Alteatude in Estes Park is definitely worth a visit! I popped in one afternoon last week while I was on vacation, and guess what? There was no wait at all! The cafe was spotless and peaceful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Himansu was incredibly patient and friendly, and he even suggested a drink--his favorite from the menu. He was right when he said that the drink got better with each sip! Overall, I had an amazing experience, and will definitely be back if I am ever in town again. read more

friendly service & such a beautiful location! I got a caramel latte here on my birthday and couldn't really taste the caramel, but adding a sugar packet made it a bit more of a treat. Note to self: I'd want to try something other than the coffee next time I return! We also got little shortbread cookies which were amazing! read more

The menu of different drinks from boba to coffee and tea and smoothies, there's something for everyone! We ended up getting the Banana-na smoothie and the dreamscicle smoothie. The banana one was a 2/5 for us, it definitely is on the more fake banana flavor, almost like banana laffy taffy. The dreamscicle though.. this was 10/10 so good! would come back just for this alone! Service was good, everyone was nice and friendly. The inside was clean and well kept and backs to the river. read more

This place was super cute! Overall the vibe and location of this place really sold me on it but the drinks are great too! I got one fruit tea with boba and it was perfect. Not too sweet which I like and you can customize the sweetness on it. The service was also great, super nice and friendly! read more

I don't know normally weight my reviews so heavily on price but man! I feel like this is next level. And how come there's no size options? That would really be nice to say spend $4 on a small one versus $7+ on the size they offer. However, that being said, it was a lovely experience and we LOVED our drinks (let alone they're just beautiful!). I went with their caffeine free option - a strawberry refresher, and it truly tasted fresh even with teeny bits of berry in it. I still can't get over the cost though, especially because its just the fruit syrup and carbonated water....but if you're looking for a refreshing treat in the form of liquid after a day of hiking or sip while you work or study, this is the place. We loved sitting out by the river! read more

Great little coffee shop along the river had a fantastic iced vanilla a lot today which went down really well outside on the patio on the sunny day. They gave us a couple of pup cups for our pups, and the customer service was great. read more

Stopped here after a morning hike. The staff was very nice and gave me some recommendations on what to try since there were so many options. The tea was delicious and refreshing. The location is very close to other stores, so it's a great spot to grab a drink and wander around the town. read more

We visited Alteatude after seeing a bunch of people walking through downtown Estes Park drinking boba from cups emblazoned with the Alteatude logo. Who says advertising doesn't work? This shop isn't like a typical modern boba shop. Instead, the interior is very reminiscent of a classic coffee shop - warm and cozy with plenty of tables and seating. I noticed tins filled with tea leaves above an espresso machine, making me believe that they brew both espresso and tea in the machine. I didn't see them making my drink though! Alteatude, 24oz, 50% Sweet ($8.80) - Starting with the good, the milk tea is pretty decent. It doesn't have the strongest tea flavor but I can tell there's a slight bit of assam fruity undertones. The bobarista told me that they use 30cc of fructose in regular drinks. I don't really know what that correspond to so I went ahead and asked for half sweet which I found to be quite pleasant. They add non dairy creamer to bulk up the drink. It's mixed well and not added in enough quantity to make the drink gritty. Surprisingly the ice level is good at full with only a couple of small chips remaining after completely cooling down. Now onto the bad. This drink comes with one topping which of course we went with the boba. Unfortunately the boba here is terrible. While I appreciate that they marinate the pearls well, making them sweet and giving them a soft sticky coating, most are extremely undercooked with pebble-like and chalky interiors. They are almost raw in the center. The pearls also stick together into larger blocks which isn't great. For some reason, some of the tapioca balls seem to be more cooked than others making me wonder if they mix boba batches together. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 1/5 Over $10 after tax and tip for this quality of boba ehhh. Then again this is the only actual boba shop in Estes Park so there's not exactly any other choice.

This was our first stop before doing some shopping, and it ended up being a great choice! From start to finish, the experience was solid. The staff was kind and patient (shoutout to them for answering all my many questions with grace!), and our drinks came out quickly. The shop itself is cute with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area is definitely a vibe, it's right by the water, so it has that calm, serene energy. Bonus points for the music, they were jamming! I was not expecting to hear some of the oldies they played, but I was in there catching a full vibe. Now, on to what really matters: the drinks. We ordered the: Cheesy Bee and White Peach Oolong Tea with Blueberry Hearts. Both were delicious! I'm a sucker for a creamy soft top, and the one on the Cheesy Bee was perfect--light, fluffy, and just the right contrast to the tea. My only small tweak for next time would be to adjust the sweetness level. I went with the default, but I think 75% would've hit the spot for me personally. The boba itself had a great consistency, chewy, fresh, and no complaints there. As for the peach oolong, we loved it. The blueberry hearts were not only adorable but also really fun to eat. A cute little detail that made the drink feel extra special. They also had a few snack options in the fridge by the register if you're looking to pair your drink with a bite. This seems like a great hangout spot. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

