Very elaborate coffees and beverages! Our barista was very kind and the shop is cute and relatively small but there's space outdoors if needed. There is so much to choose from on the menu but we got the crème brhlee one with boba. It was very sweet so we had to ask for ice to dilute it, however overall very delicious and huge quantity!
A cute boba place in estes park if you're visiting the rocky mountains area. This was my first time going to colorado and estes park was such a cute town with a bunch of cute shops like this one. I got the honey bee latte and it was pretty good. A nice sweet drink but not overpoweringly sweet. The girl at the counter recommended it because it was one of their more popular drinks and I get why. Would def come again when I come back!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

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

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

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

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

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 got the iced strawberry matcha and absolutely loved it. This was super refreshing walking around Estes Park, and the woman taking my order was very kind. It is a nice spot to relax in and my drink was wonderful. They also use ceremonial grade matcha which was great to hear. read more
