I've suspected this was coming for a while. The owners of Enigma have sold the Tarzana location…read more It's now known as Flavorite Cafe. The new owner, Leon, seems to be a nice gentleman who's trying to get a grasp on both his clientele and the business and make it a smooth transition. He's increased the selection of pastries and food that's available. Service does seem to be a little slower so far. But since the same morning shift barista was working there today, my latte was as good as always.

We were trying to get to Laidrey when I remembered a cute little shop in a plaza a minute north. I…read moreconvinced my husband to check out this spot since we hadn't been here before. The shop is located in a plaza with decent parking spots. I can imagine on a busy day it can be hard to park here! Which was already a good start to our experience since Laidrey has terrible parking (no offense). I love Laidrey but wanted to give a chance to a place I haven't tried before. Upon entrance, we were greeted with a warm and pleasant "good morning!" The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The cashier/barista was the sweetest girl who gave me helpful tips on what to get. There was an older gentlemen who walked us through on the different pastries. He told us what to get warmed up and what would taste good with the coffee. I'm so glad the staff had actual good tips because man was everything DELICIOUS. The potato croquette I had was mind blowing! It was savory with hints of cumin and a little bit of spice which you can't really get something like this at regular coffee shops. My FAVORITE! The sweetened puff pastry with cheese felt decadent and good with the coffee but boy did it fill me up immediately! The savory feta pastry was something my husband ordered which he seemed to really like but wasn't a personal favorite of mine. The Spiced Mexican Mocha was smooth and creamy. My husband ordered this and it was perfectly up to his speed! I ordered "The Sam" which is a salted vanilla oat latte. I was so excited because it already had oat milk in it! This latte was absolutely incredible and she even added the aesthetic foam art heart to it. Overall, the environment was wholesome and it's a very spacious shop. Not too loud or crowded for me. I would definitely come back and maybe even do some office work here while enjoying my potato croquette!!

The two ladies working the front worked at a good pace and gave good customer service. There was…read morestill a bit of a wait for drinks but the quality is still good. I like how clean and managed this branch was. Several tables to sit at, more for 1-2 people but there was a couple of 4-seater tables and a lot of seats to sit at outside. Parking wasn't too bad, but you can enter only from the right. I think this spot is a good place to study, there's nice and relaxing music playing at a good volume but I think that you need to make sure your devices are fully charged because there are no outlets here. Overall a solid place to do work because of the AC especially on a hot day and the vanilla ice blended drink I got was very creamy and at the right texture and thickness!! It was nice to come here for the first time and definitely will be in my radar if I'm in the area. To use the bathroom, you need a code. Only reason I'm removing a star is because the bathroom smelled terrible and stuffy, and even worse, there was no soap in the soap dispensers and there was no toilet paper at all!!

The employees at this Coffee Bean have always been among the friendliest humans alive, and they…read morework very hard to keep the place clean and running smoothly. 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.

The Coffee Queen has met one of her favorite new crushes...Yes, Aurora Coffee & Creamery!…read more Such a cute place inside with a nice covered patio as well. The barista and owner Mesha, could not have been nicer! He answered all of our questions and knew exactly how to make our drinks to our personal taste. We ordered: *Crème brûlée Ice latte which Mesha made for me so I could taste the coffee and not too sweet! It was honestly amazing!!!! The sweetness with the espresso made for the perfect combo. *Black Raspberry Cloud- no longer on the menu but they went out of their way to make this for my daughter! It was perfect! Saved to my "Coffee Lovers Unite" Collection on Yelp! *Parking can get tricky here. There is a lot in the back that charges but if you are in and out it won't cost much! They give out parking tickets on the side street all day long so READ THE SIGNS! You can also park across the street by "Raising Cane's" for free! ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

Lots of variety of traditional Jewish delights, Babka, Hamamtashen, Rugelach, Challah, Russian Tea Cake (a must have) plus all the cookies and danish you can imagine. It's all very good and will kill any dieting plans you had. They have added a selection of Ube baked goods, but not sure why or how that fits with the old school Jewish bakery theme, but it's there. I have no particular interest in that. As far as service, its alway fairly busy, but line moves fairly fast. The staff has morfed to mostly very young counter people that have zero interpersonal skills and are not friendly. The only warmth you will get here is freshly baked Challah. Still worth a visit.

Obviously I'm a fan with this review being my second or third update. They are back to 5 stars…read morebecause my last three visits were A+ in my book, both in service and quality of their drinks and pastries. I appreciate when businesses take reviews seriously and make adjustments as needed. Because the service is back to great! But their food and beverages have always been great, and consistently! And did I mention their pastries are so good? Bakery-quality good. I hope they keep their baker!! I will keep posting new photos, even if it's the same drink I love here, to show proof of their consistency Well done!

Was in town for the weekend and was looking for a good coffee spot and came across Re Coffee…read more The spot looked really interesting in decor and setup and the pictures of these foam topped drinks; aka the Einspanner Latte. Instantly grabbed my attention and I had to try. Ordered: Coconut Cream Top ($8) Vanilla Einspanner Latte - iced ($7) Vanilla Einspanner Latte- hot ($7) Both drinks were delicious but the Vanilla Einspanner Latte was amazing. I let my girlfriend try it who had ordered the Coconut Cream Top, and she loved it as well. The cream top was the perfect amount of sweet and was really lite; making it the perfect cap (or top) to a coffee drink. We liked it so much we made sure to come back and each order one before heading back out of town, lol. It's official my favorite coffee drink now and I hope I can find a coffee establishment back home, that can do somethinf similar. Overall: Great coffee shop with amazing drinks. I would 100% come back if ever back in the Woodland Hills area again.

