I'm sad to see some of the negative reviews about Alfie's on Yelp, so I will attempt to give my best review and prepare you for your (hopefully great) Alfie's experience. For those not from Granville, please note that Alfie's is set back from Broadway, to the left of the library. If it's raining or snowing, please note that Alfie's does not have ample indoor seating for your party of more than 2. Plan a to-go order instead! The menu is fresh-prepared daily and is quite delicious. I've never had anything I did not like there. That said, if progressive, American healthy food is not your fare, don't come here. We're talking amazing kale salad, roasted beets, quinoa, curried chicken salads, etc. Their desserts are flawless, buttery, perfectly baked delicacies. My all-time-favorite anything there is the VW (turkey, brie, fig jam) or the PB&J. They are happy to cater with enough notice! read more

Had some trouble finding the place as its set back from the street next to the library. The place is tiny. And only has room for about four people on the inside. It makes an effort to remedy this with a lot of additional seating outside but it was practical as it was a very cold day. We got a ginger cupcake that wasn't too sweet and a chocolate cookie that was a hit with the kids. The salads and prepared foods looked amazing but we didn't try any. I really like that they also tell you where all their foods ingredients come from. I'd love to try on a warmer day so we wouldn't have to take the food to go. read more

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, is Absolutely delicious. Turkey Meatloaf (T.M.H.T) and the Sam I Am are my favorite sandwiches. Kale salad, chickpea salad, and Beet Salad are to die for. Always some seasonal special dish (jalapeño cole slaw to name a fall favorite) is always exciting. Blondie brownies will make you want to hide in the closet and eat it all by yourself. A must try if in the Granville area! read more

I loved the food at Alfie's. Was a somewhat regular visitor after long runs on the bike trail in town. I'd typically load up on beet salad, caprese salad, and a host of wonderful pastries to refuel. Unfortunately the owner, Sam, is a pretentious, moody, and rude person. I engaged in what I thought was friendly banter about a pastry item that wasn't a regular menu item. To Sam, this was the most taxing experience of his day and necessitated a fainting couch. I am very disappointed to lose Alfie's as a go-to spot for great food but I cannot support a business that treats its customers with such contempt. read more

The food is great! I had the chicken salad, brussels sprouts and root vegetable fries. All are well seasoned and well cooked. The salted toffee brownie is amazing! Cute space, limited seating. We will definitely be back. read more

Alfie's - Chicken salad, brussels sprouts, root vegetable fries, coffee Blondie - Vegetarian Near Me - Granville, Ohio

Alfie's is great! I always get fresh squeezed orange juice when I'm in. Even though I'm (unfortunately) not super into "healthy" food, I still enjoy the food here. Great vegetarian options--sandwiches, salads, ect. I only wish it were bigger, I've been in when it was cold/rainy and unfortunately it is only big enough for a couple people inside. read more

Words cannot express how amazing I think this place is! Everything they make is fresh and delicious. I currently live 45 minutes from Granville and yet I make a weekly trip to Alfie's because the food/atmosphere/overall experience are truly worth it. Love, love, love this quaint little cafe style restaurant! read more

Just an amazing restaurant and almost everything was gluten free!! I really appreciated how clean the kitchen and restaurant was. They used quality ingredients and were very friendly. We loved it so much we would love them to open up in Upper Arlington too!! read more

I love this place! I've been 3 times now and highly recommend the sandwiches! And salads! Mostly everything. Good for a quick, healthy, and filling lunch. And the employees are incredibly welcoming and helpful when trying to decide from all the options. It's become my Wednesday treat. read more

Favorite place for lunch (or breakfast) in downtown Granville. Great tasting and healthy food. Friendly good service and reasonable prices. Cannot go wrong with either a salad, a plate or a sandwich. Love the sandwich combinations. Sweets too: brownies, cupcakes and cookies. read more

The food and atmosphere are on point at this local, organic food joint! I have been here a few times and am never let down. I would recommend the bow tie pistachio pasta side dish hands down. I cannot recall the sandwich I've had but with sprouts and hummus it is delicious! You can literally taste the freshness! Every staff member that I have interacted with has been very nice and accommodating! Try it out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for the price tag. The workers are SO nice and the food that they have for lunch is so yummy! Their apricot chicken salad was so good, we bought some and had sandwiches with it for the next two days! It's such a fun place to try! The space is small but if you're in town for lunch in the summer, go grab some food at Alfie's!! read more

