Jaz is very sweet and patience! Amazing service under busy conditions and being the only cashier/barista.

The best drink!.. dry iced vanilla America half cookie butter. Light caramel drizzle and a splash of oat milk (thank u James!)

It's been a minute! It's always a delight to stop at this location. The coffee shop is always clean and the staff is always have a smile on their face!

Caramel Cold Brew - note the extreme amount of syrup on the sides and pooling to the bottom
Raegan T.

This location specifically is not bad, it's your run of the mill CBTL. The inside is small and clean, and there's plenty of outdoor seating and parking. My issue is probably with all Coffee Beans I visit in general. First off, prices have gone way up since I was consistently ordering last year and before. Maybe it's because of tariffs but IDK. $6-7 for a cold brew is wild. And in terms of the quality of a Caramel Cold Brew (with cream cap), I might as well go to Dunkin Donuts. Not only did another location and maybe all Coffee Beans I've gone to let me down in this regard, but DANG do they overdo it with syrups. Maybe the regular customer base CRAVES that over sweetened diabetic cocktail of more sugar and milk than actual coffee, but cmon! Can employees prioritize the coffee unless otherwise stated? Why are we defaulting to dumping sweeteners in peoples' drinks? Some of us are healthy or trying to be. I even NOTED "less syrup please" since there was no option to do half syrup, not like it probably would have mattered anyways. I believe this is an overall issue with the company and maybe training protocols. I don't remember it being this way in the past! Is CBTL going downhill?? Note my image. Look at all the syrup pooling around the walls of the cup and into the bottom. I had to go home and add water and milk to about 4 oz of the concoction and it was STILL SWEET. Doesn't even taste like coffee at that point. This will be my last time ordering a premade drink. I'll have to customize something plain..

I could not eat this. So so salty
Erika R.

Overall bad experience. Came here a Sunday morning. Drink was messed up so they remade it. My avocado toast had an insane amount of salty seasoning, was not able to eat that. Before leaving i tried to use the restroom, no toilet paper, no seat covers, no paper towels nothing. Unable to stay for them to be remaking things, I had already placed the order thru the app and it wasn't even ready when I got there, wasted time and money. Did they pour the whole bottle of seasoning on there, or is it just me?

I was craving something warm after a long chilly hike and decided to pop inside! Now keep the mind. I don't usually come to any coffee spots just because of how high the prices are. But I decided to give this place a chance. I ordered a hot Cocoa with whipped cream and Carmel. And my friend got the vanilla latte. The Coco was very tasty and have the right amount of sweetness. But I do think it could have had a deeper chocolate taste. It was also five dollars so I expected a little bit more for that price. The bathroom was cold only and inside. It was all right, but not the cleanest I could have been. It's a nice place to sit down and have a relaxing drink. But the prices are sky high. The service was pretty friendly and fast though and the christmas decor looked very charming.

this much ice for a large tiramisu is not fair

i love coffee bean more then starbucks but if i ask for easy ice that means easy ice not too much ice. i love the service very much both lady behind counter are very polite

I'm not usually a Coffee Bean gal. I worked as a barista for Starschmucks Coffee for about 6 years, and am a SoCal transplant so I'm primed for other coffee competitors, such as my NorCal faves - Philz & Blue Bottle Coffee. BUT... I definitely appreciate the variety Coffee Bean has to offer - such as their Vietnamese-inspired Vietnamese cold brew latte!? Stopped here after my appointment at The Vivid Salon (see my review for the lash lift I got there) for a caffeine fix, and the Vietnamese cold brew latte hit the spot! Also nearby is Patch Tattoo Therapy - appointment only - featured in my reviews for my first ever tattoo! I also ordered a Mango cold brew tea to bring home to my boyfriend, which he enjoyed as well, but likely would have requested less sugar if we knew it came pretty sweet. The staff greeted me upon arrival and my drinks were ready in no time. Docked a star because the cafe wasn't too busy, and some of the tables looked like they needed a wipe down. There's ample parking, and wifi here, so it seems like a good place to study, or get some work done.

This shop is located in a very convenient location with excellent parking in their strip mall lot. The staff was friendly and I was very excited about my buy one/get one free drink on Veterans Day weekend.

Yeng M.

I've been coming here for years. I hardly asked them remake my drink if taste not to their standards. I love this location. The staff are nice. Except today when I overheard Mia and Emma made a side comment about me and my order which pissed me off. They didn't know I overheard them. I spend minimum $600 monthly at this store for years. And to be treated like that makes me very upset. These baristas should go through another customer service training. No loyal and paying customers deserve that kind of treatment.

The staff are super friendly and nice gabby, emma, vanessa, erika, robert, and daniel work very quickly to provide the food and drinks. The location is always clean and with great vibes, best way to start the morning. Thank you Tarzana CB!

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!!

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.

Went for the first time today and I'm honestly blown away! I ordered the crème brûlée iced latte,…read moreand my son got the ice cream, everything was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. I can't believe it took me this long to discover this place! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

I found this place through Yelp and based on everyone's photos, it looked super cute and delicious!…read more This is on Ventura so that alone is a pain to find parking. I turned into the small street nearby but all the street parking was full and there was a gated parking lot right behind the building with the gate to enter open but the gate to exit closed so I didn't want to have another bad experience and avoided it altogether. Swung around the front and got lucky with metered parking. Their entrance is on the side despite all the signs and windows up front. Walked into an empty shop, 1 worker guy greeted us and took our order. This place had a lot of seating but felt more like a dessert place and based on my drink, it was absolutely that. I got the Creme Brulee latte and it was torched at the top like you'd expect so that was cool. Gorgeous decoration which is great for photo ops. Once the guy gave me my drink, he basically disappeared to the back. I took my photos and left. It was good but tasted like melted coffee ice cream. The sweetness was over the top and the more I drank it, the more I was getting a crazy sugar rush and it did not mix well with the heat that day. Couldn't even finish it but if you are a child or someone who enjoys super sweet things, then this is for you. Sadly it isn't for me! IG: @ammysalamii

Founded in Melrose Place in 2013, Alfred Coffee specializes in matcha drinks but also has coffee…read more on the menu along with breakfast burritos and pastries. 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!

Love that an Alfred opened up in Encino! It's right by a small park too which is a nice one to walk…read morearound. 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!

A friend took me here the other day for some grub and yap. I absolutely love the interior. I only…read morewish it was more gothy inside. But there are some nice velvet chairs and things. Plus the branding is cool. Anyway, onto the food and drinks. I ordered an iced matcha and the Marigold sandwich. The matcha was perfect honestly because they gave the option of sweetened or unsweetened. Also, the sandwich was delicious. I was so excited to see something with turkey bacon by default and not regular bacon since I can't have pork. The spread they use on there is really yummy. The menu has a lot of interesting flavors on it. There are some Korean-inspired dishes that I definitely want to try like the Kimchi breakfast tacos. Can't wait to go back! Note: 1. Plenty of seating inside and outside under a tent of sorts. 2. Plus they have a speaker outside so you can hear when your order is called. 3. There's a small parking lot but also a residential area next to it where there's street parking.

That said, the Madagascar vanilla latte was really good - smooth, slightly sweet, and definitely something I'd order again. The burritos were a highlight!! super big portions and satisfying. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality and size, which is always a plus. Staff was nice and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I'd come back, especially for the burritos and that vanilla latte!
