Australia has officially hit one billion Uber Eats deliveries and, to mark the milestone, the 2025 Uber Eats Cravings Report has landed, revealing the dishes, drinks, and quirky habits that defined the nation’s appetite this year. 

Now in its seventh year globally, the Uber Eats Cravings Report analyses millions of orders to uncover the trends, quirks and cravings shaping how Australians eat, drink and live. This year’s findings include a customer who ordered 70 bananas in one go, a super-user with 2,300 deliveries (including 400 cappuccinos), and proof of Australia’s undying love of caffeine – from matcha and zero-sugar soft drinks to coffee in all its glorious forms. 

So, what did Aussies crave in 2025?

  • The nation’s fast food go-to: Ten-piece nuggets and burgers were the most-ordered combo of the year, proving to be the dynamic duo of comfort food.
  • Largest single grocery order: One hungry shopper ordered 70 bananas in one delivery (surprisingly, not to a zoo!)
  • Zero-sugar surge: Orders for zero-sugar soft drinks more than doubled year-on-year, proving Aussies still want the bubbles, just without the sugar crash.
  • Matcha madness: Orders for the green stuff jumped 217% in two years – with hundreds of thousands of orders in NSW leading the green-tea takeover.
  • Superfood spike: Acai bowl fever continues with orders for the superfood doubling in the last two years.  
  • We’re a nation fuelled by caffeine: Millions of coffees were ordered this year, but not one state crowned the flat white their favourite.
    • Cappuccinos ruled in NSW, ACT and WA
    • Lattes took out SA, VIC and TAS
    • Iced lattes powered QLD and NT through the heat
  • Hot chips – our unofficial national dish: Chips topped orders in QLD, VIC, TAS and WA, while NSW and the ACT backed Pad Thai. SA and NT went carb-crazy for garlic bread and naan. Salt was the #1 add-on nationwide – shaken onto more than 13 million orders. Aussies are powered by potatoes and united by sodium.
  • Sweet divide: When it came to ice-cream, chocolate was the favourite in NSW, ACT and TAS, while choc-chip dough cooled down QLD and WA. VIC went classic with vanilla, and SA opted for cookies and cream.
  • Hey, big spender: NSW takes the crown for the largest single order, totaling $3,163 – hopefully shared (but no judgement if not). 
  • Peak family pick-me-up: On both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the top ordered item (and seemingly perfect gift) was… ten-piece nuggets. Nothing says “I love you” like sharing a pack of nuggs. 

Ed Kitchen, Managing Director of Uber Eats Australia & New Zealand said: “Whether it’s 6am coffees, late-night chips, weekly groceries or 70 bananas in one go – Aussies have made Uber Eats part of their daily routine. We’re proud to help customers get (almost) anything when they need it most. 

“Hitting one billion deliveries is a huge milestone, not just for us, but for the 60,000 merchants, delivery people, and customers who make every moment of convenience possible. From just 300 restaurant partners at launch to millions of deliveries each week, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come in under a decade.”

This year’s data shows Uber Eats has moved well beyond late-night snacks. The fastest-growing reason Australians are ordering isn’t midnight cravings – it’s hosting, with larger gatherings and celebration meals up considerably over the past two years. 

Weekday brekkie is booming too, while family dinner remains one of the most ordered moments on the platform. From post-school treats to parties, avo toast to anniversaries, Uber Eats has evolved from an occasional convenience into part of the rhythm of daily Australian life.
