How a lavender is built

Skip the story

This is lavender

Lavender syrup stirred into lattes, matcha and lemonades: floral and lightly sweet, and often tinted pale purple.

Drawn as a lavender latte, the drink cafes most often put it in.

  1. Lavender syrup about 15 ml, at the bottom of the glass
  2. Espresso and milk one shot with steamed milk
  3. Milk foam about 1 cm
  4. Dried lavender a few buds, for the smell more than the taste
  5. Lavender sprig sometimes laid across the top

Illustrative: a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How many people search for lavender in Australia?

There were 170 searches for lavender across Australia in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the months we have, from Jul 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 110 (Dec 2024) to 320 (Aug 2024). These are monthly estimates of search demand across every state and territory.

When did lavender first show up in Australian cafes?

The earliest cafe post or customer review about lavender that The Froth has, in any city we read, is from 20 Feb 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.

What is in a lavender latte?

A typical lavender latte, drawn from cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with lavender sprig (sometimes laid across the top), dried lavender (a few buds, for the smell more than the taste), milk foam (about 1 cm), espresso and milk (one shot with steamed milk) and lavender syrup (about 15 ml, at the bottom of the glass). 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 lavender 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.
