Located in the heart of fashion-centric Melrose Place, Alfred {Coffee+Kitchen} focuses on just that. Their baristas wear only Rag & Bone. And they are all about that mustache branding. Everything is quaint, well-placed, and the decor is adorable. However, their coffee fell slightly unnoticed. Alfred brews Stumptown (Hairbender espresso) and unfortunately it tasted slightly muddy (although they didn't pull the shot too long or anything). Overall, this place is so cute and a great place to hang out on a weekend or even study and they also have great outdoor seating. I came here on a Sunday morning when there was a great farmer's market right outside on Melrose Place. 

Recommend: Go on a Sunday and hit up the farmer's market!  Great outdoor seating on a beautiful day.

Notes: Not the best coffee, but a great vibe.
