The earliest cafe post or customer review about honeycomb that The Froth has, in any city we read, is from 6 Oct 2024. 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.

What is in a honeycomb latte?

A typical honeycomb latte, drawn from 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.

How does The Froth count this?

Every city is counted on its own, with the same rules: a cafe counts for honeycomb from the first public post or customer review we found about it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. A city's share is of its own cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once), and its change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before. Cities' cafe figures are never added together, because we read some cities' posts and others only from reviews and menus. Searches are monthly search demand across Australia with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
