Got the strawberry matcha and I would recommend for people who don't like matcha because it straight up tastes like strawberry milk. The matcha is so weak that adding any type of sweetener overtakes the flavor completely. The person who took my order was completely zoned out and started another conversation with other customers after asking what I wanted. It was just super apparent that bro hated this job, or only took it up to chat with the other baristas. read more

If it's Sunday and you're at Studio City Farmer's Market, you're likely to walk by or stop in at Alfred Coffee. It's a pretty popular cafe that gets a lot of foot traffic with a diverse crowd. You'll see different types of people from all backgrounds and ages all dressed comfortably for one thing -- coffee. When my wife and I had gone recently, it wasn't too busy and there was only a minor wait for our order. The staff working were all friendly and our drinks tasted perfect, shout out to Paul! read more

Came in this weekend since I was in the area and have always wanted to try Alfred coffee. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but everyone raves about it and saw their iced vanilla latte was popular so decided I had to try. Very cute interior, a small covered patio with seating, and friendly quick service. There is metered street parking available all around and seems like cars are constantly coming and going so shouldn't be too difficult to find parking during the day. Coffee was great! Not too sweet or too strong but just right. I wish I was more of a coffee lover but I would definitely return and try more of their drinks and pastries. read more

Lovely people but awful coffee. My latte tasted like watered down coffee and was quite expensive for the size.

Alfred's Coffee is one of my go-to spots when I want a reliable, quality drink and a good vibe. Their iced mocha is especially good -- rich, chocolatey, and smooth without being overly sweet. It tastes consistent every time, which I really appreciate. The baristas are also super nice and welcoming, which makes the whole experience better. Service is usually quick, and the atmosphere feels relaxed but upbeat. Definitely a solid place to grab coffee if you want something tasty and friendly service. read more

I'm not big on coffee at all but went with friends before a meeting. We were helped by this really sweet, helpful guy named Tyler who was beyond patient with our group. I was genuinely appreciative for the recommendation and would def be back. Give that man Tyler a a raise!!! read more

Loved my experience at the Alfred Coffee! Parking is AWFUL so I had to park in the neighborhood and walk a bit, but the weather was nice and I got my steps in! Walked in and immediately noticed the good music playing... none of that retail top hits garbage. Ordered the last chive scone (they seem to go quick -- get there early!) and it was soooooooo good! I didn't know the matcha came unsweetened so I had to go back and ask for a side of vanilla and the baristas were very understanding (still had to add a couple splenda but i like it SWEET) Great service all around, the staff is attentive and it seems like a fun environment. Side note -- I'm pretty sure everyone who works here wears glasses. That has to some sort of statistical phenomenon right? read more

If only you knew how often I get this drink, I would say minimum twice a week. The drink is consistent and amazing every time and so is the service. It's always a nice and pleasant feeling to walk in and grab my order. My favorite drink is the iced matcha lavender latte w/oat milk. My favorite matcha drink!! read more

So yummy!! Amazing service and very kind people! The environment is sterile and very esthetically pleasing, perfect opportunity for good pics and great food/drinks! read more

I've given this place a try twice because it's right by the farmers market and so convenient to grab a coffee, but I have to say the cold brew is some of the worst I've ever had. It tastes like water mixed with pennies. Like watery and sharp. The people that work there are not knowledgeable about coffee and cannot answer questions, and the first time I went in, they were straight up dismissive. I highly recommend trying a different coffee shop. There are many good ones in the area. read more

BUT FIRST, COFFEE....TRULY! Since opening on Melrose Place in 2013, Alfred has made waves with sleek decors, killer customer service, and innovative coffee and tea drinks. I frequently go to the Studio City location and I am very excited they will have one walking distance from me in Sherman Oaks. They have your usual coffee and tea drinks but also some unique beverages/food/merch. What I especially like about them is all the partnerships they have and that they make fun drink sleeves to show the collaborations. I went today since they had a collab with CBS TV/Star Trek Picard for the Emmy FYC season and were giving out Earl Gray Tea, which could be made however you liked. This had to have been the best drink I have had!!! I ordered it so that it was like a London Fog Tea Latte (NF Milk and extra sweet). I also went a few days ago for their collab with CBC TV/ Colbert Report and got an Iced Coffee. They made it exactly how I like it. Whatever is in their simple sysyruprip is like magic. If you want to try a new coffee shop, please do give them a try! read more

love alfred's iced matcha's! they're so good. the team could be a bit warmer, always met with the "gen z stare" & a bit of annoyance when coming in. which i get, i'm sure the clientele is a bit of a handful & high maintenance and who really needs a chipper / happy barista? anyway, cute location! great it's close to mcconnels ice cream & joans on third. read more

