What is cruffin?

Croissant dough baked in a muffin tin, rolled in sugar and often filled with a cream or curd. A typical cruffin, drawn from Darwin cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with custard (piped in from the top; some use jam or curd), cinnamon sugar (rolled in it while warm) and cruffin (laminated croissant dough, rolled up and baked in a muffin tin). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for cruffin 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 (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Darwin with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
