Went in today, first time trying this place. Not up to my expectations. The two men up at the front… get rid of them. They are going to ruin your business. They are rude and their attitudes are out of pocket. Meaning it wasn’t necessary. Probably won’t ever come here or recommend.

Quick service as the second customer of the day. The Rico with no bacon was really tasty but a tad oily towards the bottom. Came with two sauces (I liked the darker one better). My short Americano was good but I liked the one I got yesterday from Cafe Luxxe better, although the energy and customer service was a little more elevated and positive at Alfred. Would definitely come back to try the more complex drinks (i.e. chagaccino). Outdoor seating available. Mask required for ordering inside. Small adjoining lot with free parking.

Lovely place to pick up from (the matcha latte is my absolute favorite), but unfortunately there is no indoor seating as the place is really tiny. I recommend ordering ahead using their app, so that you know exactly what time your drink will be ready. In terms of food: their prepared bagels are great but I wasn’t very impressed by the breakfast burritos. Long story short: get the matcha latte but plan to take it somewhere else to drink it (so you have a place to sit and sip).

Famous vanilla latte tastes just like a latte. Its not shaken/mixed well, so you have your milk floating on top of the coffee. Good if you prefer above Starbucks quality.

I’m done with this location. I’ve given it many tries and every time I go here it never fails at the staff are rude, and unattentive, and unhelpful. Their latest stunt is to give you a teabag separately from your drink. If I’m paying $4 for tea, you can prepare it for me. Absolutely ridiculous

Outdoor ordering and waiting. Efficient and tasty!Oat milk latte

Great coffee, friendly and helpful staff, serves some yummy breakfast items and pastries! Only slight markdown due to often crazy challenge with parking or line. But its a superb location for a coffee shop, great for foot traffic, so bravo!

I had been starving for a good cup of coffee for days, so maybe thats why I really loved this place? Or maybe its just because they do a hell of a good coffee. I really liked the atmosphere, even if it was slightly rainy and you could not enjoy the outdoor seating. Highly recommended!

Met a friend and both of us ordered an iced vanilla latte. Delicious!

Cute store, and friendly baristas, but the coffee isnt very good.

Great coffee, good selection of pastries and breakfast options. Cute place, kind of crowded sometimes.

Not bad coffee... Not great coffee... But, definitely expensive coffee. Not sure if it is really worth it. Ill try it again to see...

How do they do it?? Its such a small space and yet theyre able to knock out great customer service, killer drinks, and keep it upbeat and friendly. Get an Iced Vanilla Latte, you wont regret it.

So the coffe and all is good, like i drink it and im good for a bit but overall im off the beaten path. sorry hold on i just got a text, wait lemme just read it again. Okay so yes im drinking this diet, no sugar root beer its not great. also It was a complete missunderstanding what happened at the school. The scones and muffins are friends, maybe more than friends. I would like to see how this plays out. Im praying for them.

We had just ate at Pizzana and were walking off some of the carbs and decided to check out Alfred Coffee. Ive been to Alfred Tea Room, but never one of their coffee spots.They had a lot of extra things like mugs, water bottles, chocolate, tote bags and more. Kombucha on tap was new, and matcha was new too.They got a lot of small white tables outside where we took a seat, and many people were camped out to type on their laptops.Ive gone by the Alfred in Silverlake quite often, so I think Ill stop by there too one of these days. I can see why the brand is so successful, with such friendly staff. Was let down by my experience at Winston Pies right after this visit... unfriendly. But then we went to Tavern (old Hamburger Hamlet spot) and they were really cool!

The best place for coffee lovers! This coffee shop has the best and affordable coffee that I needed. Also, the atmosphere here is very relaxing, and the staffs are very accommodating. My overall experience was satisfactory and delightful, and I would like to thank these guys for that. A must-visit coffee shop!

A line but well worth the wait on a weekend. Try the Rico suavé burrito will not disappoint! Theres a valet and they validate. I will be returning. Only grievance is that they wasted some cups and bags on my order that I wanted for dining in.

Wow! What a super cool place to check out. Obviously, we went during Covid so everything was to go orders only but this Alfred’s has a park attached to it so you can socially distance from people while enjoying your coffee. They have mobile order so my coffee was ready right when I got there which was a plus. I got their cold brew which was amazing. My wife got their latte which she said was good. Plus they have great bakery items to try.

