Only one cafe has it so far.
Fewer than 5 Hobart cafes have it, or the first review we have is under 120 days old. It also covers anything on a small share of cafes that is holding steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

Drawn as a canelés, the way Hobart cafes most often serve it.

It's emerging: early days yet.
Hobart's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (124 Hobart cafes 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.

There were 40 searches for canele in Hobart in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 20 searches (Feb 2025) to 50 (Oct 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Hobart.
The earliest Hobart customer review about canele that The Froth has is from 26 Jul 2026. We only see what we collect, so that is when we first saw it, not when it started: it may have been sold earlier, here or elsewhere.
It is on a bigger share of Melbourne cafes: 1.1% against Hobart's 0%, over the last 90 days.
A typical canelés, drawn from Hobart cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with canelés (a vanilla and rum batter baked in fluted moulds until the crust caramelises; custardy inside). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe.
A cafe counts for canele from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with 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 new reviews or menus (15 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Hobart with all of a trend's names added up.
