    I love going to Alfred's every now and then to enjoy a really nice latte that's somewhat basic but it satisfies the iced latte/einspanner craving. Every Alfred's Coffee location has the winter-like ski lot vibe with wooden seating areas and somewhat rustic and woodsy decor. Service is always friendly but it gets very crowded often, so go during non-peak hours or not when you're in a massive rush. While Alfred's isn't THE place for the best matcha in the city, you can't go wrong with their coffee! I love a decaf latte there but they also have amazing chagaccinos, iced vanilla lattes, and protein-rich drinks as well. What brings the review down a couple notches: - Price-wise: yes, a little more on the expensive side depending on what you consider high vs. low (though other places charge as much as $8 to start!) - Parking is also not the best--ideally, you'd find street parking - Not super ideal to work and study here as it's cramped and the outdoor patio is in a loud area

    Oh boy, I was really looking forward to trying this spot!! I know it's a pretty popular chain and there's quite a few of them that I've seen. We finally decided to drop by before our day trip to Universal Studios. First of all, parking is a nightmare and we happened to choose to come on a very busy day? Everyone stack parked on the street with their "park anywhere lights" on lol. It was obnoxious and hard to get around in this tiny street. There was a line out the door for the pizza place a few doors down, assuming everyone who parked here were for whatever they were having. We looped around and found a spot at the very end and just walked, no big deal. There was a bit of a line in this tiny coffee shop, love the beautiful aesthetic and decor. Ordered the drinks which came out pretty quickly. I obviously had to try their "World Famouse Vanilla Latte" iced and my bf got their "Oatnog Latte" iced. We both tried ours and each others and were not crazy about them. Tasted kind of watered down? Not enough creamer or sweetness? The flavor in the oatnog itself was a bit odd and couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly. We didn't finish our drinks but I need my coffee every morning and this kind of did the job. However... Not worth the parking or hassle, sadly. IG: @ammysalamii

    Left vanilla latte Right americano

    Came on a saturday night..look for street parking they have no parking lot Kept it simple and yet was disappointed ordered a small americano and their famous iced vanilla latte americano was watered down and no flavor of coffee for thr iced vanilla latte. The inside smelled of wet mop which was a red flag and the staff was not very friendly or attentive

    Famous Alfred Vanilla Latte, so good.

    Love Alfred Coffee and this particular location on Ventura Place at Studio City. Great customer service and hardly any wait time. You can order online for pick up. Parking is easy, as you can just park across the street. My favorite is the World Famous Vanilla Latte both hot and iced along with the O.G. Chagaccino hot and Mocha Latte hot. They are not too sweet and the perfect combination of espresso, coffee, vanilla, mocha and mushrooms. Looking forward to stopping by tomorrow morning to pick up our favorite coffee.

    I ordered The world famous Vanilla iced latte. It was great. I really liked the taste, it was different than the similar drinks I order at other coffee shops. It became my to go order when visiting Alfred Coffee. For service, I was greeted as I walked in. There wasn't any line or people waiting for drinks. So I got my order faster than I expected. For ambiance, this is a little coffee shop with no seats inside. There is plenty of seating area outside which when I visited weather was nice. I got to enjoy the nice weather and my tasty coffee. For parking, this location is street parking only. I noticed in front of the store there weren't that many empty spots, but across the street were plenty. It's metered parking so make sure to have change or download the app to save time.

    Nice little coffee spot. All seating is outside and it only street parking. The meters are quarters only or through an app. Wish I had quarters cause there are a lot of steps to pay through the app lol. You could see the staff working hard as soon as you enter. I ordered the world famous vanilla latte hot. Little bit of a line but the wait time wasn't bad. The drink was delicious! I tried it iced but its also really good hot. Right amount of sweetness with the coffee flavor still standing out. I like it! Thank you!

    Had a lovely experience here yesterday grabbing some matcha! I ordered the iced matcha latte through the app and they made it very quickly with the customizations I added, which were lavender and pumpkin spice syrup and macadamia milk. When I came in, I wasn't sure where the drink was, but the employees were both very friendly and directed me to the shelf where it was. The matcha was delicious and the macadamia milk is so luscious and creamy. It worked perfectly! I also like how their iced drinks don't get too watered down! I really loved the flavors coming from the syrups and was surprised how well pumpkin spice and lavender really work together! It wasn't overly sweet too but just sweet enough to balance out the bitterness of the matcha. There was ample outdoor seating by the street and while it was covered, it was still very bright and sunny. It was relaxing to sit there and very clean and well maintained, just like the inside. Parking was easy in the neighborhood, with plenty of street parking a couple of blocks away.

