Chick pea fritters, verde bowl, and egg on eggplant

Overall, everything was very good. The hummus was excellent thick and creamy. I would give a five star review, I especially like the extra crispy chickpea fritters which I would generally call falafel but that’s what they call them here, but my mother-in-law got the egg on a plant sandwich, lacked a bit of flavor. The Verde bowl is packed with flavor and has some really good tostones on it.

Pros: Chickpeas fritters, Hummus , Verde bowl

Cons: Eggplant lacked flavor

Very Tasty Plant based

Went for lunch. Everything is vegetarian but not everything is vegan. They will tell you you which is vegan but it’s not posted on the menu. We had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (it’s a mushroom), was very tasty and juicy. We got the Nashville fries too, they were good but needed some salt. My wife got the farro salad because it’s vegan and enjoyed it, I tried it and was very tasty. I appreciated that they had water bottle filling station.

Pros: Tasty, Staff was friendly

Cons: Vegetarian with only some vegan option

Clover's great

Clover's fabulous. I work out of the one in Burlington, MA. Excellent coffee program and food. Maybe a little expensive. Went there on the first day it was open when it was a food truck at MIT!!

Pros: Excellent Coffee, Rosemary Fries when Fresh, Anything they make with mushrooms

Cons: New menu items very hit or miss, Can be a bit disorganized

Marketing better than food

Was ok. Fries were quite nice.
Washroom was dirty.

Vegan options

Passed by this after attempting to go to Chipotle a few doors down but it was way too crowded. This was a great find! Loved the multiple vegan options, and my husband (meat eater) even found something that he liked. Would definitely go back.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly and helpful staff, Quick

Cons: Limited menu

Not worth the hype

The food here is fine. However I was confused as to what was vegan vs vegetarian. When asked if we have any diet restrictions I said I’m vegan and don’t eat eggs or dairy. The employee responded “we don’t serve any meat here.” Not answering my question lol. We had the “chickpea fritter” (you mean falafel??) sandwich which I hope was vegan. Tried their coffee at another location and again was not bad but not good either. The business in general seems to try very hard to be cool and organic and “sustainable“ but I’ve had better…

Pros: Lots of locations

Cons: Vegan options not clearly marked

Great lunch option

Sandwiches and falafel were all good and they have some great vegan healthy options.
The bbq sandwich was really tasty and ten sauce top notch. The BLT used tempeh and was light but filling.
A little bit chaotic inside with very loud music.

Pros: Plenty options, Location

Great roasted veggies

Seasonal menu, their roasted veggies are actually amazing and seasoned incredibly well. Falafel is great as well and they give good portions. Docked a couple stars just due to lack of vegan entrees and price but overall a solid choice

Cons: Only a few vegan entrees

Cool Vibes, Better Food

Everything we had was super delicious. There was a ton of variety and possibly too many options to pick from!

Not a sure thing for vegans

I really like Clover. They were one of my favorites when I was vegetarian. BUT it's not always super easy to make things vegan here. The BBQ sandwich is delicious vegan, but if you're excited about the impossible meatballs....well, think again. They have cheese mixed right into the meatballs. That was pretty disappointing😒It seems like there are a lot of missed vegan opportunities here. That being said, what they do offer is pretty good.

This past fall (2019) they had a sweet potato sandwich that would have been vegan if they just hadn't included honey. So close...and yet so far. It makes me feel that they're just genuinely not thinking about vegans when they're developing their recipes.

Lindo descubrimiento

El personal es extremadamente amable. El Chickpea Fritter Sandwich estaba rico, y la Peach Soda es deliciosa. Sin embargo, no hay muchas opciones. El sitio es acogedor.

Lunch Downtown Boston

Had the chickpea fritter sandwich and rosemary fries. The food was delicious as usual. Clover is always consistent and the veggies are fresh.

Cold food. Bad taste.

The food was cold. As in barely heated at all. The impossible meatball platter (fake meat) had a very off falvor. not worth the trip or the money. Service was ok.

Cons: Stone cold food

Good impossible breakfast sandwich

Food is delicious they have a no substitution policy but also say they can make things vegan. So a bit confusing. But the impossible breakfast sandwich vegan they made for me was fantastic.

Pros: Delicious food. Some vegan options

Cons: Confusing which items can be make vegan.

Great food

Wandering the freedom trail and found Clover. Lots of fun choices. Enjoyed having platters which reduced calories by leaving off bread. Food was well prepared and staff was helpful as we made our choices.

Pros: Lots of choices , Convenient locations, Really good

Really great food!

Love the vegan options here and my Omni husband absolutely loves their (vegetarian) ‘meatball’ sub! It’s definitely an excellent place to show non vegans/ veggies what plant-based food can be!
