Alfred Coffee

Very cute coffee shop on Abbot Kinney! It was my first time trying Alfred coffee and I will definitely be coming back. The staff was super friendly and I noticed the gentleman interacting kindly with what seemed to be regulars at the shop. Great energy and great coffee! I was pleased to find out they have many other locations in the area thanks to the baristas letting me know. Ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was delicious!

This was a bummer, I will say I had high expectations since everyone raves about this coffee shop. 2 baristas, both on their cell phones. Acknowledged me after I said something. Then just gave stink face while I ordered my go to 2 shots over ice. As if I was interrupting their scrolling. Coffee was good, but experience was whack. Which makes the coffee less, as I think coffee is an experience.

Ordered a hot matcha latte with almond milk and sf vanilla: $8.75 The flavour was ok, nothing spectacular but not awful. I was very disappointed to get to the end of my drink and find big clumps of matcha powder though. It ruined the rest of the drink for me.

I’ve been to all the Alfred locations in LA, and this one is my favorite because the staff are so nice. They also have great pastries, but sometimes they sell out of your favorite items, so there’s more selection earlier in the day. Try the classic Iced Vanilla Latte, and make sure you mix it. Lots of milk alternatives. There’s parking in the lot behind Alfred, and if you scan the QR code inside, you get 30 minutes free.

I always had a nice time in this placebut not this time. The service is bad, the staff is rude, and the other one acts sluggish, as if they just want everyone to leave so they can be left alone. There’s no friendliness at all. Unfortunately, this is behavior I did not expect at all.

Very cute place. Their coffee was pretty good, and their matcha croissant was one the bests I've ever tasted!

Had been wanting to visit Alfred's for the longest time and I finally did on Sunday. There wasn't a line when we arrived so we were able to order right away. We all got different drinks. I ordered a small (16oz) signature vanilla latte - Vanilla bean syrup layered with milk and finished with Alfred Espresso My friend got a small Iced matcha latte with oat milk - Shade-grown matcha blended with ice and water." And my sister ordered a small Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte with oak milk - Real pumpkin, single-origin spices, and a touch of rich brown sugar I was given a 24oz drink instead of a small 16oz. No complaining from me though since I did not get charged for the bigger size. The cashier was friendly and took our orders quick. We all got our drinks at different times and it had started to get really busy. We sat for a bit and left. The inside was clean and it was cutely decorated. The drinks were all really good and we will definitely be back!

I didnt buy their food so I can't rate that. Illiterate sales clerk couldnt understand my question, He mistaked quantity as a subject of what item. Seriously don't go here. They don't accept cash payment. Coffee drinks made for kids, not adults. Overly sweet, low quality chocolate. You want real coffee? Go to Intelligentsia

Read the reviews and was excited to check it out for breakfast. Off the bat, I was surprised how small they're $5.25 Flat White is. It had a balanced taste, expressed some caramel flavor, all around good coffee. The other, less pleasant surprise was the $13 veggie breakfast burrito. Yes, it has been established that potatoes are a veggie, but a veggie breakfast burrito with some egg and mainly re-heated potatoes from yesterday is NOT what I was expecting. I kept looking for some other veggies to peak out, but in vain. So, good coffee, albeit too expensive/or too small for the price, and less than mediocre burrito. Nope, not going back there, there are lots of places just down the street that are better!

after going back and forth I finally decided to try Alfred Coffee. I specifically went to a location with good reviews because unfortunately many locations seem subpar based on reviews. I ordered on the app and got a matcha pumpkin spice latte with 2% milk. the drink came out in about 5 minutes which is pretty good, and the barista who gave me the drink was nice. the drink was also really good and the pumpkin purée at the bottom was made from REAL pumpkin!! inside, the place is pretty cute and has a decent amount of seating. it's colorful and inviting and I would definitely go back.

Absolutely amazing customer service! The two gentleman working were so kind and a joy to interact with! I think Jimmy was the cashiers name. The spot is really cute, not a lot of seating but definitely a grab and go spot. My matcha tea was on point, smooth and delicious. Highly recommend!

