Clover Downtown

Clover has come to Boston!  They've taken over the old Boloco location at 27 School Street and will be having their first full day of operations with a full menu tomorrow.

Me, I paid them a visit a day early on their Pay What You Want Day and enjoyed a nice hot lunch for a donation to The Food Project.

They make their own sodas here.  They let me sample both the Vanilla Soda and the Ginger Soda, and I was surprised to find the Ginger Soda the winner.  It tasted surprisingly just like fresh ginger!

The Blue Oyster Mushroom sandwich was so simple yet quite delicious!  Battered and fried mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, kale, and some kind of spread tucked into one of their round loaves.  And this from a non-fungus lover!

Rosemary Fries are Clover's signature side.  The flavor was good, but I prefer my fries with a surface crisp that these sadly lacked.

Service was cheerful.  Estimated times were listed right on the menu and updated as needed  But the music and ambient noise were a bit loud, so it was a little tough to listen for my name to be called as each item of my order was prepared.
