    Dear Darla Salad
    Michelle L.

    Came here Monday about noon. Not busy inside but lots of takeout orders. Cashier was extremely kind and patient as we have never been here before. We ordered Sunflower & Dear Darla and she asked on a salad or a wrap, which I didn't know you can have it in wrap; so I found this helpful. As she typed in our orders she also asked if we would like to have drinks, which we both agreed to have the iced chai and turmeric ginger lemonade . The salads were good. Though nothing spectacular. I feel like this is a salad I could make at home easily and have a few for the week for price we paid combined. Also, no sunflower seed in my sunflower salad! The space was very clean, spacious and well maintained. Though as I mentioned it was noon and not crowded,so probably able to upkeep any employee and customer mess with ease. I recommend for a good salad on the run. I will try a wrap next time with maybe more substance to see if I can up my rating.

    This is an honest review. There is not a lot of parking (of course it is jersey city) so take that into consideration. I ordered their most popular salad and it was underwhelming for me. I felt like the lettuce bits were too big, there wasnt that much chicken, and overall I thought my salad was average. There definitely is flavor and I liked the dressing but I just could not justify the price point of $16+ . Although I work in the area, I am unlikely to come back due to the parking situation and slight disappointment from the first order. Some plus points were that the inside of the restaurant looked clean and the staff looked friendly.

    Build Your Own Salad (with chicken, avocado, sweet potatoes and more)
    Jiali L.

    After going to Alfalfa a few times, we're definitely big fans! While we usually get the build your own salad option, I've also tried their seasonal salads every once in a while and I've enjoyed what I got! This is one of the few places where I've seen that you get money back (or deducted from the total price) when you remove ingredients. It's extremely fair and makes you feel as though they're not trying to rip you off (good value)! For example, if you get a seasonal salad and exclude cheese, they'll give you the value of the cheese off the total price of the salad. For build your own, you also have the ability to add ingredients including extra protein (which is fairly standard). They're great about putting things on the side if you request it (this applies to ingredients and not just dressing) and even having the option to have different amounts of dressing or for it to be mixed in/on the side. The portion size is good as well. We're very happy with the quality of the ingredients and we'll continue to be repeat customers for sure!

    New topping in my salad - live beetle!
    Kristy C.

    Was a huge fan of alfalfa - albeit pricey, salads were delicious and I did order weekly. I never complained when toppings in my salad were missed and ended up in my boyfriends salad, but the last time we ordered, we found a live beetle in my salad, a topping no one wants to see. Nothing like forking food in your mouth and seeing a critter running around the bowl. For such an expensive salad, I expected a lot more and will not be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere. I did contact the team to let them know they have quality control issues and they did offer me a full refund and a $10 credit for my misfortune, but that's not enough to regain my trust when I puked my brains out.

    Amalfi Alfalfi Coast Salad (Summer Seasonal)

    Alfalfa is what my salad dreams are made of. It's always fresh and nutritious. This location has ample seating arena too. I ordered Amalfi coast salad which costed me $18.

    Lavender donut delicious
    A'Yanna E.

    Met my friend here finally after forgetting to check it out for a while. Such a cute cafe! Pink is so calming and brightening to the mind. The service was great and so were the donuts! I'd never had a pure lavender donut...it absolutely tasted like lavender worth a try. There are only maybe 3 tables all next to each other in a sort of sectional design so I can't say it's a place to work/cowork at for hours. A pop in with a friend seems natural here. There's lots of traffic here so you never know who you'll meet. Go, enjoy!!

    Yes, yes, and hell yes!…read more Do not come here to complain about the price or anything else. I am extremely picky about food, and this sandwich hit every flavor note perfectly. I drove 20 minutes home before eating it and honestly thought it would be soggy by then, but it was not at all. The bread was soft without being dry. The pesto was hands down the best I have ever had. Even the chips paired perfectly with the sandwich. The red onions were sliced perfectly, the turkey was generously packed in, and the lettuce and tomatoes did not overpower anything. You could taste every single component working together. From the bread, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, chips, turkey, pesto sauce, and the other sauce, every bite had balance and flavor. I also ordered a cookie butter coffee. I have definitely had better coffee before, but honestly this one was perfect because it was not overloaded with sugar like Dunkin. So for me, it was just right. The staff member was also amazing. I originally ordered a bagel, but it was forgotten. I reminded her, but then I saw someone else order a sandwich and asked if I could switch instead. They told me the bagel had already been made, and I said it was totally fine and that I would just take both because I did not want to be a bother. Instead, they resolved everything for me. I am so sorry for the confusion, but thank you guys so much!

I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

    The cake here is very good! Super moist, and the frosting is light and fluffy when ordered fresh…read more Unfortunately the 2 cupcakes I got, both alfajores and the chocolate covered one too were stale, like super hard and dry. So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. 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!
