We stopped by in search for a good latte to kick off our day and found this cute cafe located in SALT. The cafe was located close to a Drybar, and it wasn't too difficult to find. In terms of parking, we parked a few blocks away to walk around, but there is a parking lot nearby, plus parking for the shopping area.
We loved everything in our experience visiting Bluetree!
First off, the price for all the drinks were reasonable. Nowadays, lattes can go upwards for $7 or even more, but for the quality of drinks and service, a $5.75 latte is a great deal.
We tried three drinks: the blueberry matcha, the dark cloud latte, and the purple cloud latte.
Blueberry matcha: They used real blueberries rather than just a syrup, so you get some blueberry chunks in there. I kind of liked it, sort of like a natural boba if you will. The matcha flavor comes through and pairs well with the blueberry.
Dark cloud latte: This may have been my favorite over the three drinks. You can never go wrong with black sesame with espresso. It's an underrated pairing. The nuttiness of the black sesame balances the espresso, making the drink smooth and sweet. And when you add that sea salt vanilla cold foam, it makes the perfect drink!
Purple cloud latte: It's honestly difficult for me to find an ube latte with the right amount of ube. This was one of the better ones. Not the best, but it's up there. The coffee flavors pulls through, but there is no bitterness when you taste the ube milk. Best part of the latte was the ube cloud! It was so light and refreshing. We didn't want to mix it into our drink just so we can keep sipping at it!
The cafe has a second floor if there isn't enough space in the main level, but we didn't check it out since we were just stopping by. They have a bathroom for customers and a self serve water station while you wait for your drinks.
They also serve wine later in the day, and I imagine that would be a fun visit as well. Overall, I loved Bluetree and can't wait to stop by again when I'm in the area!
