Yelp’s list of Australia’s best coffee places
Now Australians, unlike Americans and English, take their coffee seriously.
This is why Yelp has released its list of the top 100 coffee places in Australia.
Yelp is in a good position to do this. For those who don’t know already, the Yelp app publishes crowdsourced reviews of local businesses.
With that sort of data, the Yelp team analysed the coffee places that were the most popular and well-reviewed.
To do that, they set up a system comparing coffee spots across the country.
They used a ranking that considered total ratings and number of reviews. The team also took into account quality, popularity, and statistical fluctuations.
Not surprisingly, Melbourne comes out on top. Coffee and wearing black is very Melbourne and the city has a reputation of having the highest number of coffee lovers.,
Patricia, which is smack bang in the middle of Melbourne’s CBD, took out top honours.
The Yelp list had 27 Victorian coffee venues, more than any other state.
Western Australia is doing quite well too. It had 25 coffee venues in the top 100.
South Australia had three in the top 10 and New South Wales only one.
So here is the Yelp list.
