Judges decide who will advance to the next round in Char & Stave’s first-ever “Latte Art Throwdown,” at its Chestnut Hill location on Oct. 26, in which baristas competed for the title of Best Latte Art. Participants also included coffee nerds and caffeine enthusiasts, with a DJ spinning records all night. Onlookers could watch a live feed of the competitors as they tried their best to impress the judges. First place winner, Nicholas Leung, received a $500 cash prize, with second place winner, Ryan Donlin, receiving $250. The $15 registration fee goes to Food4Farmers, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the families of coffee farmers.
