Great burger & tempeh - Edit
It must have been more than 2 years that I had the burger at this place & it’s really good. I had the Guac and it deserves the title of ‘fan fave’ 😍
Read moreI ordered the sides of ‘chicky chicky’ which is tempeh in batter. Very tasty 😋
Pros: Lots of varieties , Reasonable prices , Good food

Fantastic Salads - Edit
We placed a pickup order, and it was ready exactly when they said!
Read moreWe tried a burger, salad, Mac & cheese, and the crispy cauliflower bites, and all were good! The cauliflower bites and salads really stood out. They were large with an adequate amount of dressing and toppings. They were absolutely delicious and my favorite part of the meal!
The burgers are a house-made lentil-based patty.
Pros: 100% vegan, Cozy interior , Healthful options
Cons: City parking

Such a fun find! - Edit
I haven't ever had a gluten free and vegan chicken sandwich option because usually the vegan chicken replacement is made of some sort of wheat. Luckily this one was tempeh and it was absolutely the best sandwich I've had in a long time! I got the Hot Chiky and a gluten free cookie, and the cookie was so good as well! Great and flavor texture for both, and the space is very vibrant.

Delicious and creative - Edit
Beatnik formerly known at By Cloe is a very creative vegan restaurant. Everything I have tried is always fresh and delicious, never salty. The staff are delightful, patient and very friendly. I look forward to Beatnik with I am in Boston. I especially love the baked sweet potato fries with ketchup made with beets

Centrico - Edit
Coincido con otras criticas: la hamburguesa gua (camole) deliciosa, pero las patatas, que no son fritas en aceite si no con aire, ni fu ni fa.

Love the guac burger - Edit
This is my go-to for a vegan burger. Love the guac burger combo with half and half fries, ketchup, and dipping sauces. It's a very satisfying bean burger (not an impossible burger). Yum!

Meh - Edit
Tons of vegan options however not everything was reliably seasoned (I had one of the burgers). The sauces could have been more flavorful and I was slightly disappointed by lack of creative vegan drinks.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options
Cons: Overpriced, Entrees could be more flavorful , Fries slightly dry

Very good! Tasty, good servings, helpful service😄 - Edit
I ate a fantastic quinoa taco salad and air-fried sweet potato fries here recently. The server was very helpful and friendly, and the food was delicious, fresh, filling, and in a large serving size. Would recommend and would go again! Also nice location to sit outside in the city. A great 100% vegan business to support!

A must try - Edit
The location is amazing, it’s just outside of Boston commons. And the food is even better. Their options are so unique and not something you would find anywhere else- this makes it a must try!
Read moreI’d say it is a little expensive (a full meal if $16ish) but so so worth it
Pros: Amazing eats, Great location

Can't 'beat' the flavor - Edit
Super impressed with the flavors and variety. Especially loved they even had desserts. I went with the chocolate chip cookie and it was really good. I would come back again for sure!!

Great food great staff - Edit
Burger is great. Some of the fries wasnt crispy and soft maybe they stuffed too much potato inside the airfryer. Tempeh tenders is great. I also had a red velvet cake and chocolate chip cookie and sprinkle cookie. Cookies are great. Would go again.

Super fast food - Edit
The tempeh tenders were great, and the mustard sauce awesome. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate that they use tempeh and not seitan like most other vegan restaurants do. In my opinion tempeh tastes way better than seitan, is way healthier, and seitan is tough to digest. I also really like how they use mushrooms as bacon, and sweet potatoes for cheese in the mac and cheese. They're certainly not serving health food but they do seem to use better ingredients than the typical vegan restaurant.
Read moreThe food was ready about 2 minutes after I ordered it, though I was the only person in there at the time. The chocolate chip cookie and the sugar cookie were enjoyable but not outstanding. The chlostess cupcake tasted just like what I remember a hostess cupcake tasting like, so it was good but not amazing to me. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and would go back.
Pros: Quick food , No fake-vegan, GMO Impossible burger

Excellent! - Edit
I like that the burgers are made with lentils and peas, rather than faux meat (which I do eat sometimes and have no issue with; I just prefer whole food ingredients). Super cool atmosphere and good service

Delicious vegan burger and fries - Edit
I thought the food was so delicious. I had been wanting to try this place for months. I got the BCB burger combo with half and half fries. The dipping sauces, especially the beet ketchup, were amazing. Next time I will try one of the baked goods! I really enjoyed that the food had a very classic burger and fries vibe with a cruelty-free spin. Everything tasted very fresh and very good. I was also impressed with how good the fries were. I didn't know what to expect from air frying.
Read moreI wish this location had more beverage options (milkshakes, fancy sodas.)
The vibe of the restaurant was kind of sad. It was sparse and dark inside with only one other party dining as the Saturday streets outside bustled with activity and crowds. Life Alive, a vegetarian (but with many vegan dishes) restaurant is on the same street and was bursting with people.
The entire time I was eating at by Chloe I kept sadly wondering if this location was next on the chopping block, as I know they have filed for bankruptcy and have had a lot of legal drama. The fridge also featured a decal on the side advertising vegan ice cream and craft beer that didn't exist.
Pros: Delicious classic burger and fries flavor., Patty didn't fall apart!, Friendly service
Cons: Very boring beverage options, Sparse and dark atmosphere, Ads in restaurant for non-existent items

Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it!!! - Edit
The food tastes great (even to my non-vegan family members) and the food is fast! The people who work there are super nice too! The food is healthy too so if you want to eat something healthy and absolutely delicious, come to By Chloe!!! Definitely 5 stars!! 🤩🤩🤩😍
Read moreNot sure what the picky little whining critics are upset about. You should be happy that companies like this are bringing healthful, environment-friendly convenient dining into the mainstream. Thanks to visionary entrepreneurs like this the tide will shift to healthier people and a healthier world.
Pros: Delicious and healthy! 👍 , Fast food that’s actually good for you!!! 😍, The workers are super nice!!! 😊
Cons: Not enough other food establishments like this, Nitpicking critics who are never happy eat here , And write negative reviews which r undeserved

Dessert good, mediocre food - Edit
Sugar cookie really good! but i got the buffalo chicken sandwich (i don’t remember the name of the exact sandwich but that’s what it was). The Slaw on the sandwich was good but the sandwich was average. My boyfriend who isn’t vegan(but enjoys vegan food) got the burger and was not impressed at all. Essentially it’s a overpriced veggie burger. We have been to the chloes in new york and we had a better experience there.

Oh My God - Edit
I have now ordered delivery from them twice and both times I have been far from disappointed. Everything is so flavorful and the packaging for delivery is eco-friendly. I love their baked good and their "chicken" sandwich! So delicious and I cannot wait till I am able to go back! So anxious to try everything on their menu. Unlike other vegan places, offers plenty of unhealthy food and something healthy like a variety of salads. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Read morePros: Good vibes, Good Bakery
