iced matcha latte
Jessica G.

I had a chance to visit on a Tuesday morning around 9am. The space was bigger than I expected! There were a few people working on their laptops and others hanging out when I stopped by. They had a Disney playlist playing which gave it a fun vibe. I placed my order through the app and it was ready by the time I arrived. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and it was so good! Parking can be a bit tricky since it's mostly metered parking in the area.

Large Alfred location in Westwood village. I've been here a few times and the girl who takes my order is always super sweet. Your order can take a bit since they get pretty busy, but there is a good amount of seating in a nice and bright atmosphere, so it's a great spot to get some studying/work done. Street parking can be very difficult, but that's all of Westwood village.

i should've spotted a corporate slop coffee chain from a mile away and ran :/ alfred's is like... OKAY. nothing to rave about. it's there when you wanna feel superior over ur friends getting starbucks across the street. the price? ALOT LMFAO. my tiny drink (smallest size btw) cost TEN DOLLARS. this gives me a love/hate relationship with LA and their coffee scene because that is ridiculous. all because i asked for an extra shot of matcha... a DOLLAR. i'm from the IE and no drink costs more than 8 bucks with adjustments, which is still a lot but at least they're small businesses. i heard from my friend other Alfred's have much greener matches, because even with my extra shot it wasn't as potent. nonetheless, the peach syrup was absolutely delicious and not artificial at all.... BUT THERE WASNT ENOUGH. i had to ask for extra syrup when my friend's same order was initially sweeter. the coconut foam was yummy too, but it's just the lack of consistency and attention to detail that cannot justify the really STEEP price of this place. any other small-business would weigh out the matcha, syrups, make sure the price is reasonable (i think), and so forth. i don't think i'll be back to alfred's westwood location, but if the desire for fruity milk and the slightest bit of matcha flavor hits me, maybe another location would do... ACTUALLY NAH IM IN LOS ANGELES. Ktown is RIGHT THERE LMAO. bye yall see u at ROK instead :PPP

One of the largest Alfred locations I've ever been to... inside is super cute. Lots of tables to study/ hang out/ catch up, etc. Friendly staff. You get greeted right away with the warmest welcome. The selection here is pretty good, even though they did not have Nowhere Bakery brownies that I usually get in stock, but my drink was amazing and they did have the popcorn that I like. The iced vanilla oat lattes here are simply amazing!!!!! It's my go to order and it's so good!!! Inside was clean. Love the wallpaper, decor and overall aesthetic!

Cloud Espresso Cream & Ded Cool Matcha Latte
Mary A.

This is a really nice spot to study or catch up with someone. The inside is huge with plenty of seating. I parked in the garage, but there's also plenty of metered street parking around. I ordered the 12oz seasonal Ded Cool matcha latte and a 12oz Cloud Espresso Cream, and my total was about $15. In my opinion, it's a little pricey for the size, but the drinks actually tasted pretty good. Before mixing, the matcha had a really nice flavor, and after mixing, the blueberry lavender flavor blended really well with it. I also liked that it wasn't overly sweet even with the flavors. The Cloud Espresso Cream was also really good, and the cream top made it even better. Service was fast, the drinks were good, and the space is great if you want somewhere to sit for a while. I would come back if I'm in the area.

Strawberry Cloud Matcha
Maria N.

Huge Alfred's location! Spacious and cool to hang out or study in or even to work from. Great menu selection, efficient staff and clean restrooms.

ordered the espresso cola float, and the cold foam was absolutely amazing!! it sucks that it's only a seasonal menu item, but i love it! the service was quick and friendly, and the location is super spacious! love that they provide free wifi with lots of seating. super aesthetic place!

Derek N.

came here and got the strawberry Matcha along with the cloud Matcha. First thing to know was that the service is mean, the workers there are not friendly and it seems to be a reoccurring theme with the other reviews. we didn't even get asked what size we wanted for the cloud Macha and the person who took our order, was blatantly on her phone, which seemed quite disrespectful. The Matcha cloud was super salty and it tasted more of a creamy drink rather than Matcha itself. The strawberry Matcha was alright however, so I give it a 6.9 out of 10. for the service and cloud Matcha, I rate it a solid, 3 out of 10. the ambiance was chill, pretty small area and it was minimalistic and modern.

Great first time at Alfred's! Alfred's is located in Westwood village and from the front would seem like an unassuming shop. When you enter though, the coffee shop is lively and the decor lovely. I love the greenery on the walls and the decorations. There's also ample seating and the shop can be used for a great place to study or meet up with friends. I ordered the chai latte iced which tasted amazing. I appreciated how they had different milks to choose from which from the view, seems like the shop makes themselves. Next time I come, I plan on trying the strawberry matcha. Service was great and quick. The servers were kind and answered any questions I had about the menu. Will definitely be back!

Elo S.

This was my first time going to Alfred's. They have a variety of drinks to choose from and they have coffee beans to make at home. They have a selection of drinks/ juices by the door that you can pick. They have indoor seating area. When I visited it was busy people were sitting and some were standing waiting for their orders. I ordered a lavender latte, it was good. I really enjoyed my drink. Cashier was nice and helpful and he was patient with the customers. Not making them rush while ordering. Overall, it was a great experience. P.S it is kind of pricey compare to other coffee shops, but it's worth a try and going there. Parking can be a headache since there are a lot of stores.

