Great customer service on busy opening day. The barista Skye made a perfect cloud matcha with plant based milk and foam. Kevin the store manager introduced himself to make sure all was fine. The Palisades venue is cool and upscale. Two thumbs up for the whole Alfred staff and store. read more

I've never left a review before, let alone a negative one, but this experience was frustrating enough that I felt I needed to. We ordered two lattes and a chai and waited about 20 minutes to receive the two lattes. After another 10 minutes, one of the employees noticed we were still waiting and asked what we were missing. I told her a chai, and after looking at our receipt, she seemed confused and asked who I assume was the manager for help. We were then told that we had already received all of our drinks. My mom had taken one latte outside and my sister was holding the other, so I explained that we had ordered three drinks and were still missing the chai. The manager insisted that I had never ordered a chai and told me I would need to pay for it. After already waiting around 30 minutes, I was confused and frustrated, but I didn't want to be difficult, so I paid for it again. When I looked at my original receipt afterward, I realized we HAD been charged for three drinks. The cashier had simply entered my chai as a latte. So the issue was never that we hadn't paid for a third drink; our order had been entered incorrectly. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, the cashier continued insisting that I had ordered a latte, and we even overheard her saying, "They never ordered a chai." The manager was equally dismissive and continued telling us we were wrong. She eventually said we would be refunded and told the cashier to handle it, but after waiting even longer with still no chai or refund, we finally left. We ultimately paid twice for a drink we never received. I do want to mention that the taller, dark-haired employee working on drinks/pickup was genuinely helpful and seemed to be the only person who noticed how long we had been waiting and tried to help us. I really appreciated her. The café wasn't particularly busy, and mistakes happen. I completely understand that. I was polite and understanding throughout the situation. What upset me was the lack of accountability and the way we were treated after the mistake was brought to their attention. A simple apology and an effort to fix the order would have completely changed this experience. read more

This chain coffee shop has great products, from the matcha croissants to the breakfast burritos and bagels. This location is both gorgeous and challenging as you'll find yourself competing for expensive parking in a trendy location. That said, if you're here already, it hits all the stops from breakfast to lunch, and has a few reasonably priced items for the area. Although the baristas were super friendly, we went on an exceptionally challenging day for them and waited quite awhile for coffee. Fortunately, the coffee was well-made and it has a very gorgeous place to sit down. If you're ready to face a challenging but rewarding experience, come check this Alfred Coffee out. read more

The review is moreso for the staff than the drinks lol. I've always had a pleasant experience here every time I come in. This location is quick and friendly. I usually just get an iced matcha latte with macadamia milk + bit of honey. Matcha here isn't too strong, so if you've slowly transitioned to matcha then I think Alfred's is a good starting point for ya! Are there better matcha spots, sure. But this is my spot when I'm hitting a matcha craving and is within steps of where I'm at! The breakfast burrito is good (I've always gotten it via TooGoodToGo) and I actually love their yogurt & granola lol. read more

Their famous vanilla syrup when it's sugar free is awful. Horrible after taste and their regular vanilla syrup is so high in sugar and carbs and doesn't even taste good. They made my drink wrong the first time then re-made it only for it to taste bad. Then a third time only for me to give up on asking to fix it. Price is high for mediocre quality. I've had better coffee at so many coffee shops in the area and this is not it. read more

Great ambiance at this location of Alfred. Lots of outdoor seating overlooking the grass area and shops. Busy on weekends but still nice to be here. The cold brew is delicious with easy whole milk. Perfect for a hot summer day. Customer service not so friendly at this location. Overall great place to get your coffee from. read more

Ever since I had a random period of not wanting to have coffee at all (I'm not sure what happened, I just didn't want it for a long time), I have come to appreciate going to Alfred more because of their tea selection. Of course I am drinking coffee occasionally again now, and Alfred has good coffee, but I've come to really enjoy their Chai latte and loose leaf tea. A while back I asked if they sold packages of their loose leaf tea at this location and the staff didn't know what I was talking about (maybe she was new?) but I'm glad I was able to purchase some this last time. My kids claim they like to go to Alfred because of the pastry selection and being able to order their own iced chocolate milk or hot cocoa when they get to go with me (so spoiled). This is a cute location inside the village shopping mall. If you don't mind walking a block there is some free 2-hour parking on the residential streets between 8am and 6pm. Otherwise there is plenty of metered and underground parking. read more

What a cool cafe in the middle of a shopping/dining center! Perfect for those who like to people watch, but not so good if you're trying to do work as there were only a few small tables and no outlets. Although, we just needed to get some quick work done before a holiday party so it worked out well for us! Service was quick and we were very happy with our iced latte! read more

This is a good coffee shop but it's gotten more commercialized over the years. The coffee is usually very good but sometimes they make it too fast and it just doesn't taste as quality. If you get iced, beware that they never actually fill the cup because there's so much ice ha. read more

Great latte art in a small place, but with a beautiful courtyard outside to hang out. They were quite busy, so it took about 15 minutes for my drink. read more

Solid 4 stars. My partner and I decided to take a drive to the Pacific Palisades farmers market as we have not been here in a couple years due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We decided to walk our dog and get coffee first. My review is as follows: Cold Brew: 5 stars! Smooth, delicious cold brew coffee. What more can I say? smooth taste, no sugar or cream required. Service: 5 stars! The lovely people behind the counter were fast and efficient, very friendly and were COVID compliant in terms of social distancing and face mask usage. Savory Patries: 4 stars Ham and Cheese croissant & Cheese and Toma / Herb danish. Ham and cheese was very good, but both of these pastries would rank higher if there was an option to have them heated up. The pastry could use a little more ham or cheese as well. Cheese & Toma(to) / herb danish Was also good but could use a bit more cheese and also the option to be heated up as well. Clean location, always busy with pleasant people to talk to and enjoy a lazy Sunday morning stroll. I will come back here again the next time we are up in the Palisades. read more

Overpriced coffee. However, the lattes are solid and customer service here is friendly.

