Clover Food Lab - Newton

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

I have had good experience at Clover for so long until this morning i ordered a latte with whole milk and vanilla bean syrup. I drank without opening the cap until i tasted some gooey textured stuff. So i opened the cap, found countless bug eggs and a dead bug in it. Initially i thought the small black dots are vanilla, but obviously i was wrong for that to appear in such a mass in a $5 coffee. GROSS

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.

Food and coffee are great here. Ordering system could be improved if you could place orders ahead of time- like order lunch in the morning to be picked up later. And while I appreciate that they try to support local farmers, the Forest Farmers CSA they offered in particular was disappointing. Just a few bottles of different maple syrup and a small jar of dried ramps. The description listed more items that we found out after the fact, would not arrive.

I'm a big fan of Clover all around. No exception with the food at this location. But: the one thing that did gross me out? The bathrooms. Both were gross and one had no tp.
