When a dose of boring beige caffeine just won’t do… Diamond Cappuccinos are here to help.
Brought to us by Coffee By Di Bella, the cappuccinos are made just like the standard latte, only edible glitter is added. The cappuccinos are available in “Diamond” and “Gold,” either of which will have you feeling lavish while getting your caffeine injection.
The flavor combo that nobody asked for is finally here. Tim Hortons has created the Buffalo Latte, so caffeine and spicy chicken wings can now be enjoyed in a single serving.
The beverage, which has been released in a few stores in Buffalo, NY — consists of espresso, mocha, and Buffalo sauce flavor, topped with steamed milk and zesty Buffalo seasoning. Too bad the steamed milk contains no bleu cheese.
Now, whether Tim Hortons thought this beverage would be a tribute to the Buffalo area, or they’re looking to openly mock our current Pumpkin Spice Latte obsession — all remains to be seen. If anyone does get their hands on one, let us know by describing, in detail, its open assault on your palate.
What is it about the Starbucks coffee cup that inspires art? Is it the minimalist design? The unmistakable and perfectly-executed mermaid logo? Or, is it just the caffeine contained within that gets the creative juices flowing?
Either way, the cups have provided some of the best food art we’ve seen here. And, the work of South Korean artist, Soo Min Kim, is no exception. Using the Starbucks cup as canvas, Kim uses the mermaid as a starting point and rethinks the cup’s environment around her face.
The coffee mascot, by the hand of Kim, then becomes The Beatles, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man — or made to look as though she’s simply living amongst us humans. See more below and over at Instagram.

When you’re needing a Coke, and the caffeine content isn’t enough to get your heart going, Coca-Cola Coffee Plus is here. The ‘Plus’ refers to the fifty-percent more caffeine available via coffee.
The U.S. was once offered a Coke-coffee hybrid with Coca-Cola BlāK, which was a bust. Probably due to its obscure branding and flavor notes of burnt cigarettes and dirty socks.

The trend of latte in places that it doesn’t belong, appears to have reached peak-ridiculousness. Aussie restaurant/cafe, Locals Corner, recently created the Carrot Latte.
And, if this all seems like a colossal waste of time and vegetables, remember… carrots are good for your eyesight, and caffeine makes you feel less stabby. It’s a win-win.