My friend who was in town from up north was shocked that I had not only never been here but also that I had never heard of it! Inside you have your classic cutesy trendy coffee spot energy and outside you can sit and soak up the sun. I tried the item that "put them on the map" with their vanilla latte. It was solid, not too sweet and not too bland. I had the zoomies after so there's plenty of caffeine in there. The workers were v helpful and nice.

The coffee did live up to its hype! I have been wanting to try Alfred coffee for months, and I stopped by the Venice location this morning. The iced oat milk lavender latte did not disappoint! It was just the right amount of sweetness (2 pumps of lavender syrup) without sacrificing solid coffee flavor. I can see myself visiting this and other Alfred locations in the future since the coffee was good. Service was fine. The inside has a few tables and there is seating outside as well. Parking could be tricky since this location is right off Abbot Kinney. I was lucky this morning and found street parking. Glad to see this LA chain doing well.

A tight little euro-style coffee joint with all the modern javas of the day including FLAT WHITES, COLD BREW, NITRO MILK THAI...those sorts of things. They also have the regular-guy-like-myself things; COFFEE, AMERICANO and such. The staff is business-ready, action-oriented. The quick smile followed by perfect execution of your order. The tiny patio outside was nice / acknowledged the general lack of seating anywhere. It all says (without saying it) exercise their mantra: BUT FIRST, COFFEE, then get on with your day...coffee (and pastries!) in hand.

"But first, coffee." Bonus points for the registered trademark. I had no idea that phrase was ®. Impressive! The cold brew was tasty and the aesthetics of the shop, very cute. The service was fine but not noteworthy. But definitely loved the decor. wish they had souvenir cups that weren't $30+.

Guessing I'm late to the party but this place is crazy overhyped. Matcha latte was decent, their sweetness level isn't near as high as other places, which is nice. Breakfast burrito was just okay. Was expecting, for $20, something of the like of Superba but this was much closer to Del Taco. Also at 10:30 am they were out of half the options on a Wednesday. But! The burrito was over $20 with tax and this thing is dinky. With tax and tip, a small breakfast burrito and small matcha latte was over $30. That's insane. Also, I guess the owner decided that they are exempt from California law when it comes to having a bathroom at a restaurant? Cool stuff. With All that said, the employees are the only reason this place gets the stars it does. All super nice, quick, and generally great vibes. They deserve a better place of employment.

I love this place so much, I haven't been in a while so i never have gotten the breakfast burritos before but they are delicious only thing is you can't modify them which kinda sucks. Also you guys should invest in different hot sauce because the zapps is like sweet sauce. Also love that you guys came out with sugar free vanilla syrup because it's so good, and honestly it's still pretty sweet so you could probably do it half sweet as well. I'll keep coming back to you guys every time i'm in the area! (one thing is please advertise that parking is for only 30 max minutes or you get charged, i was there for 33 and got charged $2 for the additional 3 minutes i was there)

The sugar free vanilla latte is so good! I added cinnamon and cocoa, free of charge. Extra syrup is also free too :) I love that the coffee here is super customizable (it's so easy on the app) down to the number of espresso shots, decaf options, milk options, and more. It was the perfect pick-me-up while shopping and walking around Abbot Kinney. We went around 4pm so I was really happy to see decaf as an option. There's a small amount of seating inside, and the worker was very nice and made the drink so quickly! Would definitely come back and try more of their coffee & tea options at a more reasonable caffeine hour.

For non coffee lovers, I thought their signature vanilla latte with macadamia milk was just ok. But don't trust my opinion if you are an avid coffee drinker. Tasted watery to me but my friend who ordered said it was good. My friends also tried the matcha with vanilla and Americano with foam on top and it was better than madhappy's. I wouldn't usually order matcha with sweetener but this one is ok. Definitely not my favorite. There is limited indoor seating depending on how busy it is of course and it is kind of sad how much ice they put in the drinks.

Got the Alfred Bolt and the drink was flat, not sparkling as described on the menu. Service was friendly however and the cold brew was strong.

I really enjoyed the coffee as well as the Matcha here. Be sure to download their app to save time and money. Service is friendly and the cafe clean and well run. Great option for the area if you are looking for a pick me up.

