Part of the Matcha trend
Only one cafe has it so far.
Fewer than 5 Darwin cafes have it, or the first review we have is under 120 days old. 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.

Where to get oneWe haven't seen it on a Darwin cafe menu or in a Darwin cafe's own post yet. Check back soon.
It's emerging: early days yet.
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.

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.

Too early to quote: one cafe has had it so far. A quote will appear here once 5 cafes have.
Iced matcha layered with mango, usually over milk. A typical mango matcha, drawn from Darwin cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with wide straw (to stir the layers together), whisked matcha (2 to 4 g whisked with warm water, poured on last so it floats), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured), cold milk (about 180 ml, often oat, poured slowly so it sits on the mango) and mango puree (ripe mango blended or cooked down with a little sugar, 2 to 3 spoonfuls). 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 1 Darwin cafe across 1 suburb, in Google reviews and menus.
The earliest Darwin customer review about mango matcha that The Froth has is from 18 Sep 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 cafe counts for mango matcha 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.
It is on a bigger share of Canberra cafes: 5.3% against Darwin's 0%, over the last 90 days.
