Ube Latte: The Purple Drink That Bewitches Paris
The ube latte, with its captivating purple hue and naturally sweet taste, is establishing itself as one of the most Instagrammable and healthy drinks of the moment!
Made with ube, a purple sweet potato native to the Philippines, this latte is more than just an aesthetic phenomenon: it's rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and has a moderate glycemic index, perfect for lovers of healthy sweets.
Paris, always at the forefront of food trends, is now brimming with places to enjoy this exotic drink. Here's a selection of five must-see places to experience the ube latte.
1. 48 Collagen Café – The ube latte glow-up version
This coffee shop, a pioneer in collagen-enriched wellness drinks in Paris, is renowned for its collagen-enriched lattes. The ube latte, in addition to its beautiful lilac color, is blended with ingredients with anti-aging properties, ideal for nourishing the skin from within.

4. 🫖 Café Shin – The Korean twist on ube latte
This Asian cafe-canteen offers a revisited version called “Goguma Latte” (made with Korean sweet potato), very similar to ube. The taste is sweeter and slightly caramelized, perfect for beginners. Pair it with their homemade desserts like dorayaki or mochi.
The best part? We go there as much to eat as to enjoy the cozy Korean culture atmosphere.

The winning combo? Ube latte + mango mochi = guaranteed happiness.
