Halloween is here and the team at Zavida Coffee is getting into the mood with creepy costumes and classic horror films. In the realm of coffee shops and cafes, expert baristas all around the world are expressing their haunting desires and creativity through the practice of latte art.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, latte art refers to the patterns and designs made in the foam topping of an espresso drink – typically accomplished with steamed milk, melted chocolate and/or cocoa powder. Originally practised by master baristas, it has become the norm when ordering espresso.

In the spirit of ghosts, ghouls and jack-o’-lanterns, we’ve curated 6 of our favourite Halloween inspired latte art creations from some of the best coffee artists on the web.

"Luke, where is your skim milk?"

Happy Halloween from everyone at Zavida Coffee Company!
