Always kind staff and great service. Coffees and matcha drinks are excellent and the limited bakery options available are decent too. And you get to enjoy it at one of the best hotel lobbies in Austin soo the ambiance is a plus plus plus! read more

Drinks are ok. Tasted like your average cup of joe. 5 stars because it's conveniently located and next to my favorite taco place. read more

Alfred - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love Alfreds! the aesthetics are everything and I do love the drinks they have to offer and pastries. My favorite drinks are the iced vanilla latte and the matcha green tea latte w/lavender. Workers are very kind and staff keeps everything clean. Awesome study area, everyone keeps voices down to be courteous of others. Public street Parking is hard to find, or you can pay $15 for 2hour parking. read more

I've got this thing for iced mochas -- I like to compare them amongst coffee shops and I'm happy to say Alfred has a darn good iced mocha. You can get it with either whole or non-fat milk (2% would be a nice option). I found the Alfred mocha to have what tasted like a hint of vanilla - it was very satisfying and distinguished it from other mochas. I found the people who work there very friendly and they have a nice seating area to people watch at the sophisticated Line hotel. I'm not sure where you are supposed to park if you aren't staying at the hotel or walk in (as I did -- the hotel is literally steps from the walking path next to the lake -- just past the Congress St. bridge). read more

Alfred - Iced mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Alfred is located inside the hip hotel lobby of The Line. Delightful vanilla latte. Sad they no longer had the lavender latte. However, this cups foam is delightful. Decorated with a heart. The espresso has a slight bite which is lovely to my tastebuds. Vanilla is just right. You can taste it but not overwhelming. Best latte I have had in awhile. Satisfying customer service and hotel has great ambience. Only disappointment is they no longer have lavender lattes. I don't detract stars based on inaccuracies told by others. Just sad is all. However this cup of latte love has won me over. read more

Has great coffee selection. They don't offer straws at or have the breakfast burritos like their LA location (was looking forward to that).

Hidden coffee spot in the lobby of the Line hotel! I got their iced hazelnut latte. The espresso was strong and the milk was rich.. a super tasty and indulgent drink! The hazelnut flavor was a little weak so I think I'll just opt for an iced latte with no additional syrup next time since they'll probably taste the same. I saw that they had dark mocha on their menu and will definitely come back to give it a try! read more

Hidden inside the Line hotel. I parked right outside of the garage but if more than four cars come, I'm not sure what happens. Their matcha latte is great! If you're looking for it to be super sweet, I don't think that's what you get here. The matcha concha is a sweet pastry. Crispy on the outside; puffy inside. There's plenty of seating inside the hotel area and for now... it's quiet. Pricy! read more

This place was so cute! I loved the hotel it was in. I went right around the time it was closing-- about 30 minutes before so they had run out of a lot of the iced teas which was really upsetting since I had literally come all the way from Dallas. Parking was impossible to find-- I had to park across the street and was sure I'd get towed-- thank god I didn't. I got the matcha iced tea with oat milk and sweetened. It was okay. Definitely NOT worth $7. Sigh. Disappointed for the most part. Probably will go back and give them another chance but not sure about it yet. read more

(4.8) I am doing little trip around Austin visiting different coffee shops. Alfred was on my "maybe" list, but I was able to make it! FOOD// I got...matcha latte, haha. I put bunch of stevia because I knew it was not going to be sweet. Anyways, I thought the drink was superb! I loved the balance of matcha powder and milk. Matcha Latte was very smooth and well balanced (w/ ice). SERVICE// I have no idea because I did not really have such an interaction with the barista. ATMOSPHERE// I like their slogan (?!), "But First, Coffee" because it gives its unique-ness of the store's design and interior ideas. It is very insta-worthy except it is part of the LINE HOTEL; so, the shop shares a space. SURROUNDING// Hecka crazy to find parking, paid $11, just to go here. read more

So amazing! And helpful with my milk allergy! They were creative and kind! Great coffee! read more

Alfred - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm from LA where Alfred originates from, and this was the worst, most foul "Alfred" if you can call it that. Half of the menu items were missing, and when I asked about it, the barista with a total of probably 2 brain cells just admitted to me that Alfred corporate had just come in and wondered the same thing. Just close this one down, it's an embarrassment to the brand. read more

I was staying at The LINE and I was so excited Alfred was right in their lobby. I tried their Iced Vanilla Latte W/ Oat Milk and a Matcha Concha. The Iced Vanilla Latte W/ Oat Milk was deliciously silky, but the Matcha Concha was quite disappointing. It tasted stale. Aren't these supposed to be fluffy? Service was alright. read more

