Ube in Perth
Rising
Searches in Perth are up 90% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025), though too few of the same cafes have it to read a change (3, against 2 in the 90 days before).
At least 10 cafes had it in the last 90 days, and either the number of the same cafes with it grew by a quarter or more on the 90 days before (counting only cafes we have read through both periods, and at least 10 of them), or it is new among them, or Perth searches rose by a quarter or more while those cafes held steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

What ube is in
Every cafe menu that names ube is sorted into one kind of drink by its words: a burger, a toastie and a wrap are all "burgers, sandwiches & wraps".
Each shop counts once, under the drink we list it for below, so a cafe with ube on several drinks shows under one of them.
The usual price is the middle price of those menus, with a chain's price counted once so one chain can't set it, shown when at least three cafes list a price.

When did ube first show up in Perth cafes?
The earliest Perth customer review about ube that The Froth has is from 22 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.
How does The Froth count this?
A cafe counts for ube 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. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
