What hot honey goes on
Every cafe menu that names hot honey is sorted into one kind of dish by its words: a burger, a toastie and a wrap are all "burgers, sandwiches & wraps".
Each shop counts once, under the dish we list it for below, so a cafe with hot honey on several dishes 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.

Where in Australia is hot honey biggest?
It is on a bigger share of Gold Coast cafes: 7.7% against Darwin's 7.1%, over the last 90 days.
How does The Froth count this?
A cafe counts for hot honey 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.
