Mano Figa is described as a lively spot known for exceptionally crafted sandwiches, especially mortadella and prosciutto varieties, with house made bread that adds texture and flavor. The coffee scene is praised as top tier, with several reviews calling the espresso balance, flat white, and even a pistachio dessert standout, and the focus on generous, well seasoned fillings; a few notes mention occasional inconsistency in coffee quality or service speed. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm, friendly, and bustling, with attentive staff and a welcoming vibe, though some visitors comment on noise and limited seating or language barriers for staff. Overall, Mano Figa comes across as a strong go-to for a satisfying lunch or coffee break, offering big, flavorful sandwiches and a lively, hospitable experience that draws people back for more.
The people at the counter were welcoming & the service was quite fast! We had ordered the Classico, the Bresaola sandwiches & the Mocha Freddo. We were pleased with how fresh the ingredients tasted, & the Mocha Freddo was refreshing & fitting with the summer weather. I'm guessing due to the warm temperature, there were quite a bit of flies swarming around the pastries, which was slightly off-putting 😟 Despite that, overall, quite enjoyed our experience & the food there (they also have cool merch 😎)
got the classico, best sandwich i've had all decade from anywhere. the staff is so friendly the vibe of the place is comforting, i love it, i'm incredibly satisfied.

Service is hit or miss, but the food is always amazing. If you can look past feeling like you're bothering the people working there by ordering, you'll love it.
The place unfortunately has an identity crisis. It looks like a cute Italian espresso bar on the outside then you walk in & there's a huge TV playing NBA games & the music is blasting 21 savage! If you know 21 savage you know the type of music. I went there in the morning around 9am to send a few emails while having coffee but I couldn't hear myself think of how loud the rap music was. I was also planning on getting their focaccia sandwich but I couldn't spend an extra second anymore so I just picked up my stuff & left. Definitely do not recommend the place to go sit there neither alone nor with someone. Maybe good only to pick up coffee or something to eat then leave.
Fore some reason they have a giant tv screen More of a bar than a coffee shop design ,the focaccia couldn't be heated up a little bit . Espresso was short aka 15 seconds yet overpulled aka 35ml approximately , wasn't a hard enough tamp so there's a lot of residue of the puck in the cup , inconsistent grind based on the residue, therefore they don't adjust it in the morning,red flag!!! The portafilters aren't cleaned immediately & the milk doesn't stay refrigerated So these are the same people that run crew collective? I suppose that place also fell off then .
I had literally the best sandwich of my life here & I am no stranger to a good sandwich. An absolute must, beautiful atmosphere too & lovely staff. I look forward to coming back here very soon!!
I don't want to knock this place too hard because the sandwiches are fantastic, but the wait is just too long. They really need another guy just on cold cuts duty instead of having one guy trying to do both cutting & assembling & bagging, & just not able keeping up. He's trying his best to batch them up, doing 5-6 at a time, but it's just not moving. Wether it's a week day lunch or a weekend, it's not unusual to wait up to 20 if not 30 mins for a sandwich. They're honestly great, & I keep coming back despite the wait, but for the sake of this place they should improve their workflow. I would spend more per sandwich or come more often if the sandwiches took 5 mins instead of 20.
