    Starbucks coffee on campus
    Madie D.

    Classic study spot, great prices, STARBUCKS coffee!! The only reason I am giving it a 4/5 stars is because they do not serve their ~delicious~ chicken sandwiches until 10 or 11am and the time at which they begin serving them is variable My friends and I are HUGE CHICKEN SANDO FANS and we experience severe depression every time we order one but are told to wait another hour or more. This place would be a solid 5/5 stars if they served their sandwiches from open to close and did not provide misleading information about the sandwich availability time frame.

    Nicer than Il Tram when it was here, opened August 2019

    The change over is complete for Anderson's Cafe, it transitioned to "Anderson's Cafe" in August 2019 from Il Tramazino and I think it's for the better. They serve Starbucks Coffee here which is nice to know you're getting that coffee compared to other coffee at the other cafes on campus, plus they have the cold brew coffee here which I enjoy. The location is actually clean compared to what it was before, like people care. When Il Tram was there it was always dirty. The food selection is different also, they have soups and salads still but they're better sounding I think- I'll update my review after trying them - and their danishes and donut case was clean and filled still around 2pm when we went. The exterior has plenty of seating to enjoy the LA weather or on the off chance you're here when it rains there's a good amount of seating in the cafe and in the study room attached to it. What's nice is it's also a quick walk from Royce Hall if you want to get a coffee before the show, it's nice that they're open from 7a-7p, where if you're catching a 7p or 8p show you can get here a little earlier, park in lot 5 and get a coffee before (avoid paying the higher costs of concessions ;) Enjoy!

    Boondocks is easily one of my favorite coffee spots in LA. First impressions, the atmosphere is…read morerelaxed, inviting, and communal. I can see why students love being there. Baristas are on point, too. If you don't know exactly what to get, let them guide you. They know their stuff. I've tried the Salted Latik, Cinnamon Turon, Ubeng Ube, and Matchang Matcha. The flavors were subtle, balanced, and thoughtfully executed. They also have all the milk substitutes. Important! Aside from the coffee, my wife and I picked up some of their merch. The fit on the crop tees is perfect and still solid after a few cycles in the wash. This is one of those rare brands you genuinely love to support because they stay true to their mission. Great coffee, rooted in heritage, and for the culture. 10/10 highly recommend.

    One thing about me is I love an Asian American-inspired coffee shop, so this was right up my alley…read moreand perfect since I was at UCLA and in need of a place to grab a coffee with a friend. WHAT I ORDERED: Salted latik latte THE DRINK: The espresso was very well done, and I think the balance with the amount of milk and cream was really good! I will say that the latik syrup was a little subtle (it sweetened my drink perfectly but would have liked a stronger flavor), and I could have done with a little more salt, but not an egregious complaint. SERVICE: Great! Drink didn't take too long. VIBES: This place was gorgeous! The aesthetic was pretty inviting, and I loved the variety of seating, including a comfy couch. I saw lots of people doing work so I assume there's wi-fi, though not all the seating is set up as if it were geared for long work sessions (i.e., low tables, though there were one or two regular tables too). Not too loud, and no restrictions on laptops that I saw. BOTTOM LINE: I definitely want to come back to try the other signature drinks - they looked super interesting! And perhaps will have to be a go-to when I'm in Westwood.

    We got so lucky with parking!!! Someone left right when we came, and we could park right in front…read moreof the cafe on the street. Street parking is hard hard to find. :-( Came on a Saturday around 10:30 AM and it was PACKED, but the line moved surprisingly fast and we only waited around 10 minutes. We got the Matcha Maple Top and Okinawa Cold Foam Matcha. I was honestly really disappointed because I had heard great reviews!! The matcha was way too milky for my liking and lacked that strong matcha flavor I usually look for.... The Maple Top especially barely tasted like matcha at all. Matcha flavor got lost from the maple... The Okinawa Cold Foam was slightly better, but still not strong enough. If you like sweeter, milkier matchas this might be your thing, but I personally prefer a stronger matcha-forward drink. For around $8 a matcha, I expected a lot more. Unfortunately I don't think I'd come back.

    i should've spotted a corporate slop coffee chain from a mile away and ran :/…read more alfred's is like... OKAY. nothing to rave about. it's there when you wanna feel superior over ur friends getting starbucks across the street. the price? ALOT LMFAO. my tiny drink (smallest size btw) cost TEN DOLLARS. this gives me a love/hate relationship with LA and their coffee scene because that is ridiculous. all because i asked for an extra shot of matcha... a DOLLAR. i'm from the IE and no drink costs more than 8 bucks with adjustments, which is still a lot but at least they're small businesses. i heard from my friend other Alfred's have much greener matches, because even with my extra shot it wasn't as potent. nonetheless, the peach syrup was absolutely delicious and not artificial at all.... BUT THERE WASNT ENOUGH. i had to ask for extra syrup when my friend's same order was initially sweeter. the coconut foam was yummy too, but it's just the lack of consistency and attention to detail that cannot justify the really STEEP price of this place. any other small-business would weigh out the matcha, syrups, make sure the price is reasonable (i think), and so forth. i don't think i'll be back to alfred's westwood location, but if the desire for fruity milk and the slightest bit of matcha flavor hits me, maybe another location would do...

They had a Disney playlist playing which gave it a fun vibe. I placed my order through the app and it was ready by the time I arrived. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and it was so good! Parking can be a bit tricky since it's mostly metered parking in the area.