Love the coffee shop in the Line Hotel. There's plenty of cute spots to sit in after getting your coffee. I got the Alfred latte with the four espresso shots which was quite delicious. It wasn't too sweet or anything. read more

Stopped in town for a foodie adventure. I saw the photos and the environment of Alfred and knew I had to give it a try. The hotel was very fancy, however, the friendliness of the staff were not. There were no thank You's and I just did not feel welcomed. I was recommended the matcha with oat milk. Drink was decent. I will not see myself returning due to the uptight feeling from the staff and lack of welcome. From a fellow barista. read more

It's okay I've heard about their matcha latte being good and vanilla being exceptionally tasty. I got an almond vanilla matcha latte and it didn't really taste of vanilla just sugar and matcha it was a standard drink. Nothing special it's a pain in the ass to park but apparently you get free valet parking if your just going in for coffee. I'd go back but not go out of my way for it. read more

I've always heard good things about Alfred from others so I was super excited to hear they had a location in Austin, TX! I went with my friend and we got two different lattes. My friend stated that hers was pretty sweet while mine was very bitter, which makes sense since it was a matcha latte. The coffee is definitely on the pricier side. My matcha latte with oat milk was a whopping $6+ dollars, including tax! A tad overpriced in my opinion. The coffee is not bad, but I've had better. You're definitely paying for the hype and location. read more

Alfred - (Left) Vanilla Latte, (Right) Matcha Latte w/ Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ahhhhh, yes. Another coffee house. Another craft coffee. Another mustached barista. Alfred is in the lobby of a hotel. The coffee bar is a bit hard to find, as it's under the stairs. Once you find it, it seems like someplace from a movie. It's so hip it almost hurts. There are dozens of drink options, many of which included ingredients I wasn't familiar with. I went with an iced vanilla latte. The vanilla syrup was house-made and it was truly delicious. The drink wasn't too sweet OR too bitter. It was just right. I'd recommend drinking the coffee nearby, because the paper straws only last about 22 seconds in the drinks (not Alfred's fault!). But would have been more enjoyable if I was able to drink it without a straw, instead of having to hop into an Uber read more

Cute little coffee shop, nice interior design. Went with coworkers on a Friday morning, no line. I ordered matcha latte. It was not sweet at all, I don't think they added any sugar in it. I usually order reduced sugar in my milk teas, but next time I think I'll add a little bit sugar to this matcha latte :) The matcha taste was strong and lingering. We also got the matcha concha, little croissant-like pastry with sweet matcha coating. Overall I like it and will revisit when I crave for matcha latte :) read more

The coffee here is so good I actually came twice for coffee in the one week I'm here in Austin. This little coffee spot is hidden behind a wall, inside the Line hotel. It is pricey, yes, but well worth it compared to what you get at other coffee shops. And the service is great! Cashiers are very polite, and they mentioned both times that their espresso machines pull 2 shots at a time so 2nd add shot is free (I was testing if the second cashier was equally as honest: yes!) which is so generous. There is only one cashier and one barista at a time so be prepared for a wait, though both times I went they moved pretty quick. If I'm ever back here this would be my coffee spot. Only drawback is they use paper straws. I'm all for being environmentally friendly, however, I like to slowly sip and savor my coffees, and, combine that with Austin humidity and heat... My straw melted after half an hour each time. Gotta bring my own straws. Try the matcha concha! read more

Simple coffee prepared amazingly, the service was fast the roast was amazing. Actually stopped here twice during our visit because the first experience was so great we wanted to try it again. Only thing is I wish they had a size larger the 16oz sometimes we just need a little more coffee. read more

Alfred - Service area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place looks super cute but don't come in the morning if you are in a hurry and expecting morning coffee pace. I waited in line for 15 minutes and they barely got through 4 people and I had to bail because there was no way they were going to get through the 11 people in front of me in 20 minutes which just makes no sense to me for a coffee joint. I think I would need to have budgeted almost 40-45 minutes to get through the line around 8am. Such a bummer because the reviews are awesome! read more

I wish there were an Alfred (or few) in the DC area. I would probably get a matcha latte every day. In fact, I did get an iced matcha latte every day I stayed at the LINE Hotel. They have a bunch of milk options (including oat milk), which is great for anyone avoiding dairy. The matcha itself is strong and flavorful, without being butter or overly grassy. And IT DOESN'T COME SWEETENED. You can obviously choose to have your drink sweetened by adding honey or simple syrup, but I love that there is no sugar mixed in with the matcha powder (like you would see at Starbucks). On top of everything, the ice cubes are huge, so they don't water down the drink. My boyfriend opted for coffee, which he said was good, too. read more

