Only 4 cafes have it so far.
Fewer than 5 Perth cafes have it, or the first review we have is under 120 days old. It also covers anything on a small share of cafes that is holding steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

Perth's figures come from Google reviews and cafe menus (632 Perth cafes with a review or menu in the last 90 days). We don't read Perth cafes' posts yet, so a drink shows up here later than it would in posts.

Crisp toast with kaya, a coconut and pandan jam, and thick slices of cold butter, often with soft-boiled eggs. A typical kaya toast, drawn from Perth cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with soft-boiled eggs (two, cracked into a dish, with soy sauce and white pepper), toast, top (the top slice), cold butter (a thick slab, straight from the fridge), kaya (coconut and egg jam with pandan; some use the brown, caramel kind) and toast, bottom (thin white bread toasted crisp, the crusts cut off). 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 4 Perth cafes across 4 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 1 in "Where to get one" are the cafe with it on its current menu or in a cafe or creator post.
1 Perth cafe has posted it, including KOPI-KOPI CAFE in Crawley, though we haven't seen it on a current menu yet. The "Where to get one" list on this page links each post and gives directions. Check with the cafe before you go.
There were 660 searches for kaya toast in Perth in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 290 searches (Dec 2024) to 770 (Aug 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Perth.
It is on a bigger share of Hobart cafes: 0.8% against Perth's 0%, over the last 90 days.
The earliest Perth customer review about kaya toast that The Froth has is from 28 Mar 2023. 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 kaya toast 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.
