Bringing together battle-hungry baristas and coffee lovers, Austin Coffee Collective hosts the Latte Art Throwdown in celebration of Pride and Juneteenth. What could possibly be competitive about latte art? Silly question: Everything is. From the perfect espresso shot to the delicate pour, the powerful combination of caffeine and creativity cannot be understated. With vendors, a DJ, and proceeds to benefit Out Youth and Austin Justice Coalition, the Throwdown is a can’t-miss competition for all who enjoy this sacred art form. – Julianna Plewes
