It is early days. The Froth rates coconut cloud as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (0.5% in the last 90 days) and holding steady, though searches in Melbourne are up 37% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025). In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 0.5% of the Melbourne cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 1,204 cafes we have followed through both periods, none of the same cafes had it, against 2 in the 90 days before. Melbourne searches for it were up 37% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.
It is on a bigger share of Canberra cafes: 1.8% against Melbourne's 0.5%, over the last 90 days.
There were 110 searches for coconut cloud in Melbourne in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 20 searches (Dec 2024) to 110 (Jan 2026). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Melbourne.
The earliest Melbourne cafe post or customer review about coconut cloud that The Froth has is from 17 Oct 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 typical coconut cloud coffee, drawn from Melbourne 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 Melbourne with all of a trend's names added up.
