Alfalfa is always a good idea and I am never not in the mood for a delicious, giant salad or insanely stuffed wrap. I think I have been to every (East coast) location and I love them all. 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. read more

Alfalfa is tasty offering of burritos with great sauces and salsas, okay lattes and very expensive but fulfilling smoothies. Do not expect to fill up for the cheap at this counter service establishment but healthy food awaits those who order. Vibe inside is healthy girl, clean minimal aesthetic read more

Food was very on point. The service was great and the salad was exactly what I wanted.

This place is the bomb diggity. Clean and inviting. Interesting combinations. Fresh, healthy proteins including vegetarian options. Paloma and Kim were so welcoming and helpful. You rarely see employees who provide this level of customer service, especially at a place with counter service only. Take out is efficient and quick. There are tables inside and two outside. Brownies with homemade peanut butter whipped cream were sold out, but looked delicious. House-made iced tea, lemonade or chai or bottled drinks rounded out the beverage options. We really enjoyed our salads with chicken breast tossed in their dressings. read more

Having frequented the Alfalfa location in Hoboken, I was excited to try the Princeton store to grab a refreshing salad on a summer day. The interior is nicely decorated with a giant splash of salmon pink and they had several areas to sit, tables, benches, etc. This place is perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner if you're trying to keep things healthy. There's a kiosk near the entrance where you can place your order, otherwise you can also go up to the counter and order with the staff. I opted for the Laguna salad which came with a very generous mix of the protein and avocado combined with their fresh alfalfa mix (kale, romaine, butter lettuce) and other veggies. You can tell they use very fresh ingredients and don't skimp on the portions. I felt very full and satisfied after eating my salad! One of the staff members was very friendly and helpful. Kept asking customers how everything is going, would get them water cups, was making sure tables and the entrance door were cleaned (dude deserves a raise!) Overall, highly recommend if you're in Princeton and want something refreshing where the salad actually tastes amazing! read more

Alfalfa - Laguna Salad - Salad Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

On a beautiful, warm spring day, after touring the Princeton campus to check out the sakura blooms, I wanted to grab a vegetarian quick bite, but I wanted something healthy. Thankfully, I spied Alfalfa, a great place to grab a healthy salad bowl. I ordered their seasonal special, which was their Forbidden Salmon Market Plate. I was a bit disappointed with their serving size and felt the salmon was a bit overdone. I could deal with the bowl being smaller than their regular salad menu, but paying an extra $6 for a smaller bowl stung a little. Their service was excellent, though, so I just chalked it up to being a very busy time. I've eaten here before and can attest, their food is very good. Sometimes, we just have a miss. I recommend coming during off-hours because the lunch crowd can be overwhelming, and seats will be hard to come by. Street metered parking can be a bit challenging, but there are parking garages. read more

I got my absolute fave which I always get -- Alfalfa wrap which is a mix of delicious greens, apple slices, candied walnuts, goat cheese & honey yogurt dressing mixed in with extra on the side for yummy dipping.

Alfafa, you've outdone yourself. Just, WOW. They always do a great job on creating an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel so relaxed and right at home. Do yourself a favor and get the Poblano Canyon Chicken Plate. The chicken is cooked to perfection and keeping the skin on gives it extra flavor and a perfect crisp, truly feels like a home cooked meal. The cilantro rice is delicious and beautiful. The corn has a great kick, beans are amazing and the kale is salad adds such a fresh taste. It's a very generous portion of food and VERY toddler friendly. Drinks: The iced matcha latte is truly noteworthy. It's not too sweet where you dont taste the matcha yet still so creamy and delicious. I crave it on the daily. This was the first time we tried the fresh pressed ginger turmeric lemonade, we were very pleasantly surprised. It's very refreshing and it is honestly delicious . Desserts: you gotta try the chocolate brownie with peanut butter whipped cream, it's amazing. What's not pictured is the apple cider donut that we inhaled which has now ruined all donuts for us. Both were gluten free which you could never ever tell. Thanks Alfafa for a great time, you have a great staff and incredible food. read more

