I was having such a bad morning, and as always, the staff at Alfred's were so sweet, kind, and super fast! Cadence took my order and suggested the banana bread muffin, and OMG... DELICIOUS! She also told me about their famous vanilla iced coffee with 3 shots of espresso, and YASSSSS! It was so good! On my way out, the two girls greeted me, told me to have a nice day, and even told me I looked so pretty. That honestly made my whole day! Thank you, Alfred's, for always having such amazing, friendly staff and for turning my bad morning around. You girls are the sweetest! read more

Been to a couple other locations over the years, and was surprised how big this location is (mostly been to BH locations and Silverlake). Tho looking at their locations online right now, I see there are so many other big spots lol. I thought it was cute inside though a bit dark. I got the espresso cloud cream which was super yummy (but too small for the price lol). There were quite a few people working and I felt they were all over the place. While I was ordering, mid talking, the person switched out with someone else. I'm all for a fun place of work but customer service shouldn't slack. read more

Stopped by Alfred Coffee Highland Park and had a pretty solid experience. We ordered the vanilla latte and strawberry matcha--both were delicious and definitely hit the spot. Service was good, and the space itself is nice and laid-back. There's a shared parking lot, which helps, plus street parking if needed. We went early so it was pretty empty, which made it even more enjoyable. Would come back for the drinks! read more

Came in early on a Monday and ordered two lattes and a bagel. There were no other customers before or after us for at least 5 minutes. We waited 20 minutes for our lattes and a plain, unsliced bagel with a prepackaged cream cheese on the side. It all tasted fine but the wait was absolutely *ridiculous*. The only other time we came here we ordered the breakfast burrito, which was frozen, bland, and still cold in the middle. There is no excuse for a burrito that bad in LA. We won't be back. read more

Coffee was really good, flavor was just right and coffee was flavorful. I would for sure go back for coffee. I also tried breakfast burrito and it was super tasty. 2 coffees, burrito and croissant was about 40$, kinda pricey but it was all really good. Parking lot is super full so street parking is your best bet. Also had plenty of seating for people looking to do work. read more

On a sleepy Sunday morning, our eyelids woke up to the World Famous Vanilla Lattes from Alfred Coffee. We ordered one hot & one iced. Both were superb. Service was also quick with our friendly, neighborhood baristas. Inside, it was festively decorated for the season. And the sun poured in through the front windows that greet Highland Park's heartbeat, better known as Figueroa Street. And it had that NYC vibe that we coffee snobs love. Now I'm not sure what the qualifications would be to label a latte as "world famous" but I suppose a few blokes in the UK gave it a thumbs up, a Parisian's pinkie got aroused, while someone in the Middle East raised their hands in admiration on Instagram to this robust espresso drip. However, I was informed by the Alfred staff that this title comes from its "bar-raising, innovative recipe." Ok, fine, whatever. It's true that ever since its Melrose coffee shop brewed the first, fresh batch in 2013, Alfred has gained meme-worthy status on TikTok. Apparently, it's Alfred's World Famous Vanilla Syrup that gets all the attention. Well, I'll drink to that. And I'll be back for more of this World Famous cup of joe. read more

There is no shortage of hipster coffee places in Highland Park. I'm actually surprised this place doesn't have a vinyl record collection and a built-in barbershop/winery/thrift store to match the other coffee places nearby! Why do I keep returning to this location? Great baked items, natural light, and WIFI. Surprised that Civil Coffee, another great vibe/hang, has no WIFI, and I ain't using my hotspot to work! The Matcha Croissant was fabulous, and I enjoyed the lavender Madeline, if you are into the perfumey taste like I am! I wouldn't get their Bagel and cream cheese, because they made it more of a dessert bagel, and I'm more of a traditional bagel purist. You can people-watch on Figueroa while you drink and work. read more

Stopped in for an iced matcha latte and it did not disappoint. I personally love a strong matcha flavor when I sip so it delivered to my standards! It seems like the perfect place to sit down and study, so might be back! Baristas were friendly, only issue was restroom was out of service so I had to cut my time short. read more

4.5 stars I discovered Alfred about a year ago and was excited when I found out they opened in my hood. Alfred is known for its exceptional brews, vibrant atmosphere, and engaging design aesthetic. I must say, their new location in HLP checks all the boxes. This place is retro chic! I love the décor. The menu is printed on glass in white lettering, so it was difficult for me to read. Tessa assisted me with my order. She was cheerful and friendly. I got a Sugar Free Vanilla Latte with almond milk. They make their own Vanilla Bean syrup, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My latte was the perfect Sunday morning pick me up. The foam was creamy, and the brew was nicely balanced with a hint of vanilla. They also have vegan pastries, breakfast burritos, & bagels with vegan smears too. I'm so happy to have Alfred in the area! *Small parking lot or street parking. read more

