Atulea

Super cute milk tea place that's putting efforts in making good quality drinks in the neighborhood! We stopped by a couple of weeks ago and we have been back for more already! I especially like their ube matcha milk tea - definitely one of a kind! Very nice staff, great service!

I had been eyeing the Phinney Ridge spot for Atulea's second location and awaited its opening. Finally, I had the opportunity to stop in on 2/17/24. It's getting a bit tough getting street parking on this stretch on Phinney Ave N - lots of nearby popular spots!I ended up selecting an iced hojicha milk tea without boba from a very upbeat counter person. Love the interior decor, natural light, and overall enthusiastic vibe. Nice addition to the Greenwood - Phinney Ridge north/south corridor. Lots of new spots opening around the same time frame as Atulea. I definitely appreciated the pronounced hojicha taste. Flavorful and refreshing.

I met up with a friend here today. Service was very friendly and I had a good time. The store is west facing so you get a nice natural light in the afternoon. The interior is cute and there are good comfy seats to hang out. I got the matcha strawberry latte with boba - the strawberry sauce's color was quite bloodier looking than what I expected but it was nice that it wasn't overly sweet. I felt the sour/tanginess of the strawberry than sweetness and I wished it was a bit sweeter. Matcha had a nice consistency to it and wasn't chalky. Boba is on the softer side (not as soft as the one at Yi Fang) and I thought they were good quality. It's such a cute little cafe that I would love to come back and try another tea - perhaps the milk tea with the grape flavor, because I love muscat oolong tea.

PHINNEY RIDGE FINALLY GOT A BOBA/TEA SPOTTT!!! and the best part is...it's GOOD!Heres wussup:*all those fun latte options can be made with either matcha or espresso*all drink options (milk tea included) can be made with any of the alternative milks, free of charge. Sweetness is adjustable for all drinks too*boba becomes less of a eco-moral debate as they have reusable cups for sale, and all straws (boba ones too!) are compostable, cups are recyclable*staff was super knowledgeable and patient & helpful in my indecisionThe ube matcha had incredible flavor, and the lychee rose was floral and delicious. The only issue with this place is that I'm going to have to use the will of the good lordt to stop myself from going every day. Punch cards for a free drink every 10th lunch !! Limited seating, but the big windows clearly open up and I'm excited to stop in come warmer weather

Excellent service and a great addition to greenwood- phinney. No other bubble tea boba places nearby and more coffee is always welcome.They specialize in matcha and cheese foam on your coffee. The staff is exceptionally friendly and genuinely kind- not the i have to compliment / make small talk with each other customer types.I tried the black sesame hojicha on their soft opening day. They were fas, made well with just the right amount of ice and good balance of flavors. My husband and I aren't matcha lovers, but this was good and we would likely try some of their other drinks- specifically the cheese foam. Go say hello and support a new business!

I loveeee this place. First off it's super cute and in a nice area. Still easy to access with the link. The ambiance is nice and calming but limited seating to might be hard to study there. But matcha was sooo good. Mix it well and it's delicious. A bit on the pricier side but would deff go again!

Great service and great drinks! Got the chocolate strawberry cheese tea and loved it. Will definitely be coming back

I've been to Atulea Capitol Hill location last year and I thought their drinks tasted bland. I tried their Hojicha Latte with Black sugar which costed $7.75 and I'm disappointed. It was not sweet and it didn't have a strong Hojicha flavor. Full of ice with tasteless brown colored liquid with powdery cinnamon. Interior looks cute with colorful tiles and chairs but their drinks suck.

Went to Atulea's new location in Phinney Ridge! The one in Capitol Hill has never disappointed me, so I was looking forward to coming here while I was up north.This location was a bit smaller than the Capitol Hill one but I like how they have bar seating here. The aesthetic was BEAUTIFUL. I love their green neon sign! It was so unique.I got the Dirty Matcha and my wife got a Strawberry Matcha. We both enjoyed our drinks, the matcha quality at Atulea is unmatched.The drinks were reasonably priced for the quality you're getting. 10/10 Would definitely come back!!

Don't overlook Atulea!! Their drinks are really good! I've been to their cap hill location a handful of times and have always left super satisfied. So was super excited when I saw they opened a new location with better parking options. I was craving something not milky, and the baristas suggested I try their personal favorite: peach oolong tea with strawberry puree. I opted to remove the milk cap and add boba and omg. Props to the barista for this beautiful recommendation! Everyone was so friendly and nice. And the drink was so delicious. Boba was perfectly chewy and soft. Drink not too sweet, nice fragrant tea flavor. Overall drinks 10/10. People 20/10. I'll definitely be back