Great location. Espresso taste is far more modern (3rd wave) so it is a bit lighter roast in general. Espresso drinks are a bit watered down for default size so Id add a shot or add a lot of room. Lot of people outside if youre trying to avoid the pandemic. Staff has good precautions, but customers are mixed.

I didnt want to believe the hype and follow the masses but this place delivers by providing an easy and delicious coffee experience. As a huge fan of Stumptown Coffee Roasters, and having been to their training location in NYC, I was more than excited to pick up a bag of beans here. I ate a sweet and delicious miso pastry with a delicate miso and buttery flavor and ordered a latte to go. Their lattes feauture espresso pulled from a La Marzocco machine. The end product featured a more delicate flavor with a smooth and buttery finish--a welcome change to the stronger flavors around town.

You will not get your money worth it for

Nice place, new paint is welcome :)

Iconic spot, can be a bit slow when busy.

Pandemic love from the staff! Standing outside yesterday trying to figure out how to order directly from their website, some of the menu items didnt load. Rather than turn us and our order away, the friendly staff not only took the order the old fashion verbal way but ended up giving it to us on the house because of some other complications (not handling cash right now, credit card has to be linked via website). The macchiato and matcha lattes were delicious and the camaraderie palpable in this time of awkward encounters and shopping confusion. Thank you baristas and staff of Alfred Brentwood!

Great coffee, ordering for pickup was super easy and smooth!

Friendly staff and good, simple coffee. Good aesthetics inside and nice outside seating.

The Espresso shot concept was great a shot in cone with dark chocolate inside, The espresso also was really good and strong. I wish they had more cookies or quick bite to pick with your coffee.

I ordered medium cappuccino and got a small size. I asked them that I ordered a medium, they just poured it into a medium cup and gave it to me. Its basically milk with no espresso at all. Very disappointed and definitely won’t be back.

Nice service, the rose milk tea its really good be aware they only a accept cards or mobile pay no cash.

Great coffee. Pretty tight inside, noisy outside.

Way overrated. Coffee is ok. We were looking into the food and the whole pastry display was FULL of flies. I wouldn’t touch the food...

Had the matcha latte and nitro. Wasn’t worth the 30min wait and messed up one of our drinks

Good cup of coffee.

This is a great local cafe, the coffee great tasting and the service always excellent. The only down side is that this is not really a hang-out and work kind of place with crowded table set-up. Granted the library is right nextdoor, but for those of us who work and support the local cafe scene, a few more outlets would be great.Alfred Coffee Brentwood

I like Alfred coffee shop! They make a really good coffee!

Very polite and friendly, but unhelpful. They now require mobile order only. Their Postmates was down and their website wanted me to enter a zillion details about me. Around me were at least 2 other people experiencing the same problems. Not sure why they couldn’t just take our orders. Ended up just leaving.

Quick, professional staff. Love their coffee.

Update:You can now order with the cashier again! Though a cup of coffee still took them a while (had to brew a new batch it seems like).----------------------Had tagged this place on Google maps a while back. Finally went in today around lunch time for a cup of coffee.The ordering process, especially if its your first time, is currently painful, because of the precautions they have taken (rightfully).You have three ways to order:- install the Alfred Coffee app, but its ONLY available on iOS- use this website to order, which you can scan a barcode for- use Postmates to order (from what I understand, Postmates charges you a little extra even if you are picking up)I am on Android, and dont use Postmates, so had to go the website route. Took about 15+ minutes overall, just to get a cup of coffee and a slice of banana walnut bread.Positives:- very good drip coffee!- the person who brings out the orders, was super friendly- the banana walnut bread was yummy!When things are back to normal and ordering is easy again, Ill be there more often.

By far my favorite Indian food Ive had in LA! Flavors so clean, fresh and delicious! Reminds me of 6th St in East Village BUT BETTER! You can feast here reasonably! Great prices! Try Saag Paneer and all the Kormas and the Garlic Naan. Youll be glad you did!

Absolutely love the coffee but every time I go here I have the worst interaction with the staff. They are so rude and condescending and completely unpleasant to talk to. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad encounter with a coffee shop staff until I came here. Seriously, about 4-5 times now I have left with how rude they are. There’s friendlier coffee shops in Brentwood.

New favorite coffee place. Everything is good, actually. From the matcha to the mocha.

