Specialty roaster Ona Coffee has partnered with Vitasoy to launch a limited edition menu of new coffee drinks curated by Head Barista and 2025 MONIN Coffee Cup Australia champion Vlasto Bartoska.

The menu draws on the diverse cultural stories of the Ona team, with new items inspired by Australia, Hong Kong, Slovakia, and Korea.

The full menu – which includes ‘After Dark’ (Australia), ‘Original Vitasoy’ (Hong Kong), ‘Summer Bloom’ (Slovakia), ‘Umami Berry’ (Korea), and ‘Raspberry Candy Soft Serve’ – will be available at Ona’s Sydney flagship.

After Dark will also be available at Ona’ Melbourne and Canberra locations.

“This menu is really personal,” says Vlasto.

“Every drink comes from a memory, a flavour, or a moment that means something to someone on our team. We wanted to turn those stories into something you can taste in a way that still feels fun and accessible.

“Working with Vitasoy gave us the freedom to experiment – to play with texture, sweet and savoury notes – and push things further than we normally would. It’s creative, it’s a little unexpected, but it still feels like us.”

The full menu and its ingredients are listed below:

  • After Dark – Aspen filter, Oomite, salted caramel, tonka beans topped with Riverina cream & Vitasoy oat.
  • Original Vitasoy – Maple filter, lychee, saline solution & Vitasoy soy milk.
  • Summer Bloom – clarified Gateway espresso with Vitasoy almond milk, fuji apple, cucumber, sous vide parsnip.
  • Umami Berry – raspberry candy espresso, strawberry cheong, kimchi blend clarified with Vitasoy soy milk.
  • Raspberry Candy Soft Serve – Raspberry candy espresso, Vitasoy oat milk created by Tokyo Lamington.
