Every cafe trend we track in Canberra
How this list is counted
Cafes and suburbs are counted so far. Shares are of cafes with a current menu in the last 90 days, a chain counting once, to 13 Nov 2026.
Each card shows the average price on Canberra menus and Canberra searches a month for the last 24 complete months.
Micro means fewer than 10 cafes have posted it in the last 90 days in every city we track. The tag goes by itself once 10 or more cafes in any city have it.
About Canberra's figures
Canberra's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (902 Canberra cafes tracked, 165 with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Canberra cafes' posts yet, so this is a small sample and a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.

How these are counted
A cafe counts from the first Google review we found that mentions a trend, and while it is on its current menu. Shares are of every cafe we followed in the last 90 days. Change in how many of the same cafes had it: the last 90 days against the 90 before, among the 315 cafes we have read through both.
