Night Swim Coffee Latte Art Throwdown

Remember fun? Remember latte art throwdowns? They feel like a vestige of a rowdier, pre-pandemic past, where you’d throw caution to the wind and crowd into a small cafe to pour a few drinks, have a few drinks, and just hang with other members of your local coffee community. Though they have waned in mass popularity, due in part to questions about waste and whether or not alcohol need be involved in all extracurriculars, I can’t help but miss the throwdown.
Luckily, for the good folks in Charlotte, Night Swim Coffee is hosting a good old-fashioned latte art competition. The NSC Latte Art Throwdown is coming this Thursday night, with big prizes to boot, and sign-ups are open now!
