Melbourne’s coffee scene has moved beyond the usual latte. Think cold foam, dessert-inspired drinks and unexpected flavours, from taro to peanut butter. At Chadstone, we’ve rounded up four spots putting their own spin on specialty coffee. 

Taro-Inspired Float

Known for its specialty coffee and design-led spaces, Industry Beans is giving the iced coffee a colourful twist. Find a rich pour of espresso and sweetened purple taro in this iced float, topped with salted honey cold foam. Prefer something more bittersweet? Try the matcha version.  

Peanut Butter Cold Foam 

At Au79, coffee comes with a playful twist. Try the Peanut Butter Iced Latte for a rich, nutty take on your usual iced coffee, or switch things up with the Coconut Latte. For something a little more indulgent, the classic Mont Blanc is another menu favourite to discover.

A Twist on the Mont Blanc

Axil Coffee Roasters may be known for specialty coffee, but its more playful creations are worth exploring too. The Strawberries and Cream Mont Blanc puts a fruit forward spin on the classic, pairing a robust coffee base with sweet, creamy strawberry notes for an indulgent change from your usual order.

Pistachio Cold Foam

Follow the familiar scent of buttery baked goods at Croissant Bar by Laurent, to find the Mont Blanc layered with a thick, pistachio cold foam, churned until extra creamy.

Whether you’re craving an iced coffee with a twist, creamy cold foam or an unexpected flavour combination, Chadstone has plenty to explore. Discover specialty coffee from Industry Beans, Au79, Axil Coffee Roasters and Croissant Bar by Laurent, with flavours spanning taro, peanut butter, strawberry and pistachio.
