Sometimes it seems like latte art has gone about as far as it can go. We’ve seen latte-fied recreations of famous paintings, latte animations, and even NSFW latte, uh, body parts. In fact, there’s even a machine that can print any image you want on your latte foam. When so much has been done in two dimensions, what’s an artist to do but turn to sculpture? And the results are just adorable. Just look at these squeezable puppy cheeks!
Tried to recreate @kyoffee's shiba inu but in 3D! (don't worry my hands were clean haha)

One of the best 3-D latte artists around today, 17-year-old Daphne Tan makes some seriously impressive (and seriously cute) foam creations.
Purple Octopus
??? (ps please forgive me for lacklustre cups and infrequent posts, gonna be really busy the next 2 weeks)

She can even make creations that push beyond the rim of the mug, like this adorable octopus hugging his cup.
Raccoon
apparently raccoons eat fruit, represented by the pink blob

In fact, some of her latte sculptures even span multiple cups, like this reclining raccoon.

Taiwan’s In% Hair Café couples great haircuts with great latte art, so you can sip from an adorable bear bathing in your latte while enjoying your new look.

Indonesia’s Saka Bistro & Bar brings us these charming pandas whose milk froth bodies and pitch black spots perfectly match the black and white mugs they’re sitting in.

This delightfully cranky pig comes from Taiwan’s Sense and Sensibility café.

This was *almost* too pretty to drink but then I remembered how much I paid for it. #coffee #3dlatteart

At Japan’s Café ELK, your latte can be topped with two adorable critters in love.
Snorlax

Who better to wake you up than the creature you spend dozens of hours trying to wake you up when you were playing Pokémon Gold and Silver? At SoCal’s Love to Go café, you can get your caffeine fix from a sleepy Snorlax.
Little Green Men
#三眼也有寶貝球?❤️ 這杯我醞釀半小時才狠下心喝?? 可愛成這樣有人卻給我直接用舌頭破壞[email protected]

For maximum latte whimsy, this Toy Story little green man in a little green mug is sure to bring a smile to your face. We’re not totally sure why he has a Pokéball though—maybe he finally found a Pokéflute and is about to go catch a Snorlax. Wait a minute, is this 3-D latte art fan fiction?
