We haven't seen it on a Darwin cafe menu or in a Darwin cafe's own post yet. Check back soon.
Darwin's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (56 Darwin cafes with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Darwin cafes' posts yet, so this is a small sample and a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.

Croissant dough pressed in a waffle iron until crisp and caramelised, topped sweet or savoury. A typical croffle, drawn from Darwin cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with strawberries (sliced, often with blueberries), ice cream (a scoop of vanilla; some use whipped cream), chocolate sauce (drizzled over; some use caramel) and croffle (croissant dough pressed in a waffle iron, rolled in sugar so it caramelises). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe.
A cafe counts for croffle 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 (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Darwin 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 Gold Coast cafes: 0.9% against Darwin's 0%, over the last 90 days.
