Strawberry matcha in Gold Coast

Matcha poured over strawberry milk or strawberry puree and ice, in pink, white and green layers: sweet and fruity against the grassy tea. A typical strawberry matcha, drawn from Gold Coast cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with whisked matcha (poured over the back of a spoon so it floats), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured), cold milk (about 180 ml, poured slowly so it sits on the puree) and strawberry puree (crushed strawberries cooked down with 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 62 Gold Coast cafes across 26 suburbs, in posts, customer reviews and menus. The 58 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu or in a cafe or creator post.

It is on 50 Gold Coast cafe menus right now, including Espresso Lane Cafe in Southport, Chunky Dough Kiosk in Southport, Coffee Major in Southport and Ground Coolangatta in Coolangatta. 8 more cafes have posted it, though it is not on their current menu. 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.

It is early days. The Froth rates strawberry matcha as Emerging as of 14 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (16% in the last 90 days) and holding steady, and searches in Gold Coast are down 64% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025).

Gold Coast searches for it were down 64% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.

The earliest Gold Coast cafe post or customer review about strawberry matcha that The Froth has is from 20 May 2025. 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 strawberry 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 (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Gold Coast with all of a trend's names added up.
