What is in a milk bun brekkie roll?

A typical milk bun brekkie roll, drawn from Brisbane cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with milk bun top (toasted lid of the bun), fried egg (one fried egg with a jammy yolk), cheese (a slice of tasty cheese, melted over the bacon), bacon (two grilled rashers of bacon), tomato relish (a tablespoon of house tomato relish spread on the base) and milk bun base (soft, slightly sweet bun, split and toasted on the cut side). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for milk bun from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or 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 cafe posts or reviews (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Brisbane with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
