    Everyone always says Alfred Coffee has some of the best drinks in town! And they aren't wrong. It's one of those coffee shops that I can go to different locations and the drinks are always solid. I popped into the Malibu location this morning for an Iced Matcha Pumpkin Spice Latte. Didn't know that was a thing? It so is and it is so delicious. Absolutely loved it! This location is great because it has a nice big parking lot around a lot of stuff. It was quite busy for a weekday 7:30am, as well. I used the app to pre-order and my drink was ready right on time. I think my only critique was I didn't receive any greeting when I entered the shop, which is fine, but when I went up to grab my drink & thank the team - no one acknowledged me. Bizzare to not respond to someone saying thank you, but...it was early? haha Either way, I've been to this Alfred Coffee before and I will surely be back to it again!

    A cute little coffee shop at this outdoor shopping mall. They have merch like most coffee stores these days. We tried matcha oat milk with honey, cold brew with double shot of espresso. Both were delicious and strong enough. Service was very friendly and warm!

    This was probably one of the best coffees I have had in a long time, and I wish we had it on the east coast. The cloud coffee was great, it had a really sweet and creamy foam on top.

    Came in on Jan 4th at around 10 am and the 2 girls working were so rude, me and my cousins came in giving Alfred's a try for the first time. So we were excited since we had heard good things, when we walked in a girl with a red striped beanie came to the register to take our order without saying anything we let her know that we were still looking at the menu and just said okay rolled her eyes and walked away the other girl ended up talking our order who also seemed miserable to be at work! We just ordered and waited for our drinks, after this experience I won't be coming back. Horrible service, I never write reviews but I was so disappointed. I won't be coming back since the staff was so unwelcoming!

    Tried their famous vanilla iced latte! Nothing out of the ordinary but good and refreshing. Coffee shop is in a nice outdoor shop so really cool to grab coffee and sit down or hang out.

    Came here first thing in the a.m. as I wanted something hot to offset the chilly weather this close to the beach. . I had been to their other location in Brentwood and this one is smaller outside, bigger inside. There are some small metal frame tables outside on the patio; otherwise it's clean and well lit inside the café. . They have a merchandise wall complete with tea blends, vanilla syrup and a rechargeable whisk. Service was steady. It picked up in foot traffic the second I stepped in there right around 7:30am. . My work gives me free croissants for breakfast so I got an 8 ounce hot chocolate with macadamia milk to supplement it. They kept me warm, but I wish it was sweeter. Should've got a sweetener. What I really like about this place is that they don't charge extra for alternative milk. The lid for my hot chocolate was faulty though, it spilled several times all over my uniform so I took it off to finish the drink before work. . It's a great local coffee shop. Perfect for a day start in Malibu.

The view of the ocean is nice, the breeze is cooling, and there's no yucky fishy smell you might think you'd smell at the pier. Service: the servers were great, but the girl who checked us in wasn't very friendly. My boyfriend and I got there and she told us to wait for a table to open up then she would seat us; however, we looked and saw multiple tables open and she even sat another party who came after us. We had to ask another server if we could be seated and they seated us shortly after. Vibes: you sit pretty close to other parties and there are a lot of tables in the area. Volume level is fairly loud because of all the people, but it's not an overwhelming loud. Gets busy around brunch/lunch time. On the cuff of being a nicer place to eat in terms of vibes, but because it is near the beach it does feel more chill. Food: I had the build your own fish taco and the Swedish mini pancakes. For the price that I paid, neither was worth it. The fish was kind of dry and flavorless and the best thing about that dish were the veggies. The mini pancakes got mushy quick, so these definitely should be eaten sooner rather than later. The syrup and fruits atop the pancakes were extremely sweet and the dish overall left my stomach feeling heavy. Unfortunately this place is an overpriced tourist trap.

This week we hit our limit, and are thinking of canceling our membership. The waiters act as though you should be serving them and it usually takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes for someone to arrive at your table. Meals are drawn out due to the lack of service. The front desk hostess' could not be more unpleasant, dismissive, and rude. Also, the food is simply OK, nothing special, and priced exceptionally high for what it is. In terms of ambiance, the furniture is stained, mildewy, and terribly kept. The large dining room remains empty throughout the day since they don't allow computers, and everyone is crammed into a small area where "computers are allowed". Also the employees take up one of the best (more private) tables in the house with their computers and coffee (stunned by this). I spoke to a once prominent member who also canceled his membership for these same reasons. It's truly so sad to see a place with such potential, lack such basic needs.

Today, it was Pura Vida in Malibu, located in the same commercial plaza as Madhappy / Pantry, Frankies Bikinis, Be Kind Studios (pilates), and a soon-to-be Wally's. I really liked Pura Vida because of it's "health and wellness" angle. In re-reviewing the menus here, I noticed several items that were over 1,000 calories - not quite as health-conscious as I remember, but I knew it had to be just as delicious. Thankfully, I was right. I had the Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl which comes with a generous helping of avocado, cucumber, arugula, green onions / scallions, radish, spicy mayo, cilantro rice, and raw tuna. For about $35 with tax and tip, this was a rather hearty lunch that two people could easily share. I didn't mix it, as I prefer to eat ingredients separately, and received a soy ginger sauce on the side to complement the flavors. My friend opted for the Spicy Salmon Wrap, made with a specifically gluten-free wrap. That option comes with cooked salmon (which she found to be dry), edamame, carrots, avocado, and cilantro rice - as well as a side of fruit and the same soy ginger dressing/sauce I had. She wasn't wow'ed by the flavor, which may be because of the wrap, or the gluten-free nature of the preparation, or the salmon itself. The exterior patio seating is new, fun, and reminds me a bit of the La La Land coffee shop in Calabasas. Gorgeous place to have brunch or lunch outdoors and soak in some Malibu overcast. Service was efficient, personable, and polite. Plenty of staff to handle the crowd on a Saturday afternoon. Food came out quickly and tables were bussed in a timely manner. Free parking is available in the back lot, or else in the underground garage. There's also valet parking for $8 (all-day) toward the front.
