What is pandan?

The juice or syrup of the pandan leaf, mixed into lattes, matcha and coconut drinks: grassy and sweet, a little like vanilla, and bright green.

What is in a pandan latte?

A typical pandan latte, drawn from Darwin cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with pandan leaf (a knotted leaf, mostly for the smell), espresso (a double shot poured on last), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and pandan milk (milk with pandan syrup, often with coconut, about 200 ml). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for pandan 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.
