YEA!!! the LA cafe culture is NOT ur regular latte... they're desserts that spike ur blood sugar that we use the "coffee" as a guise for excuse. almond milk is healthy, duh. bad financial decisions mean trying all the homemade syrups and unique flavors combos and UGH CREAMY FOAMS??? the praline coffee was so hazelnutty and ugh i love toffee/caramel flavors. the brown sugar syrup added the perfect sweetness and they even had decaf YASSS (5pm latte). The snow matcha was also perfectly potent, smooth, and THE VANILLA FLAVOR DOESNT PLAY!! And don't even get me started on the SERVICE. the staff are INCREDIBLY SWEET and made me feel so welcomed i wanted to stay there forever. will be back to buy a latte instead of using EBT on food!! :P

I ordered the Magnolia which is their espresso cloud drink and my husband got the Balboa which is their matcha cloud drink. The coffee was good and I enjoyed the house made Mexican vanilla cream top. It was very creamy and not as sweet as I thought it would be. The staff were friendly and professional. Inside is nice and they have a little bar top area. This place gets very packed. There was a line out the door when we went. Parking isn't the best. We had to find a spot in one of the residential areas nearby.

Mike, the…read moregentleman who took my order and made my (delicious) smoothie was happy to have me while I sat and worked on my laptop for a couple hours. During that time, I witnessed this man give every customer some of the warmest, kindest, most friendly treatment I've ever seen. 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. I was really, really cold the entire time I was there, but it's January and I'm in a skirt, so that one is on me. The music kinda sucked but I see no reason to dock a star for that.

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.

Dropped by on a weekend and had to park on the street like normal anywhere in LA. We walked down the street to find a very, very busy cafe and super packed but that's a sign, right? Absolutely. 100%. We hopped in line to order and a girl from afar complimented our pokemon shirts lol immediately put a smile on my face. We ordered and the drinks came out pretty quick! Got the Saint Latte and Pistachio Latte and let me tell you. This is hands down the best pistachio latte I've ever had!! Super creamy and the strongness was perfect. They have lots of seating inside and out but we enjoyed ours to go (went to hang out at universal studios for the day). Great spot and can't wait to visit again!! IG: @ammysalamii

Peaceful but lively/the patio is great for peoplewatching and letting inspiration hit you!! The coffee is yummy (duh) but beyond that the staff is so lovely, everyone who works here is so sweet and goes above and beyond (I would shout everyone out individually but there's literally just too many awesome people), always asking how my day's going and if I have anything fun coming up :) This place was the first coffee shop where the baristas learned my name and therefore I would simply lay down my life for them. The manager, Armanda, runs this place like the Navy, making sure the good vibes are paired with excellent service & quick wait times for your latte. I could probably write a book with all the good things I have to say about this place (I already literallyyyy wrote my first self-published book sitting outside here lol) tldr; I love u Alfred Coffee Studio City!!!!!

Parking: It is a nightmare but that's to be expected in LA. There is metered parking and some paid…read moreparking lots. 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.

The…read morevibe is calm and welcoming, and everything feels thoughtfully done, from the space to the menu. I love their pastries, full stop. They are consistently fresh and craveable, and somehow manage to feel indulgent without being heavy. The Just Egg tartine is also a standout. It's satisfying, flavorful, and exactly what I want when I need a real breakfast that still feels a little special. And the lattes are truly amazing. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, and made with care. They also absolutely nail the seasonal drinks. The Cookie Latte is currently my favorite. It's cozy, dessert-like in the best way, and still tastes like coffee, not syrup. If you want a spot that gets it right every time, Coffee and Plants is it. Great food, great drinks, and a genuinely lovely place to hang out.

The girl at the register asked me if I've had it before- I guess people order it without realizing it's made with coconut water (?)- I said I've had it at a different coffee shop and really liked it. It comes topped with a cloud of matcha cream. I like that it's refreshing without being overly sweet. That being said, a 12oz cup was $8 not including tip. The prices felt pretty steep if I'm being totally honest. The drink was delicious but this isn't a place I'd order from on a regular basis (in this economy?!). Overall, it was a nice, refreshing treat. The ambiance is lovely- they have windows that open up all around the shop and peek over an outdoor seating area. Super cute vibe overall.

It's nestled amongst a residential area, making it a great place to grab a coffee and go for a stroll, wandering through the neighborhood.

I got an iced coconut macadamia nut latte (seasonal) half sweet with macadamia milk. I love that they have Mac milk as a dairy-free milk alternative, not just oat and almond. It was tasty! And certainly not too sweet. I'd definitely get it again.