Service was amazing, however, was wanting fresh fruit smoothies and this was more of a fruit syrup base so definitely more sugary than wanted but overall tasted good for what it was! read more

They ran out of boba. Which, I understand happens. But they handed us these drinks with like, no more than 15 bobas total in each, without saying anything to us asking if they could offer us something different. Like we wouldn't notice the 5 drinks prior to ours filled 1/4 of the way. We decided to ask them for more and they said they truly had none left to offer us. At this point they should have let us keep the drinks and offered us a refund seeing as we did not get what we paid for. Instead, they put fruit bobas into my taro milk tea. It was terrible. My mom had ordered mango, she said hers was still good. My primary issue is not getting what I paid for, but having to pay for it anyways. Should have been refunded for their mistake. Unfortunately their solution made my drink undrinkable. read more

Great drinks options, bubble tea was more expensive than I was used to so opted for an iced latte instead. Service was efficient. Indoor and beautiful outdoor view seating options read more

Aside from the boba being a little overpriced, it was a great experience! Honestly one of the best bobas I've ever had! The service was prompt and didn't wait more than 5 minutes for the 3 drinks and a breakfast sandwich. The shop itself is cute and moody and alongside the river. read more

Let's drop the T about this tea! 1. Try a signature drink. Why? Cause they are fun, flirty and flavorfuuuuul. I'd highly rec the Cheesy Bee. It has a base of jasmine green tea, honey and cheese foam. It's a creamy bomb of delight. It was slightly sweeter than I expected so next time I'd just do half sweet. 2. Service was pleasant and friendly. 3. Ambiance is cool! They have indoor seating or riverside seating. We grabbed ours and walked the river walk. (: 4. If tea isn't your thang, they have espresso & coffee drinks too! 5. It's totally worth a visit! read more

Great experience here! Barista was helpful with questions I had. Drinks are quality. The peach oolong tea is delicious and has some sweetness on its on without adding anything. Also good with a little peach syrup (0.5 ounce syrup is what I asked for). The tapioca pearls are not very consistent, some are very hard and chewy and others are soft, so that was a little bit of a bummer. The mango drink advertised with the popping boba is very good. Glad to finally see a quality boba place in Estes! Seats to work on things inside, has a cute vibe. Thanks for the good experience! read more

Cute modern shop with a back door out to the river. Got the kiwi peach twist with lychee popping boba, amazing! Asked the barista about the bites, and they are premade (so no way to leave out ingredients). read more

They have been open only a day and a half but I have high hopes. They have opened a clean and welcoming place. They mostly have Boba Tea but offer other drinks as well. They also offer some pastries. We chatted for a bit. The entire staff was very friendly. I plan to wander by as often as I can. I'll update this in a few months and see what is new. I am glad I checked them out. You should too. read more

Thank you to the employees who acted as concierges, taking time to discern my off-menu request. Instead of shutting me down when asking for "the drink in the ad", the two lovelies - who I had the absolute pleasure of interacting with - took time to interpret and envision my ask. They did not say "we can't actually do that, it's just a staged promo product"; they explained what they COULD do instead. Creative solutioning at its best! A million thank you's! And, the bobo tea you created deserves to be on the menu permanently!!! Estes Park is charming for reasons like this, the people who work at Alteatude. They create unique and magical drinks, yes! But, they also provide a special experience, commensurate with the natural beauty this quaint mountain town offers. I am grateful! PS. How did you magically match my request to my outfit? This drink should be named the Rocky Mountain Unicorn!! I will be back. read more

The pineapple express smoothie tasted like the Dole whip from Disneyland, automatically earning 5 stars for me!

Such a lovely spot in Estes. Extremely friendly staff and great drinks. I had the mango passion fusion, 1/2 sweet, with lychee jellies. Excellent! I would highly recommend this as a stop while you're in town. read more

Inside looks very clean and staff was attentive; however, my drink was not good. I chose the fruit tea and asked for half the sweetness. She told me the drinks are made of syrup and tea and it won't be too sweet. So I left everything as is but it turned out super sweet. I had to ask for a half cup of water to water it down. Also disappointed there is no real fruit in the drink. read more

Very tasty! I got a peach tea of sorts. The bobba was very soft and fresh. Only downside was the price. Our one drink was $9- ouch. But worth a try for sure! read more

I stopped by this cafe for the first time today to try the Golden Oolong Milk Tea and it was absolutely delicious!! The subtle oolong peach flavor is incredibly refreshing and the quality of the boba pearls was outstanding (cooked perfectly and tasted amazing). If you have never tried boba before, the workers will explain the differences between each flavor in detail and even let you know what combos are best! The staff are all super friendly and very engaged in each customer's experience :)! (Not to forget the cute, cozy decorations in the cafe itself) This cafe is a wonderful addition to the Estes's downtown area and I can't wait to come here more read more