I've been using Yelp for a few years but have never actually signed up or posted a review until today. Yelp led us astray with Alfie's. After reading glowing review after glowing review, we figured it was the place for us. Once we squeezed in to the tiny location we were initially impressed by the array of salads and sandwich possibilities. Things got a little confusing when a bewildered child with an iPad took our order. You see, there was customer behind us who had ordered cheesecake, but did not actually receive his dessert, so he came back in from the patio to ask for it (very politely, in my opinion.) An adult employee emerged from the back and responded in a condescending and rude manner. I can go on about the awkwardness of this exchange, but there are far worse things to comment on. Once we ordered, I paid in cash and the bewildered child said they'd bring the food out. A few minutes after settling in to an outdoor seat, the youngster brought out my wife's sandwich. We asked about mine- the bewildered look returned, and he went back inside. A few more minutes passed and the rude & condescending man brought out my sandwich and said "you weren't charged for this, so you might want to come in when you get a chance and pay for it." Confused, I grabbed a menu, added up our total- two $7 sandwiches, 2 drinks, and a cookie came to the $20 we paid, so I went inside to clear things up. The rude man immediately looked up at me and said he "hadn't figured it out yet" and demanded that I return to my lunch and come in to pay after I was done. Two bites into the turkey meatloaf and I was done. No flavor, cold, dry, and loaded with overly-herby hummus. As we were giving up on lunch, the rude man came back outside and introduced himself as Sam, the owner. He explained that there was no record of our order or our payment. He also said there was no way to show that I had paid. I assured him that I had, but it was obvious by his condescending tone that he thought I was stealing this very underwhelming food from him. If I could have given this experience zero stars, I would have. I have never seen anyone in food service treat customers with the contempt that this man did. Sam, if you do read this, I paid for my lunch and it was not delicious. Your attitude made it that much worse. read more

Alfie's is literally a hidden gem. Tucked away on Broadway between the library and museum, you don't want to miss it! I am a huge advocate for anything local, especially when it comes to the food I consume. I was so happy to find that Alfie's feels the same way, and I am now a huge supporter! I didn't give it five stars because the menu probably isn't large enough to please everyone, but I guarantee you will leave feeling full and satisfied in the healthiest way possible. Not much seating either, but perfect for a lunch on the go! read more

Alfie's is my favorite place to eat in town! They have tons of options and delicious food.

Heard about it for years and finally got to try it. Everything was amazing as advertised. Worth the wait but it definitely won't be long before I go back. read more

My Mom and I popped into Alfie's on Saturday morning and had the day's frittata, granola with Greek yogurt, and fresh salads. We also shared a pot of French press coffee, which was brewed for exactly four minutes. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. A friendly, casual atmosphere with affordable yet upscale food. read more

Had a great lunch here. Will definitely return. Food was excellent, fresh, made in-house, and local. Just a note on the prices, the owner told us the tip is included in the price of the food when tried to leave a tip. I love that! read more

Alfie's food is amazing and so healthy, featuring local grown products. The Happy Tummy salad is a delicious spinach salad with chickpeas, quinoa, sunflower seeds and more! Tucked away from traffic it provides ambiance plus nutritious food at affordable prices. read more

This place is amazing! Local and fresh food that tastes absolutely delicious and is good for you too! What more could you ask for? Tucked behind the museum and library, this Granville gem is certainly never to disappoint and offers a variety of organic, good-for-you food. The fresh-squeezed orange juice is worth the price, and don't even get me started on the potato salad! If you're on a diet and want to eat out, or just wanting to enjoy some lovely local eateries, this is your place! read more

I went here recently when I was in Granville for a workshop. I was looking for something healthy and quick and this little place was just what I needed. The guy working the counter was so nice. He explained everything that they offered even told me how almost everything they make is made with local products. I decided to get a sandwich called the Mr Tea. It was so good! The bread was fresh and the fig jam was sweet and tasty. Perfect sandwich!! Really a cute little joint. There isn't really much of a seating area but a small window counter which was fine. Plus with it being in downtown Granville who wants to sit around. Next time i am in Granville I will for sure stop in. read more

Alfies' is awesome! Love their chicken salad, tuna, not to mention their baked goods for breakfast (pumpkin choc. chip bread, blueberry scones, etc.). Everything is super fresh! BTW, great french press coffee! I'm super-picky and love this place. read more

One of my favorite places in Granville! So many delicious options and healthy too!! I highly recommend!!

