What Melange is
Espresso with steamed milk and a milk-foam cap.
Melange is listed as a coffee in the Austria guide, where the index tags it espresso. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.

Melange is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Austria. Order at the counter if there is one; the cheapest and most typical cup is usually drunk standing up.
The Austria guide also covers 4 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.

Melange: common questions
What is Melange?
Espresso with steamed milk and a milk-foam cap. It is listed in the TasteBridge Austria guide as a coffee.
How much does Melange cost in Austria?
Expect the mid-range band: roughly US$8–20. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.
Is Melange vegetarian?
Melange is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.
Where can I try Melange?
Our index lists it across Austria, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