Quaint coffee shop located inside The Line. I knew about Alfred from LA and had been wanting to try it out the new location. We had friends visiting from out of town and stopped in while we were downtown. I had the iced Chai Latte with coconut milk. It was very light and refreshing for a hot summer day in Austin. The coffee bar itself is small, but it is located in the lobby of the hotel so there are ample amounts of seating and the decor is gorgeous, modern, and simple. read more

The atmosphere was amazing!! The menu was also great. My only downfall was, I ordered a vanilla matcha latte and it tasted like straight milk no matcha or vanilla...

Alfred - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

The place looks cute so I'll give them that. couldn't even go in to check them out. They're located in a hotel on a busy road, with a small drop off, with no view of an entrance into the garage just the exit. Got into a fight with someone over this reason alone. And a taxi driver literally almost rammed into me. It's a mad house so be careful when you go.. I feel like it was only this chaotic cause of the holidays approaching? I really wanna give Texans the benefit of the doubt. I tried calling them MULTIPLE times but of course they don't have a direct line to them, it's through the hotel. They don't even pick up. So I didn't even know who to call to find the parking area. I finally gave up and went to Revival and I'm glad I did. read more

The matcha latte wasn't as strong in matcha flavoring as I expected but we liked the iced mocha latte with oat milk. We also purchased a fresh coconut which was super yummy and they offered paper straws which was awesome & eco friendly. My only complaint is the barista at the cash register was incredibly rude to not just us but the customers in front of us. The girl in front of us ordered a strawberry matcha and asked for an alternative flavoring to which the barista responded "no that wouldn't taste good" and ended by rudely telling the customer she couldnt change the size because its a $10 drink. Before leaving we asked for saran wrap to take the coconut with us (since austin is hot and it was an entire coconut, why throw it away) and it came wrapped when we purchased it so we didnt think it'd hurt to ask, but she looked confused and had a nasty, baffled, elite-ess attitude. I would return for the drinks but not the service. read more

Cute place in a hotel. They don't really have a large "specialty latte" menu so if that's what you're interested in be prepared for limited options. The coffee shop itself doesn't really have a lobby, but the hotel lobby is beautiful. read more

Delicious!! The workers were so sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable. Line of about 7 people in front of us and only took 15 min.

Had a Matcha Latte with oat milk and dates; the drink was so good and tasty especially since it's the first time having this combo and visiting this spot. Drink was very refreshing, ambiance was really nice in the hotel. Drinks and pastries were 5 stars, giving 4 starts because of price, I wasn't expecting this to be as much as it was; that's more on me than Alfred for not doing the research and setting that expectation. read more

Coffee is always good, wait wasn't long, and the seating area in the hotel have a lot of options! Staff could've been friendlier, basically my only negative point! read more

Ambience: 5 Food: N/A Service: 4 Location: 4 If you're looking for an "Insta-worthy" coffee shop, look no further! Alfred has a VERY cute interior, decorated with greenery, "But First... Coffee" neon sign and more. It's a teeny-tiny coffee shop in the middle of The Line Hotel, but there's plenty of lounge seating in the hotel's lobby. My lattes have always turned out delicious! My ONLY downfall for this is the "location" rating, which is definitely subjective - I don't live or work in downtown Austin, or else it would definitely be a "5". For example, me and a few girlfriends I met off of Bumble BFF grabbed coffee after we had lunch at the Fareground one day, so this was the perfect place for that. However, going to The Line is typically a bit out of the way for me; The Line is smack-dab in the middle of downtown and there's barely ever any street parking. However, I *believe* they give free valet if it's 20 (?) minutes or less. I haven't tried the food yet (and I'm unsure as to whether I will anytime soon) but the hotel's flagship restaurant - named "Arlo Grey" - is only steps away. read more

One of the best iced vanilla latte's I've ever had! I get all the hype with Alfred's now. They use Stumptown coffee and it is sooooo good. There's a little area with your usual cream and sugar set up but they also have honey, simple syrup and paper straws! They have tables and chairs off to one side with a very laid back atmosphere in the hotel lobby. If you're in the area give it a go, we walked from the Yeti flagship store since parking seems scarce around here. Major bonus points to the baristas! They were very friendly and informative! read more
