The Scoop
Alfred sits on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, opening at 6:30 am. The Boulevard runs the length of the Valley and this stretch is the one that fills with people heading somewhere at seven in the morning, so an early door matters here. Encino is our quiet pick for a Valley matcha run, and Alfred anchors it. The full lineup is pouring: the iced and hot lattes, the strawberry version on housemade syrup, the POG Matcha over a passionfruit and guava base, and the Matchaga blend with chaga and lion's mane. The Boost protein matcha comes on grass-fed whey or vegan pea protein if the cup is doing double duty as breakfast.
