The Best Soft Serve In Seattle, Ranked - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Enjoying a huge cup of Atulea's soft serve is like eating a frozen cloud—it's the lightest and fluffiest of any of the options on this guide. And while the flavors rotate at this Capitol Hill tea cafe, the typical matcha and blue butterfly pea-stained mint is a fantastic combination. A swirl of them both is equal parts creamy and refreshing, complete with grassy matcha balanced by a subtle minty zing." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"I visit this relative newcomer to the Hill for its specialty matcha and cheese teas — Atulea offers varieties like peach jasmine, chamomile citrus, and tie-guan-yin, each topped with a layer of milk, cream cheese, whipped cream, sugar, and salt. Its minimalist aesthetic and ample greenery provide a calm respite in the busy Pike/Pine Corridor." - Kelly Knickerbocker

One of my favorite boba places in Seattle.

If I were EPIK HIGH, I would eat here.

such a cute cafe. i’ve only tried the matcha, but it’s ALWAYS great. I didn’t like the black sesame bc i thought that it was too grainy and bitter (would’ve liked it better with a little less in the latte) but my favorite is the summer time pineapple matcha. I love to get the earl grey/london fog matcha latte as well. as far as food, they usually have a few baked goods/snacks. i’ve only tried the ube brownie which was soooo good and fudgy. i wish this place was more affordable because to get a matcha latte with any flavor (let alone plant milk) is like $9 before tip (after tax) otherwise i’d be here everyday.

Very cute little shop. I had the pumpkin bread which was very good, I appreciate that it has chocolate in it. I had the rose lychee milk tea. The pearls had good texture but not the most flavorful. I generally get less sugar because of how sweet the toppings are, this is not a place to do that.

The special “coconut sticky rice” is realllllly good. You can really taste the oolong tea and the coconut sticky rice. Didn’t like the Matcha with black sesame last time since the matcha flavor is weak to me so I ordered the decaf black sesame. You can taste the black sesame more and love the combination of both. Not much seating (4 small round tables) but more seating than the phinney ridge location. They have a stamp card here! buy 9 get 1 free!

I really, really enjoy coming to this cafe. It has a lot of personality and variety. It is also super cute and welcoming. The drinks do cost a pretty penny, but they are high-quality and delicious. My favorite is the churro latte. Consider me a regular! * I will say, the acoustics within this cafe cause sounds to reverberate throughout really loudly. I would highly recommend bringing headphones if you are planning to study.

Looking for good matcha? Go here! This space is so so cute! The decor is welcoming, the staff is friendly and effective and the matcha is delicious. Already have been back twice in four days. I also bought their matcha and matcha whisk to start making it at home.

Ube matcha matte: surprisingly the flavors balance well together, nothing over powers. Also not sweet at all I love that. The store was pretty slow when I went on a Saturday morning. Might be a good spot to hang or study

The drinks are pretty good! It’s hard to find a boba place in Seattle compared to other cities. My main complaint is the paper straws. They break suuuuper easily and then it becomes impossible to drink with them. If there’s a different brand (doesn’t need to be plastic), then I’d recommend switching to that. Also, I wouldn’t charge extra for the alternative milks. One drink came out to $9.50.

They have the best cheese foam. I am addicted to the sobacha with cheese foam topping.

Ummmm I don't think I realized how bad the matcha I was drinking was before coming here! My friend got the Banana latte w/ Matcha and I got the Strawberry Latte w/ Matcha. It was the perfect balance of sweetness but still keep the natural flavor of both strawberry and matcha. The place is a cute little cafe, very vibrant. The girls working were super fast and had good energy.

Atulea has amazing boba, but the portions are a bit small for the price. The drinks themselves are delicious and well-crafted, with high-quality tea. Nice spot near Cal Anderson too! While I wish the cups were a bit bigger, the punch card system is a nice bonus! you get a free drink for every 10 purchases, which helps make up for the smaller size. The shop has a cute and cozy vibe, and the service is always friendly. Overall, a great spot for boba lovers, just wish the drinks were a little bigger

Yelp

Delicious drinks and cute and chill place to hang out. Service is fast so if you are looking for grab and go, Atulea is the shop for you. They have plenty of hot and cold drinks to choose from. My fave was the matcha ube drink, it was one of the best matcha drink i've had. They have few pastries and cookies, but didn't have a lot of options. There is no designated parking spot for the shop but there's plenty of paid street parking.

