. The churros to be honest was not THat great. I’ve had better.

— If you like paying extra for seemingly healthier food, aka pesto and giant mushrooms, here’s the place to go. (RM 15 – 25)
— Portions are not exactly stellar in size. I give the food ⁷⁄₁₀
— Flat white — coarse, taste stronger than it should, and comes in a small cup. ⁷⁄₁₀
— Tables are very good for one person to do work, or two people to sit and chat. 2 – 4 power outlets.
— There is a long table at the corner for large workgroups.
— They have some board games and card games, good for small groups to hang out in the evenings to chill. Would recommend.
— I’ll take more pictures when I come back within a month.
— Tables tend to be a little sticky
— Chairs are comfortable for long sitting.
— Music was loud in the evening, possibly for closing up, but can be overwhelming without earphones.
— Plenty of water jugs, very handy, plus points for this.
— Two toilets, tends to be clean but wet.
— WiFi is working well now. No complaints.
— Customers on weekends are a mix of small families and young groups. Evenings are mostly young, multiracial, attractive crowd.
— Giant glass door/​window/​wall allows for a nice bright environment in the day time. Good for people watching.

Came across this café one day as my friend and I were attempting to go café hopping in TTDI. The shop is tucked in a far corner of TTDI and looks really attractive from outside. As I entered, the huge chalkboard menu caught my eyes and I was so drawn into the variety in their menu! The staff greeted me as I entered and were very polite to me throughout the night. However, 2 of the things I ordered I was not satisfied with. I initially had wanted to order the Triple Cooked Wedges, but that was out of stock so I ordered the Smoked Turkey Roll Cheddar along with a cup of Mango Mint. The panini was really, really dry I found it hard to swallow it. I didn’t really enjoy the combination of the dryness with the sauteed mushrooms inside which kind of made it half-​dry, half-​not? The drink was below average. It tasted like blended ice with mango and a few mint leaves without the supposed pineapple and banana in there.
I’d like to believe this place is great though and maybe I just had an awful one time here because of my luck. What’s all the roar about? Well I can’t say for sure from my experience of course but at least the staff were really nice to me which made me feel very welcomed to the store but besides that, I didn’t think much of this place. :-(

The last I went to Pickle & Fig was after dinner hours. There wasn’t many customers, so the place was quiet — a perfect environment to do some catching up with friends. We decided to order some food to share, since we’ve had our dinner earlier on.
I read through their menu and saw that they have quite an extensive food menu serving Panini, sandwiches, salads, small bites and some main dishes. We ordered a Beef Bolognese and Churros to share.
I love churros a lot and was very much looking forward to try it. The churros was served warm and the texture was very light. It came with a chocolate dipping sauce and a caramel dipping sauce. Personally, I would prefer the caramel dipping sauce better. The Beef Bolognese was not bad too — thought the pasta wasn’t perfectly cooked but the minced beef was flavourful.
The staffs were very friendly during our visits, and the food was good. Although they might not be the best coffee place in TTDI, but I they are definitely one of the best places to have some healthy food.

Came across this place when my café hopper colleague suggested that we try out this café during lunch time. This café serve western food such as sandwiches, salad and snacks (finger food). During lunch time, they have set lunch to cater for working people like us. I find that their menu have very limited choices as a lunch time place but sufficient if you’re there just to have a cuppa coffee and grab some snacks. Besides, their portion is quite small too for the price we are paying. But overall the ambience was alright, quite relaxing especially after an exhausting morning at work. Nice place to recharge for the rest of the day especially with a cup of coffee.

Healthy food + Fresh coffee + Smoothies
Pickle & Fig offers the freshest panini’s and sandwiches in TTDI!
Fun fact: They won the Best Healthy Eats in the Time Out KL Food Awards 2014!
I had their award winning Rokraut Pastrami which filled with beef pastrami, rotkraut, & mozzarella. It was amazing.
I had a «Goji Me» smoothie (strawberry, goji, apple, pineapple & yoghurt) to wash it all down.
Overall a nice place to chill at, but parking can be a pain during office hours.

There are no other coffee shops in town that has a big wall that you can scribble on. It’s true! At the sitting area outside, on the left side, if you sit, your back will be facing a big wall that says «before I die …» with notes from all the different customers. Every table offers a tray of colorful chalks for you to play with.
I honestly think this personalizes every customer’s experience with this place.
They also have many board games to offer for those that intend to hang longer than an hour!
The food menu varies. They have an ‘ok’ selection of sandwiches and pastas. Nothing extraordinary about the cakes though. I would come here to introduce a cool shop concept to my friends for sure because not only the experience is unique but the store is cozy too.
