About average
4 of the 10 cafes we read in the last 90 days posted a rising drink, and 9 different trends in six months.
“We follow”: cafes whose posts we read that posted in the last 90 days.
- Very trend-forward1.5 times Brisbane's trend activity or more, from at least 3 cafes.
- Trend-forward1.2 times Brisbane or more, from at least 2 cafes.
- About averageclose to Brisbane as a whole.
- Sticks to the classicsabout two thirds of Brisbane or less.
- Too few cafes to sayfewer cafes we follow than a band needs.
The three glasses: Range, how many different trends each cafe posts. Rising, how many cafes post a drink that is rising now. New, how many cafes tried a trend new to them. A fuller glass means more than Brisbane as a whole.
Each part compares a place's cafes with Brisbane. Range counts at most 3 trends per cafe over 180 days. Rising is cafes posting a rising or emerging trend in 90 days. New is cafes posting a trend for the first time in 90 days, and counts half.
Every part is pulled toward Brisbane, as if 8 average cafes were added, so two or three cafes can't swing it. A suburb needs 5 cafes we followed in 180 days, an area 10.
We follow posts from only some cafes, so the band depends on which ones. That is why it is a band with its sample, never a rank. Suburbs inside a band are listed by how many cafes we follow.

What's trending hereHow these shares work
Each bar is the share of the 10 cafes here we followed in the last 90 days (16 Aug to 13 Nov 2026) that posted the trend, against the 256 across Brisbane.
“2x Brisbane” means twice the Brisbane share. It shows only when at least 3 cafes here and 5 across Brisbane posted the trend.
Ipswich and the South West's signature, the trend it posts most against Brisbane, is Taro: 1.3x the Brisbane rate, counting posts, reviews, menus and press.
We don't compare with the 90 days before: we follow many more cafes now than then.

Taro. Counting posts, reviews, menus and press, it shows up at 10 of the 247 cafes we have seen anything from in Ipswich and the South West (4.0%), 1.3x the Brisbane rate of 3.0%, as at 13 Nov 2026. Too few cafes there posted in the last 90 days to compare on posts alone.
Which suburbs are in Ipswich and the South West?
From Oxley, Darra, Inala and Forest Lake through Goodna, Redbank Plains and Springfield to Ipswich, Brassall and Ripley, and out to Rosewood, Laidley, Fernvale and Boonah. We track cafes in 77 of its suburbs: Amberley, Aratula, Augustine Heights, Barellan Point, Bellbird Park, Blackstone, Boonah, Booval, Brassall, Brookwater, Bundamba, Camira, Chuwar, Collingwood Park, Coominya, Crowley Vale, Darra, Doolandella, Dugandan, Durack, East Ipswich, Eastern Heights, Ebbw Vale, Fernvale, Flinders View, Forest Hill, Forest Lake, Gailes, Glenore Grove, Goodna, Haigslea, Harrisville, Inala, Ipswich, Kalbar, Karana Downs, Kensington Grove, Laidley, Lake Clarendon, Leichhardt, Lowood, Marburg, Moogerah, Newtown, North Ipswich, North Tivoli, One Mile, Oxley, Plainland, Raceview, Redbank, Redbank Plains, Richlands, Rifle Range, Ripley, Riverview, Rosewood, Sadliers Crossing, Silkstone, South Ripley, Spring Mountain, Springfield, Springfield Central, Springfield Lakes, Summerholm, Sumner, Tarampa, Teviotville, Thagoona, Toogoolawah, Wacol, Walloon, West Ipswich, White Rock, Willowbank, Woodend, Yamanto.
How is this worked out?
We track every cafe we can find in Brisbane. We read the public posts of the ones we follow, plus customer reviews, cafe menus and food press. A cafe counts for a trend when it, or a customer posting from it, posted about it. Creators' posts never count as proof a cafe sells something.
A share is the cafes posting a trend in the last 90 days, out of the cafes in the same place that posted anything then. An area needs at least 10 such cafes before we show one. "First seen" is the earliest post we have since 1 Jul 2025. That is when a trend shows up in what we collect, not when or where it started. Figures run to 13 Nov 2026.
