Clover

At Clover, servers intercept rather than greet you, taking orders on iPods and reporting prep times to the tenth of a minute. And there’s plenty of green attitude: no trash cans (“everything we use is compostable”), no Splenda (“it’s artificial”), and no meat. But it’s worth it. Clover’s egg sandwich is a perfectly soft-boiled egg served in a whole wheat pita with Vermont cheddar cheese and tomato. The marvelous $2 coffees feature a cast of local indie roasters. And yes, the same sandwich is sold at Clover’s Inman and mobile locations, too.