I've been here a couple of times. The staff has always been friendly and served our drinks efficiently. Although the facility is a bit small, it's clean and well-kept. This time, we ordered cheese teas since they have lower caffeine. I found the hot cheese tea pleasantly warming. However, my friends didn't enjoy it as much--they felt the cheese could have been stirred in rather than sitting on top, to balance the flavor and avoid an overwhelming cheese taste.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while!!!! cute little shop with very limited seating but it adds to its cuteness. perfect for matcha date! The people there were nice. I tried the strawberry matcha latte and it was pretty ok. I had really high expectations bc of it being a more matcha place so I was expecting to love it - but as we know I love a sweetened drink and this just wasn't that. I probably should have asked for more sweetener. The strawberry purée in the drink is amazing tho and is def a must try.

Nora J.

Yelp

Cute matcha and coffee shop in CapHill. The space is welcoming with the pink and botany vibe they have going on. I got the ube matcha latte but it unfortunately tasted more like ube than matcha. It has limited seating (can maybe sit around 8-10 people) but thankfully both times I came, I didn't have an issue. Not sure if I'd come back since the matcha flavor isn't as strong as I hoped for and my drink was almost $9 since I got oat milk.

Ruby C.

Yelp

Atulea is the most creative matcha teahouse/cafe I've ever been. You can basically customize anything on their menu into a matcha drink. I struggled between pineapple matcha, black sesame matcha and ube matcha. A paradise for matcha lovers. I've nearly filled up my stamp card in my first visit, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more interesting matcha lattes and matcha soft serve. ＊Ube Matcha** The ube flavor really stood out especially in my first few sips, while not overpowering the matcha. It had pretty layers of green and purple. The drink got diluted once the ice melted, so I'd suggest consuming it quickly or getting a hot ube matcha instead. ＊White Mocha Matcha Their white mocha matcha was also life-changing. I am not a fan of hot chocolate, but this one has the perfect sweetness level. Highly recommend getting a hot one -- it had mini marshmallow on top. It tasted festive like a warm hug in winter.

Came here on a Monday afternoon because I was craving a matcha latte. The ambiance is lovely but there's limited seating with only four tables. But if you manage to get a spot, it's the perfect place to catch up with a friend or do some work. I ordered a dirty matcha latte with almond milk and 50% sweetness. I love how customizable the drinks are but my latte was still a bit on the sweet side. Would love to try their more unique drinks next time!

Melanie G.

Yelp

Kind staff and great matcha drinks in a cute space! I got a pineapple matcha latte, which I haven't seen in any other tea shops! The matcha itself was super good--perfect balance of sweet and bitter. The pineapple puree was a little too sweet. But the pineapple and matcha together made a really good combination. Drink was around $8 which is on the pricier side but it is a 16 oz.

Joan L.

Yelp

Not good. Not sure how this place has so many positive reviews. Found this shop through a quick yelp search as we were visiting the area and were really disappointed, especially since the photos looked quite promising. What we ordered: -Ube Matcha Latte: Grainy. Very light matcha notes, like it was diluted. Just tasted like coconut milk/cream after it was fully mixed. I reluctantly finished about 1/3 of the drink before tossing it. -Banana Milk Matcha Latte: Severely watered down. I thought the ube matcha was bad but this was worse. My boyfriend took a few sips of it an tossed the entire drink. The banana notes were very syrupy/chemical-tasting as well. The shop and parking: The shop is medium sized and has cute decor. Pastries are offered in their glass case. Staff were nice and the reason why I gave an extra star. Paid parking is available on the street, but we walked as the area is difficult to find a spot. Overall: Spent nearly $15 for drinks that were VERY watered down. Not at all what we were expecting. Would not pay another visit.

