I have had food at Clover a couple times now. It is a great place to eat! The food is very natural and everything is compostable. 1. The Chickpea Fritter sandwich is very tasty and a good price. It has very tasty pickled red cabbage in it that makes it very delicious, and the sandwich is filling and satisfying. 2. The Minty lemonade is light and refreshing! I got it because I was thristy and craving something a little sweet. It hit the spot without making me feel I was indulging into true sweet treat realm. 3. The Popover is a great treat! The carrot marmalade made it indulgent, but the popover itself was very light and tasty. I made the mistake of saving mine for later and it got hard, but then I heated it in the toaster and it was still good. I'm coming back for another one. 4. The Tostones are very tasty, soft, and chewy. I love plantains so I enjoyed these greatly. I think they are tasty without the chipotle aoli, which is a tad salty, but the chipotle gives it another element too, and I got it on the side. 5. THe double chocolate cookie is very good. I think it was better than some fancy bakery cookies. It was chewy and thick and chocolately without being too sweet. It had good flavor! It had some sprinkles, which I are usually something I dislike, but the rest of the cookie was so good it didn't matter. YUM!

Their Chickpea Fritter is SO good. They don't skimp on the add ins (as seen in the pics) and they encase so much flavor in their falafel, pickled veggies and sauces. Falafel is especially crispy but can get a bit gritty at times. Had some great service! Everything came out in a timely manner and the counterperson was helpful & friendly. The only thing I regret getting is the lavender lemonade. You're basically drinking some lightly seasoned lavender water. Hardly any lemon flavor.

I love the history of this Clover location and I always get my food very quickly. There's interesting tile work - it was apparently a lunch counter 100 years ago. I'm digging the new bowls menu - this rice and bean bowl has exactly what I want and is the perfect size (very filling!) Healthy and delicious!

I'll admit I am always a bit pessimistic about places like this and I have had a few underwhelming experiences. Clover food lab however blew my mind completely. Right from the concept, it's story and the way they source their food seasonally and change up their menu blew me completely. I had the fried mushroom Nashville sandwich and it was so good. My wife got the chickpea plate and that was also really good. The food tastes super fresh and you really don't feel like you're at a place that has no meat options. The staff were really friendly and there was plenty of seating inside as well.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this place, but I really liked it! Sandwiches and fries are good, and my gf tried the coffee and really liked it! I didn't love the seating arrangement (communal seating is always a challenge) and it's on the pricier side for what you get, but it's a prime location so I can't complain too much! Stay Cheerful

Love this Clover food lab on Mass Ave and also love the Science Center location. Some of my favorite breakfast items are Tunisian breakfast bowl ($8.35) and fresh orange juice ($9.89). I would absolutely love to bump it to 5 stars if the price could be more affordable. But the food is SO good!! I love the breakfast items are made to order. Service is always friendly. Ambiance is nice, a mix of group tables or individual stations. Indoor air ventilation always great in the morning hours (haven't been here in the afternoon to test it). Highly recommend it if you want a hearty breakfast!

Yum! I stopped in while walking back to my hotel and wish I would have found this place sooner. The chickpea sandwich was so good: flavorful, filling, and perfectly prepared (crispy exterior instead of mushy). The combination of toasted pita, crispy chickpea patty, and julienned veggies was wonderful. Highly recommend!