Cute new aesthetic spot in princeton. I tried the peruvian chicken salad and far east salad. Both were good portion sizes and tasted really good and fresh. We also tried the lemon thyme donut. I couldnt really taste any thyme but it was still good. They have some other things on their menu that look pretty good so will definitely come back to try read more

A great new option for salads in the Princeton/Montgomery area. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The Peruvian chicken was juicy and flavorful. Didn't get a chance to try the other proteins, but will do next time. They don't skimp on the portions either. Even my picky 6 year old loved his salad! The only comment I would have is that the rice could be fresher, but I do understand that it was the end of the day and maybe it wouldn't make sense to cook another batch. Also, another suggestion would be to have steak as an additional protein option. And the donuts are delicious... I should have gotten another one... read more

Alfalfa - A Must-Visit in Princeton! I almost never write reviews, but Alfalfa's grand opening completely blew me away, and I can't stop talking about it! The moment we walked in, the atmosphere was pure joy, peaceful, welcoming, and full of great energy. My wife, who is super picky, hasn't stopped raving about the Salmon dish. The spicy cucumber mix, forbidden rice, furikake, and spicy cashew dressing? Absolutely next level. Her friends' salads were just as impressive, vibrant, fresh, and beautifully crafted. As for me, I had the Bacon Burrito, and let me tell you, it was a showstopper. This wasn't your typical burrito; it was perfectly assembled with bold, unforgettable flavors. The real cherry on top? Seeing Chef Sasha Pagan running the kitchen. I've worked with Sasha before, and his insane tenacity, creativity, and passion for great food are unmatched. In our inner circle he's our real-life "The Bear"! Knowing he's behind the magic here makes Alfalfa an absolute no-brainer. Princeton just got a serious behemoth upgrade with this spot. If you love incredible fresh food and a joyful vibe, with a chef who would stand in the Walk-In and inspect every Bell Pepper and Brussels Sprouts for blemishes making sure only the best gets used! Don't wait get to Alfalfa! You won't regret it. Austin DiFerio CEC, CCA, CCE read more

Alfalfa has been a game changer for the Downtown Princeton food scene. No matter what you get, you're guaranteed fresh and flavorful food well worth what you paid. I love the poblano market plate and peruvian chicken dish. As someone with severe nut allergies (those two are the only dishes I can eat there!), I've been happy with how the staff is so considerate of all allergies and cross contamination. Overall, one of my favorite places to go in town! read more

We ordered Alfalfa to cater our event. Everything on the menu is fresh and delicious! The items come nicely packaged and labeled. All of the employees are friendly and professional too. Such a pleasure to work with! Thank you! We will definitely be ordering again. read more

Amazing quality and kind staff. Lots of options for customization and, unlike similar salad places, they are generous with the premium options (adding chicken to a salad provides enough protein for two solid meals in my opinion) read more

I brought a dozen of the gluten free brownies to my daughter's home in upstate NY for the Labor Day weekend. Although my daughter sticks to a healthy regiment of diet and exercise , she enjoys searching NYC for the best cookies and brownies, and gluten free is always a plus. She said the Alfalfa brownies were the best she had ever tasted! read more

It was my time at Alfalfa but it won't be the last. I had the OG Cardini and my friend had the Far East salad. Both salads were delicious and when my friend wanted a different vegetable and dressing, they were able to accommodate. The carrot cake was great too. In addition, service was impeccable. They checked in on us to explain the ordering system, they went around the tables asking if we needed anything, and I even saw the cashier running out the door after someone forgot their dressing. They went over and beyond to serve. Very impressed. read more

Burritos were awesome. Chef Sasha came out and talked to us about how all of the ingredients are super fresh and how he came out of retirement because he believed in this restaurant so much. Only complaint is that its pricey but still worth it. read more
