You know what I could use right about now?  A latte.  Not just any old Starbucks variety.  I need a good strong coffee with perfectly foamed whole milk and a pretty design on top.  Years ago, when I graduated into the title of coffee drinker, I only liked overly sweet blends.  You know the kind where the whipped cream on top is the least of your problems!?  Then I had 3 kids.  I’ve given up white mochas and carmel macchiatos but I love the simplicity of a latte made with whole milk.

A few weeks ago when we were visiting Hume Lake Allyson took me to meet Elisa…remember the girl that made my adorable beanie? She is seriously into coffee.

I’ve been to places like Intelligentsia and Blue Bottle, and they don’t have anything on Elisa’s latte.  Except pretentiousness.  🙂

I’ve never watched someone pour latte art.  Or photographed it!  It was so cool to watch all the layers happen.

Gorgeous.  Now go get yourself a latte.  Or knock on Elisa’s door.
