About average
8 of the 67 cafes we read in the last 90 days posted a rising drink, and 13 different trends in six months.
“We follow”: cafes whose posts we read that posted in the last 90 days.
- Very trend-forward1.5 times Melbourne's trend activity or more, from at least 3 cafes.
- Trend-forward1.2 times Melbourne or more, from at least 2 cafes.
- About averageclose to Melbourne as a whole.
- Sticks to the classicsabout two thirds of Melbourne 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 Melbourne as a whole.
Each part compares a place's cafes with Melbourne. 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 Melbourne, 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.

Ahead of MelbourneAhead and missing
Ahead: rising trends cafes here post more than Melbourne's do, with at least 5 cafes here posting and a share at least 1.25 times Melbourne's. “2x” is twice the Melbourne share.
Not here yet: trends Melbourne's cafes post widely that few cafes here have. We list one when the Melbourne share would put at least 3 cafes here and we saw half that or fewer.
A gap means we did not see it in the posts we see, not that no cafe here sells it. Last 90 days, 16 Aug to 13 Nov 2026.

The North West's signature, the trend it posts most against Melbourne, is Biscoff: 4.6x the Melbourne share.

Suburb by suburbHow the trend score works
40 suburbs, 4 with enough cafes to score. Beside each band: how many of the cafes we follow there posted a rising drink in the last 90 days. Only suburbs with 12 or more cafes we follow are put in order; the rest are listed A to Z under "Too few cafes to rank".
- Very trend-forward1.5 times Melbourne's trend activity or more, from at least 3 cafes.
- Trend-forward1.2 times Melbourne or more, from at least 2 cafes.
- About averageclose to Melbourne as a whole.
- Sticks to the classicsabout two thirds of Melbourne 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 Melbourne as a whole.
Each part compares a place's cafes with Melbourne. 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 Melbourne, 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.

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.

Where can I get Matcha in the North West?
We have seen Matcha at 73 cafes in the North West across posts, reviews, menus and press, as at 13 Nov 2026. The most recent sightings: Best Bean Best Cup Coffee Roasters (Keilor Park), The Sip Lounge (Coolaroo), moffee (Craigieburn), Roasting Warehouse | Airport West (Airport West) and Bal Bakes (Craigieburn). Each one on this page links to where we saw it.
What is the North West's signature cafe drink?
Biscoff. In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 7% of the cafes in the North West we followed posted it (5 of 67), 4.6x the Melbourne share of 2%. No other tracked trend is as far ahead of the Melbourne share there.
Which suburbs are in the North West?
From Keilor, Niddrie and Strathmore past the airport to Glenroy, Pascoe Vale, Coburg North and Broadmeadows, north through Roxburgh Park to Craigieburn and Mickleham, and out to Sunbury, Gisborne and the Macedon Ranges towns. We track cafes in 40 of its suburbs: Airport West, Attwood, Avondale Heights, Benloch, Broadmeadows, Campbellfield, Coburg North, Coolaroo, Craigieburn, Dallas, Diggers Rest, Essendon Fields, Fawkner, Gisborne, Gisborne South, Gladstone Park, Glenroy, Greenvale, Hadfield, Jacana, Kalkallo, Keilor, Keilor East, Keilor Park, Macedon, Meadow Heights, Melbourne Airport, Mickleham, New Gisborne, Niddrie, Oak Park, Pascoe Vale, Riddells Creek, Romsey, Roxburgh Park, Somerton, Strathmore, Tullamarine, Westmeadows, Yuroke.
How is this worked out?
We track every cafe we can find in Melbourne. 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.
