What mortadella goes on
Every cafe menu that names mortadella 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 mortadella 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.

When did mortadella first show up in Gold Coast cafes?
The earliest Gold Coast cafe post or customer review about mortadella that The Froth has is from 27 Apr 2025. 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.
How does The Froth count this?
A cafe counts for mortadella 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 (15 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Gold Coast 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.
