    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.

    Came in on Jan 4th at around 10 am and the 2 girls working were so rude, me and my cousins came in giving Alfred's a try for the first time. So we were excited since we had heard good things, when we walked in a girl with a red striped beanie came to the register to take our order without saying anything we let her know that we were still looking at the menu and just said okay rolled her eyes and walked away the other girl ended up talking our order who also seemed miserable to be at work! We just ordered and waited for our drinks, after this experience I won't be coming back. Horrible service, I never write reviews but I was so disappointed. I won't be coming back since the staff was so unwelcoming!

    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.

While my wife was in the restroom, he began yelling at her through the bathroom door. She repeatedly told him she was in the restroom and asked for a moment of privacy, yet he continued to berate her instead of simply leaving her alone. When I stepped in and said, "She's in the restroom, please give her some privacy," he immediately turned his attention toward me, raised his voice, and continued escalating the confrontation. Rather than de-escalating the situation--as any competent manager should--he became increasingly aggressive and even threatened to call the police. At no point did this manager attempt to resolve the situation professionally. Instead, he repeatedly yelled at us, behaved in an intimidating manner, and turned what should have been a simple interaction into an extremely hostile experience. This was, without question, the worst experience I've ever had at a Café Lux location. No customer should ever be verbally confronted, harassed, or intimidated by a manager, especially when one of them is simply trying to use the restroom. Because of this incident, I will never spend another dollar at Café Luxxe. Management should take this complaint seriously and thoroughly investigate the conduct of the manager on duty.

This week we hit our limit, and are thinking of canceling our membership. The waiters act as though you should be serving them and it usually takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes for someone to arrive at your table. Meals are drawn out due to the lack of service. The front desk hostess' could not be more unpleasant, dismissive, and rude. Also, the food is simply OK, nothing special, and priced exceptionally high for what it is. In terms of ambiance, the furniture is stained, mildewy, and terribly kept. The large dining room remains empty throughout the day since they don't allow computers, and everyone is crammed into a small area where "computers are allowed". Also the employees take up one of the best (more private) tables in the house with their computers and coffee (stunned by this). I spoke to a once prominent member who also canceled his membership for these same reasons. It's truly so sad to see a place with such potential, lack such basic needs.

We did come pretty early in the morning, so maybe during noon, it would be even more packed. The size is pretty large.

We told them, 'Jenna'. But when they brought out the drink, 'Jen' was written on it. It's pretty confusing because Jen can go for Jenny, Jennifer, etc. It's a pretty common nickname/name.

It's not icy, however since it was a hot day it melted and became watery way too fast. The pink cloud smoothie tastes like the blended fruits with no added sugar. I tasted mostly of the dragon fruit. It didn't taste sweet at all and I wasn't expecting that since it had banana. If you're looking for a sweet smoothie, this isn't for you. Overall, SunLife Organics definitely uses fresh real fruit and is natural tasting. I recommend for those who are health conscious.
