About average
3 of the 12 cafes we read in the last 90 days posted a rising drink, and 10 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 12 cafes here we followed in the last 90 days (17 Aug to 14 Nov 2026) that posted the trend, against the 282 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.
We don't compare with the 90 days before: we follow many more cafes now than then.

New arrivalsNew arrivals
A trend arrives in a suburb with the first post we have from there, by a cafe or a customer posting from one. The cafe may have sold it before we started following it, so it is not where a trend began.
These are the 12 newest. Each suburb's page has its full timeline.

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 14 Nov 2026.
