The star ingredient

What exactly is an ube drink?

Ube (pronounced “oo-bay”) is a purple yam native to the Philippines, known for its vibrant natural color and its sweet, vanilla-like flavor with subtle nutty undertones.

At Columbus Café, we’ve elevated this exceptional ingredient to create a warm, creamy ube drink: the White Chocolate Ube Latte, the perfect blend of Asian tradition and French indulgence.

With its deep purple hue, comforting flavors, and unforgettable appearance—the ube drink is the trend of spring 2026..

About

The ube drink at Columbus Café

The ube drink is establishing itself as the drink trend of spring 2026. Native to the Philippines, the purple root vegetable — ube — stands out for its naturally intense hue and its delicate flavour, somewhere between vanilla and nuts. At Columbus Café, we are proud to offer a warm ube drink in a café setting, accessible to everyone.

Why is the ube drink so popular?

Beyond its spectacular colour that’s taking social media by storm, the ube drink offers a unique taste experience: sweet, gently sugary, with no harshness. Combined with white chocolate and velvety milk in our signature recipe, it becomes the ultimate comforting drink for a break with friends or a personal moment of indulgence.