The sandwich I had was good. It's mostly sandwiches made with cold cuts like turkey. They have some interesting sides abd jams! All of the ingredients were fresh and staff was nice. For my sandwich, which came on wheat (that's all they have, maybe white bread), a bag of chips, and a drink, it cost me $12 and i was still hungry after. This is more of a place to go for a light snack. The building is very small, so I'd make other arrangements for eating your food vs. Sitting inside. I liked it but would only go back if I were really in the mood for a turkey sandwich. I guess I feel like I could very easily make this food at home and stretch that money out for multiple sandwiches! read more

Alfie's is fantastic! I have loved every thing I've tried. My go-to sandwich is the Mr. Tea. It is a turkey sandwich with a cream cheese and pepper jelly spread topped with plenty of fresh sprouts. It's delicious. Get a side of potato salad or hummus. The salads never disappoint also. Go with the Greek or Cobb. The inside is a teensy little place so get it to go or sit outside with friends on the patio if the weather is nice. I would give 6 stars if I could! read more

Alfie's is probably my favorite restaurant outside of Columbus. My dad and I have a tradition of coming here every Saturday and having breakfast and then going across the street to the farmer's market. I get the greek yogurt with house made granola...every time. It is delicious. I am a HUGE granola and greek yogurt fan, and finding a good bowl of it is always a treat; Alfie's exceeds expectations. I've also had their coffee, which is French press style, brewed to order. It takes about 4 minutes and costs $3, so if you've got the time and money to blow, it's pretty decent coffee. $3 is a little more than I like to spend on a cup of coffee, but overall, their prices aren't bad. The pastries run about $2-$3 (I've heard both the blueberry scone and muffins are tasty), the granola and greek yogurt is $4, and their salads and sandwiches are about $4-$7. For the price, you get a nutritious, filling, local, and most importantly taste bud pleasing meal. The building can be a little tricky to find if you don't know where to look or are just wandering around aimlessly. Its a very small house tucked behind the Granville library. Emphasis on the "small" because it is very close to a shack. They have a few small tables outside, and one small table inside. Great to enjoy a meal outside during the summer, but I'm not too sure about the winter. The employees are all really nice and you can tell they have a love for serving their customers a product they care about. Overall, Alfie's is a good find with with even better food. read more

My favorite spot to eat in Granville! We just recently got married and I had my bridesmaid brunch catered by Alfie's. Sam and his staff were so wonderful to work with and made the day so special. He even coordinated with the Robin's Hunter museum next door so we could have our brunch in their garden. The food was delicious and healthy as always! I can't say enough about this little gem. A must if you're in Granville! read more

I live in Columbus, but I would consider driving the 40 minutes to Granville everyday just to be able to experience Alfie's desserts, salads, and fresh squeezed lemonade. My favorite items on the menu include, a granola stuffed pb&j with freshly made peanut butter, a perfectly chewy blondie that I literally crave always, and a crunchy, citrusy kale salad. If you are looking for an enjoyable pit stop and you're in the Granville area, I 100% recommend Alfie's!! read more

This is a great place for anyone! They have a wide variety of soups, salad, side dishes, and sandwiches. They also focus on local and organically grown foods. I've had the egg salad, beet salad, chicken apricot salad, kale salad, tuna salad, spicy coleslaw, and I've probably had more but just can't remember. The main point is that it is ALL very good!!! read more

Alfie's is fabulous. I have been there 5 or 6 times now, and every time has been as good as it gets. I am very selective when it comes to food. I eat mostly fresh and completely homemade food at home, so when I go out, I can be picky. But Alfie's has never disappointed me. Everything is as fresh as can be. They use quite a lot of locally sourced items and the care given to using those items is apparent in every bite. From the ice tea, to the salads, sandwiches and deserts - I have been very pleased. The service is also great and I always feel welcomed there. Way to go Alfie's! read more

I go often to Alfies. Always fresh. Always tasty. The meatloaf, kale salad, and butternut squash salad are my favorites. Their soups are also excellent. Had the kale, white bean, chicken soup. So yummy. Service is always friendly. read more

Absolutely love this place! Great, local foods that taste fresh and delicious! I will be back again and again!

Alfie's is great! I love that they use local produce as much as possible and that their prepared foods are all gluten-free. There's no indoor seating, but there is outdoor seating for when the weather's nice. read more

Always a great experience! Amazing salads with fresh and healthy ingredients! Love the Turkey Meatloaf! The soups are also interesting and delicious! read more

I saw Alfie's online and went there about a week and a half ago. The setting was great, off the street nestled between the library and a museum. There was plenty of outdoor seating among the flower boxes and landscaping. There's only enough room for a couple of tables inside during the cold weather months, so prepare to get it "to go" during those months. However, I couldn't imagine a better place to enjoy a lunch inside during a snowfall. The facility was fantastic. We thought it was an old house, but the staff explained it was originally the 1st bank in the county. The food was amazing and locally sourced. We had a lot of questions and all 3 staff members that day not only answered them, but went out of their way to describe every offering, in depth. Everything tasted as if it had been pulled from the garden minutes before our arrival. I would love to work my way through the menu. I strongly recommend Alfie's. I live in Columbus and it is worth the trip and should be part of your Granville "experience." read more
