We visited Alteatude after seeing a bunch of people walking through downtown Estes Park drinking…read moreboba 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.

I didn't take the time to brew coffee this morning in the midst of packing up the car, getting the garbage into the bear proof container -and doing the dishes and starting a load of towels per the instructions for departure at our Airbnb. We pulled up to the drive-in speaker with the menu board. I already knew that I wanted a mocha with a shot of espresso. That is what I ordered. The young lady advised me that the 20 ounce mocha came with three shots of espresso and asked if I wanted a fourth- which I declined. Thank goodness they know what they are doing! We drove up to the window and the employee there was very pleasant. It was a little over six dollars so certainly competitive in the coffee arena here. My mocha was tall and caffeinated!!!! Just what I needed. Great little place-- they definitely had breakfast and snack offerings! Start your morning here!

It was decent, but not great - I felt I could've received similar soft serve from a fast food restaurant. Overall, a confusing visit. Not sure I would visit again, for ice cream anyways.

This place's smoothie's tasted eerily similar; which is an amazing thing. We didn't partake in the food because frankly, I had no idea what it all was as it is Mexican food. But we definitely had a few smoothies over the four days that we were in EP. They were super friendly and really fast when making our smoothies. When we come back to EP, we will definitely be going back. We have been craving a smoothie from this place nearly every day since.

Although when it came my order she ignored me and was what felt discriminating and aggressive against (colored gay person) even though she didn't seem to have an issue with the white man behind me. (which is the reason why she even serviced me to begin with) because the person I introduced the store to was attended by the young man and I was serviced by the girl I am very disappointed as i've been attending to this establishment since it opened!!!! Personally I love this store so much and I like to take people there since the owners are very friendly and welcoming but i never want to experience this again or have anyone else feel uncomfortable!!!!!

Went to the counter to ask for a reimbursement (drank only a few sips). They said no. They were willing to make me another smoothie but here's the thing: the smoothie is majority water/ice. I wouldn't want to pay 11$ for a flavorless slushee (but I already had). I asked if I could have some chips instead, again they said no. Oh, and their POS is set on default 15% tip but there is no FOH service. Tipping is for a job well done, not paid in advance. Did they mess up my smoothie because I didn't tip in advance??.
