Honeycomb in Sydney

Crunchy honeycomb toffee crumbled over or stirred into lattes, iced coffees and shakes: sweet, like burnt caramel. In all our data to 13 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 13 Sydney cafes across 14 suburbs, in posts, customer reviews and menus. The 9 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu or in a cafe or creator post.

It is on 4 Sydney cafe menus right now, including Oli's Cafe in Miranda, Bloc145 - Japanese brunch Redfern in Redfern, DEGANI in Narellan and Percy Plunkett in Penrith. 5 more cafes have posted it, though it is not on their current menu. 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.

Sydney cafes also sell honeycomb as "Honeycomb Cold Brew", "Honeycomb Milkshake", "Honeycomb Coffee", "Honeycomb Cold Foam", "Honeycomb Espresso", "Honeycomb Frappe", "Honeycomb Iced Latte" and "Honeycomb Latte", plus 4 other names. The Froth counts every one of these names as the same trend, from cafes' own posts and menus.

It is on a bigger share of Adelaide cafes: 0.8% against Sydney's 0.5%, over the last 90 days.

It is early days. The Froth rates honeycomb as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (0.5% in the last 90 days) and holding steady. In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 0.5% of the Sydney cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 3,091 cafes we have followed through both periods, none of the same cafes had it, against 1 in the 90 days before. Sydney searches for it were down 14% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.

There were 20 searches for honeycomb in Sydney in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 0 searches (Dec 2024) to 30 (Aug 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Sydney.

The earliest Sydney cafe post or customer review about honeycomb that The Froth has is from 27 May 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 typical honeycomb latte, drawn from Sydney cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with honeycomb chunk (one big piece on top), crushed honeycomb (it starts to melt into the foam straight away), cold foam (about 2 cm, to hold the honeycomb up), honey (run around the inside of the cup), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it sits on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 180 ml, sweetened with honeycomb syrup). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

A cafe counts for honeycomb 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 (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Sydney with all of a trend's names added up.
