Five places in Aberdeen serving top latte art coffees to customers Thought to have risen in popularity in the US in the 80s, coffee art had steadily risen in popularity across the pond and now a host of baristas across the country are perfecting their technique to produce some stunning cups of coffee. From the free pour technique which usually results in fern or heart designs, to etching which involves using a tool to create more intricate patterns, there are a number of ways in which coffee fiends can enjoy a beautifully presented latte, cappuccino or, even in advanced cases, espresso art. But whatever way you do it, you have to admit that these five coffeehouses in Aberdeen are pouring out some seriously impressive cups of Joe. Foodstory The recently revamped Thistle Street cafe has only been open for a matter of weeks, but the staff are already gathering a great reputation for their clean and precise latte art. Of course, local food blogger Foodie Quine has also sampled the cafe's coffee art and she agrees that the designs are impressive. Cones & Candy Ok, so we can't promise that this is the type of design that will be served up at Cones & Candy as it's the work of barista trainer Youri from Limini Coffee, who trained the team when the ice cream emporium first opened in August. It may take some time for the team to master Yogi bear, but the Westhill ice cream emporium promises to keep practicing. We like your enthusiasm. Las Iguanas It might not be the most obvious choice for seeking out a beautifully crafted coffee, but the Latin American restaurant's queen of coffee, Iwona, is particularly gifted at pouring out a delicate foam fern. But the restaurant's talents don't end there - manager Pete can also whip up a mean latte, with swans and smiling faces adorning customers' cups of coffee. 99 Bar and Kitchen Dan Price is the man with the milky know-how at 99 Bar and Kitchen, and his delicate designs have proved a hit with patrons. This creation features tiny hearts but take a look at this bolder design that is bringing #cappuccinoart to the fore. Cup It may be known for its wonderful array of teas, but Cup on Little Belmont Street can whip up a mean flat white with a frothy design to match. Simple but effective, this design will have you falling in love with coffee all over again. Where have you spotted the best latte art in Aberdeen?
