The Details on Clover Food Lab
Save Time:
The truck has a serious cult following, so don't be deterred by crowds making the queues at noon. Avoid rush hours if you're truly in a rush; otherwise, just put in your order and wait a couple minutes until your name is called (make a friend in the meantime)--the workflow is surprisingly efficient.
Where to Sit:
Plunk down on any nearby grass for an impromptu picnic, or take your food across the street to the plaza on Kendall Square outside of the Marriott Hotel with its plentiful outdoor seating and tables.
Know Before You Go:
For select events, Clover does catering services. Make a special request for scheduling and availability.
The Extras:
Clover Food Lab is currently scouting for a brick-and-mortar restaurant location. Stay tuned!
