    Chorizo burrito
    Kheila L.

    Staying in the area while Traveling looking for gluten-free. This place is a cozy little spot. Many people come to work while they enjoy their food and drink. The service was great, very friendly and attentive. I had the chorizo burrito, some in my group had the bacon burrito. My mom is celiac and she had the GF bacon burrito and she had no reaction. The ginger-tumeric lemonade was also delicious and refreshing. Parking is street parking but on a weekday it wasn't too bad. If you need GF food this spot is a must!

    Street parking was available on Washington! It wasn't so busy when we entered but during normal lunch hours it got busy! I got the Turmeric Ginger lemonade and it was absolutely refreshing- loved the zing to the lemonade. I got the Peruvian Chicken Salad - the seasoning of the chicken was delicious- I did appreciate the crunch from the tortilla chips. I also brought home three donuts-- GF! Two fairy bread donuts and a mascarpone donut for my daughters and husband. I did try the mascarpone and it was delicious-- I wish I got more!

    Ginger turmeric lemonade, half Dear Darla Wrap, half Buffalo Goddess Wrap (swapped halves with daughter)

    Stopped at Alfalfa for lunch with my daughter. Had a wonderful meal! We ordered two wraps and shared them. We had the Dear Darla and the Buffalo Goddess. Both were so good. The wraps are generously sized and stuffed with all the yummies so every mouthful is wonderful. We also had the ginger turmeric lemonade and the chocolate brownie. Recommend you try both!

    I fear I just don't understand the hype. Got the Calabrian chili chicken Caesar wrap and it was good but nothing to write home about. However, the employees were nice and there were good seating options/vibes.

    Fantastic salad spot for a quick lunch! Ambiance & Service: two tables outside and more tables inside. It's clean and food came out relatively fast! Food: - Buffalo Goddess Salad: Delicious!! Loved the buffalo cauliflower and green goddess dressing. Salad was very filling and lasted two meals! 100% recommend!

    This was my first time trying this place out. My friend recommended it because of the clean selection of salads/wraps they have. We walked in on a week day so we basically had the spot to ourselves. The service was pretty quick, too. I was impressed with the size of the wrap I got. One half of the wrap alone was pretty filling and had a great amount of protein so no scrimping with that. We were offered to have our leftovers bagged which was really nice, but we bagged ourselves. Definitely a great spot to take a break and catch a bite.

    Bacon Burrito in gluten free wrap
    Ali B.

    I am a regular here for their gluten free donuts and Calabrian Caesar Salad. Today I ordered a breakfast burrito (in a gluten free wrap), WOW! It was fantastic. The gluten free wrap was toasted and tasted as close to a "regular" wrap as it could. It comes with a crema and hot sauce which I got on the side. It tasted fresh and arrived steaming hot. Every bite was delicious and I am excited that their wraps can be made gluten free, I had no idea. 10/10 recommend. This was the Bacon Burrito.

    I loved every second of my experience at Alfalfa! From moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a charming, cozy atmosphere that instantly feels like home. The decor is quaint and whimsical, which makes for a great environment to get some work done or catching up with a friend. All of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help, which made the whole experience even better. I had an iced matcha latte that was perfect and not to sweet and the most amazing gluten-free donut that I've ever tried. They're pure magic for anyone unable to have gluten. They have an incredible selection of flavors, the blueberry lavender one that I tried was so good that I had to question whether they were actually gluten-free. The texture perfect, light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It's refreshing to find a place where gluten-free treats aren't just an afterthought but are truly delicious and convincing. Whether you're gluten intolerant or not, you'll love these donuts! I immediately signed up for their rewards program and am excited to visit as often as possible. Absolutely a must visit!

    Great salad spot in Hoboken. The salads are well prepared and generous in portion size. I'm sad the Cobb was removed and since they took toppings off the menu (including bacon even though it's offered in other dishes) I'm making do with the other choices. It would be nice to have some more variety overall.

