Alfred Coffee

not the busiest Cafe I've been to but the Uber orders were out of control where it kind of affected the time I got my coffee even though there was no line and I ordered right away I swear we still have to wait wait a while to receive our to americanos and one iced latte because I swear there was like eight Uber orders that had to be ready for pickup. it seems like they had the design and architecture and functional space laid out pretty nicely but still there was a sense of there was an element missing that had me questioning why a place with such a good location and space layout could make me feel this way and it might be the vibe of the employees or it might be the the beverage refrigerator with semi 711 drinks but I was looking for more. another thing to know is that this place even though you want to dine in they don't have any glass or ceramic vessels for your drinks. which made me not feel wanted to enjoy my holistic morning ritual here sitting down where I should feel at home all this review and I haven't even took a sip of my coffee yet which right now my first sip of this iced latte is tremendously delicious the Americano I got is even more delicious than I could ever imagine a smooth medium roast Bean that actually taste like a French press how oddly satisfying

Came in today to grab a cup of Joe and pick up a too good to go bag on my way to work. And I quickly remembered why my family and I stopped stopping by here. I walked in granted maybe about 20 minutes before closing I was not greeted or asked if I needed help as I was waiting for about five minutes at the pick up counter. All the employees granted were busy doing whatever they were doing, but the barista closest to me. Who’s later name I learned was Kevin, did not come off friendly at all. Now I get it maybe he was annoyed because there were a small group of people and myself walking in about 20 minutes before closing but still nonetheless Kevin should have at least said hello. The drinks here are always good and like I’ve said it before And my other Alfred review reviews, Alfred gives fantastic to get to go bags. But the customer service here has always been terrible. I hope Kevin was able to enjoy the rest of his day and possibly has a day off tomorrow.

Indulge in freshly baked, chewy Chocolate Raspberry Muffin and a soft, warm center. Each Muffins is crafted from high-quality ingredients. Pair them with rich, aromatic coffee that’s brewed from ethically sourced beans, delivering a robust flavor profile that's perfectly balanced, Iced Latte. Enjoy the delightful combination of a satisfying meal and invigorating beverage that elevates your morning or afternoon snack experience.

Unlike most other Alfred coffee locations in the area, the staff here at BH doesn’t seem to know or care about the difference between a flat white, a cappuccino or a Gibraltar. You’ll get whichever one they feel like making, instead of what you order. Based on my 5 orders over the last month at this location.

Great coffee shop just off Rodeo Drive on San Monica Blvd

Visiting from Toronto, Canada and I truly enjoyed my visit to Alfred Coffee. Located not to far from my hotel The Maybourne and makes for a good morning walk. Rob was amazing in the short time we got to chat and made me feel at home. Atmosphere is great as there's lots of seating and visually appealing items located throughout the store. Highly recommended if you're seeking a neat coffee shop nearby.

Fast and easy mobile order! My coffee was perfect—great flavor and made just right. Love how quick and convenient it was.

Maya was a phenomenal host and helped us order our coffee and as well worked out our Yelp checkin that got us a free drip coffee all this while being very warm, welcoming and cheerful through and through. It’s never too bad a time for a coffee or two and if you happen to be around, give them a try!!! Cheers!!

Can't go wrong with the vanilla latte. The iced vanilla latte is perfect on a hot summer SoCal day. I typically add lavender syrup, as the recipe at Alfred's is the best of LA in my opinion. This location is often a little less busy than other locations and there's a parking garage with two hour free parking just a block away next to Crate and Barrel. I'd really recommend skipping the hassle of looking for street parking and just route straight to the garage. The service is always great, even when it is busy!

I walked in at 6:59 pm on 9/19/25 and asked them what time they close. The young woman said right now so I asked if they could take my order before they close. Then the young man went "let me check the time..." then immediately and very rudely said no and that they're closed. They essentially kicked me out. Don't leave the door open and kick guests out if you don't want people to be disappointed; it feels like a weird power trip. Or maybe don't work on a Friday night if you want to leave "on time." The strawberry Matcha across the street is better anyway so I will avoid this place now. Ambiance at Alfred is whatever too.

Cute. This place is grandma chic. It's a combination of brick and modern with wall paper on the ceiling. Coffee was good. Decent coffee shop with a classic appeal. Had all the expectations of alternative milks, incredibly nice staff, goodies that look delicious and merch. Check it out.

