A friend of mine put this list together on Twitter of the various trends we’ve gone through over the years and I thought it was so on point!
2010: Year of the Cupcake
2011: Year of the Froyo
2012: Year of the Gelato
2013: Year of the Karak
2014: Year of the Pistachio
2015: Year of the Pudding
2016: Year of the Chicken Burger
2017: Year of the Lotus
2018: Year of the Coffee
2019: Year of the Healthy Diet Boxes
2020: Year of the Shawarma
2021: Year of the Matcha
The only thing missing is the San Sebastian cheesecake phase we went through back in 2018.

I don’t know what the heck I was doing in 2019. I missed the Pistachio phase. What was it about?
Meant to write 2014, instead of 2019
Pick pistachio sauce and all the copy cats
you missed up the year of the Nutella and the year of the Doner
you missed dynamite shrimps somewhere between 2009 to 2011
2021 Matcha? Wasn’t that like a few years ago?

We are currently going through a Croissant phase with all these fancy bakeries.
I anticipate a short uptrend in the bagel sector in the coming months as more and more authentic bagel joints are popping up.
