Food was alright at best, but the service was wonderful. Not many options in the menu. Would not recommend for Celiacs since options are so severely limited.

Too expensive and the bread tastes like dust. I prefer Felipe's Mexican or the new Achilitos in Harvard Square or Life Alive in Central Square for taste and price. Not surprised that they're going out of business and filed for Ch 11.

Very creative restaurant in close Harvard yard. Friendly staff and great food. It is one of the must restaurants I will visit next
I like their food and I like that's vegetarian. I just don't like their prices are sky high. I remember when I used to sell their sandwiches for $5 when they first opened. I can see since time has passed that may be $8 would be a decent price, but not 12! Not paying that much for one of their sandwiches ever again. I know we're in an inflationary period, but that's ridiculous. Also, even though they took soy BLT off the menu for the longest time, you could buy it off menu. Now you have to wait till it comes in to season - why? I wish they just stuck with their sandwiches. I hate that they have to follow the trend of having "bowls" like everyone else. And I don't know why they have to have an impossible burger. I became a vegetarian to avoid anything meaty, because I can't stand it. Years ago on his blog, the owner said he wanted to avoid "fake meat." Why, isn't having a GMO product that looks like meat smells like meat and bleeds like meat the ultimate "fake meat"? Why can't they just go back to having their eggplant meatballs? I liked them in the beginning because they were different and I couldn't eat. Almost anything on their menu. Now, they're dumbing themselves down.

Fabulous falafel sandwich!

Very solid place! Great sandwiches, good friends. Love the eggplant and egg pita sandwich. They do the pourover method for coffee, which is fine, by the blend they had the day I went in really wasn't very good. Was supposed to be a more "citrusy" and acidic coffee, but it just didn't work well. One unknown: Says free wifi but no wifi network showed up as available, ended up using the Harvard guest wifi, which was slow but did work.

I had a Mediterranean bowl at lunch , It was so delicious with the crispy fresh vegetables, and tasty falafels. The place is quiet , the service is beyond reproach.

Terrible service, decent to delicious food. The service is so bad it is painful. The service ruins it for me.

First time visiting a Clover Food Lab, and the employees were very knowledgeable and friendly. Ended up getting the Japanese Breakfast Bowl, which was good! Wishing the quantity was a bit more but that's subjective. The employee was very helpful in regards to which kind of coffee that my sister was contemplating as well. We had a great experience and would come back again in the future.
Amazing restaurant! Very vegan friendly, great music taste, and great customer service.Vegetarian options: Many vegan options, every item is at least vegetarian.
There wasn’t a long wait. The staff were very friendly and helpful, almost too friendly for the northeast in my opinion. I found the portions to be very generous with a good mix of textures and colors. My beet poke bowl was good but I sort of expected rice instead of barley or farro. This restaurant is vegetarian or vegan. The menu doesn’t have that much variety but it’s worth putting in the SG, dig, and life alive rotation.

I love the history of this Clover location and I always get my food very quickly. There's interesting tile work - it was apparently a lunch counter 100 years ago. I'm digging the new bowls menu - this rice and bean bowl has exactly what I want and is the perfect size (very filling!) Healthy and delicious!
Standard Clover food. Tasty, getting a little bit expensive for the portion sizes... but everywhere is. Really enjoyed the history on the walls.
