    Josue and Joseph are amazing! They always greet the customers by their name and are so friendly! The coffee is amazing and they are always making sure my coffee is right !

    The inside when you walk in

    Went on a Sunday morning at around 7am. Parking was easy at that time. Any later... good luck! Walked in and saw the nice open sitting area with free wifi! Went into the ordering area It was nice and inviting. The person that helped me was helpful and kind :). The other worker there was more engaging for conversation and that was nice :)! I got the "world famous vanilla latte", a blue berry muffin and a steak burrito. The coffee was quite delicious! The muffin was crisp and fresh. But the steak burrito... that was very tasty!!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk if it was worth 15$, but it was very good with the chapotle sauce!! If I can find parking in the future or if I'm in the area early... I'll definitely stop by again!!

    Steak burrito
    David D.

    Deserves negative stars. Ordered the supposed "wake and late" steak burrito. Surprise--it was nothing similar to wake and late. At best this burrito was awful. At worst, I am 99% sure, they used rancid meat in the burrito. If you, unfortunately, know the smell and taste of old/bad beef...that's what was inside this burrito. As I'm sitting here writing this review, I'm trying not to vomit the bit that I ate. Honestly, it's that bad. Beyond the rancid meat, the eggs were watery, potatoes were boiled + semi-cooked, and everything was covered in some sort of a cheese sauce with a nauseating smell/flavor. Masterpiece in sh*t. If this is an attempt to kill the downtown wake and late's reputation, congrats, keep doing what you're doing. Was hoping this would end the casual breakfast drought in Arts District. For now, the hunt continues. This is not it.

    Strawberry Matcha
    Gabriella A.

    I got the strawberry matcha and did half the strawberry sweetness and it was really good. The person who made my drink was super nice but the person who took my order was kind of rude. She didn't have a warm or friendly/approachable attitude...i felt kind of awkward because she didn't say hi or ask what I wanted so I kinda just started just ordering when I was ready. She reminded me of an npc lol, just standing there and staring. Inside is nice, there's a good amount of seating. It also was kind of pricey for the size of the drink but it is the arts district so it's pretty much expected. I paid $8 for a 12oz and also changed the milk to oat milk. Overall, would come again it was just the interaction that was a little off putting.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Drew C.

    I wish I had an endless stomach (and wallet) so I could try everything on the drink menu. Everything looks and sounds delicious, and I believe it, because I had the strawberry matcha latte and naturally got the largest size possible so I could enjoy it as long as possible. It was a perfect combination of flavors and sweetness that I just wish I could have an endless supply of.

    I came in later in the day and the pastries were already gone but I did try the special matcha! It was good but a tad sweet. My experience here was still great bc the staff was super friendly and helpful! I ended up purchasing a trio of their syrups and some matcha to bring back with me! When im back in the area, I will return to try the breakfast sandwiches which seem to sell out fast! Oh, and more matcha! Great spot on my matcha tour!

    Love this spot. I come here all the time and the drinks are always on point (the vanilla latte never misses). The vibe is chill and the staff is super friendly they actually remember you, which I appreciate. Shoutout to Jackie, Joseph, Zoie, Josue, and Sam they're always welcoming and make the place feel like a real neighborhood coffee shop. Great coffee, great people, easy recommendation.

    Cool built in bench with patio table for outside seating while enjoying your favorite beverage!

    Alfred is always the move when in LA! This time, I went for their Espresso Cloud Cream ... & let me tell you, it's not just a coffee ... it's an experience. Light, airy vanilla cream floating over smoothly decadent espresso, finished with a pinch of sea salt & a dusting of cocoa. It's the kind of drink that makes you pause & think, yep, this is why I come here. The new location? Super clean, minimal, & effortlessly cool -- the kind of space that feels calm but still has that signature Alfred buzz. & the customer service? Friendly, fast, & just the right amount of chill. No attitude -- just good vibes. Alfred has a way of turning a quick stop into a small moment for yourself. Whether you're catching up with a friend, on a midday work break, or just soaking up the LA energy... it always delivers. It's not hype. It's just consistently that good. CHEERS!

