    Pumpkin chocolate chip loaf with espresso glaze. So soft and moist
    Camille W.

    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.

    Sinatra salad (seasonal) to-go with light dressing
    Gabi M.

    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!

    Nice sunset view of the front before the next storm.

    Had the chicken lime rice plate, it was very tasty and fresh. Healthy and delicious. I will definitely come back! Friendly staff too.

    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.

    Build Your Own Salad

    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!

    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

    Homemade Chorizo Burrito

    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.

    Ancho Potato Breakfast Burrito
    Chym C.

    I really enjoyed the Ancho Potato burrito, especially paired with the homemade salsas, the avocado tomatillo salsa was particularly delicious. It's a great option for vegetarians and it's quite filling.

    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.

    Homemade Chorizo Burrito
    Sunny S.

    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.

    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. I also had a burrito and an amazing GF donut. Not to mention the GF tortilla tasted too go to be true. Very modern vibe with primarily outside seating. 9/10 GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY!!

    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 is in the Viceroy hotel, right as you walk in off Ocean. It is a Friday morning after I was…read moreexcused from jury duty and I just wanted a quick bite... and a beer. It is nice, classy, calm, and inviting. Service seemed to be a bit off put by me sitting down without a room, but we'll let that slide cause the food was amazing. You know when you order a breakfast burrito and you get to the end and it is 99.9% tortilla? This one wasn't that! Full of flavor with creamy avocado, crispy bacon and fluffy eggs. The salad is simple but pairs well with it, so does the Pizza Port Mango DIPA. Idk if it is enhanced Franks hot sauce, but it had a bite (mind you I cook with Thai chilis and habanero on the regular). If you are staying at the Viceroy or just in the area, for breakfast, I recommend stopping by. Aaaap... standard 20% gratuity. Good service so I was going to give it to them anyway (my actual server didn't give me any sideways look and was very friendly)... but if that erps you just FYSA

    First of all, automatic 20% gratuity for everything no matter the party size is wild! I get a…read moreservice charge to help pay benefits but gratuity is a direct reflection of service and should not be automatic - especially for drinks! Secondarily, the food was mediocre at best. I requested a medium rare steak frites and that sucker came out still alive, drenched in I don't know what sauce. I couldn't discern who was playing the lead role...the sauce or the still mooing beef. Lastly, our waiter was good enough but honestly, I felt bad. The gentleman was quite a bit older and was not friendly at all. He either has to work or wants to still work. The former is an unfortunate reality of our society and I applaud him for putting forth the effort. Serving is not an easy gig! The latter, I would maybe suggest a pivot.
