We’re getting a bit of déjà brew with this one. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to score some Insta likes when you’re getting your caffeine fix for the day. Because after all coffee art is just for the Instagram likes, right? That being said, although it might be pretty in pink, we don’t want it to be all froth and no substance. It still needs to hit the spot and fulfil your caffeine fix because we need to get through the working week somehow…
Whether it’s a mouthful of glitter or pink stained teeth you’re after, here’s our guide to the prettiest coffee in London Town…

Adding a little sprinkling of fairy dust to your coffee is Palm Vaults with their glitter covered lattes. If you need to know anything about their coffees, it’s that they’re totally Insta worthy. But then you’d expect nothing else from a café that gives off such #goals vibes with their pinky hues and Pinterest perfect interior. Decked out with hanging plants and floral displays, it’s hardly surprising the coffees are garnished with flower petals and let’s not forget, every pic of the lattes ends up being a total viral hit… So if it’s Insta followers you’re after, hit this place up.
