Love Alfred Coffee on Melrose Place! Such a great spot to grab an iced tea and enjoy a little pick-me-up. The atmosphere makes it a favorite stop in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!
I've been here before and it's always good. I got a seasonal espresso cola float and my friend got a lavender latte. Both were very good.
You're kidding. I'm rlly not in the mood for people to be making their matcha like this today. Tastes like literal salty milk. Don't get me wrong, I normally LOVE a salted cream top but wtf is going on. You don't taste even a lick of matcha. You taste milk & salty cream. 0/10. No returning here. Sorry. Also no outlets to charge while studying? what kind of coffee shop.........
I have seen the name Alfred coffee a few times when I was in the LA area. I decided to finally give it a try. I ordered the World famous vanilla latte with only 2 pumps of vanilla and oat milk. It was delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. They also sell pastries and other types of drinks there as well as merchandise for matcha making. There are metered parking on the street. Service was great. Ambiance was a bit dark.
This location has the absolute best coffee. In America, coming from a cafe owner in Paris, Italian, the equality of the coffee being expressive and my attention to detail. In all of their crafted drinks because exceptionally exquisite and extremely friendly
The espresso with the cloud foam is a must try! Such yummy coffees with a great breaky menu.
Love the clean flavors and beautiful presentation Nice that this location also does a lot of collaborations with pop-ups The staff is great and keeps things rolling This location always has a yeastie boys bagel truck out front too
I enjoyed this Alfred Coffee shop location on Melrose Place. This is the original location and first of many locations in LA. The shop is multi-level, trendy, and comfortable. The lighting sets a comfortable mood with the dark walls and abstract art. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a restroom for customers. The customer service was very good. They offer the standard array of conventional coffees including iced, cold brew, hot, and seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice. On multiple visits I tried the iced coffee and was impressed. There's also a menu of sweet and savory baked goods, bagels, yogurt, sandwiches, and such. Street parking is available and is the reason I chose this location over others. A couple visits is enough for me to say I'll visit again when in the area.
I don't know how to feel about this honestly... The coffee had good quality but it was way too overpriced and the sandwiches were fine but still it's too much for not a lot. We paid $60 for 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches, we could've just went to a fancy restaurant or something. That was my only concern but the place was really nice and aesthetically appealing. There was nice space to sit and take pictures! The staff were nice and they treated us well which is what mattered to be honest.
The things that husbands do for their wives. Wifey wanted to check out this Los Angeles Korean skincare pop-up event because the first 100 in line get a bag with products worth $200. We hopped in line just before 6am for an event that starts at 10am. Praise God we made that 100 people milestone, but for getting in line before the sun comes up, I had to grab a cup of joe to give me the energy to last for the next 4 hours. Alfred Coffee was a short jaunt from where we were waiting in line and all was right again. The shop seemed like a cool place to hang out and the staff provided friendly customer service, but the coffee I ordered wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. Alfred Coffee is a short drive from Beverly Hills and can be found on the street Melrose Place and perpendicular to Croft Avenue, which reminded me of that 90s tv show with the same name that aired after Beverly Hills 90210. The coffee shop shares the same building as Kate Somerville and Lashify. It is next to Forte Forte, across the street from Maria Tash and Waterworks, and it's diagonally across the street from Balmain Paris. There is street and meter parking, but drive through adjoining neighborhoods to find free parking. I visited on Sunday and I saw a bunch of white pop-up tents being set up for a Farmer's Market. As I entered the vine covered entrance to Alfred, I had to walk through their first floor sitting area and then descend a flight of stairs to get to their order counter. Across from the order counter, there is a round table for seating, there is ledge top and a large wooden picnic bench table on the first floor for more seating, and there is covered outdoor seating. I liked the eclectic decor with the floral wallpaper, distressed wooden flooring, tiled wall, perched bullhorns hung above the lime fireplace, and I liked the different verbiage painted and neon lighted throughout the shop with "But first, coffee" standing out. The staff was friendly and was willing to give us a free drink after they one of the drinks incorrectly. I'm an intermittent faster, so I usually start my day with a cup of coffee and I don't have my first meal until after 3pm, so drinking coffee is essential to starting my day. Whenever I buy java at a coffee shop, which isn't too often since my Keurig machine at home is my go to, I usually order a white chocolate mocha and I'll add flavoring such as hazelnut or peppermint for the holidays. As I perused the Alfred menu, I saw that they sold mocha, but they didn't have white chocolate. Since they didn't have white chocolate, I asked what type of coffee would go with their hazelnut flavoring and the friendly barista recommended that I order their hazelnut latte. It took a little longer for my coffee to be made, but when it came out, I opened the lid and enjoyed their floral design on top of the liquid. Immediately after I took my first sip, I should have asked for more pumps of hazelnut flavoring because it was nonexistent. Even after I continued drinking the coffee, I couldn't taste any hazelnut and thought it tasted more like strawberry than hazelnut. I still finished the coffee because any type of coffee jump starts my day. Wifey wanted to check out this skincare pop-up event and us husbands have to make small sacrifices like getting up early to wait for 4 hours for free goodies. Glad Alfred Coffee was closeby for me to have my morning coffee except I wish I had asked for more hazelnut flavoring.
Stopped in for the LA Sparks X Alfred collab and it did not disappoint! The courtside cloud latte was phenomenal, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything on this menu. Great drinks, cool atmosphere, and great pastry options too! The service was fast and the people were very warm and bubbly. Excited to find another great coffee spot I will definitely be coming back to!

