About average
19 of the 92 cafes we read in the last 90 days posted a rising drink, and 15 different trends in six months.
“We follow”: cafes whose posts we read that posted in the last 90 days.
- Very trend-forward1.5 times Sydney's trend activity or more, from at least 3 cafes.
- Trend-forward1.2 times Sydney or more, from at least 2 cafes.
- About averageclose to Sydney as a whole.
- Sticks to the classicsabout two thirds of Sydney 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 Sydney as a whole.
Each part compares a place's cafes with Sydney. 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 Sydney, 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.

“2x Sydney” means twice the Sydney share. It shows only when at least 3 cafes here and 5 across Sydney posted the trend.
The Eastern Suburbs's signature, the trend it posts most against Sydney, is Matcha: 1.4x the Sydney share.

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.

Questions about the Eastern Suburbs
What cafe drinks are trending in the Eastern Suburbs?
In the 90 days to 14 Nov 2026, the tracked trends most posted by cafes in the Eastern Suburbs were Matcha (22% of cafes, 20 cafes), Iced latte (7% of cafes, 6 cafes) and Cold brew (7% of cafes, 6 cafes). Shares are of the 92 cafes there we followed in that time.

The Eastern Suburbs as a whole is about average. Suburbs inside a band are not ranked, because a band depends on which cafes we follow.
Where can I get Matcha in the Eastern Suburbs?
We have seen Matcha at 194 cafes in the Eastern Suburbs across posts, reviews, menus and press, as at 14 Nov 2026. The most recent sightings: Mecca Coffee - Glenmore Road (Paddington), Cali Press Cafe & Breakfast Randwick (Randwick), Cappstar Pty Ltd (Matraville), The TinPin Bakery (Bondi) and Cafe Rafaele (Coogee). Each one on this page links to where we saw it.
What is the Eastern Suburbs's signature cafe drink?
Matcha. In the 90 days to 14 Nov 2026, 22% of the cafes in the Eastern Suburbs we followed posted it (20 of 92), 1.4x the Sydney share of 16%. No other tracked trend is as far ahead of the Sydney share there.
Which suburbs are in the Eastern Suburbs?
East of the city from Paddington and Bondi Junction to the beaches at Bondi, Bronte and Coogee, north to Watsons Bay and south through Randwick and Maroubra to La Perouse. We track cafes in 37 of its suburbs: Bellevue Hill, Bondi, Bondi Beach, Bondi Junction, Bronte, Centennial Park, Chifley, Clovelly, Coogee, Daceyville, Darling Point, Double Bay, Dover Heights, Eastgardens, Edgecliff, Hillsdale, Kensington, Kingsford, La Perouse, Little Bay, Malabar, Maroubra, Matraville, Moore Park, North Bondi, Paddington, Pagewood, Phillip Bay, Queens Park, Randwick, Rose Bay, South Coogee, Tamarama, Vaucluse, Watsons Bay, Waverley, Woollahra.
How is this worked out?
We track every cafe we can find in Sydney. 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.
