Calvin ChanMarch 18, 2015They brew Stumptown beans (from the local LA Stumptown). Much bigger than it looks from the outside; they have a nice patio too. There is wifi and (very few) outlets, so you can get work done too...
Easily my favorite coffee shop in LA thus far. Very creative. Working creatives. Inspiring to me. Solid wifi signal, but strength has always needed help, and can drop now and again.
Anthony GomezAugust 16, 2013Great coffee. Great vibe. Nice people. Quaint and plenty of working space. A great spot to be productive or meet someone for an appt.
Sandrene MathewsJuly 8, 2018Great lattes and they have oat milk. The large iced oat mocha saved me on this insanely hot day. But they don’t have any outlets. A great place for meeting but not necessarily for working.
Time Out Los AngelesMay 13, 2015Wifi is free, coffee is courtesy Stumptown Coffee Roasters, pastries are tasty and the experience is irresistibly Instagram-able (Seriously. That "But first, coffee" decal should have its own handle.)
Catsi CatalanJune 1Our visit to Alfred's Coffee, nestled beside Glossier on Melrose, was a delightful experience. The vibrant pink hue of the matcha was as eye-catching as it was delicious matching the trendy branch.
Ken MizunoJuly 8, 2015Great coffee and selection of juices. Sit and hang inside while enjoying your drink of choice or sit out on the front porch under the sun watching the trendy people of Melrose Place pass by.
Miles ThurstonSeptember 9At Alfred Coffee, where vibes are serene, Baristas craft magic, a caffeine dream. Stylish and mellow, a perfect retreat, With every sip, your day feels complete. ☕✨
naveenFebruary 23, 2020great coffee. good for a meeting (with outdoor seating). good people watching and easy to bring family too - nice to walk around the block. (street fair on weekend when i was there)
Beierfel HyembxApril 21, 2020What a place. This is one of the bests to get some work done. They definitely served good coffee and delectable cookies at a very affordable price. The music they played had me rocking in my seat.
This place is like heaven. Go for a Rico Suave burrito and some cold brew. Can't do anything wrong here.
Giana ZulkafliNovember 20, 2018Tiny may be deceiving . This nook is great for that morning coffee and take away when you are on the move .
YasminSeptember 2, 2017Amaaaazzzinnnggg coffee , atmosphere , and service 👏🏼👏🏼 even the sandwiches were great 👌🏽will be back definitely.
Caroline RitterMarch 31, 2017Alfred uses Stumptown coffee, which is a personal fave. Great coffee! I highly recommend the ham & cheese croissant too.
Come to the original Alfred! If there ever was a morning hangout spot with long lines of people watching/watchers on Melrose place... It’s my place on the Place!
Off The MenuOctober 15, 2015Coffee in a Cone: God bless you Alfred for creating such a wonderful coffee! Your choice of macchiato or espresso in a waffle cone that is rimmed with chocolate! Read more
AT WawaJune 3, 2016Really great coffee. Hot chocolate was very good too. Didn't try any of the food products but seem healthy. Crowd is cool too lovely outdoor seating.
- Yanick WiliskySeptember 24, 2014Just tried the espresso in a chocolate waffle cup and although I wouldn't do it everyday it was definitely a great way to start the day ;-)
SamAugust 30, 2018Absolutely love this place but they have no outlets so don’t plan on staying here for long if you bring your laptop!
olivier PEYREDecember 22, 2017Super cute coffee shop right by the Melrose Place farmers market. Check out the Compartes chocolate store in the back.
Tanya VFebruary 11, 2017Stumptown coffee, banana walnut muffins are especially great, beautiful neighborhood
- Glen BraunApril 22, 2020I recently found this Farmer's Market, and I love their fresh produces! My children are loving the fruits and veggies we’ve gotten.
Cole CotesMay 26, 2013They have a farmers market....:-)every sunday:-)...B-)(Near the coffeehouse and music bands every friday:-)koooolB-)...
Caitlin TaylorSeptember 21, 2017Matcha croissant. Yes. Always long lines but good pastries and good coffee
The coffee is really, really good. And the cafe fare isn't bad at all. But, let's be honest, you're not here for the that...💁🏻
Yisha ZhangSeptember 29, 2013Plenty indoor and outdoor seating. Free postcards and stickers at the register. Most importantly, a nice and lovely coffee shop!
RTWgirl ArnetteOctober 29, 2014Cute spot on Melrose Place. Can get busy during Farmers Market on Sunday
Nilüfer özmekikAugust 28, 2018They make the best coffee of LA! Nice and trendy place with its great vanilla latte!
Haesung KimJuly 19, 2019Miss those days when it was less touristy nevertheless still good coffee and a cool hangout place
- AT WawaAugust 13, 2017The coffee is great not to the point where I'd come everyday. The crowd is hippy & young. Not bad not amazing
This is the best place to get coffee. You truly get the full Melrose experience when you are there.
no nameAugust 10, 2014Stumptown coffee is solid. Place is a bit more chill than others nearby. Grab an outdoor seat!
Iced matcha coconut latte with light ice and and extra scoop plz 🙋🏽 best coffee around.
- AshleyJuly 7, 2013Alfred offers their own homemade cold-brew coffee, as well as Stumptown's bottled version, if you're in a rush.
- Nik RJune 23, 2015Stumptown coffee served, just like in Portland :) good ambience, though usually pretty busy
Danny NathanOctober 22, 2016Good coffee. Hit it up on a Saturday morning and visit the farmers market afterward.
Great coffee and there's also great truffles at compartes next door to Alfred
The cappuccino was the perfect foam to milk to espresso ratio. And they use Stumptown coffee!
