First seen hereFirst seen here
Dates are the first post we have from a Essendon Fields cafe, or a customer posting from one, since 1 Jul 2025. A first post is when a trend shows up in what we collect, not when or where it began.
We saw 1 of 5 arrive: we had already been following that cafe for 60 days, so the date is close to when it turned up. A hollow dot is just the first post we could read.
Our records start in Jul 2025, so a trend posted here that month was most likely here already. Beside each later one: how many of the suburbs where we saw it arrive had it before Essendon Fields.

Too few cafes
“We follow”: cafes whose posts we read that posted in the last 90 days.
“Trends seen” counts posts, reviews, menus and press: 15 here, 5 of them in posts from its cafes.
The North West as a whole is average.
- Very trendy1.5 times Melbourne's trend activity or more, from at least 3 cafes.
- Trendy1.2 times Melbourne or more, from at least 2 cafes.
- Averageclose to Melbourne as a whole.
- Classicabout two thirds of Melbourne or less.
- Too few cafesfewer 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.
Only 2 cafes we follow, and a band needs 5.

Which part of Melbourne is Essendon Fields in?
We group Essendon Fields (3041) with 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.
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 14 Nov 2026.
