2nd CHOC-O-LATTE
Choc-O-Latte, Sutter Creek
Not too sweet and just the right amount of chocolate. Totally beautiful and handcrafted. I almost didn't want to drink and ruin it's beauty.
3rd ICED CHERRY CHAI LATTE
Starbucks, Albany
This was surprisingly delicious and not overly sweet. The extra cherry cold foam (no extra charge) added was perfect for this drink. It's a new seasonal drink, but I hope they keep it through the summer.
4th UBE LATTE
Firebrand Bread, Alameda
I've decided that the Firebrand Ube Latte is the best in the Bay Area. I've been craving it ever since their Oakland location abruptly closed. Today I made a special trip to their Alameda homebase, just for this drink. Perfectly light and full of ube flavor without being overly sweet or tasting artificial. My favorite!
REALLY GOOD
5th UBE LATTE
Firebrand Artisan Breads, Oakland

8th LAVENDER LATTE
Farley's Cafe, Oakland
A nice drink before taking off on a 5-hour flight.
PRETTY GOOD
10th UBE LATTE
Tous Les Jours Pleasant Hill, Pleasant Hill
I realize that I can be very picky of how I prefer my ube latte. Too sweet? The frothe was lovely, but the overall profile wasn't anything as great as other places where I go for my usual ube latte.
JUST OK
11th UBE LATTE
Cafe 86 - Union City, Union City
I wasn't expecting this to be syrup-based, but that's how it tastes to me.
NOT FOR ME
12th BLACK SESAME LATTE
SIGNAL Coffee Roasters, Berkeley
uh yeah, no! did not taste anything like black sesame. I felt like asking for my money back, but I wanted something warm and it was drinkable.
13th UBE LATTE
SIGNAL Coffee Roasters, Berkeley
not sure what flavor this was, but it definitely was NOT ube. basically it was a sweet, syrupy latte.
