Cafe is super friendly and the drinks always taste amazing definitely check them out if you're in the area!

Stopped by Alfred Coffee Highland Park and had a pretty solid experience. We ordered the vanilla latte and strawberry matcha--both were delicious and definitely hit the spot. Service was good, and the space itself is nice and laid-back. There's a shared parking lot, which helps, plus street parking if needed. We went early so it was pretty empty, which made it even more enjoyable. Would come back for the drinks! read more

I stopped by this morning for my daily coffee, and the customer service was honestly awful. No greeting when I walked in, no friendliness at all. I told the cashier my order, and she just looked at me with no response. After I paid, she walked away--no receipt, no explanation, nothing. The coffee itself was fine, but the staff seemed completely uninterested and unenthusiastic. I don't know if it's this specific location or the area, but it's a huge contrast from other Alfred locations where service is usually great. Definitely won't be returning. read more

On a sleepy Sunday morning, our eyelids woke up to the World Famous Vanilla Lattes from Alfred Coffee. We ordered one hot & one iced. Both were superb. Service was also quick with our friendly, neighborhood baristas. Inside, it was festively decorated for the season. And the sun poured in through the front windows that greet Highland Park's heartbeat, better known as Figueroa Street. And it had that NYC vibe that we coffee snobs love. Now I'm not sure what the qualifications would be to label a latte as "world famous" but I suppose a few blokes in the UK gave it a thumbs up, a Parisian's pinkie got aroused, while someone in the Middle East raised their hands in admiration on Instagram to this robust espresso drip. However, I was informed by the Alfred staff that this title comes from its "bar-raising, innovative recipe." Ok, fine, whatever. It's true that ever since its Melrose coffee shop brewed the first, fresh batch in 2013, Alfred has gained meme-worthy status on TikTok. Apparently, it's Alfred's World Famous Vanilla Syrup that gets all the attention. Well, I'll drink to that. And I'll be back for more of this World Famous cup of joe. read more

There is no shortage of hipster coffee places in Highland Park. I'm actually surprised this place doesn't have a vinyl record collection and a built-in barbershop/winery/thrift store to match the other coffee places nearby! Why do I keep returning to this location? Great baked items, natural light, and WIFI. Surprised that Civil Coffee, another great vibe/hang, has no WIFI, and I ain't using my hotspot to work! The Matcha Croissant was fabulous, and I enjoyed the lavender Madeline, if you are into the perfumey taste like I am! I wouldn't get their Bagel and cream cheese, because they made it more of a dessert bagel, and I'm more of a traditional bagel purist. You can people-watch on Figueroa while you drink and work. read more

Stopped in for an iced matcha latte and it did not disappoint. I personally love a strong matcha flavor when I sip so it delivered to my standards! It seems like the perfect place to sit down and study, so might be back! Baristas were friendly, only issue was restroom was out of service so I had to cut my time short. read more

Amazing ambiance, i came on a Tuesday evening and hardly anyone was occupying the seating area. The barista was so friendly and helpful when I was asking for recommendations. I ended up ordering the peaches n' cream iced matcha with oat milk and it was so good, the matcha taste isn't very prominent but it was still pretty good. I also got a blueberry scone which was amazing, great size and density for the price. I will say it's a bit more on the pricey side but totally worth in my opinion. baristas have great music taste as well, lots of Lauryn Hill and neo-soul/r&b being played over the speakers. read more

Solid yummy lattes. We got the cloud cream latte (plant based version) and a peaches n cream matcha latte. The matcha latte was refreshing. The coffee latte was a great balanced latte, super creamy. The service was great, the staff was kind especially considering we went in right before closing. There was plenty of seating and beautiful interior, perfect place to study or catch up with a friend. read more

4.5 stars I discovered Alfred about a year ago and was excited when I found out they opened in my hood. Alfred is known for its exceptional brews, vibrant atmosphere, and engaging design aesthetic. I must say, their new location in HLP checks all the boxes. This place is retro chic! I love the décor. The menu is printed on glass in white lettering, so it was difficult for me to read. Tessa assisted me with my order. She was cheerful and friendly. I got a Sugar Free Vanilla Latte with almond milk. They make their own Vanilla Bean syrup, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My latte was the perfect Sunday morning pick me up. The foam was creamy, and the brew was nicely balanced with a hint of vanilla. They also have vegan pastries, breakfast burritos, & bagels with vegan smears too. I'm so happy to have Alfred in the area! *Small parking lot or street parking. read more

Please. Just stick with coffee. Don't even serve your matcha drink please It literally tasted like milk only.... And the fact that matcha cans were being sold.. I'm so so disappointed, I rarely even give one star but had to toss my drink along with how much I paid for that. read more

My first stop on the "Highland Park Coffee Passport". My family and I came for a quick easy bite and ordered: plain latte, cloud latte, plain bagel, sweet onion bagel and egg+cheese breakfast burrito by Wake and Late. The coffee was good, the cloud cream was a lot so I feel like I couldn't really tell what their espresso was like but overall good drink, not too sweet. More on the dessert end of drinks for me. I love their bagels! Ball shaped bagels that have a crispy top and the softest inside. The sweet onion bagel + scallion cream cheese is my favorite combo. Their cream cheese is a bit gritty but not sure from what? Don't get the breakfast burritos! Not a bad review on Alfred's part since it's from a different shop (wake and late). Small overpriced burritos that overall did not taste good. Overcooked eggs and no cheese in the "egg+cheese"??? The interior is spacious but very cold (today) since there are large open windows facing the street. There is a shared parking lot which had no spots so paid street parking is best. read more

