# Egg-Infused Cappuccinos Roundk's Signature 'Egg Cappuccino' Pairs Espresso and Egg Yolk By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-05-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-cappuccino References: [latimes](http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-fo-re-newsfeed-coffee-20180515-story.html) & [roundk](https://www.roundk.com/food-and-drink?lightbox=dataItem-j9eafxry) After finding much success in New York City, Roundk recently opened a new coffee shop in Los Angeles that shows off its innovative menu with a signature drink, the Egg Cappuccino. As its name suggests, the Egg Cappuccino puts a twist on the traditional espresso-based coffee drink with the addition of an egg yolk. The unlikely combination of egg and espresso gets whisked together and topped with a fresh scoop of whipped cream to create a unique new drinking experience. Roundk is no stranger to unconventionally infused drinks—some of its other inventions include lattes with wasabi or all-black organic coconut ash. As a whole, Roundk's North American cafes aim to share the experience of a Dah-Bahn, or Korean coffee shop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unconventional Infusions:** Exploring unique combinations in food and beverages, such as adding egg yolk to cappuccinos, presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the culinary industry. - **Novelty Coffee Experiences:** Creating new and unexpected experiences for coffee drinkers, like adding unconventional ingredients or flavors, can disrupt the traditional coffee shop industry. - **Global Fusion Beverages:** Introducing international flavors and inspirations into beverages, such as incorporating Korean coffee shop elements, can offer disruptive innovation opportunities in the beverage industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Culinary:** The culinary industry can explore new flavor combinations and inventive techniques, like adding unique ingredients to traditional dishes, to create disruptive culinary experiences. - **Coffee Shop:** Coffee shops can disrupt the market by offering novelty coffee experiences with unconventional ingredients and unique flavor profiles. - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can embrace global fusion and cultural inspirations to create disruptive, unique beverage offerings that appeal to diverse consumer tastes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Soup-Inspired Cappuccinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-japan-soupuccino.md) - [Comforting Popcorn Cappuccinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinema-cappuccino.md) - [Replenishing Creamy Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-coffee.md) - [Egg Nog-Flavored Cold Foams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-nog-cold-foam.md) - [Mayo-Infused Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayo-infused-coffee.md) - [Aerated Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerocano.md) - [Pop-Up Art Gallery Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saatchi-flowers-signature-cappuccino.md) - [Egg Mousse Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggcado-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Thai-Style Iced Espressos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/es-yen-coffee.md)
