Today I finally gave in to the hype and tried something that’s been popping up on my feed for months: a matcha latte with Uba milk. From none other than Fat Milk in Chicago. If you’re a fellow latte-lover, health-conscious girlie, or just someone with curiosity and a camera roll full of coffee pics, this one’s for you.

☕ First Impressions: The Vibe at Fat Milk
Fat Milk is one of those places that feels like it knows it’s cool, but still welcomes you in with warmth. Plants, playlists, and that earthy, local-roastery energy. The kind of spot where baristas know their stuff and you leave with a better drink and a better mood.


🍵 Let’s Talk Uba Milk
Uba milk is being marketed as a clean-label, better-for-you alternative to traditional plant-based milks. It’s dairy-free, but doesn’t have the chalky aftertaste that some oat or almond milks tend to leave behind. It’s creamy, full-bodied, and to my surprise, paired beautifully with matcha.
When I took my first sip, I was expecting something… too trendy. But nope. This was legit good. Smooth. Slightly nutty. It made the matcha feel even more indulgent but still light. No weird aftertaste, no separation. Just a beautifully balanced drink.

🌿 Final Thoughts: Is Uba Milk Worth It?
Honestly? Yes.
It gave my matcha that elevated taste without overpowering it, and I didn’t feel heavy or bloated after. If you’re sensitive to dairy or looking for a switch from your usual oat milk routine, Uba milk is worth trying at least once.
Would I order it again? Definitely.
Would I recommend it to the girls who love a soft life in every sip? 100%.

📌 If You’re In Chicago…
Pop into Fat Milk and try their Uba milk latte for yourself. Whether you’re a matcha fan or not, it’s a cozy, curated experience that just feels good.
