When did pandan first show up in Adelaide cafes?

What is in a pandan latte?

A typical pandan latte, drawn from Adelaide cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with pandan leaf (a knotted leaf, mostly for the smell), espresso (a double shot poured on last), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and pandan milk (milk with pandan syrup, often with coconut, about 200 ml). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

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 (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Adelaide with all of a trend's names added up.