UGH, I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Oh Alfred, you are simply the best, you get me like no other. I want to keep marvel in your deliciousness forever and ever. But first, coffee. I order the same thing every time I visit Alfred and that's the Lavender latte because I have never gone wrong with a lavender latte and I know for certain Alfred will never let me go wrong as long as coffee is involved. The employees at this location are fine. I love the ambiance and all of the "But First, Coffee" messages around the store. Someday I will get the coffee cup that says "But First, Coffee" on it. I have to limit myself on even entering Alfred Coffee because I would be there multiple times a week and my wallet can't handle how good it is. Honestly, the prices are bit high but it's a super trendy spot so go figure. I've had the opportunity to try a number of the baked goods/pastries and I can honestly say - they're some of my favorite. Thank you, Alfred Coffee, for being amazing and for opening up so many more locations around Los Angeles! I'll be visiting more in the future and just might expand my palate, too!

Accidentally stumbled upon a $3 matcha because it was hh. It was delicious and the barista was so friendly!

When visiting the LA area, we always make at least one stop at Alfred. I really enjoy their ("world famous") vanilla syrup and have purchased online for making lattes at home. We came early (10am) on a Sunday so this Venice location wasn't terribly busy, which was nice. I like the ambiance of the store - colorful and lively. And although this store doesn't have room for tables inside, they do have 2 tables outside

lol Alfred your place here in Venice a complete failure the female barista is just wasting drinks, and the coffee is not that great.

Good place for a small coffee. Good service and friendly staff! Coffee and pasteries are both good!

Can't go to LA without stopping at Alfred's! This was my first time at the Abbot Kinney location (only had been to Melrose before.) I ordered their famous iced vanilla latte with oat milk. My bf ordered the nitro cold brew. Very satisfying! Great place to go if you need your caffeine fix.

Thank you so much for commenting. I am grateful for your attention to this. I do not need a drink - just glad that I will feel good about buying for beans and drinks. Much better than the others on Abbot Kinney.

Pretty good coffee. Little pricey but it's nice we finally have something besides Starbucks on the water

Best vanilla oat latte in town. Drinks come out quick and staff is super friendly and smiling always.

Cute coffee shop and there's almost always a seat so it's a good place to go if you're meeting up with a friend. The baristas are also really nice. However, the coffee is a little weak, there are no bathrooms and the food is hit or miss (mostly miss).

Super cute ambiance with the friendliest staff. The iced vanilla latte was good but I felt they could have mixed it more and the syrup was at the bottom. The almond croissant was good, make sure to ask for it toasted. A cute coffee shop but the seating inside is really limited and is a hard wooden seat that I wish was more aesthetically pleasing.

I've been to a variety of Alfred's in LA, but this has to be my favorite. We called ahead to make sure they had things in stock to ship my sister on the East Coast. When we got there, they had everything set aside and were full of smiles! This has to be the friendly staff we've interacted with at an Alfred's. Not only that but the coffee was also the best. The barista was by far the best we've had in LA at an Alfred's!

This place is worth the hype. I got a vanilla latte and it was without a doubt the best one I've ever had! The staff was very friendly. I wish there was a location closer to me that I could visit more frequently.

Covid-19 protocols in place- and how unprecedented is it for any food service chain to be opening new locations during a global pandemic? A testament to the brand and to people's rabid appetite for delicious vanilla oat milk lattes, Boba milk teas, and cold brew coffee This new location is stunning and pays homage to the locale. Alfred is always an experience. Welcome to Venice!

Alfred's Coffee on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice Beach has the best service, coffee, and impossible breakfast sando in town! I am grateful in particularly with the best barista ever, Faith, who always provides care and influences love when pouring my iced black cold brew as it always promotes morning energy! If you're in the Westside of LA, stop by Alfred's today!

You have one chance to make a first impression. Where were the girls who gave friendly service in the other reviews? Your coffee isn't good enough for you to be that rude. Also not good enough to be that expensive. Pass.

Came in to order my favorite coffee and my oh my, they never go wrong with your taste buds! My wife loves banana walnut bread.. delicious!

