A friend once suggested we meet here for lunch because he thought I was overly healthy and only ate salads. He couldn't have been more wrong, but I think I ordered one anyway just so he wouldn't feel bad. I came back with my wife while we were strolling down Main because she actually wanted a salad. Of course, she loved the aesthetic. It's exactly what a bougie Westside spot serving $15+ salads should look and feel like. I'm a breakfast burrito guy, so I was skeptical of theirs, but they nailed it. The two sauces were great too. The chill back patio is also dog-friendly. We had a nice lunch and would come back. read more

Can only comment on drinks as that's all I got but I ordered ahead a simple whole milk latte. Was ready before time which was great. Coffee was delicious. I took a look at their food menu and I'll definitely be back to try their bites. read more

Neighborhood spot on Main Street in Santa Monica. Ordered the Chicken Poblano Plate and the Peruvian AJi Chicken in a wrap. Both were very fresh and all around a good meal. There is street parking available and both indoor and outdoor seating with a few umbrellas. The staff was very helpful since it was our first time visiting, and his recommendation was on spot! read more

When Alexa suggested a quick lunch on a recent Monday and gave me a few suggestions, I took one look at the Alfalfa listing on Yelp and was sold by the the menu, photos, reviews and more... and my experience there did not disappoint! We shared two salads: the Sinatra and the Greek with chicken and also had a couple of tortillas on the side. (We both enjoy making little wraps this way and I highly recommend it!) Both salads were delicious... we especially loved the spicy honey mustard dressing that came with the Sinatra salad. Service at the counter was super friendly and helpful. So many other menu items sounded amazing and I would be here all of the time if I lived in the area. Can't wait to go back! read more

Alfalfa - Sinatra salad (seasonal) to-go with light dressing - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've heard great things about this place. Came here for the first time today and I already know I'll be back whenever my dad visits. My dad has a notorious sweet tooth and he was BLOWN AWAY by their brownie topped with whipped peanut butter. This was a stop along our Mystery Picnic and I'm so grateful they introduced us to this place. My dad likes the brownie so much that I'm literally writing this review from the car as he runs inside to purchase a second one. read more

Alfalfa - Pumpkin chocolate chip loaf with espresso glaze. So soft and moist - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Past the Urth on Main Street is Alfafa. It's a breakfast, lunch, coffee, pastry place that has a little of something and everything. I tried the Peruvian chicken salad. The chicken was well marinated and the salad was filling. The cilantro avocado dressing was very tasty. The coffee was satisfying. I didn't order the brownie, but I really wanted to! There is a neat outdoor patio in the back. Casual. Street parking. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

BATE AND SWITCH PRICING. Was going to order from here until we noticed that the description lists ingredients that you are then CHARGED for because those things (ie Kalamata olives and feta cheese in the Greek salad) are NOT actually INCLUDED. How do you have a GREEK SALAD without those 2 key ingredients??? I just called to confirm. Bummer bc the salads sound good. But I can't support that kind of BS. Just include the standard ingredients listed and set the darn price. Christ! We are all very over this à la cart scam job! Nope. read more

This place has been on my list for a while because I love healthy and I love salads so this place seemed right up my alley. Really cute from the outside, some seating outside and they have a back patio as well. Pretty simple inside, you order with them and they bring out your food. It's not Chipotle style where you see them scoop the ingredients in front of you. We built our own bowl and added peruvian chicken thigh (extra cost) and avocado (extra). They have really tasty dressings... we got lime cilantro but the lemon herb is also delicious. Also for all those that are dairy-free, they have a dairy-free caesar dressing which very really excited me to see as caesar salads are one of the things I miss sometimes since cutting out dairy. The salad was ready and came out really fast. I thought it was really good! Everything tasted fresh. Not sure it had a ton of protein included, I had to keep digging in order to find pieces, but overall I was happy with it and would definitely come back if I was craving a healthy salad in the area. Super friendly staff here too! read more

