What is brown butter?

Butter cooked until it browns and smells nutty, used in drinks as a syrup in a latte or whipped into a cold foam: toasty, like caramel and hazelnut.

What is in a brown butter latte?

A typical brown butter latte, drawn from Perth cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with brown sugar (a pinch, sometimes with sea salt), brown butter foam (cold foam with a little of the syrup, about 2 cm), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it sits on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured), cold milk (about 180 ml) and brown butter syrup (butter cooked until nutty, then made into a syrup, about 20 ml). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for brown butter 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 Perth with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
