But I do sometimes forget that they are also a cafe and the perfect spot, if you can find a table, to take out your laptop and get some work! I stopped in while in Princeton for work and not only needed wifi but needed sustenance. I got the Far East Salad, one of my recent faves, and an iced matcha latte and took a seat on their little wall of stairs. -Wifi was strong -Matcha latte was refreshing and delicious -Far East salad was soooo good! I love the crunch broccoli, the flavorful tofu, the dressing. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend. The team is friendly and fast and brings the food right over to you. I have always been a huge Alfalfa fan so I can safely say you will love them.

We ordered: Mezze Filistini- mix platter of hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammarah, tabbouleh, salata tahina and labneh (great way to sample the different dips) Mix Shawarma Sandwich (funny thing, this took FOREVER to arrive.

We got our complimentary bread with olive oil n zataar and waited for our quick order of the spicy chicken kebab plate large portion with 10 pieces . The bread was soft but not anything unique or fancy . Just dough cooked through in their wood burning oven It took about 10mins to get the entree and it looked colorful and beautifully presented . Reddish orange hue of grilled chicken kebab , resting on a bed of log he colored rice and side of green salad , it was an inviting plate of food . The kebabs were juicy soft , - flavor bomb that ti be les your taste buds . The rice was delicious and the side salad fresh and crisp . We relished every bite of our meal . Picked up the pistachio dream cake to go and tried it the next day at home . It was just meh... nothing to rave about . Chocolate mousse and ground pistachios with a creamy texture didn't make it very appealing Parking is a breeze at Spring street garage that is just opposite to the restaurant.

That kind of thing can happen in a restaurant next to the Princeton campus. This is one of the dangers of eating in a college town. So most of my observational powers and intellectual energy were turned towards general issues of demographic processes and global welfare and the way that these could be re-positioned in the social sciences. There was elaborate stuff going into my mouth. I was paying more attention to the elaborate stuff going into my ears. What was going into my mouth seemed overly fussy for what it was. But it was not unpleasant. * * * Had the agenda been a romantic evening, There been a bottle of wine on the table and The goal being to make the dinner last forever, Elaborate interesting dishes could have been welcome. So this place has its uses.

At first, walking in gave me a wave of nostalgia because it reminded me of the Olives I used to visit in New York City. While it's not the same restaurant, this one absolutely stands on its own. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, and my husband had a kale salad loaded with vegetables and all kinds of good things like pecans, carrots, red cabbage, chick peas and more...he loved it. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell the quality of the ingredients was a priority. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially for how good the food was. We took our meals to go and walked down the street to a picnic table, which made for a perfect, relaxed lunch in Princeton. Great food, great value, and a spot I'd happily return to. There were also some really good desserts to pick from as well, but I passed them up. Pro tip... there can be a line to order your food during busy times of the day.

In years past, a salad appetizer was usually a no-cost accompaniment to your meal or at the very least a single digit add-on. Now, add meat (I refuse to call it "protein") and you're looking at a $20 windfall for the house. Still, I love salad and if I'm not in my kitchen, it sure beats a triple decker heart stopper from Wendy's... or a triple bypass. Just Salad delivers tasty grazing for what I've been conditioned to accept as a reasonable price with the addition of meat bringing it up to that $20 threshold -- I'm a fan of their Buffalo Cauliflower varient. You and your cardiologist could do far worse. Four stars.

As we were leaving I reconfirmed it with the person at the host's desk ( seemed to be the manager) , who apologized and said maybe our waiter missed it . But it was a noticeable miss that cannot be overlooked, as that was the purpose of our dinner here. End of the meal, our family's spirits fell flat, but we still sang and celebrated sans the petty candle. Now on to the food and drinks... Mocktails were delicious, colorful, and eye-catching . We tried all 3 on the menu and loved it. Appetizers galore filled our table ... Bang Bang cauliflower had a medley of sweet & sour flavors. Hummus pita board - Warm grilled pita was a table favorite with the small portion of hummus and fresh crisp veggies. Harvest salad - crisp lettuce, feta cheese, walnuts, poached and fresh sliced pear, cucumbers, and watermelon radish with rose vinaigrette made this extra special. Crispy calamari - great pairing with pickled veggies and arugula basil aioli. We ordered an assortment of entrees with all seafood choices . Salmon with risotto , Halibut & Branzino cooked to perfection served with flavorful sides. For dessert, it was the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter cup . The brownie was soft and not too sweet, slightly warm and it vanished in a few seconds. Peanut butter cup was a dense donut texture with candied peanuts We hoped that at least one of the desserts would be served with a candle as we were celebrating a birthday but they missed it and didn't care enough despite letting them know when marking the reservation. I loved everything about the experience at Agricola, but their lack of attention to detail stuck out like a sore thumb , as the poor communication between their front desk and wait staff dampens the guests' experience , making it a not-so-great finish .

In contrast to their far more expansive location in Morristown, the Princeton location is noticeably more "intimate" with Manhattan inspired table crowding.