It's Alfred Coffee so you know their espresso drinks are going to be super strong. Also, it's Alfred Coffee, so you know the location is somewhere interesting. This particular Alfred Coffee is located in Palisades Village - an outdoor shopping center nestled in Pacific Palisades' busiest commercial area. This Alfred is located around Palisades Village's square so you can sit on one of the outdoor cafe tables to people watch... or keep an eye on your kids while they run around the grassy area. Street parking all over the streets but if you prefer, a parking structure is on site as well. read more

I ordered a large matcha latte with oat milk. The cafe was cute and allowed dogs. The service was quick and efficient, and my latte was delicious. There's also outdoor seating available which makes things convenient if you want to sit outside and not too close to other people. I would like to come here again and order the iced espresso lavender latte or the lavender matcha latte. read more

Alfred never disappoints! Thanks for excellent coffee and service. Always come out with a big smile on my face :) read more

Palisades Village is a beautiful location with Alfred coffee possessing the same consistent quality as the other stores. The shop was intended to take advantage of outdoor seating so the floor space is smaller than Beverly Hills or Melrose. It is still a place to meet over coffee or tea but spend it outdoors in a sunny and usually mild climate. Parking can be a challenge but there is an adjacent underground garage that is only full on Farmers market Sundays. read more

Alfred Coffee - Iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pacific Palisades, California

By 10 am they are already running out of all the materials they need to make the holiday drinks they are always advertising. This seems to be typical for them since they're always running out of breakfast burritos too. They announced the holiday drinks a week ago but they're clearly very unprepared. Stocking and inventory must not be their strong suit. I never know if I'm going to be able to get the drink I want to get. They also didn't tell me until I had been standing around waiting for the drink for a good 10 minutes. read more

I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I do enjoy the tea and lemonades there. The Peachy Palmer is my favorite refreshment. Even though there is almost always a long line, it goes by very quickly and the baristas definitely work hard to get everyone's drink ready in a timely manner. The cafe inside is very small and loud but they do have some seating outside that usually gets taken up quickly. Shoutout to Armanda! I really appreciate her service during my visits! read more

Alfred is the best coffee in the Palisades, hands down. It's so flavorful, and my daily cappuccino is the right temp every time. This particular location is great too. The music is always on point, but more importantly, the people who work here are super friendly and always welcoming with a smile. Visiting Alfred is a great way to start my day. At busy times, it's worth the wait! read more

Such a warm and lovely place to hang out and read the paper, a book, people watch, or work. My husband and I do all of those. Plus, we always see neighborhood friends while we are there. The ambiance, of course, is beautiful with Caruso's perfectionist handiwork on everything. Birds flying, children playing on the grass, people browsing and friendly, and it always feels like we are on vacation when we visit, which we do several days a week. Plus, the staff are accommodating and thoughtful. They also have the best tea anywhere. Try the peach blossom or the coconut. Thanks everyone for making our time at Alfred peaceful and lovely.

I don't know about the ambiance and service, since I almost always order to go. I tried their regular lattes a long time ago before I had to go off coffee. They were solid. Now I live off their matcha. Hot matcha, iced matcha, BOOST matcha. Matcha, matcha, matcha. Take all my money and 5 stars for keeping me functioning. read more

The best coffee place in Los Angeles, and in this specific neighborhood. The coffee quality is as good if not better than the best coffee shops in NYC, which is hard to be on par with. I've been walking down to this coffee shop for the past 4 years, and I'm lucky to call many of the baristas friends - people who I look forward to seeing and taking a much needed daily dose of smiles, connection, and great coffee. Honestly, I hesitate to write the review, because I like to keep the best secrets, just that. But if you're a friend, you know this is the best spot for coffee, possibly in all of LA. read more

I love Alfred Coffee. But- this location has rude staff. Two male baristas are extremely unfriendly. I would not recommend this location.

When I walk in I'm always greeted by the warm and friendly baristas. The outside patio is great for a nice coffee date or to catch up on work. Overall great atmosphere and the staff is always the cherry on top : ) read more

I was in today for a coffee before my dentist appointment across the street. Of course, you have to drink coffee before, not after you have clean sparkling white teeth! Candice was the barista who made my mocha and it was superb! I always ask for extra hot and no one ever gets it right. Alfred's got it right with a beautiful design on top to boot. The vegan chocolate in the drink was amazing and I can truly say, this was an excellent mocha. I will definitely be back soon. read more

If you live in LA and haven't been to Alfred's, do you actually live in LA! Haha jk! But this is one of the very popular spots that many locals enjoy! I'm actually not a big coffee drinker but they have other options including a matcha green tea latte that is very good! Additionally they over so many types of milks, so you will not be short of that. The staff are friendly in given out their recommendations on what customers add to their drinks, so just ask if you want to try something new! A friend got the oat milk latte and thoroughly enjoyed it, so there's definitely something for everyone. Enjoy this place and they have a cute seating are outside that you can just chill and hang out or even get some work done! read more
