Only one cafe has it so far.
Fewer than 5 Gold Coast cafes have it, or the first cafe post or review we have is under 120 days old, or creators are posting it before any cafe has it. 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.

A coffee or matcha drink finished with a soft coconut cream top. In all our data to 13 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 1 Gold Coast cafe across 1 suburb, in posts, customer reviews and menus. The 2 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu or in a cafe or creator post.
2 Gold Coast cafes have posted it, including Paddock Bakery in Burleigh Heads and Blend Greenness in Miami, though we haven't seen it on a current menu yet. The "Where to get one" list on this page links each post and gives directions. Check with the cafe before you go.
The earliest Gold Coast cafe post or customer review about coconut cloud that The Froth has is from 23 Oct 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.
It is on a bigger share of Canberra cafes: 1.8% against Gold Coast's 0.3%, over the last 90 days.
A typical coconut cloud coffee, drawn from Gold Coast cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with toasted coconut (a pinch of flakes over the cap), coconut cream foam (coconut cream and milk whipped cold, lightly sweet, about 3 cm), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold brew (or espresso and water, about 200 ml over ice). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.
A cafe counts for coconut cloud from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or 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 cafe posts or reviews (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Gold Coast with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
