Move over, pumpkin spice. There’s a new drink in town, and it’s cool, creamy, aromatic—and absolutely stealing the spotlight this summer. Meet the tahini-cardamom coffee slushy, a bold, refreshing twist that blends earthy sesame with fragrant cardamom and deep cold brew.

From viral videos to café menus, this exotic fusion is everywhere—and here’s why it’s more than just a fleeting fad.

🚀 The Rise of the Tahini Coffee Trend

The tahini coffee craze exploded thanks to cafés like Maman NYC and Edith’s in Brooklyn, which featured drinks like the Salted Tahini Latte and Frozen Tahini Cold Brew. These rich, visually striking drinks went viral on Instagram and TikTok, with videos racking up millions of views.

🌐 Key Trend Drivers:

• +678% increase in search traffic for “tahini coffee” (source: Yelp, 2025)

• Loved by plant-based and Gen Z audiences for being dairy-free, vegan, and nutrient-rich

• TikTok’s coffee influencers praise the “creamy, nutty, subtly sweet balance”
