Crema's Take
“Alfred's signature drinks like the iced salted maple latte and matcha colada have loyal fans, and pastries are genuinely fresh, but the 3.9 rating reflects real inconsistency: several reviewers complained about uncomfortable seating, hard-to-read menus, and uneven coffee quality. Staff friendliness seems to be the most reliable thing here, which matters for a casual hangout spot, but you're taking a gamble on whether the coffee will land. Go if you're drawn by their creative drinks and don't mind the hit-or-miss atmosphere; skip it if you're looking for reliable, quality espresso.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

I've been a fan of Alfred since moving to LA the beginning of this year. I came in to this one in particular for their grand opening and I just gotta say. The matcha colada is my favorite. The vibe of the store is super cute, and it just feels very cozy. Definitely a great place…
