It is early days. The Froth rates turkish eggs as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (4.4% in the last 90 days) and holding steady. In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 4.4% of the Melbourne cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 1,204 cafes we have followed through both periods, 11 of the same cafes had it, against 10 in the 90 days before (up 10%).

A cafe counts for turkish eggs from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with cafe posts or reviews (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Melbourne with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