I was deciding between the pumpkin spice latte and vanilla latte. The staff let me try a sample and I ended up going with the pumpkin spice latte. The syrup flavor was pretty strong but it still tasted good even after the ice melted. Matcha drink was good too. Vanilla latte seems pretty popular here. I'll probably try it next time. It was a beautiful sunny day perfect for sitting outside. The outdoor area was quiet and had a nice atmosphere. read more
My boyfriend and I tried this spot and were very happy with the experience. The inside is super cool, it's multi level. Very chic place. There are indoor and outdoor seating options, and the decor and art was really cool to look at. The coffee itself was OK which is why I'm giving it a 3 1/2 stars. My boyfriend got a latte, and I got an iced tea. Both were definitely good, but not the best I've ever had. The vibe definitely is worth it though! The coffee and tea were quick to be made. Definitely a spot to go check out if you're in the area. read more

This is my first time going to Alfred coffee and it was for the COSRX collab. I am now in Alfred coffee person and I will definitely be back and I've been back about a couple times already. The lemonades are good and I think the matcha is great. The iced coffee is awesome. My favorite. read more

TLDR: Pro tip: Skip the burritos and stick with coffee and pastries The good: The chocolate chip cookie was quite possibly the best one I've ever had. Was not able to take pics - we inhaled it. Drinks were also fantastic . The bad: The $15 bacon burrito on the other hand was inedible-with just a smattering of almost non existent hard rubbery egg , hidden in greasy sludge of bacon bits, potato and cheese.. Pics included of the bait and switch. I'm not a complainer but given we spent almost $100 on three burritos, 2 cookies and 3 coffee drinks, the inedible slop thrown in a tortilla they serve feels particularly egregious. read more

Honey... this is my new favorite place. The lavender syrup is made from scratch and it tastes like it. I was able to taste the syrup by itself and it was giving homemade goodness. I can literally make matcha at home and I do but when I want to treat myself I come here because this place does it better than I ever could. There's a lot of milk options too, so I got coconut milk. I also got coconut cloud foam. It's places like this that make LA a food and drink paradise. read more

