Part of the Matcha trend
Only 2 cafes have it so far.
Fewer than 5 Hobart cafes have it, or the first review we have is under 120 days old. 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.

Where to get one3 Hobart cafes have it on their menus. Prices are from those menus and may have changed.
It's emerging: early days yet.
Hobart's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (88 Hobart cafes with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Hobart cafes' posts yet, so this is a small sample and a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.
2suburbs with cafes that have it
By Nov 2026 (so far)
Each bar is the Hobart cafes with a customer review of it that month; Nov 2026 is not over yet, so its bar is so far.
2 suburbs are known only from a menu, which we can't date, so they count in the last month.
Data updated 13 Nov 2026.
Too early to quote: 2 cafes have had it so far. A quote will appear here once 5 cafes have.
Matcha topped with a thick, airy layer of whipped cream or foam. A typical matcha cloud, drawn from Hobart cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with matcha (a light dusting over the top), matcha cream (cream and milk whipped thick with whisked matcha, piled about 3 cm high), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 200 ml; coconut water and tea are common bases too). 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 2 Hobart cafes across 2 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 3 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu.
It is on 3 Hobart cafe menus right now, including Glass Garden By The Bay in Lindisfarne, Bumi Coffee in Hobart and Bumi Eatery in Hobart. 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.
A cafe counts for matcha cloud 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 (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Hobart with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
It is on a bigger share of Canberra cafes: 4.2% against Hobart's 2.3%, over the last 90 days.
