Tambia studied Instagram data in more than 360 cities to discover where is home to the most beautiful coffee shops in the world, using mentions of coffee-related words and locations.
The results confirmed that Aussies really love their coffee.

Tambia’s research also revealed just how diverse the coffee scene is around the world, ranging from hearty espressos in Italy, to kopi (coffee with sweetened condensed milk) in Singapore.
“Instagram is a fantastic place to find the trendiest spots to visit, especially if you are travelling to a new city,” Sarah Del Corral, partner at Tambia said.
“A cup of joe is such a natural part of our day to day, even when overseas, so it’s wonderful to see people share the places they love the most on social media. We hope our research serves as inspiration to guide you on your next travel and take in the colours, scents and wonderful sights that cities around the world have to offer, while you enjoy a locally authentic brew.”