Wifey saw a sign of this Refreshing drink on the side street while we were driving home, I went down quick and ordered one of their Sip of Summer 2025 and between the CHERRY LEMONADE and MACHA COLADA, I chose the Cherry Lemonade, which looks smooth and refreshing to drink. Staff was very quick to handle the orders so I got my order quickly, I also got a spot to sit on their outdoor seating area while waiting for my wife to go around and pick me up. I got a few sips of her drink and I'm glad I chose it because this drink was very Refreshing on a very warm day, my wifey also likes this. Both indoor and outdoor had seating areas. They also sell hot and cold drinks, pastries, cups, and more.

The coffee has more flavor and punch with even choice of macadamia milk. I got an iced latee with lavender iced. The coffee strength was also great for what I was looking for. The place is nice and cozy inside tucked away in the hustle and bustle of Bev Hills.

Alfred's is ok. The staff are great. The seating and coffee is ok. I tried pumpkin cloud iced. Only comes in one size, small or 12 oz. I like it's not too sweet, the problem is the serving size is so small is almost no coffee in it. I have more cloud cream than liquid. The flavor is ok but I wish they stirred it because the espresso and milk is separated and I need to stir it. I also am not a fan of the lids that make it diff to lift and a small drink hole. I suggest they copy Starbucks lids. Bottom line I have mixed feelings but still go there once every six months

Was just at this location this morning and I always come here for my daily matcha before work. However, today I had a terrible experience. I was waiting by the register for at least 10 minutes before someone attended to me. No one even acknowledged me to say they'd be right with me. When someone finally took my order, she did not look put together at all. They look like someone who just rolled out of bed and went to work. My strawberry matcha which is my go to order, was terrible today. All I tasted was oat milk. Almost no matcha was in my drink. I had to throw it away after because of how much oat milk and little matcha was put in it. I hope this store doesn't start having mediocre service.

We stopped by this Alfred Coffee location after visiting The Great Elephant Migration at Beverly Gardens Park. A mid-afternoon pick-me-up was definitely needed. I got a strawberry matcha; I actually meant to order it hot but once it arrived iced I decided that was probably better on a warm day. The inside is on the smaller side but it's comfortable. Tables fit 3-4 people. There was some tricky navigating around the counter but that's the same at any busy coffee shop. I was surprised to see how many other people were there at 5pm actually. There was one last savory scone so I grabbed that and had it warmed up and it was just perfect for my drive home.

I'm a fan of Alfred Coffee, especially their signature Vanilla Latte (sugar free). The pastries are drool worthy, and the coffee hits the spot. Mondays are always sluggish, so I decided to try the Alfred Bolt, which is on their signature menu. It's an energy drink made with green coffee extract, guarana, & white tea. It's lightly sweetened, served iced, and contains vitamins, electrolytes, & amino acids. It definitely gave me the energy I needed to get through the day. I also redeemed my free 12 oz drip with Yelp check in for my co-worker since our office coffee machine was out of service. The shop sits on a corner and is walking distance from my office. There is an outdoor patio, a cozy seating area inside, and a grab & go section with cold beverages and prepared meals from Kreation, which is down the street. You can also buy whole beans & merchandise, including their signature vanilla syrup.

Cute coffee shop. I came here for the lemonade while I was shopping on Rodeo Drive. They also have a cute patio on the main street. The strawberry lemonade was good. It's also right across the street from the Beverly Hills sign so you can take great pictures over there.

When your business advertises itself as having the "World Famous Vanilla Latte", you better make sure this is an out-of-this-world experience. Which takes me a very well-known coffee franchise that is based in the Los Angeles area (with 18 locations in Southern California as of 2024). This is none other than "Alfred Coffee". The location I am writing this review on is none other in the heart of Beverly Hills as it sits at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and N. Beverly Drive. Parking can be a challenge on the surface streets but there is a nearby garage (within walking distance) where the first two hours offer free parking. The exterior is known for its large signage with white block letters complete with a black & white stripe awning (that resembles piano keys) and graced with a forest green painting along the walls. The inside is very well-lit and aesthetically pleasing but since this location is very busy, seating is very limited. I wanted to add that their menu is actually quite extensive as they offer so much more than their iced latte but also a ton of unique specialty drinks. They also have all of the popular coffee drinks (in hot or iced), matcha, tea, and many alternative milk choices (oat, almond, soy, etc). Finally, their food menu is quite extensive with breakfast sandwiches, bagel sandwiches, and even breakfast burritos. During my visit, I came on the morning of Sunday 7/28/2024 at around 11:30am. As expected, there was a long line of customers that made its way to the outdoor patio area. However, orders were handled quickly and in a timely manner. Since I was saving my appetite for lunch, I decided to skip ordering the food. But I did order their World Famous Vanilla Latte (in iced) priced at around $6.00 (as of 2024). Total time it took to order my drink until it was ready took around 4 minutes; not a bad turnaround time in what was a very busy morning. As far as the overall taste of this iced latte, it was just alright for me and wasn't worth the hype of it being "world famous". And in all honestly, it almost had that generic gas station/mini mart iced latte taste to it. I couldn't quite pinpoint what was off about this but I've had so many better drinks at other coffee shops in the area ("Maru Coffee" and "Alchemist Coffee Project" just to name a couple). However, the customer service, ambiance, and overall experience I had at "Alfred Coffee" was a positive one; the only dilemma is that their drink wasn't that good. With that said and done, I am giving them only an average 3-star rating.

