    Street parking was available on Washington! It wasn't so busy when we entered but during normal lunch hours it got busy! I got the Turmeric Ginger lemonade and it was absolutely refreshing- loved the zing to the lemonade. I got the Peruvian Chicken Salad - the seasoning of the chicken was delicious- I did appreciate the crunch from the tortilla chips. I also brought home three donuts-- GF! Two fairy bread donuts and a mascarpone donut for my daughters and husband. I did try the mascarpone and it was delicious-- I wish I got more!

    Stopped at Alfalfa for lunch with my daughter. Had a wonderful meal! We ordered two wraps and shared them. We had the Dear Darla and the Buffalo Goddess. Both were so good. The wraps are generously sized and stuffed with all the yummies so every mouthful is wonderful. We also had the ginger turmeric lemonade and the chocolate brownie. Recommend you try both!

    I fear I just don't understand the hype. Got the Calabrian chili chicken Caesar wrap and it was good but nothing to write home about. However, the employees were nice and there were good seating options/vibes.

    Fantastic salad spot for a quick lunch! Ambiance & Service: two tables outside and more tables inside. It's clean and food came out relatively fast! Food: - Buffalo Goddess Salad: Delicious!! Loved the buffalo cauliflower and green goddess dressing. Salad was very filling and lasted two meals! 100% recommend!

    This was my first time trying this place out. My friend recommended it because of the clean selection of salads/wraps they have. We walked in on a week day so we basically had the spot to ourselves. The service was pretty quick, too. I was impressed with the size of the wrap I got. One half of the wrap alone was pretty filling and had a great amount of protein so no scrimping with that. We were offered to have our leftovers bagged which was really nice, but we bagged ourselves. Definitely a great spot to take a break and catch a bite.

    Great salad spot in Hoboken. The salads are well prepared and generous in portion size. I'm sad the Cobb was removed and since they took toppings off the menu (including bacon even though it's offered in other dishes) I'm making do with the other choices. It would be nice to have some more variety overall.

    Bacon Burrito in gluten free wrap
    Ali B.

    I am a regular here for their gluten free donuts and Calabrian Caesar Salad. Today I ordered a breakfast burrito (in a gluten free wrap), WOW! It was fantastic. The gluten free wrap was toasted and tasted as close to a "regular" wrap as it could. It comes with a crema and hot sauce which I got on the side. It tasted fresh and arrived steaming hot. Every bite was delicious and I am excited that their wraps can be made gluten free, I had no idea. 10/10 recommend. This was the Bacon Burrito.

    I loved every second of my experience at Alfalfa! From moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a charming, cozy atmosphere that instantly feels like home. The decor is quaint and whimsical, which makes for a great environment to get some work done or catching up with a friend. All of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help, which made the whole experience even better. I had an iced matcha latte that was perfect and not to sweet and the most amazing gluten-free donut that I've ever tried. They're pure magic for anyone unable to have gluten. They have an incredible selection of flavors, the blueberry lavender one that I tried was so good that I had to question whether they were actually gluten-free. The texture perfect, light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It's refreshing to find a place where gluten-free treats aren't just an afterthought but are truly delicious and convincing. Whether you're gluten intolerant or not, you'll love these donuts! I immediately signed up for their rewards program and am excited to visit as often as possible. Absolutely a must visit!

    Lavender Doughnut (~$4)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Oat Matcha Latte (~$6) Ancho Potato Breakfast Burrito (~$11): La Fortaleza flour tortilla, eggs, ancho chile potatoes, Mexican cheddar and pepper jack, onion, red pepper, with avocado added (+$2) served with avocado tomatillo salsa and spicy salsa roja de arbol Lavender Doughnut (~$4) Aya's take: Did I expect to spend $20+ on a quick breakfast? No, but it was pretty solid, I will admit. This was going to be my only meal for hours so the Ancho Potato Breakfast Burrito caught my eye. And it was well worth it. The flour tortilla was nice and warm and all the ingredients tasted clean, fresh, and complemented the others well. The added avocado was so necessary - it added that layer of creaminess and broke through the other savory ingredients nicely. My only complaint was some bites of the ancho chile potatoes were less cooked than others. Now the Lavender Doughnut was incredible. For one, all doughnuts are homemade, and secondly, the lavender tasted so legit and the lavender buds on top were a nice touch. The Iced Oat Matcha Latte was the least impressive thing I ordered. It had a bit of a chalky consistency and definitely could've used a bit of vanilla or simple syrup. The aesthetic is nice and it's a cozy spot to grab a bite. Great try overall!