Atulea was conveniently right next to where I was staying and it had a cute interior, so I stopped by when I had some time to kill a couple Sunday afternoons ago. The interior is super cute and there are a few tables to sit at. The service was fast and I got my drink pretty quickly. CHAGA MUSHROOM LATTE - 6.75 You can choose between coffee or matcha, and of course I chose the coffee option. This was quite good as an iced latte and it wasn't too sweet. The mushroom flavor was earthy. I don't drink a lot of mushroom lattes, but I enjoyed this one a lot. It was balanced by the other spices present in the drink. I give this a 4/5 and not a 5/5 because the pricing here is $$$. After tax, my drink was closer to 8.00, rip.

Belldandy O.

Cute little cafe located a little bit away from the busy portions of Capitol Hil. I ordered the Iced Ube Matcha Latte with oat milk and my boyfriend ordered the Iced White Matcha Mocha. I love matcha, but my boyfriend doesn't really care too much for it, however we REALLY needed a caffeine fix. The matcha in our drinks were subpar in comparison to other places we have tried. Even though the drinks could have been better, the customer service still made it a good experience. We asked for recommendations on the drinks and went with what they suggested to us. Probably need to come back to try their coffee rather than matcha drinks. Atuela even offers their customers punch cards! So, every drink you order, you get a punch in your card. Then, when you get 10 punches, you get a free drink.

This is a small place with only a few tables. The decor is nice, drinks are good and very different than typical bubble tea place. The only cons is as someone that is lactose intolerant, and love pearls, after adding milk sub. and pearl and the drinks became quite pricy. But the drinks do taste good.

Jennifer K.

Yelp

Came in to the usual, beautifully decorated and tidy space at Atulea to order some drinks! The staff was really helpful in recommending which tea is a better option between matcha and hojicha based on the caffeine strength and flavor, so my partner and i ordered the Ube matcha latte and Matcha Banana Milk latte. Between the two, i liked my partner's ube latte far more because the taste just blended really well together. Their drinks lean heavier on the matcha flavor side so if you don't like strong matcha flavor, id recommend asking for adjustment or order something else. I did have to tick off one star unfortunately because they don't sift or strain their matcha despite they make it from scratch on the spot, therefore you can taste the clumps of matcha in your drinks. I personally am not a fan of this texture and most matcha spots i go to always sift the powder. If they improved on this i would easily bump to 4 stars.

Yelp

Very cute little drink spot in Capitol Hill! Not really in a busy area but not too far from Cal Andersen Park. My husband and I came here post lunch around 1pm and it was pretty packed. They have like 3 or 4 tables where you can sit and enjoy your drink. I thought it was pretty cool that they occasionally have pop-ups of other vendors come in! When we were there, Nata Seattle who makes egg tarts was there selling some items and it was delicious! For the drinks, I ordered the cheese gyokuro tea and my husband got the black sugar hojicha oat latte special. I personally liked his a lot more. The cheese gyokuro tea was good but the coldness from the added cheese foam made my drink less hot so it was more of a tepid warm drink. Overall, would love to come back on a warmer day to try their boba and cold drinks.

Grace N.

Yelp

the most instagram cafe ever LOL it's super cute honestly, all pastel decor. Our drinks came out timely af and my matcha was quite good. Wish there was a more tart pineapple flavor but even without it it's a pretty solid drink. The ube matcha looks like the most controversial drink here from the reviews so I'm very tempted to order it next

Jasmine N.

Yelp

Small place on 12th that offers a matcha and coffee menu. I had to try their matcha so I ordered an iced ube matcha. The ube jam enriches the matcha drink with its thicker texture and ube flavor. The drink is a bit grainy, as would a black sesame coffee if you know what I mean, and when you mix the matcha layer with the ube jam, it creates an unpleasant color lol. I would probably try the hot version instead next time or something else off the menu.

Millie C.