    Small Black coffee
    Andrea M.

    For $3.50 A regular black coffee it was yep You guessed it coffee. I must I do enjoy finding small coffee shops to avoid Starbucks. & ive been wanting to try this 1 but at the end of the day it's coffee.

    Coffee that actually tastes like coffee, what a novel idea! I was wandering through the Arts District and ducked into Alfred's. When I walked through the door I was surprised to smell coffee beans. I ordered the iced vanilla latte (the menu proudly calls it world famous), and my sister went for the matchaga )with oat milk) Mine was perfect, not too sweet so the espresso could shine through. The matchaga is a mix between a classic ceremonial Matcha and Chaga mushrooms and it was earthy and creamy. Solid coffee, and a good reminder that sometimes classics are "world famous" for a reason.

    Yummy gluten-free and vegan pastries

    Hello!!! This coffee hit the spot! I enjoyed the iced chagaccino 12oz and a walnut chocolate chip cookie!! Warmed please!!! They open at 7am and that's the time my friend and I walked in!! The only thing I would improve is letting us know when our food was ready! We got the call for our drinks faster than our food because we just didn't hear our names being called. Other then that I'll be back

    I wanna give a shoutout to the staff, since this location has opened they have been the greatest bunch of baristas in the arts district.

    A place to relax and recharge.. my fav combo. A Bagel and salted maple latte. The staff? Top 2 but Not 2.

    Iced vanilla latte is top tier
    Court S.

    I did not expect to enjoy the ice vanilla latte as much as I did! There a subtle sweet cream, vanilla bean that complements the coffee perfectly. The employees are very sweet & friendly. I absolutely love the atmosphere, as there are plenty of available tables in & outdoors. No shade, but I'm tickled Alfred has replaced the Pie Hole.

    Protein coffee with lavender is perfect. Can't have wasted calories. Easy way to get in a good coffee and help daily protein.

    My new favorite spot for decadent matcha and hojicha drinks!…read more The cream top on the hojicha einspanner was so creamy and thick, and it was also the perfect level of sweetness. The strawberry matcha einspanner was also yummy and had a great presentation The space is pretty small but there are a few seats available. The line was around 20 minutes long on a Saturday afternoon. Like most spots in ktown, the parking lot is limited and you'll likely need to find street parking, but it is definitely worth the hype!

    This was our last stop of our mini cafe tour when leaving LA and headed back home. We came…read moreshortly after opening, so there was plenty of parking and it wasn't crazy crowded yet. Upon entering the place is clean, sleek, and modern. We were greeted right away. I already knew I was leaving with 2 drinks for the drive back home. I ordered: 1. Cold brew vanilla: Delicious, I love that tou can see the vanilla cream on top. This was definitely what I needed to wake me up. 2. Matcha einspener: I tasted this and immediately loved it when leaving the store. I saved it for last. It was so light and refreshing. I could easily drink it all day if they had a bigger size lol. I was hoping to try the seasonal mango cream matcha, but sadly it was gone. 3. Pastries: I wanted to try the sampler but I don't thinking they had it yet. I tried one of the cinnamon pastries. It was soft and very cinnamony. Overall, it was a great experience and I'll be back soon.

    What an absolute treat in the Japan Town area! Not too far from the center, just a short walk away…read moreis Kokoro No Coffee- a pop-up coffee shop at Aloha Cafe. I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves! There is truly nothing like a great business ran by a great person and you can tell there's so much intention put into this concept. Highly, highly recommend and I could not sing praises more!

    Got there at 9am and ordered drinks. Friendly service and delicious coffee beans. Great pop up…read morespot to support located at Aloha Cafe in little Tokyo! I could see some outdoor sitting option to wait or enjoy coffee being helpful, yet currently it is only take out with paper and plastic cups available.