A casual place to grab a cup of coffee when passing through. Service was friendly and quick. The Rico Suave breakfast burrito was filling. I would come back with friends but not a must for me when coming to LA

Excellent coffee and fast, friendly service (even when the line is long, it goes by pretty quick most often). Parking can look a bit tight, but Ive gone at a variety of different times throughout any day of the week and have always been able to pull in and valet my car for a quick pick-up and go. A bit pricier than most coffee shops.They have oat milk!

Delicious coffee and banana bread. The wait can be a little long, but not enough to keep me from going back.

My fav spot. Their cold brew is so good. FYI they use stumptown coffee so you KNOW its good.

Yummy, yummy delicious coffee! They serve Stumptown here. They also have a wide variety of snacks/granola/salads/sandwiches/pastries if you want to make a one-stop lunch or morning breakfast. Parking is limited but you can park on San Vicente for free before 8AM. The service is fast and friendly. The space inside the shop is limited but there’s plenty of tables outside and I never had an issue finding a place to sit. Overall, I think the coffee is good to the point that is worth dealing with the lack of parking. Thumbs up!!!

Its actually really good - my wife

I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Alfred Brentwood on our interview date.The saying “But first, coffee” is taken seriously when it comes to small local franchise Alfred Coffee, and their Brentwood location certainly doesn’t lack in trying to let their customers know that caffeinated goodness is available once they step into their colorfully kooky designed shop. Known for their #10DollarLatte (pretty much a Starbucks sized cup with your choice of significantly better ingredients), they also offer classic coffee and tea options (including a chicory, cacao, dandelion, chamomile blend called “Fake Coffee”) and cold brew, kombucha and matcha available on tap in order to please the many different types of Angelinos and visitors that come through. Fun little fact apart from them having great coffee, Alfred frequently likes to collaborate with other businesses, including famed specialty chocolate company Compartés (in which a shop is within walking distance to Alfred) and hilariously satirical social media account Overheard LA (which included themed coffee sleeves). So, what are you waiting for! Let yourself relish in quirkiness that is Alfred Coffee!

Every time I travel, I seek out top notch craft coffee. I love getting to try new shops and it always makes my trip better! Alfred was on the top 20 list for LA so I stopped by to check it out. Parking was really tough, and the wait was about 15 mins. I decided on cold brew and an espresso, but I was a bit disappointed by my cup of espresso, I think because it was so busy, they just had to rush it and didn’t pay much attention to making sure it was excellent. In general I liked it and if I’m in Brentwood, I’d give them another shot!

Good coffee. Small area. Amazing customer service

The breakfast burrito will change your life! I ordered the egg white/avocado/hash brown one, but Im sure the other one is delicious too. Go get yourself some Stumptown coffee and a breakfast burrito and a pastry for good measure, as soon as possible. Go on a weekday morning and sit outside in the sunshine (theres no indoor seating). Small space and no restroom, with only valet parking in the lot, but beautiful neighborhood and coffee/food experience.

Come here if you want sour milk in your $4- $6 coffee.

The breakfast burrito had no flavor and it looked it was premade. The vanilla late tasted bland. Nice place but wouldnt go back for food or drink.

Not to be too rude or too unkind. I like this place initially. But quite frankly the coffees overpriced, delicious, and a long line.I watched them make $100 bucks in litteraly 10 min. I asked for some soy milk on the side and they actually put it in the coffee after I told them clearly and specifically Not to. And they did hear me. Why am I so upset over a small thing like this, Im not! Im just simply stating that this lovely little coffee house with all its good intentions, in the words of Carlos Santana is missing the LOVE that it desperately needs. I could even feel it when I was in there. NO LOVE, NO RESPECT = 2 STARS. Sorry !!😟

Someone recommended this place to me for their breakfast burrito and coffee. It is not bad, but for the price you should know they dont have a kitchen, so the burrito is in the fridge and heated up for you, the coffee is not great, but it is good enough. Dont go here is you are looking for a freshly cooked burrito.

I usually make coffee at home but when in a rush, this place is the best. Coffee is fresh but doesnt taste burnt like Starbucks. Love the atmosphere and they offer breakfast or lunch to go.

Always surprisingly fast for being continually busy! Everything Ive ever had has been fantastic and a nice treat for the day 😄

Better than Starbucks for quality but is not the best place to study or work

Home of the $10 cup of coffee - its fancier than just coffee, but this place does produce a good cup. Its worth a stop if youre in this part of town.Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz

The worst service & Coffee I ever had.It’s just a hype.They certainly lost my business

Coffee is just not good. Not worth the price. The service could pay more attention. The food is not mind blowing either.

