Cafe Matcha
About
Cafe Matcha is Alfred Coffee's matcha-only spot on Ventura Blvd in Studio City, done up like a retro American diner with booths and Formica tables. There's zero espresso, just matcha drinks and desserts, and weekend brunch hours usually mean a wait.
Jasmine says
Alfred gave a whole diner over to matcha.
Retro booths, Formica tables,
and not a drop of espresso on the menu.
A flagship experiment, only in Studio City.
A whole diner Alfred opened just for matcha.