Yelp

Atulea was so cute! The space and decorations was amazing! I got the hojicha latte and I really enjoyed it! The flavorful was nutty, sweet and delicious! I finished the drink so fast and wanted to get a second one. Highly recommend trying the hojicha here!!

Shelby C.

Yelp

I love this place for a good matcha drink! The matcha flavor is strong and they grind it in front of you. Love all the different flavors. Decided to try the chaga matcha (mushroom) this time and loved the flavor. There was a lot of granules at the bottom, but I personally liked that. Drinks come out quickly and they have cute decor inside. Will definitely be coming again

Delicious matcha! The cafe is so cute and bright. I love the color scheme. The service is always kind and quick!

Louise F.

Yelp

I know they're known for their matcha but I really wanted to try their brown rice drink. I also got it (0% sweet and was very pleased to find that it was the perfect balance for me. Very mild, but the rice flavor definitely came through in a subtle but distinct way...until you mix in the cheese foam that it's in. Don't get me wrong I thought the foam was delicious but it absolutely overpowered all flavors of the drink under it once mixed. I probably should've tried to keep it separate so that I could actually enjoy the brown rice flavor.

Fumie W.

Yelp

i tried the matcha white mocha with boba and my friend tried the ube matcha. i really liked the matcha white mocha with boba and would def recommend it with or without boba! the drink kept me caffeinated the remainder of the day. the ube matcha was not my favorite and like the mix reviews on yelp i would not recommend. however the interior is so cute with pink and green colors. one down side about the space, it is small with 4-5 small tables with 2 chairs each. more of a grab and go spot for matcha

Semra Q.

Yelp

Such a cute little place in the cap hill area! Decided to check it out and finish up some work before heading home for the day and it was definitely worth the stop. Their iced black sugar latte is more the on the sweeter side, would recommend asking for less sweet when ordering but overall very tasty and not too strong of a coffee flavor (if getting with coffee). Seating is limited but I noticed most people just grab and go. Service was also very friendly, I appreciated the staff asking about the milk choice as they took my order. Before heading out I decide to get the iced pineapple latte with matcha and it was definitely my fav out of the two drinks - the pineapple puree was delicious though the matcha was on the grainy side but nothing too horrible. Parking is a bit of a struggle since it's all street parking in a neighborhood but would love to come back and try their boba drinks next time!

Kamm K.

Love coming to Atulea! I've already filled up my stamp card and got my soft serve with boba as my reward. It's a really cute, instagramable cafe. They have small tables for you to enjoy your food or study while enjoying your drink. The matcha is of high quality, even in the soft serve. I love their pineapple matcha latte because you can taste the pineapple and it adds a fruitful flavor to it. I've studied their multiple times and see a lot of people come in and out so it's definitely busy and worth the price. Drinks: super good! I've gotten the pineapple matcha latte Atleast ten times. The ice cream melted fast but they were super nice and said don't worry about the mess. It was also true to the matcha flavor and I love the boba that you can add on. Ambiance: I love studying there and can get a lot done. Bonus, they have a clean bathroom! Service: Everyone there is really nice and always asks if you want an alternative milk or are okay with regular milk.

Anna C.

Yelp

Ordered the Ube Matcha and it was not my favorite. The service was super friendly and I even got a punch card, but the drink itself was not very yummy. It wasn't smooth and was grainy, and the matcha flavor wasn't very strong. The store had a super cute vibe but the drink I got sadly was a miss.

Sierra W.

Yelp

Small interior with limited seating which I don't mind as I took my drink and walked at the nearby Cal Anderson park! Cute, earthy decor and helpful pics of drinks at the front entrance before you walk in. Employees were cheerful and helpful! My drink was flavorful and the boba was good quality! Excited to try more of their menu and I heard they have ube brownies so I need to try that!!! Employee offered me a punch card so if you frequent you can get a free drink! :)

Ailin J.

Yelp

I was so appreciative of the owner when she put sticker caps in the straw hole because I told her I would be traveling with 3 boba drinks. FYI no boba until 11AM but their other drinks are available! Such creative and large menu options for Asian inspired coffee and boba drinks. Obsessed!

Christine H.

