Alfred Coffee — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I write this review to you, my dear reader, from seat 14C on Delta Airlines flight 1857 to PVR with an Alfred’s iced americano between my thighs and John Fante’s “Ask the Dust” novel between my feet. Oh yeah, I read novels hehe haha :)

We are setting off on a family trip to Mexico, giddy as a fat kid about to dive into his first slice of red velvet cake on his birthday, and Alfreds was our first stop.

As I was in line, the little bottles of Pinot Noir in the grab n go section were looking at me CRAZY, but at 9am still on US soil I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I mentioned this test from God to my sister in law, and she said I should do it as airports are completely LAWLESS. “No one judges you in an airport, you can drink at anytime, sleep anywhere, completely free of judgement” She’s lowkey so right… but that’s a review for another day.

I opted to just get an iced americano, as I cant consume a single calorie until I get my first candid shirtless pics on the beach…I gotta look lean and get my IG bussin to stack these external validation chips!!

My brother and dad got the chicken sausage with egg and cheese sandwich, and it looked muy delicioso. They asked if I wanted a bite but I knew that was just another test from God, which I passed.

I BLEED DELTA BLUE!

Just needed a quick caffeine boost for my layover, since I don't care for Starbucks I stopped here instead. Man, what a disappointment. Noone behind the counter was friendly or helpful. I asked for recommendations on a cold coffee and the girl behind the register with an attitude said "cold brew" then proceeded to walk away to grab something. There were two more employees behind the counter were too busy talking to care much as well. They set my drink down with an attitude as if they couldn't be bothered. Then when I asked for a straw, again I got an attitude and they just pointed towards the 2 straws that were hard to see on the counter.

I work in customer service as well, so I understand that days can be stressful. But don't treat your customers as if they are bothering you when they're paying for a service.

P.S. Cold brew was alright. Good...

I am writing to express my concern regarding an incident that occurred at your establishment on April 22, 2025, around 7:00 AM. During my visit, I was served by an employee named Shayna R. Unfortunately, he manner was unprofessional; he appeared disinterested and placed the items I ordered on the table in a dismissive manner.

I felt that this behavior was disrespectful and not in line with the level of service I expect. I am particularly concerned that this treatment may have been influenced by bias, which is deeply troubling.

I kindly request that you address this matter appropriately, including providing additional training to ensure all staff members deliver courteous and professional service to every customer.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to...
