You know what they say, practice makes perfect. That’s especially true when it comes to the art of making lattes, as any barista worth their salt knows all too well.
So when a master barista in Toronto took to social media to show off their rainbow latte that’s taken over five years to make just exactly right, it shouldn’t be such a surprise that it went totally viral.
A recent video of a rainbow latte being made posted by Bull Dog Coffee to their official Instagram account has gathered 10 million views and nearly 150,000 likes.
The video starts out with what appears to be an average cup of espresso and some steamed milk with a confetti of colourful little dots on top. As the master barista pours the latte, the little cute dots transform into a stream of rainbow colours that creates the most mesmerizing and vibrant pattern on top of the fun latte.
“Taken me 7 years to perfect and worth it,” reads the simple caption to the viral rainbow latte post. “The beautiful RAINBOW LATTE.”

The post has also gotten over 500 excited comments from tons of people on the internet who were absolutely wowed by not only the display of barista artistry and excellence, but also the amazing look of the viral rainbow latte. The best part is, Bull Dog Coffee has been replying.
“Jawbreaker coffee,” one person coined, to which Bull Dog Coffee responded, “New name alert.”
However, even after all those years of practice perfecting the art of making lattes, the barista at Bull Dog Coffee behind the viral rainbow beverage is still humble and willing to take advice from commenters on the internet.
“Put all the color in the back 1/2 of the pitcher so the initial dive is still fresh white foam,” one commenter suggested. Bull Dog Coffee replied, “must try that. Practice! Practice! Practice! Eventually I will get it totally perfect.”
And if you aren’t a barista yourself, Bull Dog is happy to help: “I wish I could do this to my coffee!” one person commented, to which they replied, “I can do it in your coffee for you.”
If you were blown away by the look of the rainbow latte, that’s not all Bull Dog Coffee has up their sleeve. They’re planning on doing a special all-pink latte for Valentine’s Day, so if you’re a colourful viral latte lover, you won’t want to miss that.
