Illustrative: a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.
Where to get oneWe haven't seen it on a Canberra cafe menu or in a Canberra cafe's own post yet. Check back soon.
Canberra's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (171 Canberra cafes with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Canberra cafes' posts yet, so this is a small sample and a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.

A typical coconut water espresso, drawn from Canberra cafes' menus and reviews, 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 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 Canberra with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
It is on a bigger share of Gold Coast cafes: 1.3% against Canberra's 0%, over the last 90 days.
