We’ve seen the three-dimensional works of latte artist Kazuki Yamamoto before. But now there’s Snoopy.
Everyone’s favorite beagle was adorably re-created in foam, as Yamamoto gets ready for an epic latte art showdown in Tokyo.

If you’re in a rush, but desperately need some latte art, the Yojiya Café vending machine is here to help. Located at the Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan — the machine will not only dispense a hot latte in an instant, but will add a little art on your foam.
Although the machine is certainly no electronic Picasso, an instant artsy latte will run you only ¥200, or approximately $2 USD. What, no 3-D?

When you absolutely positively need some 3D latte art, but possess no artistic ability or you’re just lazy — there’s now pre-made latte marshmallows that are here to help.