Yelp

During my trip to Seattle, I really enjoyed trying ube flavored drinks every chance I got. We decided to stop by here to grab a drink for our walk and I was pleasantly surprised with the options here. I got the ube matcha and I think the flavor was pretty obvious and was a bit sweeter than some of the other places. I also normally don't like matcha, but I thought it was really good here. My friend got the pineapple matcha latte and hers was pretty good. Definitely a flavor I wouldn't have imagined together, but I think it went well. A bit less sweet than the ube, but I thought both drinks were good. Between the two of them, I'd recommend the ube though! The staff was super friendly and explained the drinks to us. I also really enjoyed the interior and thought they had cute decorations. There was limited seating, so if it's busy that day, then you may have to take your drink elsewhere. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and recommend it if you're looking to grab a matcha drink.

Abi L.

Yelp

Atulea is super cute and the drinks are yummy for the price. While ~$7 for one drink seems expensive for those visiting, non-coffee enjoyers in Seattle know this is the average price for a beverage of this size nowadays so it's really hard to complain. The service was wonderful, especially because the staff offered to stamp the same card for my friend who didn't want to get one without us asking. The only thing that I'd keep in mind for those of you who like to study in cafes is that this Atulea in Capitol Hill is on the smaller size with limited seating and only one table that has access to an outlet. If you have a good laptop battery life go ahead, but anyone else, watch out!

Vivien L.

Yelp

Came on a Saturday and there was a small crowd. The interior is cute and there's limited seating. I ordered the ube matcha and it didn't have much flavor. The ube flavor overpowered the matcha flavor but it was still very light. It tasted like ube powdery grassy latte. The hojicha matcha swirl soft serve was icy and also didn't have much flavor.

Annie H.

Yelp

LOVE this matcha spot! Can't stop going ever since I found it near my friends place, so I always make sure to get my morning caffeine fix here whenever I visit Seattle! My go-to is the Pineapple matcha (so refreshing!) but they have plenty of other flavor options like ube, white chocolate, etc etc and also coffee lattes! Cute plant decor, a couple of seats, and very friendly baristas! Highly recommend.

Mel Y.

Yelp

the staffs were so welcoming during my time at this cafe. sweet employees that suggested their favorites which is now mine! i got strawberry matcha with oat milk and it was around $8 which is expensive but considering seattle, very normal. the store is also very cute!

I was not expecting this place to pass expectations, but it kinda did. On top of that, I wasn't expecting white people boba to be this delicious? LOL I came here when me and my friend was trying to search for a boba place around capitol hill, and I was just walking around with him in the park just down the street. It was just a regular exercise type of day and I just wanted to satisfy a boba craving. We arrived, and omg during a weekday afternoon the place was already full and packed with tons of people sitting in their seatings spots. Was not expecting this place to be popular, but it seems so. Good for them! And then we proceeded to order drinks. I got their Hojicha something something boba. I might have told them half sweet with pearls, I really don't remember anymore. I only have like 1 photo of the place and it was the outside because there were no more seating within the establishment. After my first sip of the boba, I was surprised, white people do a great boba. The Hojicha was perfectly bitter and creamy at the same time. On top of that the pearls were delicious and perfectly sweetened. I would still give them 4 stars for their drinks and how amazing it was. I might be coming back? But we will see in the future! Good Job y'all.

I ordered the iced Ube Matcha latte with oat milk. The matcha was just okay, had a pretty bitter taste and wasn't super smooth. The Ube jam they use for this latte was good though, and had a good vanilla flavor with some earthiness. I also had a few sips of the lychee rose milk tea with boba, and found it watery and very mild in flavor. It tasted like black milk tea with a hint of fruitiness, and didn't have strong floral or fruit notes. Disappointed, and the boba wasn't as springy/chewy as I normally like. Maybe I got a bad batch? Wouldn't return given these two drinks were over $15 total. Much better places to grab matcha. Slight nitpick but their cups leak everywhere - you have to mix layered lattes to get the flavors melded but as soon as I used my straw to mix it the lid started leaking heavily. Service was fairly fast and the shop is cute.

