Uber Eats reveals Australia’s biggest cravings

Australia has officially hit one billion Uber Eats deliveries and, to mark the milestone, the 2025 ‘Uber Eats Cravings Report’ has arrived.

Now in its seventh year, the report analyses millions of orders to uncover the trends, quirks and cravings shaping how Australians eat, drink and live.

Highlights from this year’s report include:

  • The nation’s fast food go-to. 10-piece nuggets and burgers were the most-ordered combo of the year.
  • Largest single grocery order. One hungry shopper ordered 70 bananas in one delivery.
  • Zero-sugar surge. Orders for zero-sugar soft drinks more than doubled year-on-year.
  • Matcha madness. Orders for matcha 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.
  • Hot chips – our unofficial national dish. Chips topped orders in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and Western Australia, while NSW and the ACT backed Pad Thai. South Australia and the Northern Territory went “carb-crazy” for garlic bread and naan.
  • Sweet divide. When it came to ice cream, chocolate was the favourite in NSW, the ACT and Tasmania, while choc-chip dough cooled down Queensland and WA. Victoria went classic with vanilla, and SA opted for cookies and cream.
  • Hey, big spender. NSW takes the crown for the largest single order, totalling $3163.
  • Peak family pick-me-up. On both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the top ordered item was 10-piece nuggets.

“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,” says Uber Eats Australia & New Zealand Managing Director Ed Kitchen.

“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.”
