i should've spotted a corporate slop coffee chain from a mile away and ran :/ alfred's is like... OKAY. nothing to rave about. it's there when you wanna feel superior over ur friends getting starbucks across the street. the price? ALOT LMFAO. my tiny drink (smallest size btw) cost TEN DOLLARS. this gives me a love/hate relationship with LA and their coffee scene because that is ridiculous. all because i asked for an extra shot of matcha... a DOLLAR. i'm from the IE and no drink costs more than 8 bucks with adjustments, which is still a lot but at least they're small businesses. i heard from my friend other Alfred's have much greener matches, because even with my extra shot it wasn't as potent. nonetheless, the peach syrup was absolutely delicious and not artificial at all.... BUT THERE WASNT ENOUGH. i had to ask for extra syrup when my friend's same order was initially sweeter. the coconut foam was yummy too, but it's just the lack of consistency and attention to detail that cannot justify the really STEEP price of this place. any other small-business would weigh out the matcha, syrups, make sure the price is reasonable (i think), and so forth. i don't think i'll be back to alfred's westwood location, but if the desire for fruity milk and the slightest bit of matcha flavor hits me, maybe another location would do... ACTUALLY NAH IM IN LOS ANGELES. Ktown is RIGHT THERE LMAO. bye yall see u at ROK instead :PPP read more

I had a chance to visit on a Tuesday morning around 9am. The space was bigger than I expected! There were a few people working on their laptops and others hanging out when I stopped by. They had a Disney playlist playing which gave it a fun vibe. I placed my order through the app and it was ready by the time I arrived. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and it was so good! Parking can be a bit tricky since it's mostly metered parking in the area. read more

Alfred Coffee - iced matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Large Alfred location in Westwood village. I've been here a few times and the girl who takes my order is always super sweet. Your order can take a bit since they get pretty busy, but there is a good amount of seating in a nice and bright atmosphere, so it's a great spot to get some studying/work done. Street parking can be very difficult, but that's all of Westwood village. read more

Usually happy with this location but today I ordered my favorite chocolate chip walnut cookie because I saw it available in the glass case, but when I bit it I found out it was their sesame cookie and I have a slight sesame intolerance. Please label your stuff properly as there was no sign for sesame cookies in the case today!! read more

This place sucks. The matcha is 10 dollars and tastes shitty, the barista got my order wrong and then he had an attitude about it saying that they made an exception to make my drink. Why take my order when you dont make that kind of drink? And i had asked for no added sugars cause I dont consume added sugar and my drink came extremley sweet with added sugar. Dont waste your time coming here, starbucks has better matcha and coffee read more

This is a really nice spot to study or catch up with someone. The inside is huge with plenty of seating. I parked in the garage, but there's also plenty of metered street parking around. I ordered the 12oz seasonal Ded Cool matcha latte and a 12oz Cloud Espresso Cream, and my total was about $15. In my opinion, it's a little pricey for the size, but the drinks actually tasted pretty good. Before mixing, the matcha had a really nice flavor, and after mixing, the blueberry lavender flavor blended really well with it. I also liked that it wasn't overly sweet even with the flavors. The Cloud Espresso Cream was also really good, and the cream top made it even better. Service was fast, the drinks were good, and the space is great if you want somewhere to sit for a while. I would come back if I'm in the area. read more

Alfred Coffee - Strawberry Cloud Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the largest Alfred locations I've ever been to... inside is super cute. Lots of tables to study/ hang out/ catch up, etc. Friendly staff. You get greeted right away with the warmest welcome. The selection here is pretty good, even though they did not have Nowhere Bakery brownies that I usually get in stock, but my drink was amazing and they did have the popcorn that I like. The iced vanilla oat lattes here are simply amazing!!!!! It's my go to order and it's so good!!! Inside was clean. Love the wallpaper, decor and overall aesthetic! read more

came here and got the strawberry Matcha along with the cloud Matcha. First thing to know was that the service is mean, the workers there are not friendly and it seems to be a reoccurring theme with the other reviews. we didn't even get asked what size we wanted for the cloud Macha and the person who took our order, was blatantly on her phone, which seemed quite disrespectful. The Matcha cloud was super salty and it tasted more of a creamy drink rather than Matcha itself. The strawberry Matcha was alright however, so I give it a 6.9 out of 10. for the service and cloud Matcha, I rate it a solid, 3 out of 10. the ambiance was chill, pretty small area and it was minimalistic and modern. read more

