Very yummy drinks, I got the strawberry matcha and it was delicious. Yummy strawberry puree, the matcha itself wasn't too sweet which I like. My boyfriend got the Chai and it was kind of spicy haha. This place was expensive though, just as if not more expensive than Starbucks. They also had interesting options. The service was meh, they were super fast with preparing our drinks but there was no customer service, like smiling lol. But oh well the drink made up for it. Seems super casual here, it's in like a shopping center/plaza with a bunch of other shops around it. Plenty of parking. I want to come back to try more of their drink options! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I've been to other Alfreds Locations and I love the coffee, I normally get great service , this location maybe needs to rethink who they have employed there, upon walking into this location today there was no greeting despite it being empty, was asked for my order when asking for a minute to look at the menu the girl at the front rudely rolled her eyes and walked away, when ready to order there was a different employee that took our order and her attitude was the same no smiling no your welcomes when saying thank you, it felt like we were a bother.

I genuinely try to support local businesses, but every time I visit this location, I leave feeling disappointed. The lobby is spacious but cold and uninviting--much like the atmosphere created by the staff. The baristas often seem disengaged, offering minimal greetings and even fewer smiles. The coffee is just okay, and while the food is decent, asking to have something warmed up is often met with an eye roll--and the results are inconsistent. I'll be supporting other local coffee spots moving forward. No business should leave you wishing you hadn't walked in at all. read more

First time trying this location at Alfred's Coffee. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which was nice and gave it a relaxed vibe. There was plenty of parking available, which is rare for most coffee spots. There was no line when we got there, and the coffee took about 5-10 minutes to be ready. Everything tasted great. If you're getting a large, I'd recommend asking for extra coffee--it felt a little too milky. Overall, really solid spot. I'd definitely come back. read more

Stumbled upon this place accidentally and man am I glad I did. First off super friendly staff that just greets you with an amazing energy and smile. So if you're feeling down, you forget all about it soon as you walk in cause of their positive energy. And the minute I tried their "best vanilla late in LA" (as it appears on the menu) I realized exactly why they're in a good mood. Cause the coffee is mind blowing amazing! If you like your coffee hot, ask for extra hot cause it's warm/hot. Cozy atmosphere with a flower shop inside, not really a place to sit so come and grab a latte. You'll be amazed and happy! read more

The coffee doesn't taste the same . This location changed from using a La Marzocco semi automatic espresso machine to a fully automatic Eversys Shotmaster similar to what is in Starbucks and La La Land. The coffee no longer tastes very good IMO which is such a disappointment! Only noticed after tasting the coffee and went back to look. I know the newly opened store in Encino still uses a normal espresso machine so I'll continue going there. Hopefully Alfred gets the message! It's my favorite coffee shop! read more

I visited the Malibu Market shopping area today on PCH for the first time in a while and wanted a cup of coffee before I attended a meditation session at the Mindry. I ended up where I thought the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf was and instead it seemed it was replaced by Alfreds'. I ordered a Coconut Milk hot Latte and a Gibraltar, ALL of the big franchise coffee shops have no idea what a Gibraltar is, also known as a Cordoba or a Piccolo- to our surprise they had a Gibraltar on the menu board. Both of our coffees were made to perfection and they tasted spectacular; rich, in taste and full of aroma. The exterior and the interior of the coffee shop was pristine with an artsy influence. The staff were also exceptionally nice and knowledgeable. If you are traveling anywhere in Malibu or on the Pacific Coast Highway I highly recommend stopping in and make sure you bypass all of the franchise coffee shops along the way and any other coffee shops for that matter. In my opinion this is an absolute must try!!! As a footnote there are only approximately 20 other Alfred locations with the first one and the most famous one being situated on Melrose , (since 2013) which is often frequented by celebrities. *They do not accept cash *They were slightly limited on their non dairy milk options, ie. it didn't seem they had unsweetened options at this particular time. read more

I wasn't even aware they closed at 1:00 PM, but regardless, closing the doors before the posted time is unacceptable. There were at least 3-4 other cars and multiple people standing outside, clearly hoping they would still be let in. People drive 10-20 minutes to come here, only to find the store closed early. I'm not local, but I've visited this location a few times when I've been in the area. The local customers standing there were visibly disappointed. This is a very effective way to lose customers. The real issue is not just the hours -- it's the lack of care. Closing at 12:57 and then, when questioned, telling customers it was already 1:00 PM feels dishonest and dismissive. The employee's name was something like Manuel Arbitara, as far as I can remember. I would encourage the owners to review the camera footage and properly train their staff on customer service and professionalism. A secondary issue is the store hours themselves. Closing at 1:00 PM on weekdays may make sense if your customer base starts their day early, but weekend mornings are different -- people tend to get out later. Closing that early on weekends seems out of touch with customer behavior. And finally, the lack of alternatives in the area may be part of the problem. Competition tends to improve service. A good coffee shop nearby might encourage a more customer-focused attitude. We need a Verve Coffee in the area to show how it's done.

