About Us

Alfred opened its first cafe on Melrose Place in 2013 with a simple idea: coffee should be an experience. Since then, we’ve grown into a globally recognized brand with locations across Los Angeles, Austin, and the Middle East.

Guided by our four core values – Consistent Innovation, Everyday Excellence, Collaborative Individuality, and Joyful Belonging – we’ve built more than cafes. We’ve built a culture, a community, and a standard.