    Lavender Doughnut (~$4)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Oat Matcha Latte (~$6) Ancho Potato Breakfast Burrito (~$11): La Fortaleza flour tortilla, eggs, ancho chile potatoes, Mexican cheddar and pepper jack, onion, red pepper, with avocado added (+$2) served with avocado tomatillo salsa and spicy salsa roja de arbol Lavender Doughnut (~$4) Aya's take: Did I expect to spend $20+ on a quick breakfast? No, but it was pretty solid, I will admit. This was going to be my only meal for hours so the Ancho Potato Breakfast Burrito caught my eye. And it was well worth it. The flour tortilla was nice and warm and all the ingredients tasted clean, fresh, and complemented the others well. The added avocado was so necessary - it added that layer of creaminess and broke through the other savory ingredients nicely. My only complaint was some bites of the ancho chile potatoes were less cooked than others. Now the Lavender Doughnut was incredible. For one, all doughnuts are homemade, and secondly, the lavender tasted so legit and the lavender buds on top were a nice touch. The Iced Oat Matcha Latte was the least impressive thing I ordered. It had a bit of a chalky consistency and definitely could've used a bit of vanilla or simple syrup. The aesthetic is nice and it's a cozy spot to grab a bite. Great try overall!

    Buffalo Goddess Salad
    Isabel A.

    Stopped in and was seriously impressed by how many salad and wrap options they had--tons of variety! I went with the Buffalo Goddess salad and it hit the spot: super flavorful, super filling. The service was so quick too. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but honestly, it felt worth it. I didn't realize they're also known for their donuts--will definitely be back to check those out next time!

    Shivani S.

    It a cute space with lots of natural light. It was my first time and I ordered their seasonal summer salad turned into a wrap. It was a bit sweet with peaches in it but overall it was ok. The strawberry basil lemonade was refreshing. Service was ok.

    Awesome portion for the price!
    Melissa R.

    I've been ordering lunch here the past year maybe longer and can't believe I'm just getting to a review...want a salad? Get alfalfa. Delicious, nutritious, great serving size for the price--not that small plate they give you at other restaurants that cost you $12+ no--alfalfa salads are worth every penny. My favorite recently have been the collaboration they've had with mygirl wellness (now discontinued) and Buffalo Goddess. I've shared a wrap with my son when we needed something quick to grab but kept up the 'veggies most' way I like to eat; for my boy who typically only eats cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers for veggies--he loved his alfalfa wrap that had ALL the fixings (we shared the Italian). Breakfast wraps are also soo delicious! Homemade chorizo is my personal fave. Also those GF donuts are everythingggg...mascarpone is still my favorite even when they made they switch to GF. Apple Cider may be my second favorite (seasonal) but honestly I love all of them. The bone broth is also too notch. I never ate in here but may in the near future. When I pick up in person, everyone is usually friendly and welcoming. The ambiance seems super chill and laid back too.

    Knead Some Love has been everywhere on my Instagram feed, so I naturally had to try their donuts…read moreinfused with Indian culture -- think Gulab Jamun or mango lassi flavored ones. I tried the pistachio and rose flavor, and the sponge-like, moist texture was so good. It would have been perfect and super absorbent with a cup of tea. These are definitely specialty donuts that feel handmade and would be great for events like a birthday or a wedding, something with real significance. The service was excellent. The owner of the donut stand, when I saw her at Holi Seaport (downtown Manhattan), was very nice and humble. Even though she was working a packed station, she still took the time to serve me personally. She sold out all her donuts, which tells you just how amazing they are. The ambience depended on the event, since it was just a stand -- I didn't go to her actual shop in Weehawkens. Given that she does a lot of events between New York and New Jersey, the vibe will vary depending on which one you attend.

    SCAM. SCAMMM. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE. went to…read moresmorgasburg and saw these beautiful "donuts" with exciting flavors like rose pistachio and mango lassi. I looked for prices everywhere. NO. WHERE. TO. BE. SEEN. I decide let me just get 3 to try them out they can't be that bad they're pretty small I tapped to pay and looked at my phone... $50 FOR 3 LITTLE DONUTS. FIFFFTTTYYYYY. To make matters worse there was NO FLAVOR. NONE. how does something with pistachios and rose taste exactly like a mango lassi donut. There was no difference. Just dense garbage with no flavor. Tasted awful. I felt like I ate a nobake donut made in a EASY BAKE OVEN. it was awful!!!!! They purposely don't show the prizes and the check out lady compliments you and starts talking about the weather to distract you from what you're about to be charged. SCAM.

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!
