Atulea — Restaurant in Seattle

Looked forward to this place to open for a while, and happy they did not disappoint. There's a variety of drinks and flavors to pick from, and the friendly staff is always helpful should you need assistance. The drinks are well prepared (they're getting faster) and the flavors are spot on. We tend to stick with matcha base and include various jams, topping, foams, etc for variety. The red bean was pretty good, but could be more intense. The black sesame was awesome; wish they'd bring it back. The cheese foam was tasty and fluffy; definitely getting this again. The boba had the right chew. Looking forward to trying other flavor combinations.

The shop has a big glass front wall that can open, so it should be a neat place as the weather gets better. Inside is a bit small, the waiting area can get a bit awkward when they're busy. Contactless payments accepted.

The stamp card is cute, but I wish they'd track it electronically. Don't want to carry it around, and I end up with a stack of barely stamped cards at home, even though they'll combine.

So glad there is a reliable boba place...

Honestly, I was so happy to see a new boba store in the neighborhood! I happened to catch sight of it as I was walking by 10 minutes before they were closing, and popped my head through the door to ask if they still had boba (they did). I ordered a regular milk tea with tapioca, less sugar. Considering that it was at the end of the day, the tapioca pearls were not bad (maybe 7/10), and the tea blend was good (7.5/10). The service, however, needs improvement. One barista was relatively cordial, the other was condescending (as another reviewer put it) and seemed like they were in a bad mood (unprofessional). If you don't care about service, and you are craving boba, then I recommend this place. If service is something that impacts your experience, I would say to take your chances--you might get the...

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 fast, coffee( was told hojicha is a form of matcha but more earthy and rice flavored) 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.