I'm not sure why my reviews won't stick. Been here often enough to try several items: GIBRALTAR - freaking awesome. Real shot of adrenaline. HOT LATTE - the espresso was strong, the milk was teamed to the perfect temperature. HOT MATCHA LATTE - the matcha does not taste like dirt. Read: good quality matcha tea. Outdoor seating only. I keep forgetting how different the vibe is here. It sounds like a lot of people use this coffee shop as a meeting venue. Parking is street parking only and there is a time of the day when they all suddenly disappear. Service is quick. read more

From my last experience here I must say it's a 100% improvement. 5 stars plus, my order was perfect, friendly service, will be back when in the area again. Love the matcha and love the bagels ! read more

This is hands down the best Alfred. May has single handedly impacted not only my life and well being but I'm positive, so many others. Since she's come on board (way back when - this update is so long overdue). May built rapport with me and others from literally one week to the next. She knew me by face, name (spelled correctly which everyone always butchers) and order. She brightens everyone's day and whatever she's being paid deserves it 10x over. May makes your coffee and tea experience the type that impacts your overall day/life. She's really just the absolute best. This Alfred has always managed to hire great folks but May is so deserving of a little Yelp review recognition for her service. All in all, everything about this Alfred is 5 STAR. I visit quite often. My current fav drinks are their iced oat matchas with simple syrup, or the Oatnog holiday latte. Their 8oz vanilla or oat latte are my other cold day go to's and iced oat lattes on warmer sun shiny days. I order via mobile app a majority of the time but sometimes order in store. Drinks are almost always ready on arrival, if they aren't and May is there her demeanor and kindness make the most impatient person in the world (me!) feel at ease with waiting a few more minutes. It's truly miraculous the vibe and aura she gives off to the community. Fantastic Alfred! Highly recommend tossing into your coffee or tea rotation if you're in the area. I always walk here from home on my neighborhood walk but there is metered parking out front. Thank you May and Alfred Studio City, extremely grateful for you. read more

Iced vanilla latte real vanilla bean rich vanilla flavor definitely recommend .Fast and sufficient service .

The coffee is very mediocre for the price. The matcha was straight up just milk. I tried the burrito and it was super salty and not great at all. To be fair though, I waited to try it so it got a bit cold. The only thing I like is that they have convenient mobile ordering and that they are open before 7. read more

Such a cute spot and their drinks are so well made! I've shown up early and their baristas are always extremely kind! I tried the Chagaccino for the first time and it was delicious! read more

Solid drinks depending on the barista, but a common thing that plagues every Alfred i have been to is poor customer service. There's a full bar of drinks waiting to get expoed by the cashier-- who is the most busy-- while 4 baristas stand behind the bar chatting/laughing. Bit frustrating! read more

Alfred Coffee - Iced vanilla bean latte (almond milk) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Studio City, California

I didn't have a great experience during my first visit, simply due to a drink issue with the iced vanilla latte. I decided to give Alfred another try and yes, this place is so 100% worth it. The vanilla latte is definitely the best I've had in LA. Great coffee paired with slightly sweet but super flavorful and strong vanilla that blends so well with the coffee. It's still refreshing without being overpowering. I'll definitely return for this over and over again read more

Woah, where to start... parking isn't that great, meters in the front and in the back which was packed. Employees were semi friendly couldn't tell if they were being fake or not which is pretty lame. Suggested tip on register which I'm not a fan of. Pay employees fair wages so tips aren't needed for "good service". Paid like almost $60 for 2 burritos, coffee and a bagel which is outrageous regardless of organic or whatever. Taste was pretty bland and coffee was ok. Overall i can say tried it once but that's all. Wont be going back, don't recommend unless your one of those who just like to waste money but there's better places out there you can get coffee and breakfast burritos for half the price. Last thing is the size of those burritos are laughable. read more

