Pistachio in Canberra

Ground pistachio nuts worked into a paste, syrup or cream for lattes, matcha and cold foams: nutty, sweet and pale green. In all our data to 13 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 10 Canberra cafes across 8 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 10 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu.

It is on 10 Canberra cafe menus right now, including Una Bakeria in Macquarie, Sushipresso in Gungahlin, Champi Express Cafe in Phillip and San Churro Canberra City in Canberra. The "Where to get one" list on this page has every one, with the price where the menu gives one, links to the menu or post, and directions. Menus change, so check with the cafe before you go.

The average is $9.24, from 7 Canberra cafe menus as of 14 Nov 2026. Most charge between $6.48 and $11; the lowest we have seen is $6 and the highest $12.50.

It is on a bigger share of Gold Coast cafes: 5.7% against Canberra's 4.2%, over the last 90 days.

Canberra cafes also sell pistachio as "Pistachio Latte", "Pistachio Cloud Iced Latte", "Pistachio Cream Cold Foam", "Pistachio Matcha" and "Pistachio White Choc Latte". The Froth counts every one of these names as the same trend, from cafe menus and Google reviews.

It is early days. The Froth rates pistachio as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (4.2% in the last 90 days) and holding steady. In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 4.2% of the Canberra cafes we see well (a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 315 cafes we have followed through both periods, none of the same cafes had it, against 1 in the 90 days before. Canberra searches for it were level in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.

There were 10 searches for pistachio in Canberra in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 10 searches (Dec 2024) to 110 (May 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Canberra.

The earliest Canberra customer review about pistachio that The Froth has is from 17 Sep 2025. 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 pistachio latte, drawn from Canberra cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with crushed pistachio (a pinch over the top), pistachio cream (cream whipped with pistachio paste, about 2 cm), pistachio sauce (smeared around the inside of the cup before it is filled), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it sits on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 180 ml, stirred with a spoonful of pistachio paste). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

A cafe counts for pistachio 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.
