Babycino or Babyccino (baby + cappuccino)

A “babycino” or “babyccino” (baby + cappuccino) was conceived as a drink for a young person while a parent has a drink at a coffeehouse. Despite the “-cino” or -ccino” in the name, the drink has no coffee and usually consists of frothed milk, often sprinkled with chocolate powder.
 
The “babycino” has been popular in Australia since at least 1998 and “babyccino” became popular in Brooklyn in 2012.
 
       
Wikipedia: Babycino         
A steamer (North America), babycino (Commonwealth excl. NZ) or fluffy (New Zealand) is a drink of frothed milk but no coffee (hence no caffeine), which is available in some coffeehouses. In North America it often has flavored syrup added, while in Commonwealth countries it is primarily marketed to children (as a coffee-free cappuccino, as the name indicates), and sometimes topped with marshmallows, a chocolate flake, or sprinkles. In Australia it is commonly served with a marshmallow on the side.