Please. Just stick with coffee. Don't even serve your matcha drink please It literally tasted like milk only.... And the fact that matcha cans were being sold.. I'm so so disappointed, I rarely even give one star but had to toss my drink along with how much I paid for that. read more

I stopped by this morning for my daily coffee, and the customer service was honestly awful. No greeting when I walked in, no friendliness at all. I told the cashier my order, and she just looked at me with no response. After I paid, she walked away--no receipt, no explanation, nothing. The coffee itself was fine, but the staff seemed completely uninterested and unenthusiastic. I don't know if it's this specific location or the area, but it's a huge contrast from other Alfred locations where service is usually great. Definitely won't be returning. read more

great coffee! The cloud cream is my favorite. one of the most hip coffee places in our neighborhood. read more

My first stop on the "Highland Park Coffee Passport". My family and I came for a quick easy bite and ordered: plain latte, cloud latte, plain bagel, sweet onion bagel and egg+cheese breakfast burrito by Wake and Late. The coffee was good, the cloud cream was a lot so I feel like I couldn't really tell what their espresso was like but overall good drink, not too sweet. More on the dessert end of drinks for me. I love their bagels! Ball shaped bagels that have a crispy top and the softest inside. The sweet onion bagel + scallion cream cheese is my favorite combo. Their cream cheese is a bit gritty but not sure from what? Don't get the breakfast burritos! Not a bad review on Alfred's part since it's from a different shop (wake and late). Small overpriced burritos that overall did not taste good. Overcooked eggs and no cheese in the "egg+cheese"??? The interior is spacious but very cold (today) since there are large open windows facing the street. There is a shared parking lot which had no spots so paid street parking is best. read more

LA weather is perfect for this place. My man got a matchaga and matcha croissant. Clearly this dude is into matcha and i didn't think this place would do it right (being a coffee place not an Asian tea joint) but wow i was impressed with specialty drink and baked product (which was sourced somewhere but they clearly chose a solid place). Has a nice old-time feel but clearly isn't old and decrepit. Nice ambiance to chill or talk to companion. read more

Expensive, mid quality, bad customer service. Tried it once, it was not good, won't come back. I think that bad costumer service started my experience. I was already not okay with the cost and the service just sealed my thoughts. Got a signature matcha, it was a little too watery for me. The vibes are pretty cool, I went on a Sunday morning, there was plenty of parking. read more

Amazing ambiance, i came on a Tuesday evening and hardly anyone was occupying the seating area. The barista was so friendly and helpful when I was asking for recommendations. I ended up ordering the peaches n' cream iced matcha with oat milk and it was so good, the matcha taste isn't very prominent but it was still pretty good. I also got a blueberry scone which was amazing, great size and density for the price. I will say it's a bit more on the pricey side but totally worth in my opinion. baristas have great music taste as well, lots of Lauryn Hill and neo-soul/r&b being played over the speakers. read more

Solid yummy lattes. We got the cloud cream latte (plant based version) and a peaches n cream matcha latte. The matcha latte was refreshing. The coffee latte was a great balanced latte, super creamy. The service was great, the staff was kind especially considering we went in right before closing. There was plenty of seating and beautiful interior, perfect place to study or catch up with a friend. read more

Um what happened to the wake and late burritos? What happened to the tots??? That's what made them worth $$$. Today I spent over $75 on two burritos, three pastries, two bagels, and two drinks. The steak burrito was hella chewy and cold and the potatoes were hard. Did they forget to heat it up??? Also I'm still mad the tots are gone. The og wake and late has crispy tots inside and that's what made it so good. I won't be paying $17-18 for a normal burrito. read more

I ordered 8 drinks and 2 food items via UberEats. My delivery lady was very sweet and did her best to get my order to me but Alfred's doesn't know how to properly package their drinks for delivery. 7 drinks and 1 bagel in a flimsy paper bag that was ripping around each corner. The drink in the middle had spilled into the box the bagel was in and into the matchas. The bag was wet. There was a separate bag with a cappuccino and croissant, the drink was completely spilled over and croissant was drenched in coffee so I had to toss the entire bag away. UberEats would not assist me and told me there is nothing they could do. If I'm unable to get a refund, at the very least the company should be more aware of how they're packaging and sending out these orders. I'm -$80 and have had to clean my now coffee covered station. Just super disappointed. read more

