    I got a vanilla iced latte. So good. The perfect sweetness & the views are lovely The only thing is the bathroom was really dirty

    Espresso cola float & lavender matcha

    I've been here before and it's always good. I got a seasonal espresso cola float and my friend got a lavender latte. Both were very good.

    I have seen the name Alfred coffee a few times when I was in the LA area. I decided to finally give it a try. I ordered the World famous vanilla latte with only 2 pumps of vanilla and oat milk. It was delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. They also sell pastries and other types of drinks there as well as merchandise for matcha making. There are metered parking on the street. Service was great. Ambiance was a bit dark.

    The espresso with the cloud foam is a must try! Such yummy coffees with a great breaky menu.

    Love the clean flavors and beautiful presentation Nice that this location also does a lot of collaborations with pop-ups The staff is great and keeps things rolling This location always has a yeastie boys bagel truck out front too

    Iced Vanilla Latte, Breakfast Sandwich
    Clancy A.

    I don't know how to feel about this honestly... The coffee had good quality but it was way too overpriced and the sandwiches were fine but still it's too much for not a lot. We paid $60 for 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches, we could've just went to a fancy restaurant or something. That was my only concern but the place was really nice and aesthetically appealing. There was nice space to sit and take pictures! The staff were nice and they treated us well which is what mattered to be honest.

    Amazing bakery selection!

    Stopped in for the LA Sparks X Alfred collab and it did not disappoint! The courtside cloud latte was phenomenal, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything on this menu. Great drinks, cool atmosphere, and great pastry options too! The service was fast and the people were very warm and bubbly. Excited to find another great coffee spot I will definitely be coming back to!

    I enjoyed this Alfred Coffee shop location on Melrose Place. This is the original location and first of many locations in LA. The shop is multi-level, trendy, and comfortable. The lighting sets a comfortable mood with the dark walls and abstract art. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a restroom for customers. The customer service was very good. They offer the standard array of conventional coffees including iced, cold brew, hot, and seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice. On multiple visits I tried the iced coffee and was impressed. There's also a menu of sweet and savory baked goods, bagels, yogurt, sandwiches, and such. Street parking is available and is the reason I chose this location over others. A couple visits is enough for me to say I'll visit again when in the area.

    The things that husbands do for their wives. Wifey wanted to check out this Los Angeles Korean skincare pop-up event because the first 100 in line get a bag with products worth $200. We hopped in line just before 6am for an event that starts at 10am. Praise God we made that 100 people milestone, but for getting in line before the sun comes up, I had to grab a cup of joe to give me the energy to last for the next 4 hours. Alfred Coffee was a short jaunt from where we were waiting in line and all was right again. The shop seemed like a cool place to hang out and the staff provided friendly customer service, but the coffee I ordered wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. Alfred Coffee is a short drive from Beverly Hills and can be found on the street Melrose Place and perpendicular to Croft Avenue, which reminded me of that 90s tv show with the same name that aired after Beverly Hills 90210. The coffee shop shares the same building as Kate Somerville and Lashify. It is next to Forte Forte, across the street from Maria Tash and Waterworks, and it's diagonally across the street from Balmain Paris. There is street and meter parking, but drive through adjoining neighborhoods to find free parking. I visited on Sunday and I saw a bunch of white pop-up tents being set up for a Farmer's Market. As I entered the vine covered entrance to Alfred, I had to walk through their first floor sitting area and then descend a flight of stairs to get to their order counter. Across from the order counter, there is a round table for seating, there is ledge top and a large wooden picnic bench table on the first floor for more seating, and there is covered outdoor seating. I liked the eclectic decor with the floral wallpaper, distressed wooden flooring, tiled wall, perched bullhorns hung above the lime fireplace, and I liked the different verbiage painted and neon lighted throughout the shop with "But first, coffee" standing out. The staff was friendly and was willing to give us a free drink after they one of the drinks incorrectly. I'm an intermittent faster, so I usually start my day with a cup of coffee and I don't have my first meal until after 3pm, so drinking coffee is essential to starting my day. Whenever I buy java at a coffee shop, which isn't too often since my Keurig machine at home is my go to, I usually order a white chocolate mocha and I'll add flavoring such as hazelnut or peppermint for the holidays. As I perused the Alfred menu, I saw that they sold mocha, but they didn't have white chocolate. Since they didn't have white chocolate, I asked what type of coffee would go with their hazelnut flavoring and the friendly barista recommended that I order their hazelnut latte. It took a little longer for my coffee to be made, but when it came out, I opened the lid and enjoyed their floral design on top of the liquid. Immediately after I took my first sip, I should have asked for more pumps of hazelnut flavoring because it was nonexistent. Even after I continued drinking the coffee, I couldn't taste any hazelnut and thought it tasted more like strawberry than hazelnut. I still finished the coffee because any type of coffee jump starts my day. Wifey wanted to check out this skincare pop-up event and us husbands have to make small sacrifices like getting up early to wait for 4 hours for free goodies. Glad Alfred Coffee was closeby for me to have my morning coffee except I wish I had asked for more hazelnut flavoring.

