Don't know what happened but the seating is locked up so not much of a café or place to study, which loses its appeal. Drinks were made fast, but I wasn't allowed to ask for no ice in one of my drinks? I even prefaced that I understand and accept the fact that my drink will look less than what I paid for. I'm all for no adjustments such as lite, med, heavy ice, but to ask for no ice when I want to save it for later and be told no is beyond me. Regardless of the reason I think it's fair to at least have that option.

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.

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.

Bagel comes out crushed flat from a panini press.. I inquire as to why and they said "Oh we don't have a toaster." Follow up visit: I ask is there any way you can heat up the bagel without panini pressing it. "Let me check with the kitchen." "No, only option is to grill it." Meanwhile this is a restaurant that has fresh bread, bagels, pastry, bacon. Charging $7.50 for a bagel with cream cheese is already at the upper upper end of the price range for such a simple item. Not having a toaster back there is crazy. As is not offering to replace the crushed paper thin bagel. As is not providing a warning when ordering your bagel toasted that it will be presented as a crushed bagel chip like bagel post press. As is not understanding this routine request.

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...
