Fresh Salads for Life

Everyones favorite LA coffee shop, Alfred, has just opened up a new cafe in this alley way. It’s literally 2 blocks away from the og Alfred and theres’s nowhere to park. It’s also much smaller than that one. I’m not really selling you on this, but check this ace up my sleeve. They have a SWEET neon sign that you can stand in front of and pop selfies. Bam, sold, I know. Plus you can tell people to meet you in the alley which makes you sound as creepy as you really are off of the internet. There are a few stools and some seating out there, but more importantly is this Restoration Hardware gallery across the street. It’s a 40,000 sq foot RESTORATION HARDWARE my dudes. Cruise in with your macchiato, judgmental architect face, and architect coat (bc all real architects wear dope coats). Then fully inhabit the second floor “bedroom” on the low. Free rent forever via adverse possession. There’s a rooftop garden where you can harvest vegetables and eat fresh salads the rest of your life. 

Alfred Coffee {In The Alley} 

Tip: There’s really nowhere to park. 

Tip: Get one of those chocolate cones they make and put coffee in. 

Tip: They have nitro iced coffee. It’s really strong and you may blast off above the ozone layer.

Pricing: macchiato $4; espresso $3.

When to come here: Walking around, any time you want to go to Restoration Hardware, instead of Urth.

Where: 8509 Melrose Ave Los Angeles
