One of the best parts of getting a cup of coffee has to be Instagramming your barista's latte art. Here are eight places in Chapel Hill and Carrboro with some of the most impressive (and delicious) lattes:
1. Perennial
Perennial not only makes a mean latte, but with their teal coffee mugs, brick walls and the marble countertop, you'll have the perfect aesthetic for each latte. Perennial has a second floor with mismatched furniture, worn brick walls, and a great view for your next Instagrammed latte.
2. Open Eye Cafe
At Open Eye, you'll not only find the perfect drink, but you'll also find some incredible latte art. I mean, look at that feather! If you're looking for a little extra boost to your latte, go for the chai latte (and keep the two shots of espresso). Not only will it look incredible, but it's a great afternoon pick me up.
3. Joe Van Gogh
With a name like Joe Van Gogh, you can expect art in your latte. Usually, I'm impressed with a leaf or a heart, but scrolling through their Instagram location tags, I found myself continually impressed, especially with latte swans and feathers topped with hearts. Take a peek of their Instagram tags to see some of their impressive art.
4. Gray Squirrel Coffee Co.
If you're in the mood for a little heart in your coffee, Gray Squirrel has you covered. Their drinks are simply elegant and definitely show that they're made with love.
5. Coco Bean Coffee Shop and Cafe
Mixing hearts and feathers together, Coco Bean Coffee Shop's lattes look just like they would match your bullet journal's headers. Bring your bullet journal along with you to get some journaling done (or snap some photos) as you sip your latte.
6. Caffe Driade
Both of these drinks look delicious and I love the swirly hearts! Add in an almond croissant and not only do you have an awesome photo, but a great after class snack.
7. Carolina Coffee Shop
At Carolina Coffee Shop, it feels like I'm drinking my latte from a soup bowl! The massive size of each drink doesn't take away from the artfulness of each drink's foam.
8. Guglhupf
When I first stopped at Guglhupf, I loved seeing the glossy, wooden tables and thought about how it would be the perfect backdrop for a latte photo. Once I got my drink, I saw how the two looked perfect for each other and snapped about 10-15 photos.
There are plenty of coffee shops throughout Chapel Hill and Carrboro, but these eight have incredible latte art. Comment below some of your favorite places to get your ~artsy~ brew!
