    Barista who ignored me and could not be bothered to say, "I'll be right with you."
    Dena G.

    This is my final visit to Alfred. The stars just keep dropping. Today, I was told that Alfred does not carry whipped cream. I called three different Alfreds, and indeed, they do not carry whipped cream. I was also told to use Five Guys for the restroom because there is no customer restroom. I called three different Alfreds, and indeed, no customer restroom. That's a whole lot of contempt for your customers. I ordered a hot chocolate, and it was barely chocolatey. I took it back in and asked if they could please make it more chocolatey. The barista looked at me and said, "What do you mean? Do you want more mocha in it?" I said, "Whatever you use to make your hot chocolate chocolatey, please put in more." She looked completely baffled, and a different barista took over and remade the drink. I know that Alfred has a huge following, but for me, this is a one star establishment. In addition, they have been out of pastries on all three of my visits. I was told by the barista that they always run out by noon. Management should probably make sure to order more, so they don't run out by noon. I'm very grateful to Alfred. The majority of my Yelp reviews are five or four stars. It's so rare that I write a one star review, so thanks, Alfred, for giving me the opportunity. Signing off and never to return.

    Cold brew

    I've been coming here for years and today had a sub par experience that I felt compelled to share as I've spend a lot of money here and love the coffee, but the service was horrible today. I walked up to the counter and the barista looked at me with deadpan eyes saying nothing. Not even a "Hi. How are you. What can I get you?" I ordered cold brew with some oat milk and the drink was 80% oat milk. No coffee at all in it. Really upsetting that the drink and service combined were not good as the coffee isn't cheap and spending $7 for oat milk should be illegal. I drank about 2 inches worth and walked back and asked for cold brew and didn't get any sort of apology or them asking to give me a fresh drink. She asked me if I wanted more ice. Why would I want more ice when I'm telling you the COFFEE I ordered had no coffee?! 0/10. :( expected more from Alfred's employees.

    Some of the best coffee in the city. Their cloud cream is to die for. I'll keep coming back forever.

    Love Alfred Coffee and so happy we found this Alfred Coffee location on Ventura Blvd. This specific location has more tables and chairs for seating both inside the shop as well as outside. They have plenty of tables and chairs outside on the patio. Customer service at this location is also great. The staff is very friendly and provides excellent customer service. That's what we appreciate about Alfred Coffee is that they are consistent with providing both delicious coffee drinks as well as excellent customer service. We ordered The World Famous Vanilla Latte Iced and some pastries and burritos for pick up on a late afternoon. As usual, Alfred Coffee did not disappoint. Thank you Alfred Coffee.

    What an amazing stuff runs this location! Friendly, positive, helpful and welcoming every single time!!! No matter how busy they are, they never miss a beat! Place is spotless and coffee is excellent! Blueberry scone has a special place in my heart! Thank you so much cold water team for making one of my visits special

    Came here to get a latte after a vigorous morning workout! I placed the order on the app and it was ready when I arrived! I lucked out and found a spot in front on Ventura Blvd at a meter. The cafe was really cute and was nearly empty when I arrived with open seating both inside and outside. It was bright and clean and felt cozy. The service seemed friendly as well and the drinks were well organized so I found it right away. They did a great job of labeling it! I ordered the lavender latte with macadamia milk and it was very rich and creamy! I loved the lavender flavor and it had a pure herbal taste and was just the right amount of sweet. I felt uplifted and energized after drinking it. I appreciated that they put the stoppers in as it kept it from spilling in my car. It was great value for the money!

    Love this place!!!! I got a matcha but completely forgot I wanted the sea salt foam one and the employee kindly added it free of charge!! It definitely tastes better with the foam on top rather than without. Also their vanilla latte is genuinely the greatest latte I've ever had. Super creamy and fresh flavor! The inside is really nice and sleek as well!

    Matcha latte
    Sophia F.

    Taste was amazing. The matcha latte from Alfred was perfectly balanced٫ smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. Definitely worth trying.

    Coffee is good when they get the order correct. I would say that is a little over half the time.

They use Onyx (from what i noticed), and the sound of the milk being steamed sounded silky (-: ! I think saw they used a bottomless portafilter ? Might have mis-seen. But for those unfamiliar, bottomless doesn't divide your shots into two physical shots. so it looks like "one" shot. but it would be 2 shots if it had that attachment. Shots are dialed by weight, so your coffee will be consistent! The layout of the cafe is nice: entry/line formation moves in a counter clockwise motion. Allows customers to enter space and wait in line while leaving space for people to exit/ wait to pick up their drink. First come, first serve for pastries - expect this for freshness purposes. Drink and their components are measured for consistency and quality control. Wait is subjective in relation to volume at the time which you go. Came in at about 1:30 PM on a Sunday (today was 8/16). Curated menu for their specialty drinks that aligns with their identity. Standard menu for espresso based beverages. Great selection for their Single Origin menu. Roasters they use align with those they highlight on their shelves for retail as a multi-roaster cafe. Ordered a Columbia from Hydrangea - enjoyed thoroughly! When it was still quite hot you get the heavy aroma and flavor of the pastry notes in the coffee. Then more tea-like once it cools down more. Coldbrew in the Woodman did not feel like your typical bold-in-flavor base. Which I think works for the inclusions in the beverage. Not your typical/second wave coffee shop. It's cool to see shops want to bridge that gap between fun drinks and specialty coffee! Kudos to Lynx!

    Tried Lynx Coffee this past weekend and got the Magnolia with oat milk…read more The coffee itself was decent, and the cold foam was honestly really good, I'd give the drink itself a 3/5 on taste alone. But the price for the size just isn't worth it. It came out to $10 per drink after tax, making it one of the most expensive coffees on Ventura Boulevard. Worth noting, their matcha powder is actually sourced from Kettl. We've been to the actual Kettl cafe in East Hollywood and their matcha lattes were cheaper than what Lynx is charging here, even using the same matcha. That says a lot about the markup. You can drive down to Rok Cafe, Yala Cafe, or plenty of other cafes on the same block and get a comparable, if not better, coffee for a significantly better price. On top of that, the cup was about 90% ice, so the drink gets watered down fast, even before you're done with it. Overall just not happy with the value here. 2/5. If this review helped, a thumbs up is always appreciated

I understand that cafés can be comfortable places to work, but in such a small space, it would be helpful if Saint placed some limits on laptop use during busy meal hours. Customers coming in to enjoy lunch or coffee together should also have a reasonable chance of finding a table. I truly hope they address this, because I would like to keep supporting this lovely neighborhood café.

I thought that they would also have some breakfast items like egg, bacon, sausage, cheese etc..they didn't. They only had plain bagel and Cream Cheese. My Latte tasted very good, on the flip side the Croissant wasn't as warm and fresh as I wanted for it to be. I asked the ladies behind the counter to warm it up again. The muffin was very fresh and delicious. Lauren handed me the Latte and my goodies. I don't want to dock a star for the Croissant, but it could have been a lot more fresh. Place was clean, with one gender neutral restroom, inside and outside seating, and the price was right for the 3 items that I got. $14.00 in total plus my tip of $2.00. Street parking only, woman owned, beautiful art work on their walls by famous artists, merchandise for sale, and nice music from the 80's playing overhead. Last but not least, under the businesses amenities page it says, no dogs allowed. It was dogs galore inside and outside. No offense to people who have dogs, but outside is ok, not inside..
