Supercrown Coffee Roasters is a Bushwick-based cafe owned by Darleen Scherer. Unlike other coffee shops, Scherer's experimental cafe specializes in serving up unusual coffee drinks to adventurous customers. In addition to cortados and [drip coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-over-drip-coffee), Scherer also offers complex drinks made from premium coffee beans. Some of the most noteworthy offerings include a single-origin [coffee milkshake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-milkshake) made from Ample Hills ice cream and a [Scandinavian-style coffee blended with lemonade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-palmer). While these creations may sound unusual, Scherer explains that the ingredients used are meant to bring out the flavor of the beans rather than obscure them. Scherer's custom coffee drinks demonstrate a growing demand for new and unusual beverages that go beyond the mass-market fare found at many mainstream coffee chains. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 89% | 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 Beverages:** Opportunity for coffee shops to create unusual drinks made from premium ingredients to cater to adventurous customers - **Single-origin Coffee:** Opportunity for companies to focus on offering coffee made from premium, single-origin beans - **Flavor-enhancing Ingredients:** Opportunity for businesses to use ingredients that complement and enhance the flavor of coffee beans in new and interesting ways ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Coffee Shops:** Opportunity for coffee shops to differentiate themselves in a crowded market by offering experimental, premium coffee drinks - **Specialty Coffee Roasters:** Opportunity for specialty coffee roasters to supply premium, single-origin beans to coffee shops catering to adventurous customers - **Ice Cream Parlors:** Opportunity for ice cream parlors to collaborate with coffee shops to create unique drinks like single-origin coffee milkshakes ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spirit-Infused Coffee Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialty-coffee-brand.md) - [Canned Nitro-Infused Cold Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitroinfused-cold-coffee.md) - [$1,000 Coffee Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expensive-coffee.md) - [Expressive Organic Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expressive-organic-coffee.md) - [Social Experiment Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-coffee-caf.md) - [Coffee-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-inspired-ice-cream.md) - [Spaciously Modern City Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brandor-coffee.md) - [Specialty Vietnamese Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialty-vietnamese-coffee.md) - [Bespoke QSR Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-drinks-1.md)