Great first time at Alfred's! Alfred's is located in Westwood village and from the front would seem like an unassuming shop. When you enter though, the coffee shop is lively and the decor lovely. I love the greenery on the walls and the decorations. There's also ample seating and the shop can be used for a great place to study or meet up with friends. I ordered the chai latte iced which tasted amazing. I appreciated how they had different milks to choose from which from the view, seems like the shop makes themselves. Next time I come, I plan on trying the strawberry matcha. Service was great and quick. The servers were kind and answered any questions I had about the menu. Will definitely be back! read more

Alfred Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was my first time going to Alfred's. They have a variety of drinks to choose from and they have coffee beans to make at home. They have a selection of drinks/ juices by the door that you can pick. They have indoor seating area. When I visited it was busy people were sitting and some were standing waiting for their orders. I ordered a lavender latte, it was good. I really enjoyed my drink. Cashier was nice and helpful and he was patient with the customers. Not making them rush while ordering. Overall, it was a great experience. P.S it is kind of pricey compare to other coffee shops, but it's worth a try and going there. Parking can be a headache since there are a lot of stores. read more

This location is so cute, and it's a great place to get some work done, with super high ceilings and a good amount of seating. However, the coffee, at least my drink, was not that great. I asked the barista what's popular, and the lavender latte was mentioned, so I gave it a try. The lavender syrup is very artificial, and it ruined the coffee in my opinion. read more

Alfred Coffee - Lavender latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I went here with a friend to try the iced matcha latte and was not disappointed. The matcha was smooth and earthy and fairly priced. I like that they have three sizes to choose from. I personally got a small but could've definitely gone for a larger one. The cloud foam on top was 75 cents extra which is pretty good compared to the $1.00 or $1.25 extra charge I've seen at other coffee places. Also they don't charge extra for oat milk! The only thing that got me was that the drink came unsweetened, which wasn't made clear to me at the counter although I definitely should have asked. However the cloud foam was sweet enough to compensate. I love the cleanliness and design of the place, it looks like it would make for a great study place. read more

Cool coffee shot. Nice modern decor, and spotlessly clean. My iced American was perfectly prepared, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the line moved at a good pace. I only tried the coffee but they also have the expected small area of pastries and prepared foods etc. They have indoor and outdoor seating available read more

A must have for vegans in LA is their vegan cream top lattes. I haven't found non dairy cream top lattes anywhere else. This location is busy and it's hard to find a table unless UCLA is on break read more

Located in the vicinity of UCLA this place is packed with students so good luck finding a place to sit. The staff were friendly and got our orders out pretty fast. The burrito in my opinion wasn't worth it for the price but the hot sauce that came with it was great. My family enjoyed their coffee and pastries and would probably try a different location next time. read more

This is definitely one of the better coffee spots in the area if you're looking for more of a gourmet coffee experience. The interior is gorgeous honestly, that alone makes up the majority of the stars in this review. It's definitely a vibe, and I get why people come here for the aesthetic. That being said, the actual coffee isn't quite hitting the mark for me, especially at this price point. I've ordered from here probably over twenty times (thanks to meetings and lectures nearby), so I've given it a fair shot. While I appreciate that they make their drinks from scratch and have a unique method, the flavor just hasn't impressed me. Not to mention, it's not the most warm or friendly environment when it comes to staff interaction. There have been times I've walked up to order and was met with a blank stare. I'm not expecting anyone to be fake, but a simple hello would go a long way.. definitely gives off a very posh/standoffish feel. That said, it's still the best option in this area, mostly because the surrounding coffee spots tend to be even more mediocre in terms of quality. But if I had a choice to go elsewhere in a different neighborhood, I probably would. If you're looking to study, chill, or take some cute pics, this is 100% the place to be. But if your main priority is really good coffee, this probably won't be your favorite. It does the job, but not much more than that. read more

We were in Westwood Village waiting for the Hammer Museum to open and stopped by Alfred for coffee. I ordered an iced lavender latte with oat milk. The decor and wallpaper were beautiful, and the coffee was good. I also loved their artistic cup sleeves as they are collabing with Amazon Prime. I love Fall Out and Mr. & Mrs Smith! They use paper straws and don't have a restroom, but the staff suggested nearby options like the Hammer Museum. read more

Vegan burrito was ordered, served me a pork burrito. They weren't apologetic. Lied telling me they'll refund me, didn't refund me (one month later). Had to dispute it with my credit card. There's small businesses in Westwood, I would go there instead. read more

4++ I came in here to grab a quick drip coffee. So I can't speak to any of their specially prepared drinks. The person helping me was great. The space itself is pretty large and it looks like it's a good spot for people to study or hang out. Which makes sense since it's so close to UCLA. The usual parking frustrations in the area apply here. If you work in the area or go to school around here, then it might be less of an issue. read more

