Burnt Basque cheesecake. A typical basque cheesecake, drawn from Adelaide cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with berries (sometimes, on the side), cream (a spoonful of whipped cream or crème fraîche) and burnt cheesecake (baked very hot until the top burns; no base, soft in the middle). 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 21 Adelaide cafes across 18 suburbs, in Google reviews and menus. The 19 in "Where to get one" are the cafes with it on their current menu or in a cafe or creator post.
It is on 12 Adelaide cafe menus right now, including Banana Boogie Bakery in Belair, Banana Boogie Bakery Express in North Plympton, Lunar Landing in Brompton and Moshi Mochi in Erindale. 7 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.

A cafe counts for basque cheesecake 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 Adelaide with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
