Perth right nowHow these are worked out
Rising fastest: the change in Perth Google searches, Aug to Oct 2026 against the same months of 2025, among trends that are rising or emerging. A change shows only when a trend had 50 or more searches a month both now and then; below that, its searches a month show instead.
Most common: the share of Perth cafes we read that had it in the last 90 days.
Prices: the average on 166 Perth cafe menus that list a flat white with a price, one price per cafe.
Cooling off: trends at the Fading or Peaking stage in Perth that 8 or more cafes have had, the biggest fall in searches first. The fall is the same comparison as the rises, and shows only from the same base of searches.

How does The Froth decide what is trending?
We count how many Perth cafes post about a drink, how often customers review it, how many menus list it and how much Perth searches for it, against the months before. Fixed rules then give each one a stage: emerging, rising, peaking, mainstream or fading.