Popped in for a quick latte three sugars raw some half-and-half, nice and iced cause it's gonna get hot today smiled at the girl behind the counter and she smiled back from then on. It was awesome. My tipped well the service was immediate and fucking good latte. I liked all the plants inside and gave it a little greenfield instead of some cold stupid fucking Study everybody's reading books and looking at laptops. read more

I got a hot matcha strawberry latte with SF pump. It tastes decent, not as grainy as people online claim to be. It is smooth and has the perfect blend of matcha and strawberry. However the price doesn't justify its quality and size tho. I had better matcha at OC and it is bigger and better with the same price. The environment is kinda loud, but a lot of people like to study there because of the free WIFI and easy to access restroom. read more

I know it's basic but I love Alfred!! Their coffee is delicious and I love their options. This past time I got the protein latte with half almond and half oat milk. Really good and I love that they have that option. Their vanilla latte is a classic of course. As for food, they've started carrying wake and late breakfast burritos and they are DELICIOUS. Although a bit small, they rival almost any I've had in LA. Yum. We also got a blueberry scone and wow was it delicious. This location has a good amount of seating and is super cute. read more

Alfred Coffee - Protein latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Alfred's is one of my favorite coffee chains and I'm so glad to see it expanding in LA. I was delighted to discover this location where Peet's coffee used to be. The signage of the salted maple latte drew me in and I knew I had to try it! It was busy when I arrived and there wasn't any seating. It was very noisy and hard to hear. I didn't feel as relaxed here as I do at other Alfred's. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my drink and I was so happy they had a wide selection of non dairy milk options. It was very tasty and well balanced. I felt rejuvenated after drinking the latte and despite being busy, the baristas did a great job of being prompt yet not sacrificing the quality of the drink. read more

The first time I tried Alfreds was in weho and that is when I fell in love with iced vanilla lattes. I stopped by the westwood location and got the same drink and it was terrible. Thought it was an off day so tried again a few months later and it was still so bad that I couldn't even finish half of it. Why such a huge discrepancy between the locations? read more

Alfred's has really pretty atmosphere, but I found the matcha pretty standard grassy tasting but appreciate it is unsweetened unless you ask. Service wasn't the nicest unfortunately, but they were fast and there's plenty of space inside, but hard to find a clean table. There were only limited outlets and no restrooms in the place either, FYI! I could see myself coming back and trying coffee! read more

Alfred Coffee - Unsweetened iced matcha latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This Alfred's is a good location to go to for studying, catching up with friends, or just grabbing a quick drink. Food/Drink: I had the iced americano and the Alfred Vanilla Latte. I added a splash of half and half to my iced americano, and it was perfect, especially for the price ($4.50). I also had the iced alfred vanilla latte, which was on the sweeter end for sure but iI enjoyed it since it had a different taste compared to the other vanilla lattes. Ambiance (and Study Value): Not a lot of outlets in this location, so I would not recommend coming if your device needs to charge. The tables are also somewhat small and in my opinion only can fit one person in terms of devices- You can fit two laptops on the table, but they will be touching each other and there will be no writing space! They play pop music, but it's energetic and there is a cozy vibe regardless. I was able to find a table since I came during a rainy day, but this place is usually packed with students. Lots of plants indoor, which was a plus! Service: Located at a street corner, and had lots of different places nearby, such as the hammer museum. Very walkable since near UCLA. Staff was friendly with drink recommendations, coffee came out fast, and the entire area was very clean. Overall: I would come back with my friends to study or just to grab a coffee and walk around Westwood. read more

I went to Alfred's earlier today and ordered the same drink I always get, but asked for a full pump of syrup instead of a half. When I got the drink, it tasted like there was no syrup at all. I came back and politely asked if it could be remade. One of the workers was understanding and said it was no problem. Then Maddy came over and said, "I remember making your drink and I made it correctly," and started explaining the ingredients to me as if I don't get it regularly. I told her I know how it's made and that there was definitely no syrup since I'm very sensitive to sweetness. She kept arguing with me instead of just remaking it, so I asked for someone else to make it. As I walked away, I heard her whisper something to her coworker instead of just saying it out loud. Completely unprofessional and unnecessary. read more

