Following the heated global debate about whether cappuccinos feature latte art, I decided to take a practical approach. I embarked on a mini-tour of five local coffee shops, each time ordering a small cappuccino with regular milk, at prices ranging from $4.30 to $5.00.

From August 30 onwards, here’s what I discovered:

Image 1: Bear With Me, South Hobart – Latte art
Image 2: Bumi Coffee, City – Latte art
Image 3: Villino Coffee, City – Latte art
Image 4: Area 2BE, Sandy Bay – Latte art
Image 5: Capulus, North Hobart – Latte art

Based on this small but insightful sample, it appears that in the Hobart specialty coffee scene, cappuccinos are indeed often adorned with latte art, aligning with the market’s accepted definition of a “cappuccino.”
