    After a doctor's appointment in the area I stopped by to get a cup of cold brew. The parking was a bit challenging but I managed. The interiors are not welcoming but they do have some indoor seating. The ambiance here is cold. I just wanted to get my coffee and leave. However the coffee tasted great and I enjoyed it much. FYI the cold brew was probably the most expensive cold brew I have ever got for this size. It cost me around $7. Service was friendly.They had a few cookies and plain croissants if you want a snack...

    Came here for a weekend coffee break and really enjoyed the vibe. The cafe itself is fantastic, very clean, modern, and surprisingly spacious, making it a great place to relax or get some work done. The drinks and food were a bit of a mixed bag. The Mexican spiced mocha had a great kick, but I found myself wishing for a richer chocolate flavor to balance the spices. Similarly, the lavender in the matcha was unfortunately very subtle, to the point where I couldn't really taste it. On the food side, the ham and cheese croissant was a definite winner, incredibly flaky and delicious. The grilled cheese was also a solid, tasty choice. The only other thing to note is the parking situation. The lot is quite small and tight, which is clearly due to its location, so just be prepared to possibly hunt for a spot. All in all, a very good experience. I'll be back to try more of their pastries and other drinks!

    I love the SAM drink. I stop by on the way to work. The service was very friendly. Would recommend

    Decided to try a new coffee shop and went for this one! Didn't realize they had a small parking lot so we parked along Ventura to be safe. Metered parking to be precise. Walked in and it was eerily quiet? No music playing at all. One customer at their table on their laptop, 2 Baristas, and another couple who were ordering ahead of us. It's very bare in here. I noticed mostly the empty white space and open room and then a broken trash bin in the back by the restrooms. Ordered fairly quick and my drink came out almost immediately. I went for their advertised drink called "The Sam" which was a salted vanilla oat milk latte, got it iced and it was different but super good! Really delicious and didn't expect to love it so much. Definitely want to come back and get another one and possibly try some of their other drinks! IG: @ammysalamii

    Finally got to stop by! It looks like there's no parking and only street parking but there's a parking garage in the back. I parked at the top and no problem. I tried The Sam since it's their most popular and it's a salted vanilla oat latte. It was so good! Just right. I love this kind of latte. Not so sweet, not so milky, and the flavor is there. They only have one size which is a 16oz and that's fine with me. I look forward to coming back and trying their other coffees. Inside is so spacious, clean and minimalist. There's couches and tables as well as tables outside. The guy who helped me I wish I got his name but he gave off this chill vibe, so nice. Happy I got to finally come in and can't wait to come back again!

    Lover addict latte with oat milk!

    So good I forgot to take a pic before drinking every last sip. Do yourself a big fat favor and go get the lover addict with oat milk

    Came here a couple of times, and got their SAM special - smooth, not too sweet, not too strong, just right! It's my "go to" when I needed a pick me up at work!

    Due to the numbers of stars on yelp, I drove out to get coffee here. Store was sparse, coffee was average, service was average.

In a location with an ever-shifting number of street people who may occasionally cause grief, all condiments are kept behind the counter, which needles the personal customization experience a touch (though it's understandable). Coffee here (which I always get iced) is robustly flavored without being bitter. Though I'm not the kind of aficionado others may claim to be, even I can appreciate this Java is far better than what's being served at Starbucks. However, food items are lagging far behind. The Cheddar & Jalapeño Croissant, previously pretty well-packed with cheese and peppers and sporting a goodly hit of heat, has been revamped and replaced by a dry, very mass-produced crescent with hardly any cheese or peppers, and no spice; really, barely any flavor at all, spicy or not. Other breakfast items on display failed to ignite much of a spark in me, and their version of a McMuffin looked especially unappealing in its display case packaging. So, the food is a bit of a bust, but the coffee is top notch, and the cafe areas are comfortable and well lit. Add in the free WiFi, and this is a good place to relax, chat with friends, watch a game or do some work. Maybe just sneak in a cruller from Winchell's across the street to go with your cup of Joe.

I ordered the Matchaga - described as a matcha + functional mushroom drink blended with chaga, reishi, and lion's mane mushrooms, vanilla, monk fruit, and a dash of strawberry. I got mine with oat milk, which they don't charge extra for. I liked this location with its natural lighting and indoor/outdoor seating arrangement. You can park in the back as well with a door that leads to the parking lot. The matchaga (12 oz $7.50) had just the right amount of sweetness with NO SUGAR. Since I'm trying to cut out sugar these days, this was a welcome change. The matcha wasn't too bitter and there was just the hint of mushroom, in fact I could barely taste it. When it is busy, you may have to wait awhile, although my daughter got her iced strawberry matcha latte right away. Would totally return!

Metered parking around the area or free parking deeper in the residential area. Pretty big cafe, they have a decent amount of seating. Great spot to meet up with someone. Alfred has lots of options, both espresso and matcha, standard and specialty ones too like lavender or strawberry. I usually love their vanilla bean latte but this time I went with an iced matcha. I also love that they have a dairy-free cloud/cream top so folks who are dairy-free or vegan can enjoy it too. I went without it this time to cut down on cost but am excited to try it in the future! I'm also really excited to try their peaches n cream matcha too, it sounds so good!
