    They were simply amazing and I would have a hard time drinking the coffee in order to ruin the art.

    Those are amazing! If I ever get to visit my compassion child in Thailand I will have to ask for coffee just to see the patterns.

    I am impressed! I have worked as a barista but never honed my skills to create what you were served! I enjoyed seeing all these photos but especially the cat 🙂
