Visitors consistently praise Te Mata Figs for its delicious fig-based offerings, especially the impressive range of gluten-free and dairy-free options at The Figgery Cafe. The charming atmosphere and the availability of unique fig products in the farm shop are also highlights. While most experiences are positive, some guests have noted occasional long wait times.
"Really enjoyed the figgery. The platter was lovely and suited our party of 3. Could do with a bit more bread and maybe another cheese, but well worth it. The tart I had was delicious. Would go back"
Dan Berry
"Bit of a disappointing experience, with long wait times—maybe down to an unforeseen staff shortage. Fair enough, but finding a hair in the food was not on. Staff were friendly enough, and the food and coffee were OK despite it all. My host was paying, so we didn’t want to make a fuss and just enjoyed our time together. Hopefully just an off day."
