What pandan is in
Every cafe menu that names pandan is sorted into one kind of drink by its words: a burger, a toastie and a wrap are all "burgers, sandwiches & wraps".
Each shop counts once, under the drink we list it for below, so a cafe with pandan on several drinks shows under one of them.
The usual price is the middle price of those menus, with a chain's price counted once so one chain can't set it, shown when at least three cafes list a price.

When did pandan first show up in Canberra cafes?

How does The Froth count this?
A cafe counts for pandan from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with new reviews or menus (15 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Canberra with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