Popped in just before 7 and they were still prepping. A kind lady said we are not quite open yet but you are welcome to wait inside. As it was a bit chilly and misting, I was pleased that they extended this kindness. While they finish their daily prep, I got a chance to review their menu! They have a vanilla latte on the menu that made them "famous" plus some unique mixture of coffee drinks! I stuck to straight coffee, so I could get a true appreciation of their coffee beans. Coffee is a bit on the rougher side, has a true bite! To accompany my coffee, I ordered a plain bagel with lox and cream cheese! The sandwich tasted really good! It was so good, I wished that it was a bit bigger for fourteen dollars! The tomato and onions were fresh. And the salmon was not fishy. As for seating: there is a super cute side patio with tables and chairs. Plus their is a patio out front were you can view all the street action, although a bit loud. There are also a couple tables inside. And if none of these suit your bill, there's an ice park just across the street or you can walk around the many high end stores of Beverly Hills!

I got their World famous iced vanilla latte, and it was amazing. There is a nice outdoor seating area, good for working/grabbing coffee with a friend. Very close to rodeo dr which is nice, and the service was good.

But first... coffee. Alfred's Coffee is celebrated for its Vanilla Ices Lattes, which are indeed, very good. The Raspberry Matcha Muffin is also worthy of mention. Plenty of outdoor seating available to enjoy your cup of coffee, with the Beverly Hills sign in the background.

Went in 10 minutes after placing a mobile pick up order and still waited 20 more minutes in the store for it to be ready. 30 minutes waiting for two iced lattes, that's ridiculous. They are very unorganized.

Shoutout to the cashier - she was so lovely and nice, and explained everything perfectly. Ordering was great. But then it went downhill. It took 10+ minutes to get our (2) drinks, and it was soooo hot inside the store. We were standing there sweating, wondering what the holdup was. It wasn't super busy at that time. Finally got our drinks and couldn't get outside fast enough - it was a hot day but it was actually cooler OUTSIDE than inside. Tried my drink (the cloud matcha) and it was SALTY. I typically would love that, but this wasn't a little sprinkle of flaky sea salt...every sip had mouthfuls of salt. Couldn't even tell it was matcha. It was undrinkable. Wasted $8 on it. Lame.

The staff at this particular location is fantastic. They're always welcoming, warm, and friendly. I've never seen a nicer, more professional team. I'm always amazed they somehow seem to remember everyone's name, and even their order. The drinks are good, of course, but the team is the real standout. They should all get a raise. And better air conditioning. It gets hot in there when they're super busy.

Delicious mocha with oat milk and iced mocha with extra chocolate! Huge patio and great flavor.

Maya was a phenomenal host and helped us order our coffee and as well worked out our Yelp checkin that got us a free drip coffee all this while being very warm, welcoming and cheerful through and through. It's never too bad a time for a coffee or two and if you happen to be around, give them a try!!! Cheers!!

Conveniently located in BH and a great space with outdoor seating to chill. We ordered the Matchaga, a 'matcha + functional mushroom delight.' The menu description mentioned a dash of strawberry which I didn't really get, but it was a solid matcha drink nonetheless. With sub for oat milk, the drink in a large is quite pricey at the $9 mark. As of 10/22/23 - if you check in on Yelp, you get a free 12oz drip coffee so that helped alleviate the price tag a bit!

I'm updating my review because the owner took the time to refund me and genuinely cared about the feedback. We often visit Beverly Hills and park at the structure right across the street. As a coffee lover who values supporting small businesses, I'm willing to give it another go with a different drink.