2nd time here & actually obsessed. First time I came in for the breakfast burrito which SLAPPED. Your girl loves a breakfast burrito w lots of salsas. Tonight, Maura and I shared the Laguna and the Buffalo Goddess wraps & the freshness was perfection. Emmie helped with the heater outside on a windy day & made sure we had all the dipping sauces. Will be back for bone broth since it was sold out .. and of course more wraps read more

Alfalfa - Ancho Potato Breakfast Burrito - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Used to LOVE this place and would go often. Got mild enough (though still a problem) stomach issues from multiple dishes too many times. Then, on my final visit, ended up with bad food poisoning and that was the last straw for me. Food that should be hot is often not quite; food also is either ready immediately or takes forever even when there aren't any other customers waiting. I can't know what's happening in the kitchen, but the overall experience was generally that it was inconsistent and not being well-run. FOH and customer service are friendly. Food safety training standards need serious re-review. read more

Well...this place might have good reviews...but don't order the buffalo wrap. So many conflicting flavors. Spent $25 and ruined my night. Also, I thought these were salad heavy and hardly had any greens... Take this one off the menu guys.... read more

Took over 10 minutes to put a drink in a cup... it was in a dispenser so there really was no reason to take so long. not ideal if you have things to do.... I had to ask about my order to actually get it moving. Don't expect it to be a quick stop, seems like a lax place where everything and everyone takes their time. The drink itself was good but not super memorable. read more

Delicious, healthy food, but a bit too overpriced to make it a "regular" spot, especially with the smaller salad portion. But the plates and dressings are pretty unique! If you're in downtown SM and looking for something healthy, it's good to stop by. read more

Delicious, healthy lunch spot with huge wraps filled with tasty macros that do a body good. The service is warm and prompt and they really care about making sure they don't kill people with allergies. Cute outdoor seating out front to sit and people watch while enjoying a casual lunch, and there's seating out back as well. Awesome lunch spot! read more

My wife and I went to alfalfa for breakfast. They have some of the best breakfast burritos in the area! The service is top notch the gentleman helping us was super nice! The coffee is also great! They have a patio in the back where you can enjoy the food. Highly Recommend: Chorizo Breakfast Burrito Bacon Breakfast Burrito Highly recommend Alfalfa if you are craving a burrito. Def have to come back and try some of their other items. read more

I love the whole salad wrap concept. It is delicious. I don't know if it's worth $14 but I guess that is the price these days. I got the Dear Darla. The chicken was good and the yogurt dressing. I would get this again and try different ones. read more

Everything here is WOW! Immediately I was welcomed but friendly staff who made me feel beyond welcome. Best matcha I've had in a while, and I drink a of matcha.

1st time trying the chorizo burrito & was not expecting for my cholesterol levels to rise...very greasy- ensure you have many napkins on hand. Giving it 3 stars bc the taste is good & therefore is promising if they were to reduce the amount of oil they cook it with. read more

Love this spot for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. Everything I have tried has been great! I love the Laguna in a gluten-free wrap.

This review is mostly a reminder to myself to never come here again. I've given this place so many chances.. ordered a chicken Caesar wrap last night and got food poisoning. They are using old ingredients, absolutely DISGUSTING. Also, filter reviews by 'lowest rated' and you will see all the reports of food poisoning, wish I saw that sooner. Alfalfa should be SHUT DOWN by the health department. Stop giving these places your business, they don't care about quality, you're just funding their expansion. All the reviews on here must be fake or from delusional transplants. read more

Phat wraps, potato stuffed breakfast burritos, and Nutella bites! What's not to love?!! Alfalfa is equally healthy and filling. I come here on my lunch breaks multiple times a week. The staff is so friendly. Love their hot chai lattes and donuts too. Drooling right now. I wish they had smoothies and breakfast bowls! read more