The service is attentive without being overbearing, and everything moves at the perfect pace so you can actually enjoy lingering over a long brunch. Pair it with a cocktail (or two) and that view, and it's hard to beat. It's truly one of my favorite weekend spots in Malibu for a brunch that feels both special and effortless.

But just goes to show you it's just another overpriced LA experience wanting to be something it's not. Honestly the Proper hotel does food way better and beautiful views. Although that isn't Malibu. So I get it.

Pura Vida Miami

I'm a huge fan of their Miami locations, so it was only a matter of time before I tried one of Pura…read moreVida's LA options. Today, it was Pura Vida in Malibu, located in the same commercial plaza as Madhappy / Pantry, Frankies Bikinis, Be Kind Studios (pilates), and a soon-to-be Wally's. I really liked Pura Vida because of it's "health and wellness" angle. In re-reviewing the menus here, I noticed several items that were over 1,000 calories - not quite as health-conscious as I remember, but I knew it had to be just as delicious. Thankfully, I was right. I had the Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl which comes with a generous helping of avocado, cucumber, arugula, green onions / scallions, radish, spicy mayo, cilantro rice, and raw tuna. For about $35 with tax and tip, this was a rather hearty lunch that two people could easily share. I didn't mix it, as I prefer to eat ingredients separately, and received a soy ginger sauce on the side to complement the flavors. My friend opted for the Spicy Salmon Wrap, made with a specifically gluten-free wrap. That option comes with cooked salmon (which she found to be dry), edamame, carrots, avocado, and cilantro rice - as well as a side of fruit and the same soy ginger dressing/sauce I had. She wasn't wow'ed by the flavor, which may be because of the wrap, or the gluten-free nature of the preparation, or the salmon itself. The exterior patio seating is new, fun, and reminds me a bit of the La La Land coffee shop in Calabasas. Gorgeous place to have brunch or lunch outdoors and soak in some Malibu overcast. Service was efficient, personable, and polite. Plenty of staff to handle the crowd on a Saturday afternoon. Food came out quickly and tables were bussed in a timely manner. Free parking is available in the back lot, or else in the underground garage. There's also valet parking for $8 (all-day) toward the front.

This place is awesome! Such a beautiful place to have lunch outside and take in the lovely Malibu…read moreweather! I had the Chicken Pesto sandwich and loved it. The amount of chicken on the sandwich is so great and the bread was so flavorful. It was served with some pita chips and a delicious, unique sauce on the side. The Thai Chicken Salad is also phenomenal and such a large portion. I loved Pura Vida and definitely hope to dine at one of the locations again in the future

A small sign at the entrance says Malibu Racquet Club. There is ample parking. It looks like a new business. Sleek lines and blonde wood welcome guests up the stairs. It opens to an attractive seating lounge and bar. Straight ahead is the patio dining area. Friendly staff greeted us and brought drinks promptly. We tried the strawberry ricotta pancakes. Two large ones per serving. One of us had the tuna melt with sweet potato fries. It was all delicious. We would definitely recommend it. Ambiance was quiet. Beautiful greenery all around.

It's out of the way so almost no tourists, it's super chill and a great way to take advantage of our beautiful weather. Very polite staff, nothing fancy, just beautiful mountains, lots of natural greenery and a bright pretty indoor area with a fabulous fireplace in inclement weather. I absolutely used to go crazy over their Curry mango chicken salad, I wish they would bring that back. Good for sandwiches, light salads, eggs. It's a fairly small menu but easy to find healthy enough options, as well as traditional hardier brunch selections.

Cheers!

SunLife Organics is one of those LA staples that's been around long enough to stop explaining…read moreitself. You already know the deal. Clean blends. No shortcuts. Prices that suggest youth is a subscription model. The smoothies hit disciplined. Almost strict. The Malibu Sunrise comes in sharp and confident. Carrot forward. Bright. Like it's daring you to call it juice instead of a cleanse. The Matcha Latte is earthy and unsweetened. Very much for people who actually like matcha. Not people chasing a green moment for Instagram. The Pink Cloud is the safe flirt. Berry soft. Coconut creamy. Sweet enough to feel indulgent while still pretending it meditates. Everything tastes fresh in that expensive on purpose way. Portions are fine. Not generous. Not stingy. Just enough to make you feel virtuous without feeling deprived. This is aspirational hydration. You're paying for organic discipline. For the fantasy that balance is achievable if you just order correctly. And honestly. It delivers. No watered down blends. No filler energy. Just clean flavor with confidence and a price tag that keeps it exclusive adjacent. The space is Malibu calm with LA awareness. Blonde wood. Bright light. Athleisure everywhere. Smoothies held like accessories. People casually checking themselves in the reflection of the freezer glass. Laptops appear. Emails do not. Conversations feel vague on purpose. You don't hang out here. You reset. Then you leave feeling like you made a good decision. Even if it was just a smoothie. It's giving...

I ordered the pink cloud smoothie and Brazilian bowl (original acai bowl). I think the acai bowls are worth the price. 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.