Britney D.

Yelp

Aesthetically pleasing inside. The service was nice and quick. Not really sure about the matcha itself. Giving it 2 stars because I honestly couldnt finish my drink. I had high expectations due to high ratings on this place but was unfortunately let down. I got iced ube matcha and the matcha itself seemed cheap and not tasty. It was bitter and astringent. Hardly tasted the ube as well but I guess thats sort of how it is. My friend got a regular iced matcha latte and also had the same bitter and astringent taste to it. Maybe I went on the wrong day so my drink wasnt the best. But I can also tell they dont use authentic ceremonial grade matcha which I wish I knew beforehand.

Sierra R.

Cute boba and tea shop in capital hill. There are only about 4 tables, but in a weekday it was empty. The boba was amazing and the staff is friendly

Shu O.

Yelp

Stopped by for a morning coffee while in the area - very cozy vibes, great for WFH. Loved the brown sugar hojicha oat latte, you can definitely taste both the toasted brown sugar and earthy hojicha. The barista asked for sugar level adjustments, which I wasn't aware of (opted for half sweetness). The ube latte was just alright - the espresso was overpowering and the ube flavor was too light for my liking. I've tried the ube matcha before and definitely prefer that.

Serena W.

Yelp

My friend and I ordered an ube matcha and a lychee rose milk tea. Both drinks tasted just like water. It was really disappointing. I was craving a good boba drink but instead got expensive water. I agree with other reviews on here who also said their drinks tasted very watered down with barely any flavor. The ube matcha drink looked pretty and yet it still tasted like water. Some positives: * staff was friendly and welcoming * inside was clean and cute

Patrick D.

Yelp

This was a welcome stop during our last day of our weekend in Seattle. It was pretty warm out, and I was overdressed. My wife ordered a matcha latte (I think) and I had the gyokuro. I have no idea what that is or why (according to the online menu) the cheese foam would be served separately. Mine came on top of my drink where it belongs! The staff was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable enough to answer our questions. I noticed you could save a little $$ if you opted out of cheese foam in your drink. That was surprising to me since most places don't give a discount for omitting things from your order. But who in their right minds opts out of cheese foam?

Daizha E.

Yelp

It was my first time at Atulea and I think it is worth the hype! There are so many cute spots to take photos and their drink selection is so unique. If you're a matcha-lover who likes to take Instagram photos, this is the place for you!! Being someone who doesn't like overly sweet things, I loved my ube matcha as is! I can taste the matcha, I can taste the ube, I can taste the oatmilk, and it is not overpowered by sugar. Parking is a tad tricky, as expected, but if you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping in!

Generous Y.

Yelp

Cute aesthetics but drinks were pretty average. For a place that specializes in matcha, the matcha here was not impressive. Watered down and lacked taste, the matcha is detracts from the drink whereas every other flavor shines. The ube and butterfly pea flower tea are exceptional. Soft serve here is really good too and the flavors are nice. Steep prices. However it does a fair job of soft serve and boba so props there, just doesn't excel at either. Ube Matcha Float w/ Boba and Butterfly Matcha Swirl - with less ice, half my cup was ice so that was poor. Matcha was super faint, almost non-existent but the ube was strong and powerful. Definitely a richer flavor even though ube is typically mild in taste. Butterfly swirl was minty refreshing and the matcha soft serve actually had a decent matcha flavor, much richer than the drink. Boba was soft and chewy but had absolutely no flavor. Butterfly Matcha - again, the matcha was so light that it was irrelevant. Butterfly tea was much refreshing and cleansing through the minty taste. Otherwise it was a rich butterfly pea flower tea that very few shops offer so knowing that, it's a huge selling point to come and order.

Janet N.