Lavender latte
Kathy X.

This location is so cute, and it's a great place to get some work done, with super high ceilings and a good amount of seating. However, the coffee, at least my drink, was not that great. I asked the barista what's popular, and the lavender latte was mentioned, so I gave it a try. The lavender syrup is very artificial, and it ruined the coffee in my opinion.

Matcha with cloud foam Iced vanilla latte
Lynn W.

I went here with a friend to try the iced matcha latte and was not disappointed. The matcha was smooth and earthy and fairly priced. I like that they have three sizes to choose from. I personally got a small but could've definitely gone for a larger one. The cloud foam on top was 75 cents extra which is pretty good compared to the $1.00 or $1.25 extra charge I've seen at other coffee places. Also they don't charge extra for oat milk! The only thing that got me was that the drink came unsweetened, which wasn't made clear to me at the counter although I definitely should have asked. However the cloud foam was sweet enough to compensate. I love the cleanliness and design of the place, it looks like it would make for a great study place.

Fred T.

Cool coffee shot. Nice modern decor, and spotlessly clean. My iced American was perfectly prepared, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the line moved at a good pace. I only tried the coffee but they also have the expected small area of pastries and prepared foods etc. They have indoor and outdoor seating available

Girl & The Goat - Beet Salad

We have a long history with this restaurant, having been blown away by Stephanie Izard's flagship…read moreChicago location back in 2011. Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more. If you are looking to host a small group event with great vibes, stellar food, and top-tier service, I highly recommend giving them a look.

We came by Girl & The Goat early Friday evening and our only option was to sit at the bar, even…read morethough a full section of the restaurant was empty. The bar was crowded but had a fun atmosphere, as everyone was drinking and talking to each other. They felt a bit understaffed as it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered. We tried their "taking care of bee's knees" which was a gin and honey cocktail, and their seasonal special strawberry margarita. Bee's knees was tasty, it's slightly sweet with a curry after taste which was very interesting. I didn't like the strawberry margarita, it was just way too sweet for me. The glass was heavily salted and it tasted like boozy strawberry syrup, I wish it had more nuanced flavours or something to balance the sweetness. We ordered a few appetizers to split amongst us. Almost all of the food were incredible! Their dishes tend to have a great balance of salt, acid, fat and sweet. Chick pea fritters - This dish had amazing textures and flavour, and was very well balanced. The fried chick pea bites and noodles gave it a great crunch, the pomegranate seeds cut through the fat nicely with a pop of sweetness and the yogurt tied everything together perfectly. Sautéed green beans - This was my least favourite dish of the night. The flavour of the sauce was interesting and paired well with the green beans, but everything was just too greasy. You could see the layer of oil coating the green beans, then to add more cashews on top just made it really heavy. Wish there was some acid to cut through the grease. Naan & dips - I LOVE the carrot hummus. Their dips are incredibly tasty, not only are they super creamy and tasted great. They also add pomegranate seeds, fried quinoa and other toppings that gave it texture and depth of flavor. The naan itself was alright, it was pretty thin unlike traditional naan and didn't have a chewy texture. The fried garlic and green onion bits on top did make it better. Roasted Oysters - Highly recommend this dish! I am not normally a cooked oyster person, but this changed my mind. The oysters were super plump and umami since it was covered in bacon butter. It paired perfectly with the sauce, and the denser biscuit created a great vessel to soak up the fat. The bar top was definitely not enough room for all of our dishes so I would recommend making a reservation if you want a good dining experience.

Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg. Drinks 3.5 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and mocktails, specialty coffee/tea/matcha and juices. I had the Iced White Mocha, which was ok.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard.

The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Manuela is one of the finest restaurants I've been to in a while. Everything was exquisite from the…read moremoment my group arrived. We were a party of 6 for dinner. We started with two recommended "must haves" - biscuits and cornbread. For 6 people, you only need two servings of each. Beautifully displayed. The evenly, golden brown cornbread, topped with a healthy dollop of soft creamy butter, melted in your mouth. The biscuits were light and flaky - you can see the gently layers as if it were a French croissant. Since we all wanted either chicken, pork chop and steak, we ordered one of each which was plenty for the 6 of us to share. The half chicken was so tender and popped with juice. Same with the pork chop which is hard to cook without being dry and tough. I cannot speak for the steak but those that devoured it said it was cooked to perfection. We ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes to share - a chef that can turn vegetables into something so delectable that would make every taste bud in your mouth jump for joy, is heaven sent. Service was equally top-notch. The ambiance, with smooth music in the background and the perfect volume level where you all can have a comfortable conversation without trying to talk over loud noise. Lovely indoor or semi-outdoor dining seating. It was a memorable evening with fine cuisine & friends. Cheers to the chef and staff that made it magical.

I live right around the corner to Manuela and I would have to say it's my go to spot…read more You can just walk in and get a seat at the bar. The bartenders are chills and super accommodating. The ambiance is refreshing to see in Arts District. The food is great but you HAVE to get their biscuits and/or their cornbread.
