The World's Most Amazing Latte Art Gallery

No food trend has taken our breath away quite like latte art. The foamy, intricate, and edible designs made by highly skilled barista-slash-artists are one of the best things on Instagram, posted by happy customers in cafes across the world as well as by those who create them. We're captivated by these talented coffee slingers who have crafted cups of coffee into everything from reproductions of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" to lifelike 3D latte bears, cats, and more.

These amazing creations are mostly made with steamed milk passed through espresso in patterns and shapes, but some artists have taken it to the next level, using food coloring and even glitter to make their designs stand out. We combed through photos from cafes, restaurants, Instagram, and even coffee competitions to find what we consider to be the most amazing latte art from all over the world.

What we find most impressive is that you can actually drink these designs when they're done! Although, it might take a little convincing (and a lot of pictures) before your first sip. Once that coffee hits your lips, that design is gone. If you think you're impressed by your local barista who knows how to draw a little latte-foam heart, you'll be totally wowed by the world's most amazing latte art.

Lee told The Daily Meal that his "Cream Art" creations are completely drinkable (they're meant to be drunk cold). He uses a latte art pen, food coloring, and espresso to make each of his commissions, like this one of "Starry Night."

World-renowned coffee artist Michael Breach, who goes by @baristart on Instagram, does some pretty incredible latte art portraits, like this one of Marilyn Monroe.

This one of a pink sprinkle doughnut is almost too lifelike to drink! It totally rivals the best looking doughnut in your state.

New Yorker or not, you can definitely tell that's the Big Apple's skyline.

She totally captured Dobby the House Elf's essence with this latte. We know it would go great with the birthday cake Hagrid gave to Harry Potter.

She does cats, dogs, bunnies, flowers, and even cartoon and movie characters, like this artfully designed storm trooper.

This Donald Duck is so 3D, he belongs in a Disney park.

This fearsome dinosaur was crafted by Cortney Kern, whose Instagram @barista_maniac is full of detailed designs.

Look at all the detail that went in to creating that Star Wars scene! Can you believe this is on a latte and not on TV?

This milky design of a little rabbit next to a cute little carrot is from latte artist and Instagrammer twopercent2.

A barista under the Instagram handle @erfan.barista uses a distinctive style to create flowers made with swirling and curling white foam.

Italian latte artist Giuseppe Fiorini does both classic and modern latte art designs. This one of an angel is dramatically beautiful, and definitely something you wouldn't see at Starbucks in Milan.

This mermaid is playing a harp, in your coffee. That's the coolest thing we've ever seen! Let's see Starbucks try to do that with their Mermaid Frappuccino!