What I love about SF Coffee Company is one that all their locations are consistent with their…read moredrinks and especially food and two, I'd rather support a smaller coffee place than the BIGBUCKS coffee places. This location is so cute, its tucked into a small shopping center on Reseda and Vanowen and I love how decorated the shop as well, its consistent as well with their other locations and there was plenty of parking but I do see that parking lot can get congested since theres an El Pollo Loco drive thru and a 7/11. Walked in around 11am today and was instantly greeted and they have kiosk available but the gentleman behind the counter said he could assist me when I was ready. I ordered a drink from their summer menu the cherry vanilla latte iced, its bomb and next I have to try their version of the dirty Dr. Pepper with espresso and I wanted their delicious BLTA but they were out of avocados ='( so I went with the grilled cheese with bacon and added tomatoes and their salsa. Their salsa is fire and I do know where they get it from but my lips are sealed. So, if you're in the area, like supporting smaller coffee shops, give them a shoot. FYI, they also have online ordering and I believe delivery.

Their coffee has never disappointed! Sometimes I grab the BLTA which is really great for a quick bite. The service is great everytime and each barista is so kind, they really make you feel at home. I really appreciate the team they have built there. Shout out my man Ethan. The overall vibe inside is always super chill, they welcome you to work on your laptop or come hang out with friends, and the music in there is always hitting. Thank you SFCC for what you do for the community

Just a clean, well-balanced coffee drink. I'd give the coffee itself a solid 4/5. What really stood out though was the customer service. The barista was super helpful in guiding us through the menu, which I always appreciate. That kind of warmth makes a difference! We'd definitely come back when we're in the area. If this review helped, a thumbs up means a lot!

As expected, the coffee shop was full and almost every seat was taken so I ended up taking my order to go. It was a beautiful morning, too so even the seating outside was full (yay for supporting local!) My drink and croissant were perfection, as always, and the service was great. Definitely recommend both locations but if you're looking to dine in or work remotely, better chances at finding a seat in Tarzana as that location is bigger.

I didn't want to lose my park at the school so I decided to walk to Alfred to grab something to eat and drink for my youngest son. It's located on Ventura Blvd so there is limited parking out front. However, there is parking on the side street Paso Robles Ave which is convenient. Walking into the coffee shop, it was clean and pretty modern, walking through the patio area first to get to the inside. The setup is nice but it's small and can get crowded fast! The people at the front register were great. They were super helpful and even joked around with my son as he was ordering. We decided to go with the bacon breakfast burrito, the turkey sandwich, the pog juice and a strawberry lemonade. The food was good and they called our name in a reasonable time so the wait wasn't bad. The only thing I feel could be better, and they may be working on this, is if they could include more food items. If they did this, it would give Starbucks a run for their money. My kids like going to Starbucks for all of their food items and we kill two birds with one stone. That may not be their goal but if I could easily grab what I need and grab them a breakfast from here in the mornings, that would eliminate several morning stops for me lol. Overall, I like Alfred! There's a lot of potential here and I'm here for it! OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

So i'm not usually the type of person that comes on this app to leave a poor review but this one…read morehad to be done. I want to start with the positive: the staff is absolutely amazing and hard working. They're very attentive and were great. Negative: the matcha is decent (nothing amazing but also not terrible) Where I'm extremely disappointed is the partnership with Wake and Late. I order wake and late weekly through postmates but today I decided to grab a burrito from Alfreds (as they have a partnership). This is the worst idea I could have made. The burrito tasted like a slight better LAUSD breakfast burrito. There were no tots, but instead cut up potato pieces, the egg was overcooked, the steak tasted more like sausage and it felt like it was microwaved. This was genuinely the most disappointing experience I could have had.

This is my neighborhood specialty coffee spot with amazing lunch and breakfast…read more I have a hard time deciding what to eat when I get here: The chilaquiles. The kids breakfast. The arugula egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. The turkey Sammich on a pretzel bun, basically everything here is delicious. I'm not a huge fan of the mocha is my only gripe here but the butterscotch latte is fine for the sweet tooth. If you have dairy concerns, they got all plenty of alternative options. The espresso is proper, the workers are kind, the interior is clean and not cluttered. The prices are fair and the pastries are delicious. This is a great cafe to go have a casual lunch or breakfast at and it will hit all the marks to satisfy one's soul. Thanks for existing near me, I wish it was open later but it's understandable why coffee places don't stay open for dinner. Call ahead or use the website to order if you're in a hurry, they have a pickup window for that! Also you get cash app points here too!

We haven't had the chance to try their food yet, but everything looks and smells so delicious!…read more The service is always friendly and quick, and the ambiance is warm, cozy, and welcoming. My husband and I have been here many times after our weekly walk at Lake Balboa Park, and treating ourselves to one of their hot or iced coffees has become our favorite weekend tradition. It's the perfect way to end the weekend and unwind. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. You won't be disappointed!
