The month in progress shows here once it is complete, so a part month never reads as a drop. A month with too few cafes posting is left out.

What pandan is in
Every cafe menu that names pandan is sorted into one kind of drink by its words: a burger, a toastie and a wrap are all "burgers, sandwiches & wraps".
Each shop counts once, under the drink we list it for below, so a cafe with pandan on several drinks shows under one of them.
The usual price is the middle price of those menus, with a chain's price counted once so one chain can't set it, shown when at least three cafes list a price.

In the 90 days to 14 Nov 2026, 0.5% of the Sydney cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 3,110 cafes we have followed through both periods, 3 of the same cafes had it, against 1 in the 90 days before.

How many people search for pandan in Sydney?
There were 40 searches for pandan in Sydney 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 (Apr 2025) to 40 (Jan 2026). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Sydney.
When did pandan first show up in Sydney cafes?
The earliest Sydney cafe post or customer review about pandan that The Froth has is from 15 Feb 2022. 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.
How does The Froth count this?
A cafe counts for pandan 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 Sydney 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.