Alfred was such a pleasant surprise for me! I had a virtual meeting and was in search of a coffee shop with WiFi available nearby. They had seating available and the reviews mentioned free WiFi, so I stopped by. It's a relaxed shop with both indoor and outdoor seating, so I found myself a spot outside. I'm not much of a coffee person, but they had a jasmine yuzu melon iced tea that sounded refreshing for the season. I had a reusable bottle that the kind staff let me use for my drink, although their ice cubes were too large to fit until they melted a little bit. I was settled into my seat for my meeting in no time. The drink was definitely refreshing and not overly sweet. The flavors went well together and I could taste each flavor too. I wish Alfred had more tea drinks considering how good this one was, but I suppose they're called Alfred Coffee for a reason. Overall, it's a convenient coffee shop with a great tea drink. I'm not sure I'll be back because I don't drink much coffee outside of the occasional coffee chat hangout, but I'll be there if they release another tea drink in the future. read more

Alfred's has fast and friendly service and I love the vibes in here off the season from the UCLA students. If it wasn't packed full, I'd love to hang around here a little bit more but it seems to be pretty busy during the school year. I tried the chai and was pleasantly surprised by its quality, but ultimately found it to be on the pricier sides. I'd come back but might also look elsewhere if you're looking for a cheaper option or less-specialty drinks. read more

Mel and Alex are so sweet, I love coming here. The store itself is GORGEOUS. It's huge and extremely welcoming. I will be visiting again.

I stood in line for seven minutes, being the first one in line. The barista simply ignored me, but then she finally did. I ordered one coffee and she said I'd have to wait 15 minutes, so I refused. Don't you think that's a pretty long wait for one cup of coffee? It's Thursday, 11:30 a.m. I won't go there again. read more

There's only one person who knows what she's doing and hustles to get orders out. She has red hair and they told me she's the manager. Every time I'm in there she's trying to educate the staff on servicing the walk-in customers making sure they're doing the drinks in order. The service still continues to decline. I've had to wait over 20 minutes while they're putting out drinks for people who came in significantly later than me because there's no semblance of order and they just make whatever drink they want. I literally watch my cup sitting there while people who came in 15 min after me have grabbed their drinks and go. Will not continue to frequent this location. I always order ahead unless they turn it off during busy times. At least apologize for the oversight don't tell customers everyone's new and we're short so it is what it is. read more

My trip to LA consisted of beach hopping and trying all the matcha cafes. Alfred was on my list... specifically the Malibu location. But it was closed when I got to Malibu. Anyways, with all the driving I spotted an Alfred by chance and I don't remember why we were in Westwood but I had to stop in. The exterior was stunning, tall white brink shop. The inside was just as gorgeous and very spacious. No public restroom like almost all of Los Angeles... yeah that needs to change lol. Anyways, I got an iced vanilla matcha latte with oat milk. I really liked it. Their famous vanilla bean syrup is so good! I forgot to buy a bottle. I also bought a tin of matcha to make at home. I haven't made it yet but I will keep you updated. read more

Fast, friendly service and the inside is so cute. I visited in summer when it wasn't packed full of UCLA students so it was a chill, quiet atmosphere inside that I would definitely sit for a while in. The inside is well decorated and air conditioned. I got a normal vanilla latte with nonfat milk ($7). Slightly on the expensive side and the coffee was very strong. The reason I gave 4 stars not 5 is that the coffee was very good (this latte is strong and not super sweet). But they didn't mix it. The cap was hard to mix in and the syrup was all at the bottom. Starbucks does it like this for the caramel macchiato, but the milk is mixed so you still get sweetness. All of the syrup pooled at the bottom which despite vigorous mixing and swirling made for a very strong latte and then halfway through a slightly too sweet latte. Their vanilla syrup was good, nice flavor and not fake tasting. I would go again, but it's not the best latte I've ever had. read more

I truly think Alfred's is overhyped. Their matcha is so light I only taste the milk and ice. The lavender latte was better but also they are not cheap!!!!! Like almost 8$ for a lot of their drinks.

Alfred Coffee is legit. I've tried most spots in Westwood and by far this is my favorite. The coffee has a lot of taste so you know it's been brewed right. They offer pastries, bagel sands, as well breakfast items such a breakfast burrito and sandwich. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Items ordered came out quickly. The shop was very spacious with plenty of seating and nicely decorated. I'm definitely going to frequent this spot a lot for my coffee fix. Happy Nom Nom! read more

I've driven by Alfred so many times I finally stopped by. Their flat white coffee is solid! Bummer that they only serve in paper cups and not mugs even if you ask to drink inside. It's near UCLA so expect the limited tables to be filled by students and their laptops. Nice decor and very friendly staff. Limited metered parking all around. I would come back. read more
