Alfalfa
160 First St, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Alfalfa is a thoughtful neighborhood gem where regulars have their go-to orders (like the legendary ancho potato burrito) and newcomers quickly become converts thanks to generous portions and care that extends from the kitchen to the customer service. The vibe is unhurried and welcoming—perfect for lingering over breakfast or a meeting—with a genuine commitment to quality ingredients like olive oil-based preparations that make you feel good before and after eating. Their tartines, salads, and wraps hit that sweet spot of being both nourishing and craveable, backed by a staff that actually listens to what you need.”

I usually order the ancho potato burrito with avocado (if you know, you know 😌), but this time I tried some of Alfalfa’s new breakfast items and was really impressed. The Avocado Tartine is simple but done so well — great sourdough, perfectly ripe avocado, and the crispy shallots and superseed crunch add just the right texture and subtle heat. The Organic Yogurt & Homemade Granola was a standout too: thick, tangy yogurt with cardamom-forward granola, fresh strawberries, and a touch of sweetness from the jam and honey. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully made. An easy go-to for a solid breakfast or brunch in JC.
Yesterday we had an issue with our delivery order through a 3rd party service. The manager Katie was extremely helpful and was able to get our correct order delivered. She even included some complimentary desserts. We have enjoyed Alfalfa in the past and recommended it to family and friends but this extraordinary customer service has us impressed yet again! We highly recommend this location! Thank you for the incredible service! Looking forward to our next experience!
Great sandwiches and wraps. Eating here make you feel good than and after which is more important about what you consume for your health
Great food and generous protein portions. Friendly staff and they happily gave me extra dressing on the side. They also advertise that the food is made of olive oil which is a great sign. Glad that places like this are thriving in the neighborhood.
It has totally become my favorite salad place!! Such big portions with tasty sauces, a variety of toppings and reasonable price. I ordered their delivery several times and it’s consistently great:) I recommend crafting your own bowl or wrap, Peruvian Chicken salad, Cobb salad. would love to visit their store someday!