    If I could give this zero I'd give it zero but I the best is 1. The matcha is straight fucking milk for seven bucks. If I wanted milk I would've bought a gallon for the same fucking price. You have to ask for each ingredient and that just seems shitty. Fuck I could've spent my good dollar somewhere else holy shit.

    This is my first time going to Alfred coffee and it was for the COSRX collab. I am now in Alfred coffee person and I will definitely be back and I've been back about a couple times already. The lemonades are good and I think the matcha is great. The iced coffee is awesome. My favorite.

    What I got (inside of a greasy bacon burrito-almost non existent egg. What was there was hard and rubbery)
    Michelle S.

    TLDR: Pro tip: Skip the burritos and stick with coffee and pastries The good: The chocolate chip cookie was quite possibly the best one I've ever had. Was not able to take pics - we inhaled it. Drinks were also fantastic . The bad: The $15 bacon burrito on the other hand was inedible-with just a smattering of almost non existent hard rubbery egg , hidden in greasy sludge of bacon bits, potato and cheese.. Pics included of the bait and switch. I'm not a complainer but given we spent almost $100 on three burritos, 2 cookies and 3 coffee drinks, the inedible slop thrown in a tortilla they serve feels particularly egregious.

    Matcha lavender latte with cloud foam
    Amber C.

    Honey... this is my new favorite place. The lavender syrup is made from scratch and it tastes like it. I was able to taste the syrup by itself and it was giving homemade goodness. I can literally make matcha at home and I do but when I want to treat myself I come here because this place does it better than I ever could. There's a lot of milk options too, so I got coconut milk. I also got coconut cloud foam. It's places like this that make LA a food and drink paradise.

    What type of milks do you guys offer?

    Hi Mina! We offer whole, nonfat, and 2% as well as non dairy options of oat and almond.

    Did The Alley Boba place steal The Alfred Trademark logo? They both look oddly the same.

    No stealing going on here - that is our Alfred Tea Room! For all your boba and pink drink needs :)

    Do they have unsweetened oat milk?

    Yea

    Do they offer unsweetened almond milk?

    Yes they absolutely do!

This place is so cute that I've driven by it a million times thinking it was a fancy restaurant - not a cute hidden gem coffee shop! This particular shop is incredibly popular and always full but if you're lucky you'll get a seat in their adorable little outdoor area. They have some belly up counter style seats along the sidewalk and also a side garden with a few tables & chairs, plus some cute cushions on the steps for ground seating. Once again, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics at a Verve location. They really seem to focus on rustic wood vibes inside and incorporating nature in a fun way. I always love their flash nitro cold brew here. It's so smooth and refreshing! I also tried their matcha and loved it. Plus their chocolate chip sea salt cookie was money. I'm sure I'll be back to Verve in WeHo! Really enjoyed it yesterday.

The overall cafe is pretty small but it's a got a cool aesthetic. Has a nice seating area around the outside with shade. Do expect to wait in line and parking can be a challenge as most spots in the area are usually taken as it's street parking. Went on a Saturday afternoon and waited about 25 minutes. I don't think I would wait anymore than that for this place but it's worth checking out. The staff are very kind too.

Located at…read morethe busy intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Fairfax in West Hollywood; you won't be disappointed. It's a small space with a few tables inside with multiple large sliding glass doors that open onto the intersection on one side and a courtyard on the other side. It gives the place a nice urban feel with plenty of foot traffic outside and people watching. You order from one of the two kiosks outside of the kitchen. You select from the menu, make your payment, and assigned a number to notify you when your order is ready. They send messages to you via text. I was with a friend mid-afternoon on a Saturday. There was just a couple of people inside when we arrived. The evenings are usually busier with several people inside and on the outdoor courtyard which has a few tables. We both ordered cheesecake and we loved them. Very fresh, flavorful, and creamy in texture. I had the Oreo Cheesecake and my friend had the Mocha Cheesecake. My friend also had a Fusion Mocha Shake which he said tasted great with the right amount of mocha flavoring for his taste. We spoke to the owner/baker after we ate to compliment his desserts. I asked how business was and he said unfortunately slow. He mentioned how restaurants in general were having a hard time in the current uncertain economy. It has nothing to do with his products. The desserts and treats are great. If you can, give this spot a try. And the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the desserts. There's a promotion for new customers. Whatever amount you spend on your first visit, you earn that amount in credits towards your next purchase. It's all automated through your phone number. Open everyday until midnight. There are complimentary board games to play while dining. Limited parking in the plaza or street parking. It's great to have a quality dessert café in my neighborhood.

It's a petit venue with comfy couch seating, chairs and cute table that you can connect. We did that since there were about 7 of us. You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!
