If
this sound like a rework of a line from the movie, 'Casablanca,' you're right.
Regular Alfi's customers, Dorothy Ball and Shirley Jordan.
And the line does fit.
When you look at the collection of postcards
and photos that grace the walls of this establishment, you can see that Alfi's is the
place to be.

Over the years, Alfi's has
built quite a colorful collection
People from all over the world make it a point to
stop at Alfi's, time and time again, just to soak-up of Alfi's homey unstuffy Balboa
atmosphere while having a great breakfast.
John Alfi's mug collection, many were donated by Alfi's fans
Owner, John Alfi owned Rob's restaurant in Tustin for over
15 years until he sold it in 1994. It was in November of that year that John opened Alfi's
in Balboa, and it has been a Balboa favorite ever since. |
John, with the help of his
father, Jamil and his son Steve, along with the rest of the family on the weekends keep
things running smoothly. 
Three generations of Alfi's to serve you. John, Steve and Jamil Alfi.
In appreciation of Balboa's support for him, every
Christmas John gives free Christmas Dinners to everyone in town that has nowhere to go, or
just doesn't feel like cooking.
Alfi's Christmas Dinners have become a cherished Balboa
tradition. |