    Alfred is a cute little shop with only outdoor seating. They currently have a Frankenstein Netflix mural on the wall, which looks so cool! I ordered a medium iced matcha latte with whole milk ($7), and it was pretty good. Good matcha flavor and not sweet. Service was fast, which was nice. I'd definitely come back to try their other drinks, but probably at a different location since parking here is tricky with only metered street parking available.

    Look at the almond milk chucks on the bottom of this iced americano.

    Maybe it was an off day but my coffee was awful. I've never had any issues at the Pasadena location and when I saw this location while eating out decided to stop in for a midday pick me up. I ordered an iced americano with almond milk. A pretty simple drink. But it was awful. I could literally see the chunks of milk floating around. (Look at the photo I uploaded) Even the color was off ....it was severely watered down. I'm not one to say anything but I couldn't drink it. I went and asked if they could remake it and the girl gave me such attitude. She made me an iced latte instead and while it was fine. It wasn't my original order. Left with a sour taste in my mouth... literally and figuratively I think I'll stick to the other locations where the baristas know what they're doing.

    Jude reached out and upheld the standards of Alfred! Not only was there the direct outreach to provide a meaningful way to deal with the situation. There was empathy and understanding! I appreciate that Alfred stands by its principals and that it's held to those standards by the ownership! Massive gratitude

    Called ahead for my iced vanilla latte, swung through, super tiny spot with street parking only but easy in-and-out. Picked up my drink right off the shelf ... yeah it's a little pricey, but once you stir that thing up? Man... flavors go crazy. Smooth, unique, low-key addicting. Hit the spot perfectly.

    This is the 3rd Alfred's location I've been too and overall their drinks are about the same in each location! They have no indoor seating but have about 5 small tables outside if you'd like to sit and drink your coffee. You can park for free across the street in the Vons plaza and walk over. Matcha latte (hot) 4/5, traditionally bitter Matcha latte (hot) w/ vanilla syrup 1.5/5, I have never tried a vanilla syrup like this I truly advices if you want a sweetener to use honey instead

    Does this location take cash?

    No they're cashless,

    Do they have outlets?

    I doubt it - but maybe. There are only a couple patio tables to sit - it's not really a space conducive to getting work done.

    Which of the plant based milks are unsweetened?

    We use Califia brand barista Almond and Oat milk in all of our cafes. The Almond milk has 5g of added cane sugar. The oat milk however doesn't have any added sugars, just 3g that are created during the process of making the oat milk.

    What time do they open because on Yelp it says 6am but the app won't let me order until 7am?

    Hi! Our hours of operation have changed a couple of times since March when COVID hit and we are grateful for everyone's understanding! Currently and indefinitely, our hours of operation are 7am-5pm. We have updated our profile to reflect this. You… Read more

Mike generously answered every question, was patient with a customer's old gift card, and adjusted a customer's matcha when she said it was too sweet. Like, I literally had to look up from laptop a couple times because I was overhearing him being awesome to people. I'm not just talking about courtesy and baseline customer service, which bosses make their employees perform. He was just as sweet to the Door Dash/Uber Eats couriers. There was no figurative "wall" between him and the customer. It all just seemed more personal and like he really wanted everyone to leave feeling good. I know I did.

Inside was clean, not too big but they have a few tables as well as some outside. They have a little patio area out front. They have different options on the menu besides coffee, like açaí and smoothies. I opted for their rose late which was on the specialty menu and chose almond milk. Unfortunately I was disappointed by the flavor of the coffee. There was no hint of rose at all. The coffee flavor itself tasted ok but when you advertise rose, you should get that prominent flavor shine through.

Ambiance: Inside has a bare and rustic feel to it, the rugs and the beautiful embroidered piece on the motorcycle inside feel so intentional. The natural lighting was beautiful and the exterior even matched. The seating is decent compared to the size and most people just picked up their drinks and left so that was not a problem. Drinks: We ordered the yala latte and the fig and vanilla matcha. The yala latte was delicious, sweet (but not too sweet), with a strong, smooth coffee flavor. The fig and vanilla matcha was the best matcha we've ever had. Once stirred, you get the delicious jammy flavor from the fig with the slight inclusions of some seeds and light pulp. The matcha was delicious and high quality as well. Overall the drink was our perfection with the balance of all the flavors and the aesthetic dried fig on top. Service: We got there around 3:30 on a Friday and the line wasn't too long. The line moved swiftly as they took everyone's order and got the drinks turned around fairly quickly. Overall: Yala stands out for its beautifully curated space and atmosphere and genuinely tasty drinks making it worth the hassle of parking and the typical LA crowd. The ambiance feels intentional and artistic without feeling overdone or too much, and the drinks, especially the fig and vanilla matcha are thoughtfully crafted and memorable in both flavor and presentation. Yala is the type of spot where you'd come back when you want something that is not only visually pleasing but genuinely well made. They have many other interesting options that we will be sure to come back and try.