I probably should've acknowledged the low ratings here and not come. It might just be me, but I do not like tasting salt in my matcha. There were big pieces of salt in my cloud matcha and most of the drink was the cloud foam. It was so expensive and not worth the price AT ALL. There was hardly any matcha, mostly foam, and salty. My personal experience also included having to be in downtown where there are hardly any public restrooms and this one was out of service. I think they should've offered their employee restroom or recommended where to go especially since I was a paying customer. Would not go back here. read more

I would like to give a big shoutout to the staff at Alfred's. They are always so kind and are always greeting the customers the moment you walk into the coffee shop. Best of all their drinks are amazing! They always make my flat whites just how I like it! If you're looking for a coffee shop to study or do work this is your place! read more

I gave them another shot meeting up with some friends to do work. The customer service was better but the drinks were still mediocre. Then I ordered a bacon breakfast buritto... If you've ever had breakfast hot pockets, it tasted exactly like that. I don't hate those, but I'm also not paying over $15 for them either. And unlike Alfred's, I'm also heating them enough that the center isn't cold. It's an okay place to do work, but that's the only reason I'd consider coming back again. read more

the cream top here is good but omg this girl just gave me one of the worst matcha lattes i have ever had in my whole life it was like 90% milk and tasted like chalk also the customer service wasn't that great. trust the other other reviews this place is barely a 3 at most. read more

I've been wanting to try this place as it continues to come up when I'm in a mood for Matcha ( which is always). 10/10 for vibes. The coffee shop itself is a cute little place with awesome decor. Plenty of tables to sit at including a bar area and window seating. It's centrally located to where Figueroa's little shopping area starts so very easy to grab a coffee or bite to have while shopping. 5/10 parking situation.... They share a lot with other business but it's pretty small. You can always look for street parking or the metered parking lots they have in the back. I got lucky today and there was 1 spot available. 7/10- the service was okay. Not that she wasn't nice but she was very straight forward just "tell me what you want to order vibes" I do gotta say when I asked for her preference she did answer my question. Strawberry Matcha 10/10 loved the housemade strawberry syrup. Gives it that different and refreshing touch. read more

The coffee is so good that I've overlooked their rudeness, but after today I won't go back to this location. Absolutely the rudest staff. Every time I've gone in there the employees appear to be bothered that they have customers. I keep trying to give this place a chance but today is the last time. I went there at 2:40. I was the only one in line and The Barista was standing at the counter fumbling with a clipboard. She didn't even acknowledge I was there, and after about 2 minutes she said "Are you done?" I told her I hadn't even ordered and she said very sarcastically stated "I thought you were still looking". I placed my order, and was getting cash out of my pocket for the tip jar and she laughed and said "We don't take cash". Having been to Alfred's before I am aware, and I simply said "that was for your tip". I absolutely love their coffee, but not their attitude. Every other Alfred's I have been to their employees are awesome except for the one in Highland Park. read more

I come in here quite often to work on my laptop, so I'm a good customer and I brought my dog here before there's always dogs in here working and today after purchasing an iced coffee and breakfast with my laptop in my hand, I sit down to work and then im told im not allowed to have a dog in the café so now I have a dog, a large cold brew and a burrito that I can't go anywhere with - had I have known before I purchased the food and the cold brew I would've went to another café that would let me let the dog in there really annoying and safe to say I won't be back. Also, the workers literally had their dog in there two days ago when I was there. read more

I hate to the that person that leaves a bad review. I love Alfred. I get their vanilla matcha every day, but for some reason this specific alfred location does it so poorly i literally go out of my way to go further to a different alfred to get a matcha that's the right proportions. They just make the drink different every time i get it as oppose to other alfred's who make it consistently every time. it's a shame. also, i always leave kind of in a mood because there's one lady who works there that does this thing where she doesn't answer or say anything and if comes off pretty mean. needs better management at this location for sure read more

I love Alfred's and go to Studio City and Encino all the time however I was in the area and stopped by on Sunday and I was going to order a croissant and noticed the case was filled with so many little bugs. I didn't say anything because I was shocked but if a customer noticed how did the employees didn't. It was a good amount of small tiny bugs all over the case. read more

Ahh a bunch of people mad at coffee prices! They should maybe move to Fresno or Bakersfield! I come here twice a week on my days off to enjoy a maple latte and a drip coffee, excellent service, great coffee from a reputable coffee company (not a franchise). Any who if you want bad service just go down the street to Civil, if you want you want to wait in line in the hot sun go to Kumquat! Only thing that sucks is the parking, too many people going to little Caesar's which is next door. read more
