Blac Fig’s story is a tribute to the founders’ parents, who migrated from Greece to build a new life in Australia. Their legacy of family, hospitality, and a deep appreciation for good food continues to shape everything the business stands for today. Their courage—and the commitment of all who came before them—remains at the heart of Blac Fig’s journey.
The business began in 1991 as a humble corner store in beautiful Sandy Bay, Hobart. Over the years, it has grown into one of Tasmania’s most celebrated independent café‑grocers, known for its warm atmosphere, locally sourced produce, and in‑house fine foods. Blac Fig’s mission is simple: to share the joy of great food, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality with the community.
Blac Fig now offers an extensive range of products, including homemade artisan gelato, pastries, ready meals, fresh fruit and vegetables, quality meats, and a thoughtful selection of everyday and specialty groceries.
As the community’s needs have grown, so has Blac Fig—expanding into a larger store, enhancing its café offering, introducing online shopping, and continually refining its selection of local and in‑house products. The heart of the business remains unchanged: good food, good people, and a love of bringing both together.