    Buffalo Goddess Salad
    Isabel A.

    Stopped in and was seriously impressed by how many salad and wrap options they had--tons of variety! I went with the Buffalo Goddess salad and it hit the spot: super flavorful, super filling. The service was so quick too. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but honestly, it felt worth it. I didn't realize they're also known for their donuts--will definitely be back to check those out next time!

    Shivani S.

    It a cute space with lots of natural light. It was my first time and I ordered their seasonal summer salad turned into a wrap. It was a bit sweet with peaches in it but overall it was ok. The strawberry basil lemonade was refreshing. Service was ok.

    Awesome portion for the price!

    I've been ordering lunch here the past year maybe longer and can't believe I'm just getting to a review...want a salad? Get alfalfa. Delicious, nutritious, great serving size for the price--not that small plate they give you at other restaurants that cost you $12+ no--alfalfa salads are worth every penny. My favorite recently have been the collaboration they've had with mygirl wellness (now discontinued) and Buffalo Goddess. I've shared a wrap with my son when we needed something quick to grab but kept up the 'veggies most' way I like to eat; for my boy who typically only eats cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers for veggies--he loved his alfalfa wrap that had ALL the fixings (we shared the Italian). Breakfast wraps are also soo delicious! Homemade chorizo is my personal fave. Also those GF donuts are everythingggg...mascarpone is still my favorite even when they made they switch to GF. Apple Cider may be my second favorite (seasonal) but honestly I love all of them. The bone broth is also too notch. I never ate in here but may in the near future. When I pick up in person, everyone is usually friendly and welcoming. The ambiance seems super chill and laid back too.

    Cute and cozy with great salads and also coffee? Yep, yep, yep. I am so happy I found this spot that is absolutely perfect for grabbing a table and working for a few hours. I've stopped in a few times and always got one of their salads and either a coffee or tea and have never been disappoint. It is a great casual spot with a surprisingly affordable menu. All of the ingredients are fresh and flavorful and the meny has so many options. On my last visit I got the seasonal sweet pear salad and oh man... it has pomegranate seeds (and a very generous amount of them), pears, roasted sweet potatoes, walnuts, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and a balsamic vinaigrette *chef's kiss* Also worth mentioning, the portion sizes are pretty great! Their homemade and gluten free donuts are a big part of their menu but I have never given them a try. But they are on the list. Go for a casual and easy and delicious lunch. I am very sure you will leave full and happy.

I tried the pistachio and rose flavor, and the sponge-like, moist texture was so good. It would have been perfect and super absorbent with a cup of tea. These are definitely specialty donuts that feel handmade and would be great for events like a birthday or a wedding, something with real significance. The service was excellent. The owner of the donut stand, when I saw her at Holi Seaport (downtown Manhattan), was very nice and humble. Even though she was working a packed station, she still took the time to serve me personally. She sold out all her donuts, which tells you just how amazing they are. The ambience depended on the event, since it was just a stand -- I didn't go to her actual shop in Weehawkens. Given that she does a lot of events between New York and New Jersey, the vibe will vary depending on which one you attend.

We got both vegan options they had that day (tiramisu kulfi cardamom and spiced chai latte), and they looked great for our snack. We didn't see the prices before ordering (not my usual MO, but it was busy and they brought over the unit to tap our phone), and when we saw the charge later, we were floored. Smorgasburg pricing is always kind of ridiculous, but this was so high that we thought something went wrong with the order. Over $30 for TWO donuts after taxes and fees? I'm all for supporting small businesses, but for two small donuts, that's kind of outrageous. For the price we paid, I'd expect the best donuts I've ever had in my life, and while these were fine, they were not that. Since the flavors are Indian-inspired, they're flavors that are not common at other donut shops, which is great, but the pricing is just completely off. Pretty donuts, but can't see spending this much again.

There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

So far I've had the chocolate dipper, double chocolate dipper, Brooklyn creme, vanilla creme, strawberry creme and Boston creme. They never disappoint. All of the staff members are efficient and sweet, even when the shop is busy. Even if there's a line or they are making a bunch of orders, their service is consistently extremely fast without sacrificing quality. Their matcha latte and regular coffee latte are also pretty good. The cups are adorable. The interior is the old diner from back in the 90s style, and surprisingly they have a decent amount of seating considering how small the establishment is. Run, don't walk!
