Clover

Went for breakfast Saturday morning. Service was good; not that many choices; foods tasted not bad. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and a sunrise muffin.

Clover is delicious, don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s gotten a bit too big for their britches.
Was there recently and the staff was less than what I have come to expect from Clover.
As for Clover in general, I am tired of having a favorite sandwich only be around for a short time.
Ayr needs to go to the UK, pay a visit to a LEON shop and learn that you can have a fixed menu and do well.

I Had chickpea sandwich which Tastes very good and it’s a huge portion ! Will definitely visit here next time

Weird and strange is how I’d describe my sandwich here at Clover. It was the fried plantain with black bean spread and a cabbage and carrot slaw. So first off, it just didn’t have quite enough flavor. The plantains were kind of starchy and tasteless, as plantains are wont to be, but I thought they’d be enlivened by the black bean spread, described as having cilantro and lime juice. Well, a healthy dose of salt would have helped tremendously. I did like the slaw, and the crunchy texture offset the squishy beans and plantain. The pop rock-​like bits of fried rice were just odd. Altogether, it was a bit of a mess.
I’m glad I tried it, though. Who doesn’t like to experience new things?

Clover café a hip fast food spot in Cambridge Harvard square. Reminds me of an ikea cafeteria for some reason. Its a mix between a shake shack and Starbucks without the grease and the green mermaid. They have a waiting list board so you know how long whatever you order will take. They serve pour-​over coffee that takes about 4 min because it is fresh. The coffee was definitely a statement, rich and strong.

One of my favorite places for lunch! The staff is always friendly and enthusiastic about the food. Quality ingredients, interesting flavor combinations, delightfully prepared. It’s even a great place to stop in for a cup of coffee or a beer.

Solid lunch (or casual dinner) spot with ample amounts of seating and good vibes. I like the BBQ Seitan Sandwich (but I also just love Seitan in general). The Chickpea Fritter Sandwich is alright, but I’d say go more inventive. The staff is wonderful and for those of you who spend a lot of time in NY, Clover reminds me of Blossom du Jour, but bigger, less crowded, and more Brooklyn. And everything is compostable, including the cups that seem like they wouldn’t be but they are! So exciting! Love the creativity, minimalism, and just feel good ambience. Serious happy vibes.
Also, people keep raving about the Brussels Sprouts Sandwich… I haven’t seen it but can’t wait for it to make an appearance!

Not a vegetarian but a fan of Clover! It’s next to the gym and I always grab a sandwich after workouts. I love the breakfast sandwich and the egg & eggplant sandwich. Simple ingredients but super delicious!

Great for a casual lunch, heard that breakfast is really good, too. Ambience is cool, clean, minimalist, and hipster — just being inside makes you feel like going all organic.
Sandwiches: I’ve gotten the Chickpea fritter and Egg & eggplant before — both are good /​HUGE. Although neither blew me away, I prefer the latter slightly more — love grilled eggplant.
Rosemary Fries: Very fragrant and good texture, would definitely try them once.
Egg & Eggplant Platter: In hindsight not as worth it as the sandwich — seems a lot smaller, and its $ 10 as opposed to $ 7…Will stick to sandwiches from now on.

Fresh, delicious, healthy, and considerate workers :) I’ve been meaning to come here for a while, and the workers said that they are going to open five more of these next year! The menu changes all of the time too, so I definitely want to try the other side dishes! I LOVED the warm and perfectly cooked pita bread. We shared the mezze and chickpea platter and they generously gave us the whoopie pies for free!!!

WARNING there is no meat in anything, this is a Strictly veg only place. And the worst part is they almost trick you. Once you realize while waiting for your food there is no cooker cooking food. Yeah… It’s edible but not my cup of tea.
O yeah the Tea is good though

Rosemary fries are awesome. The Brussels sprouts sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I wish I lived closer to a clover because I don’t even know HOW to recreate that. The kale salad was $ 3 for this tiny tiny thing. Not even sure it was one whole kale lead in the container. I’d skip that next time.

Came here on a date one weekend. The guy taking our order was awesome– full of energy and excitement!
We ordered the cauliflower wrap, chick pea fritter platter, and rosemary fries
All of the flavors are excellent.
Cauliflower pocked– The cauliflower was fried, spicy and sweet. I really enjoyed the flavor bomb in this pita pocket. I expected more cauliflower in the order though– definitely a low filling to pita ratio.
Chickpea fritter platter– Also great flavor. little falafel like balls served with a bunch of different salad and pickled vegetables.
Fries: I’ve had better– Limp and sort of soggy. I really expected better from this place when i ordered the fries. I might come back and give you guys another chance on this one!
Overall– great flavors with portions could have been larger for the price I’ll be back to try other things!

Clover makes the NorCal-​er in me rejoice. The place is an experimental, minimalistic, and modern fast casual restaurant with plenty of seating (both downstairs and upstairs) and plenty of windows to let in natural light. You get rung up at the counter on mobile devices/​iPads, so don’t be alarmed that you don’t see any registers! The menu changes frequently but always features some great flavor combinations. The food is fresh, never frozen, and oftentimes organic. This is a place I can trust to get high-​quality food for a great price point.
There are some staples on the menu — people rave about the rosemary fries and the whoopie pies. I thought the chickpea fritter sandwich was pretty good, but not spectacular — there is a nice tang from the red cabbage. The breakfast parfait with fruit compote is delicious! The yogurt is fresh and a little runny which made me skeptical at first, but the overall mix of the yogurt and generous helping of granola and sliced peaches made for a satisfying and not-​too-​sweet parfait. I’m not always a fan of vegetarian restaurants, but this is one of my go-​to places in Harvard Square for a quick bite.
Why not 5 stars then? Well, as much as I love freshly made on-​the-​spot, that means the wait times can get quite long for a sandwich (but life is full of trade-​offs, right?)

