I was in Cambridge for five days and ate at Clover three or four times. It was fantastic to have a place like this just about mile's walk from where I was staying. The oatmeal with rhubarb compote that I had the one day I went for breakfast was the standout, but I liked everything else that I tried, too. Probably the least good (not bad) thing was the chickpea fritter sandwich. According to the menu, this is a perennial favorite, and there was nothing wrong with it. It's just that it was a falafel sandwich that wasn't really as good as those I'm used to getting at Middle Eastern restaurants in my Chicago neighborhood for a little less money. My only other quibble is that I thought the menu leaned too heavily on fried food, One fried option would be enough. However, on the whole, I would eat here regularly if I lived nearby! The flavors were interesting, and for the most part the vibe was definitely one of trying to make great vegetarian food instead of just trying to make acceptable clones of meat-based dishes.
