Beat The Fall Chill At L.A.'s 11 Best Coffee Shops

Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

Sandwiched between the high-end designer boutiques of tree-lined Melrose Place, Alfred Coffee & Kitchen landed on some of L.A.'s finest real estate when it opened its doors in January. The relatively recent addition to the block brings the neighborhood a cozy caffeine haven to enjoy on the prettiest sunshine-filled days with a quaint sidewalk patio, as well as the gloomier ones with a modern-rustic space inside to take refuge. Dark wooden walls and floors give Alfred a warm and inviting atmosphere, as does the fireplace where you can get nice and toasty as you sip on their freshly brewed Stumptown Coffee. In addition to caffeinated specialties, Alfred also offers a full menu of sandwiches, salads, and, as of this week, a selection of gourmet pastries and treats like croissants, muffins and scones from the Farmshop bakery.