If I could give this zero I'd give it zero but I the best is 1. The matcha is straight fucking milk for seven bucks. If I wanted milk I would've bought a gallon for the same fucking price. You have to ask for each ingredient and that just seems shitty. Fuck I could've spent my good dollar somewhere else holy shit. read more
One of the best Alfred's I've been to. Workers were super nice and patient even though it was very busy. I don't think this place is very accessibility friendly because it looked like the only way to get in was with stairs unless there is a hidden elevator. I got the seasonal drink which if I'm being honestly I forget the name. It was supposed to come with a cream too which they forgot. The worker recommended the onion bagel which I got and it was so yummy. Sweet onion with whipped cream cheese was a perfect brekkie. read more
This coffee chain is super cute and definitely lives up to the hype. Here's what we ordered: * Famous Vanilla Latte * O.G. Chagaccino: A mix of chaga mushroom, cacao, cinnamon, vanilla, and monk fruit, topped with espresso and milk * Parmesan Croissant: Roasted leeks with parmesan cheese, wrapped in croissant dough. The vanilla latte was decent, but my personal favorite was the iced chagaccino. The Parmesan croissant was absolutely amazing! read more

The melrose location is adorable. There's a ton of seating for a coffee spot, but it can fill up quickly due to the quality of the coffee and the overall vibe of the spot. It's a great place to meet up with a friend d after shopping for a bit to have a quick chat. The service was excellent, of course. The Mont blanc crème coffee with oat milk was a dream with the chocolate madeleine. I'd def recommend coming early but it's pleasant in the afternoon as well read more

The food is great, especially the almond croissants, please make sure to try it. The service is top-notch, every single person behind the counter was friendly, helpful and kind in one way or another. The ambiance is great, there are two floors, and even an outside patio. The bottom floor is where the counter is, and where you put the order. Then after that, you can either sit in the big round table right in front of the counter, or go up the stairs to sit in another long rectangular table, or even go outside where two small round tables await you. The whole place also has nice decorations and the lighting is great too. 10/10 (bathrooms are also well-maintained as well, btw). read more

Service need to improve here. This place on a Sunday is very busy for a bathroom to be under construction. It's not acceptable that someone so cavalierly says to walk to urth cafe half a mile away. My question is where are the employees washing hands and using the bathroom. Doesn't seem sanitary. I question the cleanliness of this place. Not ok. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop with a great bagel food truck outside. We went for a collaboration with Corsx, and tried some of the Matcha drinks. The Matcha cloud cream was really good and was super creamy. The phone on top was super thick and definitely needed to be mixed in. We also got the Matcha Colada. This drink was definitely interesting because it had pineapple juice and Matcha. It was much sweeter than we expected it to be. Well, we didn't have any main issues. The thing that we noticed was the staff was kind of rude and impatient. We had some questions about the menu and the people behind us did too, and we didn't get very helpful responses. Parking was pretty easy plenty of street parking outside and they have a very nice outdoor seating area. Overall I think for the price of the drinks it was pretty expensive. It was about 7 to 9 dollars a drink, and I feel without the collaboration it wouldn't be worth it for a single drink. read more
I know everyone comes here for the coffee, but I'm kind of a fan of their baked goods. Huge variety and all very tasty. Especially their donuts, surprisingly. Chocolate Orange Donut: One of the most sophisticated donuts I've ever had. The thin strands of candied orange peel just made it next level. Great against the vanilla icing and cakey chocolate donut base. Wasn't super deep fried like a typical donut, but that's ok. Strawberry Croissant: Dried strawberries on top and lots of almond paste inside. Not as fluffy and flakey as a plain croissant, but that's a fair tradeoff for all the pizazz. Herb & Toma Cheese Danish: Very herby and a little skimpy on the cheese. It was alright for a savory option, but kinda bready. Really needed to be extra with the cheese. Red Velvet Muffin: It looks like a muffin, but it honestly tasted like a cupcake. But that's ok by me, since I love red velvet cupcakes with the fluffy cakey base against the rich cream cheese frosting. read more

Love their matcha green tea iced lattes...I made it dirty with two shots of espresso. I also love their "lessons in chemistry quotes" on their coasters, which this time it said, "Life rarely follows a formula." read more

What type of milks do you guys offer?
Hi Mina! We offer whole, nonfat, and 2% as well as non dairy options of oat and almond.
Did The Alley Boba place steal The Alfred Trademark logo? They both look oddly the same.
No stealing going on here - that is our Alfred Tea Room! For all your boba and pink drink needs :)
