Westside blogstar hopefuls will soon have their own fashion-friendly neighborhood coffee shop. In addition to opening a 500-square-foot mini-café at that massive multi-space development (where Alice + Olivia and Cycle House will also live) across from their Melrose Place hangout, artsy typography lover Alfred {Coffee & Kitchen} is also bringing its stylish coffee sleeves and #10DollarLattes to Brentwood.
Alfred tells us their West LA joint will open this fall across from Lululemon and not far from Tracey Anderson's celeb-faved studio. And about that Alfred, In the Alley spot: It's scheduled to serve coffee, pressed juice and pastries in early November. Cross your fingers that Alfred's soon-to-be Melrose Avenue neighbors take a hint, too.
