Kaohsiung coffee shop goes viral with realistic cockroach latte art
2026-04-27
A coffee shop in Kaohsiung has gone viral for its intricate 3D latte art. Over 14 years, the owner has made anything you could imagine into latte art, from pets to deities and movie characters. Ask, and you shall receive, even if it’s a cockroach. The owner delivered above expectations with a lifelike foam cockroach that jiggles when you move the cup. The equally delightful and disturbing creation has gone viral and received multiple requests, even with a NT$1,500 price tag.
First, create the shape with microfoam. Then, sketch with chocolate syrup. Finish with dustings of coffee powder. All these layers make for a realistic-looking result.
Give this cockroach latte art a tiny shake, and it looks as though it might take flight.

It’s delicious. I’m afraid of cockroaches, but this one isn’t scary. It’s quite adorable.
This 3D cockroach latte art, equally delightful and disturbing, has gone viral on social media. If you want your very own, be prepared to cough up NT$1,500. But the hefty price tag doesn’t deter many more curious customers.

I saw the cockroach latte. How can you not try it out? Cockroach legs have tiny hairs, and she’s made sure to draw the hairs on, truly hair-raising.
This coffee shop has been in business for 14 years now in Kaohsiung, specializing in intricate latte art, as shown in the wall of pictures. Everything goes for the owner, even various iterations of the sea goddess, Mazu.
Chang Kuei-fang
Coffee shop owner
We create at our whim or upon request. We’ll create anything the customer wants. Nothing’s off limits. I’m always up to a challenge. We’ve probably served hundreds of these cockroach lattes already.
Another iconic creation is this: Sadako from the horror series “The Ring” crawling out of the cup. The shop’s creations are truly amazing, but alas, they don’t last. The foam eventually flattens and loses shape, beginning from creation.

Coffee shop owner
It was my daughter’s idea to have Sadako climb out of the coffee mug. I thought it was a great idea.
Pets are also a popular request here. Truly, there’s nothing that can’t be turned into latte art by the owner. It’s also not the first time her astonishing skills have attracted local and foreign press. Perhaps the only downside is that the art doesn’t last.

3D咖啡拉花藝術有口皆碑 客訂做"小強拉花"爆紅
2026-04-27
高雄一間咖啡廳的老闆娘，擅長3D咖啡拉花，從可愛動物、逼真的老虎獅子，卡通到媽祖，都能做成拉花，沒想到有客人拿了小強照片請她揣摩，她成功做出一杯栩栩如生、晃動下彷彿即將起飛的蟑螂拉花，意外在網路爆紅，儘管一杯要價1500元，還是吸引不少民眾前來朝聖。
拉出奶泡形狀，抹上巧克力、灑上咖啡粉，層層堆疊，連觸腳都細細描繪。
特製小強拉花咖啡，抖一抖，彷彿就要起飛。
[[民眾]]
“蠻好喝的，我怕蟑螂，但是它看起來不會很可怕，蠻可愛的”
堪稱藝術作品的3D小強拉花咖啡，在網路上爆紅，儘管因為要花費長時間製作，一杯要價1500元，但仍吸引不少外地民眾前來朝聖。
[[民眾]]
“看到有蟑螂咖啡，這種東西不試試看怎麼可以，蟑螂腳其實有細小的鬚鬚，她剛把它們全部都畫上去了，有點可怕”
位在高雄的這間咖啡廳已經開業14年，店內一整牆的咖啡拉花照片相當吸睛，甚至媽祖神像都能成為杯中物。
[[咖啡店老闆 張桂芳]]
“我們都是現場即時創作，(客人)他給什麼畫什麼，創意無限啦，我就接受他的挑戰，其實這個(蟑螂)咖啡應該好幾百杯了”
香醇咖啡甚至可以模擬貞子"往外爬"的動作，讓這杯咖啡更有動感，不過這魔法很快就會消除，因為奶泡過了一段時間就會消掉，製作拉花同時，還得跟時間賽跑。
[[咖啡店老闆 張桂芳]]
“那是我女兒的發想，可以把貞子，然後從咖啡杯裡面爬出來，我說這個創意很不錯”
就算拿自家寵物照片，也能做成拉花，好手藝紅到連外國媒體都報導過。每一杯咖啡，在老闆娘巧手下，賦予更多生命力，這獨一無二的藝術品，也讓客人捨不得，一口氣喝光。
