Clover Newton will open on July 9!

Update: due to Tropical Storm Elsa, our Grand Opening has been rescheduled to Friday July 16 and Saturday July 17! All other details remain the same.

What does a chickpea fritter taste like in Newtonville? Be the first to find out on July 9 and 10!

Originally we’d been hoping to do a soft open tomorrow (July 1) but we had some unexpected permitting delays (our own fault, the Town of Newton has been amazing). If you poke your head in, we’re happy to give you a tour (or check out this video tour Ayr made last week), just no food quite yet.

However, we’d love to invite you and all your friends to join us for our grand opening in Newton!

Pay What You Want Weekend
& Ribbon Cutting with Mayor Fuller

July 9 and 10 at CloverNTV
845 Washington St, Newtonville

~all proceeds benefiting the Newton Schools Foundation~

From 11am-2pm each day, come to CloverNTV and pay anything you want for lunch ($1, $100, $1000: really, whatever you want!). And if the thought of a 80 cent (or $80) chickpea fritter doesn’t excite you, we’ll also have prizes for the first 20 people in line each day 😲

Here’s the best part. We are going to donate ALL PROCEEDS (not just profits) from Pay What You Want Day to the Newton Schools Foundation, a nonprofit that gives grants to Newton public school teachers that they can use for their classrooms.

After the hard year that our teachers have had, we wanted to give back to them in a big way, so we reached out to Diane and her team at NSF and partnered with them for our grand opening. Kev and Jasper are ready to make a lot of sandwiches, but we’re going to need your help to buy them! 

We’re trying to raise 5k on July 9 and 10.

So if you’re a student, parent, former student, or teacher enjoying a much-needed summer vacation, or you just love good food, spread the word!

We’re honored to be kicking things off on Friday at 10:30am with a ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Fuller. I heard George Howell will be making an appearance to christen his new espresso bar inside of CloverNTV (and to check out the beautiful plants growing on premises). We’ll have panelle sandwiches, rhubarb agua fresca, some new desserts and the full Clover menu on deck.

So tell everyone you know, come help us get used to our new digs, meet Kev and his team, taste food that’s good for you and good for the planet, maybe win some prizes, and let’s raise some cash for our hardworking public school teachers!!! 

RSVP not required, but feel free to join the Facebook event to get it on your calendar:

Schedule of events:

  • Fri 7/9, 10:30am: Ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Fuller
  • Grand opening at 11am!
  • Pay What You Want 11am-2pm both Friday and Saturday
    • Limit 1 main dish + side + drink per person per day, while supplies last
  • Regular business hours (7am-8pm daily) after that!

This week has been a flurry of preparations as we kick off the 2024 food truck season. We did an event at Tufts over the weekend, in a few days we’ll be selling breakfast and lunch at a conference at the Media Lab at MIT, and this weekend we’ll be pulling up to a private party with sandwiches and appetizers.

Every year, just after Valentine’s Day, we start getting the same question in from customers: Will there be a Passover Box this year? Sometimes the pleas are more direct, sometimes more colorful. The glories of the vegetarian Chopped Liver are a common theme. This year, Sarah, an NYC-based friend of mine said she’s spent so much time thinking about the emails describing last year’s box that she’s DRIVING UP TO BOSTON to claim one!

We have a new sandwich out everywhere today. It’s a take on a Buffalo Chicken sandwich. We use celery root, aka celeriac, this nobbly, gnarled joy of a winter vegetable. We cut it into planks, batter it with panko, and fry it. We’re getting ours from Norwich Meadows Farm, a farm in NY state that’s known for creating really flavorful organic veggies using a cool irrigation system.

For the week of Valentine’s Day, we’ll be delivering these Making Whoopie (Pie) Kits 😉. They have everything you need to make whoopie pies — more specifically, Chris’ favorite oatmeal cakes with beet buttercream frosting. You’ll also get a scoop for making the perfect size pie, and a roll of sugar cookie dough for more sweet fun.

Pull out your plaid and cue up the bagpipes because it’s Clover’s third-ever celebration of Burns Night, an introduction to Scottish food/drink/music/poetry and a reason to raise a glass during this dark and cold month! You may be asking yourself, what is Burns Night?

Chances are you’ve tried the new Clover Bowls. We’ve been running them since the Spring. After a few tweaks, we landed on a roster we love: the Mediterranean Bowl, the Verde Rice and Bean Bowl, and a Rotating Seasonal Bowl. The bowls have transformed our menu – Josh, a Kendall customer, recently wrote to us, “The beet poke bowl is the best new item I’ve tried at Clover in years. I love the freshness and bite of the mix of flavors.” We’ve also heard some very good suggestions about how to make them even better…

New Year’s Eve is no time to be buried in the kitchen, so we pack our NYE Box with Clover fan favorites that come together fast and encourage a night of Finger-Food Feasting. Can you think of anything better than digging into bubbling hot Brussels Sprout Cheese dip on a freezing cold Boston night? Or scooping up our bright nutty Romesco sauce as the clock ticks to midnight?  And our breakthrough Carrot Lox (probably the best thing to come out of our food dev in 2023) will have you resolving to spare more salmon in the year ahead.

What would we serve if we had all of you over for Christmas dinner? This (epic) box, available only for Christmas, is an homage to the holiday traditions of our Clover staff. And like all Clover boxes, it supports our hardworking Massachusetts farmers, millers, bakers, and cheesemakers. This box is designed to feed you and keep you properly festive throughout a week with different meals/snacks, and can also be laid out all together on a holiday table as one big feast.

These sweet potato latkes date back to early days on the Clover food truck. They’re so yummy and the sweet potatoes lend them such a fun golden color. They’re probably the most popular item in our Hanukkah Meal Box, which you can get delivered on December 7th. Inside the box you’ll find:
