Croissant dough baked in a muffin tin, rolled in sugar and often filled with a cream or curd. A typical cruffin, drawn from Perth cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with custard (piped in from the top; some use jam or curd), cinnamon sugar (rolled in it while warm) and cruffin (laminated croissant dough, rolled up and baked in a muffin tin). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe. In all our data to 14 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 12 Perth cafes across 13 suburbs, in Google 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 5 Perth cafe menus right now, including Blue Sky Bread in Roleystone, Embrace Coffee in Wanneroo, Croff Bakehouse (Barrack St) in Perth and Croff Bakehouse (Raine Square) in Perth. 4 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.

It is early days. The Froth rates cruffin as Emerging as of 14 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (0.8% in the last 90 days) and holding steady. In the 90 days to 14 Nov 2026, 0.8% of the Perth cafes we see well (a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 1,049 cafes we have followed through both periods, 3 of the same cafes had it, against none in the 90 days before.
The earliest Perth customer review about cruffin that The Froth has is from 11 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 cafe counts for cruffin from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with 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 new reviews or menus (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Perth with all of a trend's names added up.