Well, they mixed my hot (actually barely warm) chocolate with a plastic knife right in front of my eyes. Staff saw me watching it and did not care. And this okay drink cost me more than Starbucks. Definitely not coming back. I think they should be fired for using plastic knife in your hot beverage, that is a health hazard.

Quintessential neighborhood coffee shop where you always see someone you know! Im currently digging lattes and matcha lattes with oat milk to change up my routine - delicious! Or try the sunshine latte (tumeric based) which is caffeine free and anti-inflammatory.

Amazing coffee highly recommend it if you are in the area ; good customer service

The coffee is delicious and outside have place for relax and take your coffee BUT I SAW A MOUSE RUNNING IN MY FEET. I CANT COME BACK AGAIN PLEASE CLEAN YOUR GARDEN

Cute, small place with a little patio. Been there a few times. They offer many coffee preparations, but not many varieties of coffee, and I I think the only foods are pastries. Tasty, though not a lot of variety. Interesting really, I learned today that they have a separate tea store half a block away with milk teas, boba et cetera. Ill be back to try that

Best coffee in Brentwood. Try their breakfast burritos as well The Alfred with egg whites and tots is amazing.

Very good coffee, great barristas, good atmosphere. Not cheap: comparing to Coffee Bean or Starbucks, its a little pricier and a LOT tastier. No outlets, so make sure your devices are charged up. No rest rooms either.

Solid cold brew and iced lattes. Awesome people watching and outdoor patio. But no restrooms or outlets.. Sup wit dat?But first, upgrade the facilities, b.

Quick and nice area. All outdoor seating. Coffee wasnt anything special, but decent meet up spot! Didnt see any restrooms.

LA staple. Super fast no matter how long the wait is!

Coffee tastes whatever and they don’t have very many options. Would not recommend. Rude owner.

One of the best coffee places. Expensive but great coffee.

Great for a quick stop even in the morning as the line always tends to nice fairly quickly. Definitely recommend.

This is just a walking distance from my Condo, I like their coffee and the ambiance of the place.

Pleasantly surprised at how good the coffee was. For me its all about the bean, not the added flavors of syrups, chocolate, etc. Alfreds beans are good and the staff is friendly.

Really nice place, but no restroom. This is not very practical.

Overpriced average coffee but great cookies. Iced coffee was 65% ice by volume, very little coffee. Service was fast. Servers were nice.

I have always had a great experience walking in here. The staff is always welcoming. I ordered an iced tea and it was very flavorful.MaryYourSoul (dot) com

Really excellent coffee! These people know what theyre doing. So many different (and health conscious) selections to choose from.

Parking is tough but the coffee was great!

Nice smooth coffee and pleasant place to sit even outside at noon in 90 degree weather because if the well shaded seating.

Very good coffee. Almond Latte. Yum.

A friend recommended this place and it had one of the best vanilla chai lattes I’ve had! Also the hazelnut chocolate dipped croissant was amazing !

Great Stumptown coffee. The cold brew was great. I also enjoyed the cup sleeves.

The cold brew was great, and they were very friendly!

Most delicious oat milk lattes I’ve had so far.

Weaker cold brew than Im used to, but still tasty.

Great little coffee shop in brentwood. They serve Stumptown beans and make excellent craft espresso drinks. Would highly recommend a stop here for some coffee and conversation.

It’s cute and trendy, but only giving 4 stars as it’s very small, there is always a long line and there is no indoor seating.

Cute but VERY small place. You cant find a good space to wait for your coffee. Coffe itself was ok.

Top 5 coffeeshops in LA. Excellent coffee, and they know how to make it. Kevin does the BEST microfoam. Very sweet staff.

Great little coffee shop with a few pastries, juices and cold case itemsFair amount of outside seating

Fast service, reasonable prices (for LA), and attractive interior.

Great place for a pick me up.

Teeny and a bit pricey but great fast service and matcha green tea latte!

Just like the original -- but cuter and better floorpan. Excited to have these guys in our hood!

Average 3rd wave coffee place. Very expensive and tons of the usual attitude. Great place for people watching.

The guy who took my order was really sweet but his coworker was unapologetically lame when I asked her a simple question

Ok. Nothing extra ordinary.
