If you want a beautiful beverage during your spring visit to Disney California Adventure, there’s a limited-time drink I really enjoyed: the Ube Latte with Matcha Foam. It’s colorful, a little unexpected, and only around for a short window of time, so it’s worth knowing what you’re getting before you order.

What is the Ube Latte with Matcha Cold Foam?

The Ube Latte with Matcha Foam is a non-alcoholic, iced specialty drink made with sweet ube milk and topped with matcha cold foam.

Ube is a purple yam commonly used in Filipino desserts, such as ube halaya. It has a naturally vibrant purple color and a mild, slightly nutty flavor that’s often compared to vanilla, but it also has a subtle earthy sweetness. In this drink, the ube is blended into a creamy milk base. I can't confirm whether it's natural or merely ube flavoring, but it still provides that memorable purple hue.

On top, you’ll get a layer of matcha cold foam. Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder known for its earthy, slightly bitter flavor. When turned into cold foam, it becomes smooth and lightly creamy, adding contrast to the sweeter ube layer underneath.

There’s no coffee in this drink, so it’s closer to a dessert-style milk beverage than a traditional coffee latte.

Where to Find the Ube Latte at DCA?

You can find the Ube Latte with Matcha Foam at the Cappuccino Cart in San Fransokyo Square inside Disney California Adventure Park.

San Fransokyo Square is the Big Hero 6-themed land in the park, and the Cappuccino Cart is one of the main spots for specialty drinks and seasonal offerings. It often has a line, so you could place a phone order in the Disneyland app if you don't want to wait around.

How Much Does the Ube Latte Cost?

While exact pricing can vary slightly, this drink is $7.75 in 2026.

That’s in line with most specialty beverages at Disney, especially ones with layered ingredients like cold foam.

What It Tastes Like

This drink is smooth, creamy, and slightly sweet, with a balance between dessert-like and earthy flavors.

The ube milk is the dominant flavor. It’s mildly sweet with soft vanilla-like notes and a subtle nuttiness. It doesn’t taste overly artificial or overpowering, which makes it approachable even if you’ve never tried ube before.

The matcha foam adds contrast. It’s lightly bitter and earthy, which helps cut through the sweetness of the ube. When you drink it as-is, you’ll first taste the foam, followed by the ube milk. Once stirred together, the flavors blend into a more balanced, creamy drink.

Overall, it leans more toward a sweet treat than a refreshing or bold tea drink.

Who Will Like the Ube Latte from Cappucino Cart

This drink is a good fit if you:

  • Enjoy sweet, creamy drinks
  • Like ube or want to try it for the first time
  • Are a fan of matcha (even casually)
  • Prefer non-coffee options

It may not be the best choice if you’re looking for something less sweet or expecting a traditional coffee-based latte.
