Foodie Swellness: My portrait by latte artist Michael Breach

July 19, 2016

Last week, I attended the launch of Natrel Milk Bar by Java U. It’s the first Toronto location of Java U (which I used to go to when I was in university in Montreal) and it’s changed since I used to go  but the coffee and sandwiches are still good. I’ll be posting about it soon on Vitamin Daily so I’ll save the details for that post.

For the launch, they brought in Michael Breach from NYC, who you may know as he’s famous for his latte portraits (he’s on Instagram @baristart and was introduced to us as the Da Vinci of latte art), and I was super excited I was in town for this launch. I get a kick out of the pretty designs on lattes, and to be able to have my portrait done, so fun! (I briefly considered getting one of my cats, but decided nah, I decided it was all about me that day!).

I was told it takes him about 6-7 minutes a portrait, but as per my video, he completed mine just shy of 4 minutes. It’s incredible how accurate it is (well, my one eye got kind of pulled down, not sure if that’s from when I picked up the coffee to go take a photo of it).

More about Natrel Milk Bar by Java U on Vitamin Daily soon, and here’s more about Michael Breach (he’s worked with Amy Schumer!).
