If there's one thing Alfie's got right in its name, it's "wholesome." From their outdoor seating, to their fresh-made food, to their phenomenal staff, this hole-in-the-wall is definitely wholesome. There are several options of good eats that will satisfy any picky eater, and fulfill their appetite. This was my first time here and I am beyond thrilled that I found this little joint. They have a case filled with fresh prepared dishes, including chicken salad, egg salad, and beet salad (as pictured), along with other delicious dishes that I will come back for soon. They also have several natural and made gluten-free options, including some of their treats such as muffins and shortbread. They also have several handcrafted drinks, including fresh-squeezed orange juice, rosemary lemonade (as pictured) and many others. Whether it's to eat outside at one of their tables, or to bring home, Alfie's most certainly doesn't disappoint and brings "wholesome" full circle.
Alfies is wonderful. They are always exceptionally kind and the food is good and predictable every time. The service is very fast, and friendly. The ambiance is good- the only thing is- I wish they had indoor seating/ more space. They're doing great with the space they have, but I'm hoping one day they'll open a restaurant, not just a grab and go cafe. Although, the outdoor seating is great in the warmer months. I've had sandwiches, salads, lemonade, the $14 pb&j (it's not actually $14 but it is around $5 which still seems steep for a pb&j, especially when I usually have two kids with me. So $10 for them to eat pb&j just isn't worth it to me). Everything I've had is yummy, aside from the egg salad. The pricing seems a little high. However, you do get what you pay for- fresh ingredients, healthy food, fast and kind service. It's definitely a treat oh, and the brownies are delicious and huge!
One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Absolutely delish and very affordable for the quality of the products ($8). Service was awesome and everyone was incredibly welcoming and kind. The seating area is in a really lovely garden area! There is a couple of umbrellas for shade and lots of greenery. Bonus points if you can spot the birds nest.
The gentleman at the front was kind and gave me a quick tour of their foods and goodies that they serve. I got "The Alex" sandwich which was great! The lemonade there is also the best I've ever had! Thanks folks!
Nourishing, delicious food with fantastic service and prices. We shared the V.W. Sandwich and the deli salad trio and would order both again. Great options for eaters of all kinds!
They have the BEST blondie I've ever had! Yum. We were in town for a few hours and wanted to grab some food between ciders next door. This is a cute little shop with fresh to-go food. Loved the egg salad... one of my favorites for sure. Their other proteins were good as well including turkey meatloaf and chicken salad which were the ones we tried. Friendliest people ever inside. Learned they have been open for about 10 years! We definitely would recommend it here for a quick bite. Almost everything they serve is cold though (except maybe soup?) I believe so keep in that in mind. They also have a precious little patio out back where you can enjoy your meal
SUCH a cute restaurant! Talk about small town, local living at its finest. Tucked behind an historical house smack in the heart of Granville, Alfie's has a BEAUTIFUL, large outdoor patio seating area. There's some many spaces to sit outside, some on different levels; simple, but beautiful flowers and plants all around just scream "summer living!" Note: the inside space is very small, like holds two super small two-top tables, so I imagine the colder weather means mostly take-out and to-go orders. The offerings are well rounded. Alfie's is a deli setting, in that they have cold pasta dishes and salads in giant serving bowls in the display case. Sandwiches are on the physical laminated menu. Breads, bags of pasta, pastries, etc. line the countertop area. I picked the V.W. sandwich and it was splendid! The little sweet pop from the homemade fig jam mixed with the savory turkey and brie cheese, dang it was so satisfying! I swapped whole wheat bread for the baguette, and it was soft and chewy, just what I was hoping for. I got a delivered-that-morning fresh strawberry baked donut from a one-woman home bakery making healthy baked donuts that are under 230 calories each, and selling them at a few places around town - one of them being Alfie's. Was a fantastic meal!!