I just don't love their coffee or Matcha. Service was nice and pre-ordering was easy. Not a fan of the taste or quality of their items, there are better options in the area.

Alfred's is good. It is overhyped, but it is delicious depending on what you get. I love their chagacinno, and their chocolate chip cookie ! So delicious ! The vibe in their is really cute and trendy. They have great service and are so helpful !

There nitro cold brew machine seems to always be out of order. I've came here three times in the past week and they say it's still out of order. Expedite that work order and get it fixed. This company makes lots of money how can't it have the machine fixed.

Coffee was good but the breakfast burrito was the real MVP here. The salsa was a great addition to the burrito and if I'm ever in the area again I would definitely get this again. Parking is tough and traffic sucks but otherwise an enjoyable experience.

I love the lavender latte they offer and we frequent this coffee shop often. the pastries are less than desirable especially for such a high price point. at this location there are no tables inside the coffee shop, but there are some outside where you can sit and enjoy your cup of coffee. service is pretty fast, we have not had any complaints. if you're in the vicinity to one i would say check it out but i wouldn't go out of my way

This is the perfect spot for a coffee shop. I'm so happy Alfred Coffee took over this space. It's such a cute little shop. It was very busy inside but the line moved fast and our drinks came out quickly too. Customer service was friendly. My friend and I both ordered the hibiscus iced tea. It was too late for caffeine so I'm glad this was caffeine free. It not too sweet; just the way I like it. It also was a pretty color and came with a cute black and white straw. We stopped to take a photo op at the heart mural on the side of the shop before taking our drinks to-go.

Quick & efficient service. Great location, in the heart of Beverly Hills. The person taking the order was extra helpful in suggesting that their decaf coffee tastes just as good (if not better!) than the regular roast. That helped with my decision making and we got a medium sized decaf oat cappuccino. It didn't taste any different from the caffeinated counterpart (in a good way) - thank god! It was hot, tasty, creamy and just what we wanted! Looking forward to trying their world famous vanilla latte, as well as the lavender latte next!

It's a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee/hot chocolate near the Beverly Hills sign. We liked their coffee. And loved the place. The vibe is amazing in the evenings. The order does t take much time to get ready and the host was very helpful in explaining about their food. Highly recommended

Had heard a lot about this coffee joint so wanted to make sure to try it while in LA. A great small coffee place just opposite Beverly Hills sign, always busy with happy customers! Many options and great taste. May be a bit pricey but very worth it. Great service, polite barista with a smile. Great vibe. Tried their world famous iced vanilla latte and Lavender latte. Also tried their banana walnut bread as they were out of everything else. Will keep looking for more of their coffee around !

Today I walked over from the Beverly Hills hotel, upon arriving I realized I had forgotten my phone/cc. Chanel my barista was so kind and offered to make it for free and said I could pay the next time I was in store. I so appreciated them and their kindness! You have a customer for life Alfred and Chanel you and your team are absolutely amazing !!! With love, the lady in the mushroom necklace

Cool, intimate coffee shop feel on Beverly Drive. I'm pretty sure that Alfreds is a chain, but you wouldn't know from the store. It feels very unique and bespoke to other large chain coffee retailers. There were a lot of patrons in the store, but that didn't hold up any line, because they have the appropriate amount of staff working. The staff is super friendly and Swift in making the coffee. I ordered a pumpkin spice cold brew, which was the perfect refreshing drink for a warm morning, and the pumpkin spice flavor wasn't over the top ... it was additive to the caffeine experience. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, toasted, and it was very yummy. Sometimes when they sit in the display for too long, they get a little stale, but this was very soft and flakey and felt like it was made recently, fresh. Will definitely return, and visit other locations, if they are all up to the standard.

What I had: World Famous Vanilla Latte $7.5 Taste: 4/5 Overall, it was a comforting drink. It had a toffee-like aroma that I really liked. But it was a little bit too sweet. Maybe I will ask for less sugar if I ever visit again. Vibe: 4.5/5 I gravitated to the shop because of its eye-catching storefront. The patio definitely made a nice photo op. Service: 3.5/5 The service was okay. Drinks were served at an acceptable speed even though it was a busy shop. Alfred Coffee 490 N Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

I would like to start off with how friendly the guy at the register was. I asked a few questions about their menu and asked for a suggestion, he didn't rush me or made me feel rushed. The coffee was not good though. I ordered a cold brew with simple syrup and half and half and felt like I was drinking milk. I expected a little more from this coffee shop. I would have liked for the drink to have been a little more coffee like. My husband ordered a mocha latte. His drink was 2/5. It also did not taste like coffee. It was pretty much milk with ice. If anyone has some drink suggestions for next time, I would appreciate it.

