Black coffee, hot or iced, under a thick layer of cold, lightly sweetened whipped cream that you sip the coffee through. A typical Einspanner, drawn from Melbourne cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with cocoa (a light dusting), whipped cream (lightly sweetened and only half whipped so it pours, about 3 cm) and black coffee (a long black or americano, hot or iced, about 150 ml). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe. In all our data to 13 Nov 2026, The Froth has seen it at 11 Melbourne cafes across 8 suburbs, in posts, customer reviews and menus. The 3 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu or in a cafe or creator post.
It is on 1 Melbourne cafe menu right now, including Butcher Shop Cafe in West Melbourne. 2 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 Einspanner as Emerging as of 13 Nov 2026: it is on a small share of cafes (0.3% in the last 90 days) and holding steady, though searches in Melbourne are up 37% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025). In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 0.3% of the Melbourne cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 1,204 cafes we have followed through both periods, 1 of the same cafes had it, against none in the 90 days before. Melbourne searches for it were up 37% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.
It is on a bigger share of Perth cafes: 1.3% against Melbourne's 0.3%, over the last 90 days.
There were 1,300 searches for Einspanner in Melbourne in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 260 searches (Jun 2025) to 1,600 (Jul 2026). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Melbourne.
The earliest Melbourne cafe post or customer review about Einspanner that The Froth has is from 29 Aug 2024. 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 Einspanner from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or 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 cafe posts or reviews (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Melbourne with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
