  • Origin: English (Australian)
  • Availability: Common

A babyccino is a 3 to 4 oz cup of steamed milk with a foam cap, sometimes dusted with cocoa, served to kids alongside their parents' coffee orders. It originated in Australian café culture in the 2000s and has become standard at most family-frequented Brooklyn neighborhood shops, especially in Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Cobble Hill where the stroller traffic is heaviest.
