3 Little Figs Is Moving into the Former Aroma Cafe Space in Somerville

A cafe and bistro in Somerville has closed its doors, and a Greek and Mediterranean baking company that is based in Jamaica Plain will be opening a retail outlet in the spot.

According to The Feast and a poster on Chowhound, 3 Little Figs is going to open on Highland Avenue, moving into the space where Aroma Cafe used to be until recently shutting down. The Feast mentions that the 3 Little Figs shop, which is planning to open in early September, will have 18 seats and a little patio outside. Items such as spinach pie, baklava, cinnamon doughnut muffins, gourmet coffee and espresso, and, eventually, salads and sandwiches, will be offered at the new spot.

Presently, 3 Little Figs sells their baked goods at City Feed and Supply in Jamaica Plain (two locations), Mystic Coffee Roaster in Medford, and Voltage Coffee and Art in Cambridge.

[October 28 update: According to their Twitter page, 3 Little Figs is now open in Somerville.]

The address for the now-closed Aroma Cafe (and new 3 Little Figs) is 278 Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA, 02143. The website for 3 Little Figs can be found at http://www.3littlefigs.com/3LittleFigs-Tasty_Bakin/Tasty_Bakin.html