Okay coffee but the service is great and employees are really friendly. Pretty consistent quality.

World famous vanilla latte iced was definitely worth the wait. Wasn't packed for a Saturday afternoon but was definitely busy with people doing pickups.

Great coffee and pastries. Employees are sweet and courteous. I love the ambiance! Keep up the good work!

I love this location. It is usually very busy as it is in a tourist area in Beverly Hills. The staff is very nice, friendly and efficent. One of my go to's in BH.

PROS -Nice outdoor patio with tables, pet friendly -Delicious moist muffin -Cordial employees -Next to parking garage CONS -NO BATHROOM? Not even a public sink to wash hands. They probably get a lot of foot traffic from the tourists snapping pictures of the Beverly Hills sign across the street. -At 3pm, they only had one kind of burrito left, which was forgettable Maybe skip the coffee cuz if you need facilities, you're out of luck here.

There is a great, relaxing, and friendly atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is very friendly and nice!

My friends and I would meet up here every so often and today the coffee was it was totally awful. None of us enjoyed the taste, taste water down, couldn't take the coffee. Asked for whole milk and it taste like water. Bad. Waste of $8.00. We walked around and found another coffee place we will be going to.

Nice location right next to rodeo drive. There were a few people waiting in line when we got there but it moved relatively quickly. They're known for having one of the best vanilla lattes so I had to try it for myself. I liked the strong vanilla flavor with each sip. I can see why it's so popular. I think the iced version is their bestseller but I like my lattes hot. The people working were friendly and nice all around.

I came here for a quick lunch break (12:10ish!) and was pleasantly surprised to see the Yelp check in deal for a free 12oz coffee. Considering I was buying lunch in accordance with jury duty compensation when I stopped in, I was DELIGHTED by this. I also grabbed the plant-based breakfast sandwich (they were out of burritos). The sandwich was good! Better and more substantial than the one at Starbucks, which is about what I expected. The coffee was super fresh and piping hot and was a lighter roast than what I expected but is apparently a signature bean from Alfred. I do intend to come back one day to try one of their signature lattes (and perhaps record myself trying it for the first time like the tourists who made a TikTok right next to me while I was taking a work meeting in store - no judgement here, I was delighted to see their happiness and antics). The seating inside wasn't too large - just a bar and some stools against the window, but it was enough for me to take a quick zoom meeting (and the wifi held up for video and audio, if a little laggy). However the seating and shade outside seemed like enough for a solid morning coffee rush.

Break out from the norm and have a deliciously crafted cup of coffee from Alfred in the heart of Beverly Hills. Come early as this place gets busy later in the morning and that's when the chaos ensues as your drink order gets lost sometimes. Order ahead conveniently available through the app. Small location and no private parking so park somewhere nearby or park for free across the street and just walk over.

The service was great! I ordered a Lavender Latte and also bought a Poppi Soda deliciously made!! Not to sweet and very flavorful! The ambiance was interesting... It was the Oscars/ Fanityfair parties going on nearby so there was a lot of traffic.

Sweetest . Cutest. young lady named HAVANA She is Quick ... Always very nice & when I come back in she knows exactly what I absolutely LOVE ! Best Coffee Ever Thank You

I love Alfred! But since I don't live in LA it's hard for me to get their coffee unless have something to do in LA. Especially their stores are more in the West LA areas. I was bummed to find out they don't offer yummy espresso in a dark chocolate lined espresso cookie cup anymore. The barista told me they haven't done that in years. Welp, it must've been that long. I got a chocolate croissant and a decaf oat latte Togo. I also bought one of their cute new tumbler. The light pink one in the photo. I think they are one of the first to come out with the "But first coffee" line. Please try Alfred if you're ever close to one!

I've heard that Alfred is one of those places with pretty drinks, but the taste always seems to be up for debate. I got the matcha latte, which did not disappoint in appearance! Compared to Starbucks iced matcha latte, I thought this one was a higher quality with the powder more evenly distributed as it didn't stick to the walls of the cup. However, I would have preferred a stronger matcha rate and there was no sweetener added (no option was given for this either), which was unexpected. A Yelp check in will also get you a free drip coffee, which was decent but nothing too special. Drinks were good, but they definitely looked better than they tasted and since the matcha latte was $6.60, I would say it was a bit overpriced as well.
