Only one cafe has it so far.
Fewer than 5 Brisbane cafes have it, or the first cafe post or review we have is under 120 days old, or creators are posting it before any cafe has it. It also covers anything on a small share of cafes that is holding steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

Brisbane cafes also sell coconut water espresso as "coconut iced long black". The Froth counts every one of these names as the same trend, from cafes' own posts and menus.
There were 190 searches for coconut water espresso in Brisbane in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 50 searches (Feb 2025) to 270 (May 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Brisbane.
It is on a bigger share of Gold Coast cafes: 1.3% against Brisbane's 0.1%, over the last 90 days.
The earliest Brisbane cafe post or customer review about coconut water espresso that The Froth has is from 21 Aug 2026. We only see what we collect, so that is when we first saw it, not when it started: it may have been sold earlier, here or elsewhere.
A typical coconut water espresso, drawn from Brisbane cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with espresso (a double shot poured slowly over the ice so it floats), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and coconut water (chilled, about 180 ml, poured over the ice first). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.
A cafe counts for coconut water espresso from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or 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 cafe posts or reviews (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Brisbane with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
