Alfred Coffee
3835 Cross Creek Rd #7, Malibu, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked near Malibu's Whole Foods, Alfred Coffee serves up their signature World Famous Hot Vanilla Latte alongside thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks and creamy matcha lattes that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and refinement. The bright patio setting and genuinely warm baristas create an unpretentious escape from chain coffee culture, where even simple orders like hot chocolate taste noticeably better thanks to quality ingredients and real care. Pair any drink with their exceptional pastries—locals rave about the cinnamon croissant—and you've got the kind of specialty coffee experience that justifies the trip.”

Wow. Where do I even start? This is everything a coffee shop should be. With excellent artisan coffee, brewed by the kindest and most genuine people, to scrumptious pastries that pair well and lift you up, to food that can fuel your day in the best way-they do it right. They always have the best music playing, foster a welcoming atmosphere consistently, and provide the same sweetness and quality as what's in their products. It's always clean and you always feel seen at the Alfred Coffee in Malibu. Thank you endlessly to the whole team who always make my day
I recently tried Alfred’s World Famous Hot Vanilla Latte with oat milk and a touch of salt, and wow—what a treat. The Experience First sip:** Warm, comforting vanilla that feels both rich and balanced. The oat milk gives a creamy, smooth texture without heaviness. Flavor profile:** Sweet vanilla notes mingle beautifully with a hint of salt, which enhances the overall sweetness and adds a subtle caramel-like finish. Texture:** Silky and velvety, thanks to the oat milk. The foam sits nicely on top, inviting a slow, savoring sip. Why it stood out The salted vanilla combination is elevated rather than saccharine. It creates a nuanced flavor that feels luxurious yet approachable. The drink feels well-crafted: from the temperature to the consistency of the foam, it’s clearly made with care. Mood booster It’s the kind of coffee that makes you pause and appreciate the small moments—perfect for a little mood lift or a moment of reflection during a busy day. Verdict If you’re in the mood for a cozy, indulgent latte with a modern twist, the World Famous Hot Vanilla Latte with oat milk and salted is worth a try. It’s a well-balanced treat that pairs comfort with a touch of sophistication.
There is no indoor seating. But there’s a cute patio. The coffee was delicious as always (I’ve had it at the Marina del ray location). The cinnamon croissant was amazing. Plenty of parking.
I came here to avoid Starbucks and to try something new . I got something that was simple a hot chocolate and honestly tasted way better than the Starbucks one. I also tried the matcha iced with strawberry and it was pretty good. I also have iced matcha latte and it was pretty good. It is a bit cheaper than Starbucks . The staff isn’t the best but they aren’t the worse either. I can careless how they look or react to me ordering I’m still come here. Update I came here today and Shadi was the best . Best customer service ever since she was nice and was multitasking!
Stopped by while visiting Whole Foods in Malibu. Ordered a cafe latte and iced strawberry matcha latte (half sweet) as well as a few pastries. My favorite is the matcha latte, it was not too sweet and tasty. We also ordered a matcha croissant (6/10), it was just okay. The chocolate chip cookie was good.
