    Lavender matcha
    Kim T.

    I was debating between a coffee and matcha when I looked at their menu beforehand. Once I saw that they had a lavender matcha, I knew I had to try it. I really liked the lavender they used but found it to be overpowering to the matcha. I was able to try my friend's coffee and I definitely enjoyed that more. I would definitely come back but maybe for the coffee!

    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.

    Famous Vanilla Latte

    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.

    Love Alfred!! Line was out the door but Christopher was amazing. Shoutout Shadi for always being so helpful, sweet, and giving the best recs!!

    Came here on a whim because we wanted to check out Kith. Super cute shopping area. But this place was over hyped. Disgusting coffee. I literally threw mine away because I couldnt enjoy it. Tasted like it was watered down. Not. Worth. It. LOL. It did not taste good despite it being stirred. The photo- is just a photo because I took the photo before I drank it :) (The camera drinks first.)

    Famous vanilla latte, lavender latte iced, and lavender syrup.

    Open today on Easter! Felt very welcomed walking into Alfred's. I ordered the lavender latte iced and my son had the famous vanilla latte. I also purchased a bottle of the lavender syrup to take home $12.50. Mine had a really nice, relaxing flavor. My son really enjoyed his vanilla latte. Plenty of outdoor seating, with covered umbrellas.

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.

I wasn't even aware they closed at 1:00 PM, but regardless, closing the doors before the posted time is unacceptable. There were at least 3-4 other cars and multiple people standing outside, clearly hoping they would still be let in. People drive 10-20 minutes to come here, only to find the store closed early. I'm not local, but I've visited this location a few times when I've been in the area. The local customers standing there were visibly disappointed. This is a very effective way to lose customers. The real issue is not just the hours -- it's the lack of care. Closing at 12:57 and then, when questioned, telling customers it was already 1:00 PM feels dishonest and dismissive. The employee's name was something like Manuel Arbitara, as far as I can remember. I would encourage the owners to review the camera footage and properly train their staff on customer service and professionalism. A secondary issue is the store hours themselves. Closing at 1:00 PM on weekdays may make sense if your customer base starts their day early, but weekend mornings are different -- people tend to get out later. Closing that early on weekends seems out of touch with customer behavior. And finally, the lack of alternatives in the area may be part of the problem. Competition tends to improve service. A good coffee shop nearby might encourage a more customer-focused attitude. We need a Verve Coffee in the area to show how it's done.

I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries. Nothing to write home about and I would probably not order it again. The same is said about the chicken and waffles someone ordered.
