Australia’s coffee culture Australians are coffee aficionados, whether it be homebrew, a coffee to-go, or a coffee catch-up at their favorite café. Around three-quarters of Australian adults enjoy at least one cup of coffee a day, and almost one in two Australian households owns a coffee machine.

While Australia and New Zealand have not yet managed to settle the dispute on where the beverage originates, the flat white remains a staple on café menus across the country and is gaining traction in metropolitan cities around the world.

Australia's café and restaurant landscape has shown consistent growth in recent years. Over 55,700 cafés and restaurants were in operation across the country at the end of the 2024 financial year, up from approximately 41,570 in 2017. Australia's coffee shop network Not only has the number of cafés and restaurants trended upwards nationwide in recent years, the annual revenue of these venues reached a new peak in 2024. The states of New South Wales and Victoria are home to the majority of Australia's food service establishments, owing to their higher population densities. International café chains such as McCafé and Jack's Café, alongside domestic coffee franchise The Coffee Club, boast the highest number of locations across popular coffee shops in Australia. Still, they rank below cafés like Donut King, Zarraffa's, and Gloria Jean's in terms of overall customer satisfaction. Australia's most beloved beverage Coffee is deeply rooted in the everyday lives of Australians, with the hot beverage coming in as the country's most regularly consumed beverage in a 2024 survey. Several Australians consume the beverage every day or, in some cases, multiple times a day, and the annual domestic consumption of coffee has remained above two million sixty-kilogram bags for the past four years. In particular, cappuccinos and lattes enjoy a high popularity among Australians. Nonetheless, although the country observes high coffee consumption levels, cost-of-living pressures have led to a desire to reduce spending on takeout coffee and the rising intention to consume coffee at home instead of in cafés.
