Reviews
We were looking for healthy options to eat and Clover came up in the list. We dined at the restaurant and it was almost empty on a Sunday afternoon. Each one of us ordered a dish including the chickpea fritter sandwich, mushroom parm platter, and the bridgewater platter. On the side, we had the rosemary fries and the rosemary lemonade. Overall, our experience was good. The food was tasty, portions weren't too large but were sufficient. The chickpeas fritter sandwich came loaded and was actually a little difficult to eat and had to be deconstructed! The reason for taking one star off was that the food arrived cold even though we dined in. The fries especially were just stone cold. It was ironic that we were sitting right next to the sign which said that the fries here are cut only 10 mins before you eat them. It certainly didn't feel like it. And while you can eat certain items cold, fries are not it.
So good I had to stop by two days in a row! Really excellent vegetarian/vegan shop that is very close to the hospitals. Super interesting sandwich's, bowls, and wraps. The Buffalo chicken sandwich base was celeriac? It was so cool! The soy bacon in the BLT was also excellent, lightly smoky and meaty. The inside is modern and clean. Service was very quick and they have multiple restrooms available. Overall, I wish I could have tried every single thing on this menu and will definitely be returning if I'm ever in the area again.
Great food if you're vegan or vegetarian!! My personal favorites are the verde bowl and coconut lentil soup. The staff is so nice, if you're confused which soup to go for, they can give you a sample of each. They also help with the type of salad bowl you should go for if you've never had it before. Their specialty coffees are the best!
The employees here are absolutely delightful--they greet everyone who walks in and explain the menu in a helpful way to newbies. They offer up staff favorites seamlessly and gave lots of great recommendations/explanations (which is probably why the wall menu didn't have item descriptions). Inside was quite spacious and not busy on a January Thursday for late lunch (1:15). I ended up grabbing the verde rice and bean bowl for $11.25 and it was tasty! There are fried plantains (the highlight for me!), pickled onions, shredded carrots, green onion, jalapeños which were perfect and added a kick, rice & beans (and probably a few others great ingredients haha). It was nice and warm for this cold day! It looked like most of their coffee was pour over style (which we love), and I overheard a recommendation for the George Howell roast so will be back to try this and their other house-made drinks!
Never disappoints. Always great food - from the bowls to the sandwiches to the fries. Great lemonade, too! Service is quick and employees are friendly. Restaurant is always clean and inviting.
