A Local Spot Built For Connection

Figtree Social has quickly become a favourite among Yeerongpilly locals for its honest, ingredient-focused food and relaxed atmosphere. Located at 25 Figtree Street in Yeerongpilly Green Riverside Village, the café was founded by hospitality veteran Tze-Huei “TH” Choo and chef Libbie Butler. 

The pair aimed to create a space that feels both thoughtful and welcoming. Their menu shifts with the seasons while keeping to simple Australian flavours. Each dish highlights fresh produce and supports regional suppliers.

Simple Food With Native Flair

The menu combines classic breakfast dishes with native Australian ingredients. Highlights include the kangaroo pot pie, avocado toast with finger lime and whipped feta, and a mushroom damper cob with chimichurri butter. 

Seasonal specials, such as the Hot Smoked Trout Bagel, keep the offerings fresh. Each dish focuses on bold flavour and quality produce.

Seasonal Flavours And Local Pride

Recent social media updates reflect Figtree Social’s focus on freshness and community. Their “October line-up” features a yuzu matcha soda with elderflower, a housemade tiramisu paired with Passport Cold Brew, and the trout bagel special. 

They also promote accessible offers, such as a $9.99 combo for any coffee with a bacon and egg roll, appealing to both weekday commuters and weekend diners. Each promotion strengthens the café’s reputation for quality, creativity, and inclusivity.

Community Dining Done Right

The venue seats around 55 guests and was designed with natural textures, soft light, and subtle country influences that make the space feel comfortable and local. Choo and Butler’s goal is for every visit to feel personal, whether someone stops in for a quick coffee or a slow Sunday brunch.
