What is in a honeycomb latte?

A typical honeycomb latte, drawn from Gold Coast cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with honeycomb chunk (one big piece on top), crushed honeycomb (it starts to melt into the foam straight away), cold foam (about 2 cm, to hold the honeycomb up), honey (run around the inside of the cup), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it sits on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 180 ml, sweetened with honeycomb syrup). 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 honeycomb 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 (14 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.
