Part of the Matcha trend
The earliest cafe post or review we have is from 19 Aug 2026, less than four months ago.
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.

The flavours on Gold Coast cafe menus that list mango matcha, most cafes first, with the menu line most of them use. A chain counts as one cafe however many shops it has.
It's emerging: early days yet.
This is a small sample: 300 Gold Coast cafes with an Instagram post or a menu in the last 90 days, so a few cafes can move a figure.
11suburbs with cafes posting it
By Nov 2026 (so far)
Each bar is the Gold Coast cafes with a post or customer review of it that month; Nov 2026 is not over yet, so its bar is so far.
9 suburbs are known only from a menu, which we can't date, so they count in the last month.
Data updated 13 Nov 2026.
Mango matcha is on 12 Gold Coast cafe menus and has been posted by cafes in 11 Gold Coast suburbs.
Iced matcha layered with mango, usually over milk. A typical mango matcha, drawn from Gold Coast cafes' own posts, 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 13 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 13 Gold Coast cafes across 11 suburbs, in posts, customer reviews and menus. The 12 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu.
It is on 12 Gold Coast cafe menus right now, including Espresso Lane Cafe in Southport, Coffee Major in Southport, Ground Coolangatta in Coolangatta and Next Door Espresso in Tweed Heads South. 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 $8.95, from 9 Gold Coast cafe menus as of 14 Nov 2026. Most charge between $7.38 and $10.76; the lowest we have seen is $6.90 and the highest $10.99.
It is on a bigger share of Canberra cafes: 4.9% against Gold Coast's 4%, over the last 90 days.
Gold Coast cafes also sell mango matcha as "iced mango matcha" and "mango matcha latte". The Froth counts every one of these names as the same trend, from cafes' own posts and menus.
It is early days. The Froth rates mango matcha as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: the earliest cafe post or review we have is from 19 Aug 2026, less than four months ago. In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 4% of the Gold Coast cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Gold Coast searches for it were down 14% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.
There were 10 searches for mango matcha in Gold Coast in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 10 searches (Jan 2025) to 40 (Nov 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Gold Coast.
The earliest Gold Coast cafe post or customer review about mango matcha that The Froth has is from 19 Aug 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 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.