Second time ordering from here and had such high hopes after having such a great meal the first time. I got a bowl last time so decided to switch it up and got a wrap. Will def be the last. It did not have as much flavor as the bowl for sure it kept falling apart making it super hard to eat. The chicken was also super dry. Will stick to the bowl moving forward! read more

Alfalfa - Chicken wrap - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I have been meaning to try Alfalfa ever since I learned about their Larchmont location when the run club I go to had an event there. When I saw they had a location just down the street from the new workout studio I've been going to I was like, I should give it a shot! You go in and order off a tablet and I got the Peruvian chicken wrap and the cold brew. There is a patio out back if you're dining in which has a decent amount of seating but can fill up quickly. When I first got there on a Sunday around 12:30pm or so it was completely packed. Thankfully I was able to snag a table. The Peruvian wrap tasted really healthy with a nice crunch and the avocado lime dressing is chef's kiss. BUT! The highlight for me is the coffee. Their cold brew is so flavorful! I really loved it tbh. The wrap is like honestly whatever -- tastes great but I wouldn't write home about it. But the coffee!!! Unexpectedly great lol. They use Intelligentsia coffee apparently which I've never known what the hype is about whenever I see it BUT NOW I DO! Whatever they're using here I'm about to cop it to make it a home lol. read more

For the girl up front- Sorry to bother you by ordering food. It seemed like I was really inconveniencing you by ordering breakfast.. My bad... Called in for breakfast right as they opened. Told me 7-9 minutes. Ended up taking 30 minutes, and the girl up front was so rude and it really seemed like I was a burden to her, especially over the phone. Guys in the back- rolling burritos with bare hands that he's wiping on his pants as he works... First and last time. read more

Just wow! Did not expect this to be so good! Ordered the Chicken Poblano plate and Alfalfi Salad. So much incredible flavor in each bite. And wonderful customer service! read more

Lunchtime delight at Alfalfa in Santa Monica! Prepare for lunch dates or meetings with a side of epic flavor adventures. If you're an Elaine fan from the show Seinfeld, whenever I think of her, I think of the line "I want a big salad? or "Do they have BIG salads?" Alfalfa really delivers on that. My lunchtime adventure at Alfalfa is nothing short of awesome, and I've got a new BFF in town - the Buffalo Goddess salad. The salad is an alfalfa leaf mix with wild rice, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, sweet potato, sunflower seeds, and creamy goat cheese. The buffalo cauliflower has just the right kick of spice and the sweet potato is like a cozy caramelized hug in every bite. Its that perfect spring/summer salad you need to give you enough energy the rest of your work day and to power through after lunchtime. I add chicken to this salad for some more protein and it keeps me full and satisfied until dinner time. I've also tried their Ginger Turmeric Lemonade which is the perfect sidekick to my salad adventure. It's a zesty fun blend of ginger, turmeric and lemon that'll tickle your taste buds. So, if you're up for a great lunch pick me up and a "big salad" like Elaine from Seinfeld, Alfalfa is the place to be, and the Buffalo Goddess salad is the real deal. And believe me, you'll want to come back for more - I know I do! read more

One of my favorite spots. Great tasting and good quality food. Love the salads and the wraps.

We loved Alfalfa! The breakfast burritos were very good, I had the chorizo one and my wife had the peppers one I think. We both really enjoyed them. The green salsa with it was spectacular if you enjoy cilantro you will love it. We also split an apple donut. Was very moist and dense. My wife had an iced coffee she said was very very good. Definitely would check out for a quick cute breakfast! Staff was super friendly and helpful! read more

I work near here sometimes and glad to have it nearby. The coffee and food has been tasty and the staff friendly. I appreciate the plant-based options. I just can't believe there are no vegan dessert options! My group has a vegan and a person with a dairy allergy and for such a health-minded cafe, it is a real wasted opportunity to not have at least one vegan sweet treat! I would also like to see more vegan/plant-based dressings. read more