I’ve only been to the Clover Food Trucks, and to be honest, I was quite impressed with the overall vibe and quality of food served at Harvard Square. This busy establishment is two stories, with outdoor seating, very high ceilings and white wall paper interiors, giving this place a much brighter and roomier vibe. The actual way to order food is unique in that you are greeted by servers when you walk in with ipads and they will submit your orders directly to the kitchen staff without forcing people to form a line.
As for the food, I tried the zucchini tofu sandwich, the chick pea platter, fresh hot coffee and Allagash white. I thought the zucchini was well prepared, the tofu firm, not overly fried, and I really like the bread, which was like an risen pita bread. The chick pea platter was a little bit on the smaller side, but for $ 7, and trying out the chick peas, the grilled eggplant, hummus and falafel. The coffee was great and the Allagash was amazing as always.
While I may not be the biggest super vegetarian place, I think this is definitely one place I’d bring my friends to try out on a Harvard tour.
Food: 4 stars
Price: 3 – 4 stars
Ambiance: 3 – 4 stars (lotta chairs, but very uncomfortable)
Service: 3 – 4 stars, I like the individual waiters, but it confused the hell out of me initialy

This is definitely the crown jewel of the Clover empire. I noticed I’ve reviewed every Clover except for the Burlington location — so I will keep this short…
There is outdoor seating in the spring/​summer. Because the Republic of Cambridge is a cruel overlord, Clover hasn’t secured an outside liquor license. so NO beer for you on the patio. If you aren’t so devastated by lack of libations, outdoor seating is really nice. Clover is located on a quieter street in Harvard Square, tucked away from much of the commotion.
Ample seating indoors– upstairs and down. Downstairs is a bit too loud for me — with all the order shouting– but upstairs is a bit more tame.
Food times posted on the electronic board, and are generally followed. My delicious salty/​sweet Asian inspired Zucchini sandwich came out within the one minute promised.
Unlike some of the other Clovers where the rosemary fries suffer from some quality control, Clover Harvard always delivers a large portion of perfectly seasoned awesomeness.
Homemade sodas are tart and delicious and always taste as promised. My watermelon soda last night tasted like I stuck a straw into a carbonated watermelon.
All the sandwiches are very good. Try to break away from always ordering the Chickpea Fritter. The heirloom tomato, Brussels sprout, pimento cheese, and other special offerings can bring much mouth happiness.

Vegetarian establishment that prides itself on locally-​sourced food.
Let’s start with the «room for improvement» items so we can end on a positive. The portions here are pretty small for the price, and my friend and I didn’t find our selections very filling at all. Also, the options are pretty limited, since I believe they are seasonal. That being said, the food was very tasty. I had the chickpea fritter platter, which was basically tiny falafel with hummus, bean salad, pickled vegetables, and tahini sauce; my friend the eggplant and egg platter, which contained one hardboiled egg and several slices of lightly-​fried eggplant. The service was very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere quite pleasant — wide open, brightly-​lite spaces that didn’t get too loud even with a number of diners.
I admire them for sourcing their food locally and catering to vegetarians, and understand that the sourcing will affect the prices, but I probably won’t return unless I want a very light meal.

My boyfriend and I decided to visit Boston on a steamy, humid day and decided to try Clover based on its reviews. I honestly wasn’t too excited; I was a vegetarian for 20 years and have eaten lots of subpar meatless restaurant food. Luckily yesterday was an exception.
The menu features sandwiches, platters, seasonal sides, and a wide variety of interesting drink options. The ordering process was a bit strange; you have to find the worker with the apple device. Once you’ve ordered, they give you a time estimate. I loved the various water options; you can even get sparkly water for free.
The food came quickly and was delicious. We ordered the chickpea platter, chilled green pea soup, and carrot pistachio salad. The platter had 5 tiny falafel balls with hummus, wild rice pilaf, and some pickled veg. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. It was the perfect meal
for a hot day and I would definitely come back.

really yummy and healthy. the plates are fab, pitas too. I enjoyed everything on my platter. from hummus to falafel, to ferro salad to cabbage salad. may have been a little too much cabbage/​carrots tho. but i’d rather that than too much fat/​grease, right?! the lemonades and hibiscus ice teas were sooo yummy, not too sweet which is SO hard to find. perfect amount of sweetness in drinks and salt in food. I loved it. only thing is my friend’s rosemary fries weren’t hot. which was strange bc we waited 10 min for it. hmmmm. also when she asked for a box to put her leftovers in, they just gave her a sheet of paper to wrap it up???
otherwise a great spot.

Fun and unique place near Harvard University. We went here for breakfast after touring the campus earlier that morning. They have some interesting «fresh» twists on favorites, like the egg sandwich was served in a pita with tomato and all sounded farm fresh and interesting. But I was in the mood for oatmeal and with the pear topping, it was so tasty and filling and warming. The popover was quite good too. I really liked the free water choices (H2O, CO2+H20) and taps to fill yourself. They have freshly brewed/​ground coffee as well.
The staff here are very friendly and will help you figure out the menu and the specials. I like that they are creative and offer farm fresh items. And they are very earth friendly with recycling and local sourcing. I wish we had a Clover near where I live.
