    I'm not a native east coaster but I have been out here a long time now, so when my wife suggested during my current vegetarian kick now to try Clover I was surprised I hadn't heard of them before. We stopped by yesterday for dinner and had some lovely "Nashville Hot" Mushroom sliders which did indeed were pretty hot. Really delicious food, some of the best pita bread I've had. I think Clover is the first place I've been where they are happy to 100% document their process for making their pita on the wall as well as documenting their story over the past 10+ years as well. The Burlington space itself is I guess kind of "understated" no thrills or fancy dining, but I appreciated that basically everything was compostable, and appreciated the staff being friendly and engaging with it being my first time there and trying to figure out what to get.

    Stone in the food

    Just ordered a Mediterranean bowl from Clover. It had a small stone in it. Fortunately did not eat it accidentally but never going to order from them

    Egg and eggplant platter

    Been to the Cambridge and Boston locations several times and am always amazed by the quality of food at Clover. Tried their blueberry muffin for the first time and they served it warm! It was delicious with a hint of ginger and I would love to get my hands on their recipe to recreate at home - it was that good! Ordered the egg and eggplant platter - one of my go to favorites. It is very filling and I had to save half for tomorrows lunch. Service at all locations is always quick and friendly. Orders need to be placed and paid for online, they are still following strict social distancing protocols (yay!).

    Came here for the first time for lunch on a weekend. Ordered their Japanese sweet potato sandwich and their falafel skewer side dish. Total came out to around $16 (without tip). What's Hot: - Menu variety. Vegan friendly, FTW! It appears that many menu items are staples, but there are seasonal items, too. They have Japanese sweet potato, which is not easy to find. Now is the brussel sprouts season, which is cool. - Eco friendly. From what I saw, everything is eco friendly. Their dishes that the food is served are paper products. Utensils looked like they are made of recycled plastic. Paper takeaway bags. They have water, at the front, so you can bring your own water bottles and refill them. And their staff encourage you to use it. Customer friendly, which is great. - Service. Friendly and helpful. I didn't order a drink. When they took my order and asked if I wanted a drink, I responded that I brought my own water. The staffer told me I could refill my bottle with their water whenever I needed to. Not a common response I've heard at other restaurants, which is awesome. It's self-serve and there's no table service, but whenever you need something or have questions, they help and are super nice, as well. Definitely a win. - Quality. Delish. The Japanese sweet potato was soft, mushy, and slightly sweet. It didn't taste overly seasonal or overly sweetened, which was great. Sweet potatoes are sweet enough and there shouldn't be a need to always add extra sugar and ruin the flavor. Their falafel skewers came with some slices of pickles, which weren't too sweet or sour, which I liked. Their veggies are pickled, but not briney. They have an open kitchen, so you can see the staff preparing the food, which is reassuring, as well. - Health and safety. During this time of the pandemic, all their staff were wearing masks. I appreciate this act of reassurance, especially because I've been to some restaurants where staff don't wear masks and it's uncertain what, if any measures, they are taking. I also saw a sign on their door asking customers to wear masks. - Portions. Not bad. A decent size, but be prepared that it's not going to be enough to get you full if you're hungry. What's Not: - Menu variety. Although I like their menu, it's disappointing when some items aren't available, because it's seasonal. For example, I saw oyster mushrooms in the Yelp pictures, but not on their menu. Bummer, because I like oyster mushrooms. My friend said they have a delish peach soda, which they don't always have. Again, the uncertainty of some menu items kinda sucks. First-world problems, right? - Price. Can be kind of pricey, especially if you order more than one dish, which you will if you're hungry. I only ordered 2 dishes and the total came out to $16, which didn't get me full. On the one hand, I was able to get a meal for under $20. On the other hand, be prepared that your tab can add up quickly when you order more than 1 dish. - Layout. I don't like their stools. Anytime you remotely move their stools, it always makes a loud scraping sound on the floor. It's so loud that it almost hurt my ears. Always interrupts conversations and that it happens on a regular basis because people naturally and predictably move their chairs, is super annoying. Final Answer Would definitely like to come back.

    Hummus
    Sean J.

    Perfect spot for lunch. Plates aren't too heavy, the service is efficient and quick, and the prices won't break the bank. I think it rotates items on the menu, but the staff will quite literally pull up an item on the big screen that you're interested in to see more about it. First time I've ever experienced that. I had the chickpea fritter sandwich and the hummus. Both were excellent. The sandwich had a memorable savory flavor and zesty sauces and toppings were great to go along with the fritters. The hummus was perfect for dipping on the side. The zaatar on top was the icing on the cake. Go check it out!

    Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter
    Alyssa T.

    Been obsessed with this franchise ever since I started coming here on my lunch break at the Kendall Square location. Their model is on point -- friendliness, personal touches, and quality food. Whenever I eat here I feel nourished in the best way. Even the French fries feel light and healthy and not loaded with oil. Today I got the Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter. Seriously soooo yummy! 10/10 would come back again!

    Barely a bowl of soup - more like a few drops.

    Clover used to be epic. Now it's a bit sad. The store is grim, staff looked dirty and food was mediocre.

    Do I have to order the pita separately if I order a sandwich?

    Any sandwich comes on pita no need for a separate order unless you want extra. Platters do not come with pita.

    Great coffee. Lots of people on the weekends. Excellent sandwiches…read more Enjoyed the oat latte.

    Pressed Cafe is a Boston staple that has built its following on a menu wide enough to accommodate…read morealmost any preference while maintaining enough quality across the board to justify repeat visits. We walked into a comfortable space with a relaxed vibe that never feels generic, the kind of spot where you can settle in for a meal or grab something quickly without the atmosphere working against you. The Vietnamese bowl is the order that brings everything together well. We tried it and the flavors were bright and balanced, leaning into the fresh herb and citrus notes that make Vietnamese inspired food work when the kitchen takes it seriously. The bowl format here gives you enough going on across the components that each bite shifts slightly, which kept the meal interesting from start to finish in a way that a simpler dish would not. The broader menu is worth exploring beyond a single visit. The shakshuka and acai bowl are both good, the smash burger salad is a surprisingly strong order for anyone who wants something more indulgent, and the vegan options are extensive and genuinely well executed rather than feeling like an afterthought. The smoothies are popular for good reason and the coffee holds up as well. Pricing runs on the higher side and the menu does not always list prices upfront on site, which is worth being aware of before you commit to a larger order. Service is generally attentive and fast, though it can vary by location and shift.
