Alfalfa
1110 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ
Crema's Take
“This Hoboken spot nails the sweet spot between a quick coffee grab and a lingering destination, with a fun, quirky personality that shines through in everything from their signature Sinatra Chopped to carefully spiced platters featuring tender, aromatic preparations. The staff's genuine warmth and the consistently fresh, high-quality ingredients across their curated menu—whether you're ordering an organic salad or a full breakfast—make it feel like a place that knows exactly what it does and does it exceptionally well. It's the kind of neighborhood gathering spot where you can fuel up fast or settle in for a meeting, and leave feeling welcomed.”

Fresh, vibrant and tasty organic salads are certainly not boring. Fairly good portions as well and friendly staff.
Their platters are great, love the aromatic taste of the herbs and spices. The meat was tender too. It’s a cordial atmosphere and the service is friendly. The food came out relatively quick. Will definitely come back to try other dishes
First time here and already a fan. The staff were super friendly and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I tried the Ancho Potato Burrito it was so good! The flavors hit just right, and it’s super filling. Their sauces are amazing (I may have asked for extra) and the salads look really fresh. Ended the meal with a brownie which was soft, rich and just the right amount of sweet. You can tell they put care into every item. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.
Great salads! Fast casual spot. Highly recommend. The Sinatra Chopped is my favorite. Staff is always really friendly and ingredients are fresh. FYI for owner: I recommend you take another look at Google map listing. When I search “restaurant” “fast casual food” or “healthy food” it doesn’t come up on map for me. I have to search for “salad restaurant” to find it. I always forget the name of this place and it takes a few minutes for me to find it. Probably missing out on some new customers, too!
Fun and quirky! I appreciate shops that have an identity and do what they do well. The menu isn't large, but everything on the menu is high quality. There aren't a bunch of options just for the sake of having a bunch of options. The decor is simple but it pops. The shop is brightly lit and stands out. The staff was really friendly. You can order at the register, on a touchscreen, via their app or website, or a third-party food app. I like the "Leave a note. Take a note." jar. Good vibes from random strangers. The salad portions are large. The wraps aren't messing around, either. So definitely bring an appetite. The drinks available are unique and tasty. I definitely recommed Alfalfa!
