Darwin cafes with Iced latte on their menus or in their posts.
The flavours on Darwin cafe menus that list iced latte, most cafes first, with the menu line most of them use. A chain counts as one cafe however many shops it has.
It's mainstream now: well established.
Darwin's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (42 Darwin cafes with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Darwin cafes' posts yet, so this is a small sample and a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.
22suburbs with cafes that have it
By Nov 2026 (so far)
Each bar is the Darwin cafes with a customer review of it that month; Nov 2026 is not over yet, so its bar is so far.
12 suburbs are known only from a menu, which we can't date, so they count in the last month.
Data updated 14 Nov 2026.
Iced latte is on 24 Darwin cafe menus and has been seen at cafes in 22 Darwin suburbs.
Espresso poured over cold milk and ice, often with a flavoured syrup or a cold foam on top: milky, mild and served in a clear cup. A typical iced latte, drawn from Darwin cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with straw (stir before you drink), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it swirls down through the milk), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 200 ml, poured over the ice first). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe. In all our data to 14 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 29 Darwin cafes across 22 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 24 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu.
It is on 24 Darwin cafe menus right now, including The Cafe at Harry's Place in Tiwi, Cafe Central Darwin in Rapid Creek, The PlayShack Indoor Play Centre & Cafe in Palmerston City and De La Plage in Brinkin. 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 $6.99, from 13 Darwin cafe menus as of 14 Nov 2026. Most charge between $5.50 and $8.40; the lowest we have seen is $5 and the highest $8.50.
Of the cities The Froth reads, Darwin has it at the biggest share of cafes: 50% of Darwin cafes in the last 90 days, against 41% in Gold Coast and 40% in Hobart.
It is well established rather than growing fast. The Froth rates iced latte as Mainstream as of 14 Nov 2026: it is on 50% of cafes in the last 90 days and holding steady. In the 90 days to 14 Nov 2026, 50% of the Darwin cafes we see well (a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 82 cafes we have followed through both periods, 1 of the same cafes had it, against 1 in the 90 days before.
The earliest Darwin customer review about iced latte that The Froth has is from 16 Sep 2024. 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 cafe counts for iced latte 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.
