Why does a giant cappuccino with cappuccino foam draw crowds?
Bakery Yerevan in Armenia has served a bucket-sized cappuccino next to a croissant larger than a turkey, and the Instagram clips spread fast. The croissant is credited to French chef Philippe Conticini, with versions sold at two London branches for 25 euros each. The Yerevan combo of croissant plus coffee costs $158 and visitors still line up for the photo.
The visual hook is the sheer surface area: milk coffee as wide as a washbasin under a thick layer of cappuccino foam, stirred with a spoon sized for a kitchen. Servers need both hands to carry the cup. The response has been split, with some diners calling the oversized portion wasteful because most customers cannot finish it.
Once just an exaggerated scene in memes, now someone has actually served up a "giant version" breakfast combo in real life. A bakery brunch shop in Armenia called Bakery Yerevan has launched a bucket-sized giant cappuccino and a croissant bigger than a turkey, quickly going viral on Instagram. This XXL croissant is the creation of famous French chef Philippe Conticini, available at two London branches for 25 euros each; while at Bakery Yerevan, the giant combo of croissant plus coffee costs $158, about 1,100 RMB. Although the price is not low, many people still go to check it out. The giant portion delivers maximum visual impact, but it has also sparked discussions among netizens about waste from not being able to finish it.
Remember that meme? Today let's take a look at the "giant version coffee" that has actually appeared in the real world.
In many countries, "croissant with coffee" is regarded as a wonderful brunch combo to start the day. The croissant is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; when you take a big bite, the buttery aroma spreads through the flaky layers, and paired with a cup of rich coffee, it is truly hard to resist.
Recently, a "giant croissant" has gone viral on Instagram, so large it looks like it should be served to the Hulk for breakfast, paired with an equally exaggerated giant cappuccino in a "cup."
The white ceramic coffee cup is as big as a bucket, the surface of the milk coffee is as wide as a washbasin, and the spoon for stirring looks like something used for tossing food in the kitchen. A male server needs both hands to steadily carry it to the table, with a croissant bigger than a turkey placed beside it. When such a combo is brought out, sitting at the table you instantly feel like a hobbit who has stumbled into a giant's kingdom.
Opening IG, you can see diners taking on this combo elegantly stirring the latte in the "pot" (actually not) cup with a big spoon, holding the long bread with both hands and dipping it into the milk foam. If you want to more gracefully lift the coffee cup and take a sip, you would probably need arms as strong as Thor's. Otherwise, you can only do like this gentleman: lift hard~ put down~ lift hard~ put down.

This giant coffee comes from a bakery brunch shop in Armenia called Bakery Yerevan, located on the western Caucasus plain at the border of Europe and Asia. It is a well-known local Western-style restaurant and has been rated by multiple travel websites as a local "best bakery."
The giant croissant is one of the improvisational creations of renowned French chef and pastry master Philippe Conticini, currently sold at two London branches, located in South Kensington and Camden Market. In addition to the giant croissant, the equally popular chocolate laminated pastry roll also has a giant version, with an equally visually striking appearance.
Of course, as the food portion becomes larger, the price also multiplies several times. It is understood that such an XXL croissant sells for 25 euros in the bakery, while at Bakery Yerevan, a giant combo (croissant + coffee) sells for $158, which converts to about 1,100 RMB.
Although the price is steep, quite a few people still go to check it out while the hype lasts.
Look at those "monstrosities" in cups, filling the entire screen; you would have to call the whole extended family just to finish them~ In response, many netizens pointed out that with such a large portion, the visual effect is indeed maxed out, but it is definitely impossible to finish without at least two or three people, and they still hope to reduce this kind of wasteful behavior.