I ordered the ube matcha latte to feed my ube obsession but I am so curious about the pineapple matcha latte! The ube matcha was creamy and the ube was definitely the star of this drink as you would expect. If you are a matcha fan I highly recommend making your way through their fantastic matcha series: matcha white mocha, chaga matcha, turmeric matcha and a few more. They have your classic milk teas as well but what you definitely want to try are their cheese teas. Its delicious, frothy, cheese cream that is sweeter and creamier than you'd expect. Atulea upped the wow factor with some really yummy teas like their grape oolong, rose oolong, and chocolate strawberry to name a few. I tried a bit of the grape oolong cheese tea and it was impressed! 5/5 for both our drinks.

Seen this place on yelp since we landed. Decided to try it out in our last day before we left. Came around 11 wasn't too busy til after we came. We were immediately greeted and helped out. Waited a few minutes for our drinks. As soon as you walk in has a nice plant and woody aesthetic around the coffee shop. My girlfriend enjoyed it and the wall papers. Our drinks were nice and hot and strong how we like them! Took a little while to find parking. But it was worth it. Can see the little details they out in to there shop. Appreciate little things, they take pride in their craft.

Was actually collecting on a tab left by an IG account that likes to help small local businesses. I'm glad I returned and tried something different this time. I really enjoyed the Black Sesame Matcha drink. I do like that you can customize a bit and they offer alternate milks. I grabbed one of Little Mittens Kinako doughnut cubes as well. My friend had the Jasmine Milk Crystal Boba but thinks she would go with the Special Sea Salt Jasmine next time she had a ip of her friends and really liked his.

Came here on a not-very-busy Saturday afternoon and ordered an ube matcha latte. The staff were nice and the drink was delicious. I would come here again!

Atulea is a tea place that offers matcha, milk teas, cheese teas, coffee, seasonal specials, and even 1/2 gallon jugs of teas for those who are fans. While walking around the neighborhood, we stopped by to grab some drinks to go. I ordered the Lychee Rose, which was black tea scented with lychee peels and rosebuds, sweetened with housemade brown sugar. The drink had a subtle rosewater-like flavor to it, and the milk tea itself was creamy. I liked that you could actually taste the black tea. While the milk tea was okay, I think I would have preferred the matcha or one of their seasonal specials instead. Service was super welcoming and friendly, and there's limited seating inside. +friendly & welcoming staff! +limited seating inside

I'm a sucker for Ube drinks. Found this place on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. Hands down this place has the best Ube boba drinks and delicious Ube brownie!!! People are so friendly and the place is decorated sooooo cute too. TBH I could drink their Ube boba and eat ube brownie every day. It is that delicious! Wish they have this place in CO. My mouth is watering while writing this review.

Stars for the nice workers and decor of the place. I got the Ube Matcha Latte. I was told that there was no adjustments on the sugar level as the sweetness comes from the ube. When I got my drink, it looked exactly like the pictures! However, when I took a sip, it did not have much flavor and it was not sweet at all and did not have much flavor. I even made sure to mixed the drink and had my boyfriend try it as well. I usually love matcha lattes, so it was pretty disappointing and I ended up throwing it away.

Y'all (can you tell I'm from Texas) this place is quite adorable and has great matcha. I opted for a Lavender White Mocha iced Matcha latte - SCHMACKED. This item isn't directly on the menu, but you can add a pump or syrup of Lavender to your drinks. I was going between the Lavender vs White Mocha and the kindest baristas said why not both so here we went! It was not super florally, and was just the right amount of sweetness. I normally am super slow at drinking but that was not the case with this. I would definitely come back again, I think I'd want to try the pineapple next but my drink was so good I'd prob go for that again. The actual shop itself is kinda small, I felt like I was lucky to have a table to work at with an outlet nearby. The employees are super nice as well. There's a clean restroom too. I'd love to spend another afternoon remote working here. It's also a great place to grab a drink w a friend! It's probably not meant for larger groups though seating wise as the tables are small.

They have the best cheese foam. I am addicted to the sobacha with cheese foam topping.

Cute boba and tea shop in capital hill. There are only about 4 tables, but in a weekday it was empty. The boba was amazing and the staff is friendly

Came here on a not-very-busy Saturday afternoon and ordered an ube matcha latte. The staff were nice and the drink was delicious. I would come here again!
