    Lemon Thyme Doughnut
    Barbara C.

    Great Alfalfa location with indoor and outdoor seating. Indoors sat around 8 people, and outside there were a few tables. The interior is clean with eye catching displays of merch and items to buy. The service was great and the cashier was very friendly, offering recommendations. Ended up just doing a quick stop with a Cappuccino and donut. The Cappuccino was solid - Flavorful and generously sized. Ordered a Lemon Thyme donut - very citrusy! Good texture.

    Happy 1 Year Anniversary Alfalfa Hoboken! Used my reward points and got the amazingly delicious brownie with peanut butter goodness! Love the positive messages! Always leave a note! Street metered parking

    Sunflower Wrap
    Katarina L.

    Alfalfa has perfected the Big Salad and I rarely want to go anywhere else for exactly that. Their uptown Hoboken location has been a long time favorite, but now that they have expanded to downtown Hoboken as well as JC (and also Princeton!!!!) there is even more big salads to love. I usually will always get the sweet pear salad if it is on the menu since it is seasonal but if not, the Greek salad the Sunflower salad are also delicious. And I will almost always add chicken. And boom, the perfect lunch. On my last visit to this location, I opted for the Sunflower as a wrap for the first time and it's just as delicious. I am a notoriously messy eater, so this was not the most ideal meal for me to be eating out in public. But that's no ones fault but myself. The Sunflower comes with the classic Alfalfa leafy mix of a few different greens, avocado, walnuts, chickpeas, apples, sunflower seeds, quinoa, and a really great balsamic dressing. It might be my new go to. I also sometimes will get the ginger turmeric iced tea if I need something cold, but their lattes are delicious and all of the locations have self service water canisters. Like their others locs, this new spot downtown is great for grab and go (order ahead) but also grabbing a table and the wifi password and staying for a bit for some remote work. This location used to be an old general store, and while I miss it, it's definitely been replaced by a local favorite.

    Peruvian Chicken Salad
    Jeff M.

    Alfalfa 92 Bloomfield St. Peruvian Chicken Salad The overall salad was decent. In addition to hearty chunks of chicken, It was topped with black beans, corn, grape tomatoes, tortilla chips and Oaxaca cheese. However, I was not a fan of the avocado tomatillo salsa as I feel it was too thick for a salad dressing. The dressing kind of reminds me of slime. Minus the dressing, I was highly satisfied.

    Spicy Caesar wrap.
    John V.

    Location is cute. Staff is super nice. Ordered the spicy Caesar wrap. The wrap is supposed to be a dollar cheaper than the salad, but it was only $.50 less when they rang me up. They also ran out of one of the ingredients in the wrap and compensated another guest who ordered via the app with a free drink, which was nice, but they didn't offer me anything since I ordered in person. I got about five small pieces of chicken. It was very overpriced and very disappointing. The staff did step up and make it right. All my friends rave about this place, maybe it was just an off day but probably won't be returning for the nearly $17 I paid for the chicken wrap that was 90% croutons.

    Green goddess custom salad.
    Bloss C.

    I absolutely love this location, it's so much more convenient! I've had two salads from Alfalfa recently, their Greek salad and a custom salad with green goddess dressing. Both were great and I like that you can also get any salad as a wrap, which my fella prefers. Ordering ahead and picking up has been a very smooth process and my order was ready by the time I arrived to pick-up. I also like that the portion size is generous. The only thing I would change about this place is I would like a piece of bread on the side with my salad.

    I have never seen anything quite like Aux Merveilleux de Fred. What an absolute delight! Not only…read moreare the desserts incredible, but the employees were so friendly and pleasant to deal with as well. The star of the show is, of course, the Merveilleux. It's made with light, airy meringue and whipped cream, then covered in chocolate shavings. It somehow manages to be rich and delicate at the same time. I can see why it's their signature dessert. They offer different flavors and sizes too, from mini versions to larger cakes that are perfect for sharing. One of the coolest parts of visiting is that the kitchen is completely open. You can watch the pastry chefs assembling these beautiful creations right in front of you. It's mesmerizing and makes the whole experience feel special. The bakery has roots in Northern France and Belgium, where the Merveilleux originated, but pastry chef Frédéric Vaucamps reinvented the classic recipe to make it lighter and more modern. Whatever he did worked because these pastries are unforgettable. A quick tip: cash only, so come prepared. Honestly, if you're anywhere nearby, I think you need to run there. Between the amazing desserts, the friendly staff, and the chance to watch everything being made fresh, it's one of the most enjoyable bakery experiences I've had in a long time. I know you won't be sorry!

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a tiny, beautifully fragrant shop on 8th Ave. I ordered the cold brew black and it was one of the smoothest, most satisfying first cups of the day I've had in a long time. Finding genuinely good black cold brew in this city is harder than it should be, and this one hit the spot so perfectly I made a second solo trip before sundown. The chocolate and almond croissant was delicate, flaky, and exactly what a croissant should be. The shop itself is small, no indoor seating, but two benches out front! The staff was warm and the whole place smells incredible the moment you walk in. I've already earmarked the Cramique for my next visit, because if it's anywhere near as good as everything else, I'm in trouble. Do yourself a favor and stop in!

I got an iced banana split latte, and it was absolutely delicious! Was not excessively sweet- you could actually taste the coffee too, which is important to me! I also got this super yummy buttery croissant (don't remember the name) with pecorino romano cheese and mozzarella. It's set up like an open faced sandwich- which I liked and it made it easy to cut and eat with minimal mess- unlike when it's put together like a sandwich and those yummy flakes go EVERYWHERE- when you are dressed up, this makes a difference! I liked that you can stand outside and order or go inside. It's charming and has an old time sophistication inside. They also have a few outdoor seats. There was the slightest wait- so maybe bear that in mind if you are rushed and can't be patient- but a little wait for high quality food and drinks is well worth it! Those things take time. Definitely plan to visit again!

Though the dispense was out of soap. Great experience overall!
