Searches in Perth are up 63% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025), though too few of the same cafes have it to read a change (6, against 5 in the 90 days before).
At least 10 cafes had it in the last 90 days, and either the number of the same cafes with it grew by a quarter or more on the 90 days before (counting only cafes we have read through both periods, and at least 10 of them), or it is new among them, or Perth searches rose by a quarter or more while those cafes held steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

Yes, it's rising.
Perth's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (535 Perth cafes with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Perth cafes' posts yet, so a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.

Cold brew is on 89 Perth cafe menus and has been seen at cafes in 64 Perth suburbs, while Perth searches for it rose 63% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025).
Coffee steeped in cold water for hours rather than brewed hot, then poured over ice: smoother and less bitter than espresso over ice. A typical cold brew, drawn from Perth cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with straw (paper or reusable), ice (a full cup of it) and cold brew (coffee steeped cold for 12 to 18 hours, about 250 ml, served black). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe. In all our data to 13 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 117 Perth cafes across 64 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 89 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu.
It is on 89 Perth cafe menus right now, including Hush Specialty Coffee in Fremantle, Academy in Claremont, Alleycats Espresso in Hillarys and Aussie Coffee Roasters in Canning Vale. The "Where to get one" list on this page has every one, with the price where the menu gives one, links to the menu or post, and directions. Menus change, so check with the cafe before you go.
The average is $6.69, from 71 Perth cafe menus as of 14 Nov 2026. Most charge between $5.50 and $8; the lowest we have seen is $4.50 and the highest $9.50.
It is on a bigger share of Gold Coast cafes: 25% against Perth's 15%, over the last 90 days.
Yes. The Froth rates cold brew as Rising as of 13 Nov 2026: searches in Perth are up 63% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025), though too few of the same cafes have it to read a change (6, against 5 in the 90 days before). In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 15% of the Perth cafes we see well (a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 1,039 cafes we have followed through both periods, 6 of the same cafes had it, against 5 in the 90 days before. Perth searches for it were up 63% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.
There were 880 searches for cold brew in Perth in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 320 searches (Jun 2025) to 880 (Oct 2026). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Perth.
The earliest Perth customer review about cold brew that The Froth has is from 25 Feb 2020. 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 cafe counts for cold brew 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.
