Yuzu in Melbourne
Rising
Searches in Melbourne are up 35% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025), though too few of the same cafes have it to read a change (5, against none in the 90 days before).
At least 10 cafes had it in the last 90 days, and either the number of the same cafes with it grew by a quarter or more on the 90 days before (counting only cafes we have read through both periods, and at least 10 of them), or it is new among them, or Melbourne searches rose by a quarter or more while those cafes held steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

What yuzu is in
Every cafe menu that names yuzu is sorted into one kind of drink by its words: a burger, a toastie and a wrap are all "burgers, sandwiches & wraps".
Each shop counts once, under the drink we list it for below, so a cafe with yuzu on several drinks shows under one of them.
The usual price is the middle price of those menus, with a chain's price counted once so one chain can't set it, shown when at least three cafes list a price.

When did yuzu first show up in Melbourne cafes?
The earliest Melbourne cafe post or customer review about yuzu that The Froth has is from 21 Aug 2024. 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.
How does The Froth count this?
A cafe counts for yuzu 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 (14 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.
