Healthy, tasty, inventive vegetarian food at a fast food place! Seriously super good! This location is in a strip mall with easy parking in Burlington close to the mall. I like the open kitchen concept where you can see the all the fresh ingredients being used. We tried a few things on the menu, The Buffalo (sandwich), The Bridgewater (sandwich) and rosemary fries. All came out fresh and hot. All were delicious but my favorite was The Bridgewater. The creamy sauce with the lightly fried crimini mushrooms and fresh Kale.. so yum!! I've never had a combination like this and it was absolutely divine. I also liked the fries, they were lightly fried and didn't feel very oily. They reminded me of In N Out fries which I love. Will definitely be frequenting here more!

I had the popover breakfast sandwich for the first time and it was pretty good. The Montecarlos El Salvador drip coffee was delicious. Clover has never disappointed thus far.

Can't say enough good things about Clover. So delicious; always so fresh-- love their approach. Boxes are great, too.

For all vegetarian food, this is an excellent place. Snacks, meals, and drinks can all be obtained from here. Downside of the location is high demand, leading to limited menu as things get sold out. Come early, and in the mood for surprisingly tasty vegetarian food.

The Mediterranean bowl was so good for the price. I really loved that all the ingredients tasted fresh. Staff are courteous and food was handed to us quickly. Only thing is that the place could have been cleaner. Our table was dirty.

I ordered my food to the wrong location and they were so sweet about it and just made my order here for me without any issues and were very caring. Love the food too.
They make healthy, incredible, and delicious food here. I tryed everything so far. Noone makes a vegetable bowl like Clover Food Lab does. The Beet bowl with tofu is amazing and my favorite. I just ate the impossible meatball parm sandwich with their fresh bread. I thought I was eating meat. I am very happy this place is here. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Clover Food Lab.

Good vegetarian food that gives a flavorful and fulfilling meal. Egg and eggplant mayo sandwich is good, better than chickpea fritter sandwich. Corn chowder and Roman tomato soup is decent- the $8.50 bowl is larger than the $4 add-on cup. French fries are good when freshly made hot. Falafel skewers is nicely crispy (some a little over burnt) and good with hummus and hot sauce, balanced with saukrat to refresh the palate.

Pleasantly surprised. Ambiance was a little weird. But food was good. For a chain, it was pretty tasty. Flavors were good. Hummus was pretty awesome. Fries needed salt but tasty. Falafel needed to be a big bigger, but good crunch. Good flavor. Not bad dude, not bad.
My whole family loves Clover! We get takeout from here a couple times a month at least, and have for years. I love the rotating, seasonal menu even though it's sometimes hard to see the limited-time sandwiches go. I guess I just have to savor the panelle or the Enzo all the more for their transience :) Don't forget to try out the breakfast options, too - the pesto bowl and popover are my favorites. And they even have simpler sandwich options that appeal to my kiddo. The app ordering is simple and the customer service is always great, even if it can get a bit slow when they're slammed. If there's ever an issue with our order, they're always super quick to comp an item. To top it all off, the climate-friendly approach they take is wholistic with not only an all-vegetarian menu, but also all (commercially) compostable packaging. The whole operation is very thoughtful and intentional. My only complaint is that they've generally stopped offering desserts, and I especially miss the olive oil cake and the whoopie pies. If you see them available, just get one!

We visited Clover food lab on the second day of our trip. I'm not a vegetarian but I have to say that I love what I ordered here. Pita bread, hummus, falafel, and fries with Rosemary are my favourites. I'd love to visit "Clover food lab" again on my next trip to Boston. Healthy diet is one of my gazillion goals ?

We have been to the Burlington and Somerville locations three times now. Staffers have greeted us quickly, been friendly and attentive and responsive to questions and requests, and served our food hot and quickly. The food has been tasty and served carefully. We like the three water taps (including seltzer) at the Burlington location; unfortunately Somerville lacks them. Two, maybe three issues, however. 1. Limp, oily fries. Each time the french fries have been limp and seemed oily. Twice we brought them home and put them in the air fryer for several minutes to crisp them a little and make them more palatable. Tip to management: check out Rami's, in Brookline; it's kosher, serves delicious falafel and other things, and their fries are crispy and not limp or oily. 2. Guilt tipping. We're "fed up" with the Square(?) credit card pads and terminals that try to guilt us into tipping when we're not in a sit-down restaurant with servers. When sandwiches cost $11-$15, and limp, oily fries cost over $6, and we're either carrying out or sitting at a table without someone serving us, asking if we want drink refills, dessert, etc., stop asking us to tip. 3. Mushy, squishy seitan? I tasted a sample of the seitan once; its BBQ sauce seemed OK, but the seitan was mushy and squishy -- a poor "mouth feel". Perhaps that was just the sample? UPDATE, 7/10/23: We had dinner at the Burlington location. Nick was there today, as well as another man; both were cordial, friendly, professional. I explained to Nick about the fries and seitan, as I mentioned in my first post. He made fries for us, and made sure that they were well drained after coming out of the fryer. That made a big difference; they were very good this time. He also made me a seitan sandwich, which was also very good, so it seems my previous sample of the seitan was the exception. We enjoy your food, and Nick is a great asset to your company.

Love the food here usually, I get the BLT. I tried branching out and got the rosemary fries and I wouldn't recommend them. They were soggy, half burnt, VERY greasy, and just have huge amounts of whole rosemary springs all over them. They kind of reminded me of five guys fries, but thinner.
