Every cafe trend we track in Hobart
What the cards show
Each card shows the average price on Hobart menus, or how many Hobart cafes have it so far when there is no price yet. The line is Hobart searches a month for the last 24 complete months, or cafes each quarter when there are too few searches.
Trends are grouped by stage, rising first. Within a stage, the trends in the most cafes in the last 90 days come first.
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 Hobart's figures
Hobart's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (387 Hobart cafes tracked, 124 with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Hobart cafes' posts yet, so this is a small sample and a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.

A cafe counts from the first Google review we found that mentions a trend, and while it is on its current menu. 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 15 Nov 2026. Change in how many of the same cafes had it: the last 90 days against the 90 before, among the 186 cafes we have read through both.
