Clover Food Lab

I had an amazing experience at Clover! The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making my food and ensuring a pleasant experience. Shout out to Adam and Sarah who helped me today. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The food was absolutely fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and creatively prepared. I’m trying to reduce my meat consumption and this is one of the only places that is meatless and delicious. My meal was a delightful combination of healthy ingredients and bold taste. It’s clear that Clover puts a lot of care into both quality and presentation. Overall, a wonderful spot for a satisfying, wholesome meal with top-notch service. I can’t wait to come back!

Really excellent tea! I got the enchanted green tea. They don’t leave the tea bag to languish in your cup, but steep it for you, and then give you your tea! The cookies were great texture-wise, and had lots of chocolate chips. I couldn’t tell if there was more brown sugar than I’m used to, or if they don’t use butter, or what it was, but there was something in the taste that wasn’t my fav. The texture was perfect though! They have a great selection of spindrifts and Natalie’s juice and nuts and grain bowls and such. Easily accessible. Lots of seating. I appreciated the board games too :-). They use George Howell coffee (that’s what I used in my cafe back when I had my own). The tea I got looked like it said “Athens” was the brand, but I can’t find that brand online. It was a really unique, almost Smokey, but just grounded enough to be delicous green tea. I enjoyed it!

Long-time fans of the Clover format and focus on clean, local, veggie food. The Newtonville branch expands this with desserts and takeaway food, along with an espresso bar. Fairly crowded at lunch. Good natural light, open kitchen, use of the projector to show new drinks and specials. Try the impossible meatball!

There's not a lot of sustainable food options, I get what they're doing and commend them. It's a little more than I'd like to spend for it unfortunately. I'm aware sustainable environmentally conscious options are going to cost more regardless, I'm just not as in love with the food as I feel I should be for the price, like even simple fries are a bit much and they're nothing wow. It's not bad, it's just nothing special enough to eat at unless you are specifically looking for sustainable food options to feel less guilty eating, in which case, you'll probably eat here often.

I love this place. Very convenient location. It is clean and has a modern and inviting design. The service is amazing. The food is delicious. We usually take out for lunch the Chickpea Fritter either as a platter (which comes with a nice and tasty variety of salads) or as a pita sandwich. We also tried and liked the falafel skewers with humus and the French fries with rosemary.