Ordered two sugar free vanilla lattes via Postmates with an extra shot (3) and extra ice in both - and honestly, they tasted like straight milk. Barely any coffee flavor at all. For the price and the hype, I expected way better. Disappointing, especially when I paid $31. Not sure if it was a fluke or just how they make them, but definitely not worth it. read more

One of the pricier coffee options but the peppermint mocha and salted maple latte are 2 of the best drinks I've had

Obsessed with everyone who works here. They're so good at remembering my name and I love all the dogs that stop by to say hello! Everyone here is the best! read more

I tried this place on my way to work which is at the other end of Ventura (about a 6 minute drive) and the drink was gone before I even made it. I ordered a small iced matcha with the coconut cloud foam and the cup was 60% ice. I took about four sips and the drink was gone. I paid $7 for the milk substitute and to add the cloud foam. Although the Matcha was very yummy, I would not pay to have 60% ice for $7 in the future. read more

I got the opportunity to try Alfred's once again. Their customer service is great! I tried the Lavender Matcha iced latte this time around with whole milk. It was a very pleasant drink and no clumps. I often have clumps of matcha whenever I visit other cafe's. I'm glad I gave this establishment another try and will probably try their coffee next time. read more

I am only giving this a four because the espresso is very strong. I love lattes, especially vanilla and lavender lattes. They always taste good, but to me, whenever I mix the milk and coffee from Alfred's it is always extremely strong. Otherwise I love it! read more

This is a brand new coffee shop in the outdoor mall on Ventura Blvd. at Coldwater Canyon. We took our daily 3 mile walk and decided to stop here as we hadn't seen it before. My wife got an iced mocha with oat milk and I got a chocolate chunk cookie, both of wish were delish. The server, Alfred R on the receipt, was friendly, helpful and we had a fun conversation. This is definitely a place to go for coffee if you live in the Sherman Oaks/Studio City and there is parking in the back and below. read more

My whole family is addicted to Alfreds Macha si delicious and perfectly made. And we also get the almond croissant every time delicious!

Even though I always get perfect coffee at Alfred's, but today's was a little disappointing. My first sip, which I expected to be sweet and full of vanilla was bitter. I saw that the vanilla syrup was sitting at the bottom, unstirred. I've prepared lattes before and was taught to pour the milk and then to add the flavors and espresso last. Maybe I should order that was next time. I was a bit disappointed but... BUT the banana walnut bread definitely compensated. It was so chewy and spongy and full of chocolate chips with the taste of fresh bananas. I'll be back soon with higher hopes! Thank you guys read more

I'm a big fan of their homemade flavors syrups in an oat milk latte! Just got their homemade lavender latte and it was great - not too sweet. Their breakfast burrito on the other hand tasted like a microwaved burrito you would get at a fast food place (except that it's $12). Definitely will not be getting this again. It had a little avocado, egg, cheese, not tasty hash browns and was definitely microwaved cuz it had some thick rubbery parts as a result. But I'll be back for a latte for sure! read more

Alfred Coffee - No bacon breakfast burrito (SKIP this unless u like bland, microwaved potatoes) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Studio City, California

The staff here are so rude, slow and just gossip all day. Why would anyone ever tip them?? I just left this place and the barista and the girl who was passing off drinks did not seem to care that they had prepared all their drinks and didn't bother to announce any names. And every customer who went up to ask had to double check their order because she was too lazy to check order and items. Be better. read more

I don't get it. Okay? I'm not a coffee snob, I'm not a hipster, so I just don't "get" Alfred coffee. I mean, it's good... But it isn't SPECTACULAR. It seems like good cup of coffee (or whatever drink you're getting) for double the price of what you would pay somewhere else. There's also very little seating (I don't think there's any inside). I understand that most people are coming in, grabbing a coffee, and then heading out, but if I'm going to a coffee shop like Alfred's I want to sit down. If I'm just "on the go" I bring my coffee from home. This is also a very confusing geographical location to review. It's a nightmare to drive to, there's very limited parking anywhere close by (you can park in the Vons lot and walk over), but on the other hand it's very walkable, which is nice. So I guess it all comes out in the wash? "Hip" people love this place. I just must not be "hip". It's good. read more
