Part of the Matcha trend
The earliest review we have is from 11 Aug 2026, less than four months ago.
Fewer than 5 Perth cafes have it, or the first review we have is under 120 days old. It also covers anything on a small share of cafes that is holding steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

The flavours on Perth cafe menus that list matcha cloud, most cafes first, with the menu line most of them use. A chain counts as one cafe however many shops it has.
It's emerging: early days yet.
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.

By Nov 2026 (so far)
Each bar is the Perth cafes with a customer review of it that month; Nov 2026 is not over yet, so its bar is so far.
10 suburbs are known only from a menu, which we can't date, so they count in the last month.
Data updated 13 Nov 2026.
Matcha cloud is on 12 Perth cafe menus and has been seen at cafes in 15 Perth suburbs, while Perth searches for it rose 92% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025).
Matcha topped with a thick, airy layer of whipped cream or foam. A typical matcha cloud, drawn from Perth cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with matcha (a light dusting over the top), matcha cream (cream and milk whipped thick with whisked matcha, piled about 3 cm high), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 200 ml; coconut water and tea are common bases too). 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 17 Perth cafes across 15 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 12 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu.
It is on 12 Perth cafe menus right now, including MaZa's Cafe in Mount Lawley, Rise & Grind Espresso Bar in Doubleview, At Shenton in Shenton Park and Holly Rayes in Bassendean. 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 $9.49, from 10 Perth cafe menus as of 14 Nov 2026. Most charge between $8.50 and $10.60; the lowest we have seen is $8.50 and the highest $10.60.
It is on a bigger share of Canberra cafes: 4.2% against Perth's 2.4%, over the last 90 days.
It is early days. The Froth rates matcha cloud as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: the earliest review we have is from 11 Aug 2026, less than four months ago. In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 2.4% 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, none of the same cafes had it, against 1 in the 90 days before. Perth searches for it were up 92% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.
There were 100 searches for matcha cloud 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 20 searches (Dec 2024) to 100 (Oct 2026). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Perth.
The earliest Perth customer review about matcha cloud that The Froth has is from 11 Aug 2026. 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 matcha cloud 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.
