Boba, originally associated with the Asian American diaspora in California during the 1980s, has emerged as a global phenomenon. A cold tea loaded with popping tapioca, grass jelly, egg pudding, or other add-ins makes for the perfect treat in between a dessert and a sweet coffee. Recently, bubble tea has grown in popularity across various metros. While most bubble tea shops cater to young teenagers and can be excessively sweet, Le Dante is different. 

This family-run artisanal tea shop does a brilliant job of combining high quality teas with a sophisticated palette and just the right amount of sweetness. The cafe is tucked away right next to Davidshall and exudes peaceful zen creativity and sophistication. Walk in and you’ll see quality interior decor, white paper cups embossed with a sophisticated LD monogram elegantly placed on a wooden tray and hear a bustle of languages that characterize Malmo’s diverse international population. 

When you buy your tea at Le Dante, you’re not just paying for Bubble tea but rather, a truly elegant experience. The commitment to sustainability is apparent with the paper cups and straws, and they have regular dairy, lactose-free and oat milk options to accommodate all sorts of customers. 

The tea quality is exceptional, and their Royal Oolong Dream Brulee, with a slightly toasted smoky oolong tea topped with a cream cheese foam and a burnt sugar coating is my absolute favorite. If you’re looking for something lighter, then the Silky Majestic Assam is another must.