Great coffee, 4 stars only because it comes with the the vanilla right at the bottom and it's hard to mixup without a stirrer or getting coffee all over. Overall a cute location right on Abbott Kinney, perfect spot to stop at before shopping!

The baristas here showed me how to enjoy a super good matcha The guy there is super chill and friendly and all the girls are always quick and excited about the drinks and music

I met a friend here for morning drinks and breakfast. While the chai latte was pretty standard to what I get at any other morning cafe (I'd give it a 3/5), the breakfast burrito was SO delicious. Tater tots in a burrito??? Sign me up!!! I will admit I was a little skeptical at first of the burrito contents, I'm not usually one to combine too many flavors and textures into one but the ingredients (avocado, fried egg, bacon, melty cheese and tots) all mixed so well together. I made the mistake of only eating half of my burrito and sharing the other half with my partner and then I later wished that I had my entire own burrito because it was that good. Wish I could go back for another but sadly I'm not an LA local. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a delicious bite to eat in the morning!

Loved the vanilla latte! Croissant was only ok. Worth checking out if you're in the area and you want some coffee.

I am pretty picky when it comes to my oat lattes. They can't be too milky or too strong tasting, there must be a nice balance and Alfreds did not disappoint! I got the 8oz (love that they offer this size!) hot oat latte and it was perfect! Their online ordering system is really easy once you get the Alfred Coffee app! It's very easy to explore the menu, make modifications and pay. I ordered ahead and my drinks were ready within 15 mins. It does get busy, but the staff is very good at managing orders! Online order tip: when you arrive, let them know!

Finally got to try Alfred! I ordered the lavender latte as it had a lot of interesting ingredients and loved it! I've never had a latte with lavender before let alone butterfly pea and peppermint. It was a good balance of coffee, sweetness and the flavorings. Would recommend if you're in Abbot Kinney!

Not really worth the hype. The wait times are insanely long. We tried getting coffee twice and on the 1st day they told us it would be a 25 minute wait after we had already waited in line. We didn't have the time so we decided to pass. On the 2nd day we ordered online and came 30 minutes later to pick up the drinks. The vanilla latte that's much talked about is all right, nothing to write home about. I enjoyed it but I don't think I'd wait again. There are much tastier options close by. The drinks are pretty and they've created a pleasant ambiance.

love the iced lavender latte that celia recommended! also love the ambiance of this location

Coffee - decent. Seating - AWFUL. It's literally tiles and plywood in the most awkward and uncomfortable shape. Please fix it.

I just..... I feel like Alfred is generally reliable but ... yeah watery coffee, no bathrooms (massive disaster for someone like me who loves to sit and hang out for a while while I drink my coffee) and the staff were unfriendly and I was too scared to ask for extra ice or anything because of it

I love the service at the Venice location I was given the best experience with the girls named faith and clarissa. They helped me decide which one was the best drink. Overall drinks were great pastries were amazing thank you to the girls who work at Alfred's. :)) I will definitely come back to this location again!!!

This team is so sweet and welcoming. I'm obsessed with the iced vanilla latte with oat. Its consistently good every time I order from this location! I also love how close to the beach it is :)

Such a cute, vibey Alfred. Girl with glasses and tattoos was super helpful and kind! Shoutout to her!!

I love the matcha here! The staff is amazingly friendly and the overall ambience of the place is comforting. For me I am not a friendly person till I have my morning caffeine, but faith made sure I was dazzled, awake and ready to communicate with people.

I love the IVL with oat and the staff is so nice! Always a pleasure walking in & getting my coffee!!

My kids love coming here, the workers are always so happy to help them! It's just down Venice Blvd and it's easy to pull my car into a spot. I usually get a calm tea and the baristas help my kids pick something yummy.

I'm obsessed with the dirty (2 espresso shots) iced matchas. A little bit of cinnamon is the perfect cherry on top. Gets me ready to finish ANYTHING I have to get done without a huge caffeine crash.

The cutest little surfer vibe Alfred in LA! The team is always welcoming & can I just say, the Nuts & Bolts donuts are FIRE!
