The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Sure, there’s plenty of latte art out there, but it’s often just coffee and creme-colored or a little glittery. But, what if latte art was museum-worthy?
Artist, Kangbin Lee, armed with little more than a latte and food coloring, creates works of art that belong in place where people would go to stare at coffee art. We shall call these establishments, Coffeesums. Nobody steal that.
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 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.

By most accounts, avocado prices are skyrocketing. Therefore, we should immediately start hollowing out that annoying fruit part and fill it with a latte.
The Avolatte has been exposed to the world by Truman Cafe in Melbourne, Australia. Although, the Avolatte appears to have been a one-time joke, these will certainly begin popping up in neighborhoods with a large handlebar mustache and fixie bicycle population. Keep an eye out for them, so you can enjoy one before they’re cool.

Just in case you’re sick of unicorn everything, black lattes are here to cast a shadow on that tired food trend. Charcoal lattes, as they’re known, have actually been around for a while and used for detox purposes.
They’ve gained popularity lately — perhaps just in time to help desaturate our Instagram feeds, and rid us of pink and sprinkles on everything.