I gave them another shot meeting up with some friends to do work. The customer service was better but the drinks were still mediocre. Then I ordered a bacon breakfast buritto... If you've ever had breakfast hot pockets, it tasted exactly like that. I don't hate those, but I'm also not paying over $15 for them either. And unlike Alfred's, I'm also heating them enough that the center isn't cold. It's an okay place to do work, but that's the only reason I'd consider coming back again. read more

LA weather is perfect for this place. My man got a matchaga and matcha croissant. Clearly this dude is into matcha and i didn't think this place would do it right (being a coffee place not an Asian tea joint) but wow i was impressed with specialty drink and baked product (which was sourced somewhere but they clearly chose a solid place). Has a nice old-time feel but clearly isn't old and decrepit. Nice ambiance to chill or talk to companion. read more

Um what happened to the wake and late burritos? What happened to the tots??? That's what made them worth $$$. Today I spent over $75 on two burritos, three pastries, two bagels, and two drinks. The steak burrito was hella chewy and cold and the potatoes were hard. Did they forget to heat it up??? Also I'm still mad the tots are gone. The og wake and late has crispy tots inside and that's what made it so good. I won't be paying $17-18 for a normal burrito. read more

Expensive, mid quality, bad customer service. Tried it once, it was not good, won't come back. I think that bad costumer service started my experience. I was already not okay with the cost and the service just sealed my thoughts. Got a signature matcha, it was a little too watery for me. The vibes are pretty cool, I went on a Sunday morning, there was plenty of parking. read more

I probably should've acknowledged the low ratings here and not come. It might just be me, but I do not like tasting salt in my matcha. There were big pieces of salt in my cloud matcha and most of the drink was the cloud foam. It was so expensive and not worth the price AT ALL. There was hardly any matcha, mostly foam, and salty. My personal experience also included having to be in downtown where there are hardly any public restrooms and this one was out of service. I think they should've offered their employee restroom or recommended where to go especially since I was a paying customer. Would not go back here. read more

I've been wanting to try this place as it continues to come up when I'm in a mood for Matcha ( which is always). 10/10 for vibes. The coffee shop itself is a cute little place with awesome decor. Plenty of tables to sit at including a bar area and window seating. It's centrally located to where Figueroa's little shopping area starts so very easy to grab a coffee or bite to have while shopping. 5/10 parking situation.... They share a lot with other business but it's pretty small. You can always look for street parking or the metered parking lots they have in the back. I got lucky today and there was 1 spot available. 7/10- the service was okay. Not that she wasn't nice but she was very straight forward just "tell me what you want to order vibes" I do gotta say when I asked for her preference she did answer my question. Strawberry Matcha 10/10 loved the housemade strawberry syrup. Gives it that different and refreshing touch. read more

Ahh a bunch of people mad at coffee prices! They should maybe move to Fresno or Bakersfield! I come here twice a week on my days off to enjoy a maple latte and a drip coffee, excellent service, great coffee from a reputable coffee company (not a franchise). Any who if you want bad service just go down the street to Civil, if you want you want to wait in line in the hot sun go to Kumquat! Only thing that sucks is the parking, too many people going to little Caesar's which is next door. read more

I should have read the reviews first. It's 52 degrees and I have on a sweater and a hoodie. I thought I would write at a coffee shop this morning and hadn't been to my neighborhood Alfred (I used to occasionally go to the one in Weho). They have large front windows (open to loud, smelly Figueroa -- this isn't Melrose Place) that were open, letting in the cold and noise. I still thought "maybe it will be warm enough." I ordered a medium latte for $6.50 and the ipad automatically tipped $1 so $7.50. I sit down but I'm cold. I ask for my coffee to go. Coffee comes out and I had to ask "Is this a medium?" because I honestly don't know how it could be any smaller. How do they even have a small size when the $7.50 medium IS a small? I left. Will never return. read more

Wish this place was better. The coffee and the ambience are pretty good. The service is mediocre. Staff made me half a caffeinated latte when I asked for decaf (twice) and wouldn't even make a new drink! The prices are high. Everything you order is in disposable packaging. A high priced coffee in a to go cup? read more

The interior of the shop is cute and spacious. It has its own parking lot next to the shop although it's hard to find parking in it because the employees of that plaza park there as well - witnessed a couple park and clock in for work for a store in the plaza. The employee taking my order was cordial, I took a seat by the coffee bar and watched the baristas, which is what turned me off. I saw the barista who made all the drinks at the time I was there, just level off the excess coffee grounds on the portafilter using her BARE HANDS, then place it in the espresso machine! The coffee tamper was right on top of the machine but NOPE, she used her hands to level the portafilter... Then this barista went about making all the other drinks... GROSS... Obviously this "barista" is not serious about coffee because she chose to use her hands over the coffee tamper??! Thankfully I ordered a matcha but wow. So disgusted. Probably never coming back. read more
