Alfalfa in Santa Monica

My wife and I absolutely loved Alfalfa!! They had a delicious selection of donuts that are gluten-free. The lavender and lemon thyme were delicious! We also ordered the chorizo breakfast burritos and we really liked the side salsas. My wife ordered the matcha latte and loved it! Staff was super friendly and informative about the ingredients in their food. Music and overall atmosphere is a definite vibe! Highly recommend and will be coming back.

We loved Alfalfa! The breakfast burritos were very good, I had the chorizo one and my wife had the peppers one I think. We both really enjoyed them. The green salsa with it was spectacular if you enjoy cilantro you will love it. We also split an apple donut. Was very moist and dense. My wife had an iced coffee she said was very very good. Definitely would check out for a quick cute breakfast! Staff was super friendly and helpful!

Super clean and healthy — you’re able to customize and take out or add ingredients. I got the wild harvest wrap without the dressing, cheese, and with a gluten free tortilla. The ingredients were clean, filling and satisfying. I was pleased with the quality of the ingredients, and the sweet potatoe and apples in it tasted really fresh and so did the roasted chicken. The sunflower salad was also great - it had grains, greens, and I swapped out apple for strawberry, took out the dressing and overall I enjoyed the taste. I also added roasted chicken and it was fresh and tasted pretty quality. Overall the flavor of alfafa was pretty good and the presentation of the food was great; I rate food based off of freshness most of the time and alfafa’s food felt really fresh! I also like their pink aesthetic — would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quick sit down or to go place that is satisfying and not heavy. Honestly, no complaints

The place is very cute and the salads are great!! The portions are well served and filling! Bonus points for the cute patio in the back and front outside seating options

Hearty, flavorful not just greens salads with an option to create your own. Great friendly staff, quick service. Highly recommend.

OMG!!! This place was everything we were looking for and more. We were so pleasantly surprised by the food quality and the beautiful patios. You have a choice of street side patio or head to the back of the house for a private patio area. The burritos were amazing and we really enjoyed our lattes. We would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for vegetarian options or fresh food made quickly.Oh!! The donuts and Nutella bites look amazing, but we were too full from our breakfast wraps to go down that road. We have no doubt that they are great and they are gluten free as well

I will be back to try the salad. Only had one of their seasonal donuts, very good and light.

I should mention that Ive never actually been here. My moms employer provides food from different restaurants delivered to their office. One time she didnt finish her lunch from the day prior, so she brought home a salad from this place.I am not one to like salads, but the Dear Darla salad is exquisite. I ask her to bring to me every time now. Its my goal to make the trip out to Santa Monica just to try out other menu items.Ive had that salad like 5 times now and its always delicious. My only complaint is that its 50/50 whether they provide the extra dressing that is requested. Sometimes they do, sometimes they dont.

Healthy and satisfying, Alfalfa brings the one-two punch of substantial salads with a chaser of delicious and interesting donuts. With nearly a dozen salads to choose from, you’re going to find something that sounds perfect - and don’t forget to try their donuts (Lemon Thyme is a standout). Plus, after a fresh salad, you’ve basically earned your dessert.

New spot here in Santa Monica. I stumbled upon this restaurant in while doing some shopping on Main St with my girlfriend. The pink walls and patio seating really drew us to staying for a bite. We went inside to a long lunch rush line and knew the restaurant was popping! GM there was super accommodating running around, making sure everyone was being taken care of so service was immediately top notch. On top of that, the indoor aesthetic, interior design, bountiful lighting, music and displays really made the experience warm and welcoming. To add to that, they had a clean and spacious outdoor back patio, with a solid seating arrangement, and surrounded by lots of plants and nice lighting. All the details were there.For food we ordered the Peruvian Chicken salad, 2 donuts (HOMEMADE oreo and Australian butter), the chorizo burrito, and the ginger turmeric lemonade. Let me say it loud and clear for discretion: I NEVER GO OUT OF MY WAY TO ORDER A SALAD! But salads were the main dishes on the menu so I had to settle.THE SALAD WAS AMAZING! Ingredients super fresh and mixture flavorful. But what really satisfied me was the portion. Quality food with a hearty portion, I forgot I was mainly eating greens. That good. The chorizo burrito absolutely slapped as well, and the hot sauce straight fire. The homemade donuts were then the perfect dessert to top it off, and the lemonade was refreshing and enjoyable, Not too sweet but still light and tasty.DO NOT SLEEP ON ALFALFA! For a brand new spot here in Santa Monica, I was impressed all around, and you could tell the ownership/staff really put their heart and devotion into the quality of service, vibes, environment, and food. I would 10/10 recommend and go out of my way to get a salad from here again.
