0:00 We're sitting here on Melrose Place.
0:01 We're going to use these coffee spots Los Angeles to help us tell the 0:07 story of these different retail places.
0:09 So we are at Alfred's on Melrose Place.
0:13 Alfred's to me is like the OG cool coffee shop.
0:15 So what we're drinking today is the OG Chagaccino.
0:20 I'm , I'm kind of nervous for this one.
0:22 We're sitting here on Melrose Place.
0:24 You know, you've got maybe about two blocks of retail.
0:27 It's not as curated as some of the other streets.
0:30 And when I say that, what I mean is you've got luxury, you've got The Row, you've got athleisure, you've got contemporary, you've got aspirational, you've got coffee shops, you've got caviar restaurants.
0:45 You can get a facial, you know, so you've got a little bit of everything all in one place.
0:52 We've got our Veronica Beard, your Frame. Up here on the corner.
0:56 This store, Biologique has some of my favorite skincare products.
1:01 You have Globe-Trotter which chose to have Melrose Place as their flagship.
1:05 And I think that , to each and every street, because every street has such different DNA in LA.
1:18 What does that say about your brand?
1:20 Who are you?
1:21 You know, Gucci just .
1:23 You've got Golden Goose on the street.
1:25 There's a lot of ivy.
1:26 The buildings are really pretty.
1:29 They feel special.
1:31 This chap chapachingo, chaga, uh, what's it called?
1:35 I think we're, this is O.G. Chaga, Chagaccino, Chagaccino.
1:40 So the OG Chagaccino, it's a blend of wild foraged chaga mushrooms, cacao, cinnamon, vanilla, and monk fruit topped with Alfred espresso and milk.
1:52 It's not bad at all.
1:54 I thought with all of that chaga mushrooms and stuff that it would be different.
1:58 Interesting.
2:00 So I guess you don't drink this stuff for the taste.
2:01 It's for the, like, calming, focus effect.
2:05 We're gonna do a scale of 0 to 10 coffee beans.
2:10 I'm gonna give this a 7.5.
2:12 That's my score.
2:13 I'm gonna .
2:14 Okay, so 7.5. OG Chagaccino.
2:18 .
2:19 This is Melrose Place.
2:21 Where are we headed to next?
2:23 Next, we're gonna to Santa Monica.
2:25 We're gonna to the west side.
2:28 Um, yeah so we'll to Montana, we'll go over to one of my favorite coffee shops over there.
2:33 Okay, awesome, let's go.
2:34 Let's go.
