Kale & Clover

Loving the organic options, seared salmon (although I forgot to ask the source of the salmon and it isn’t promoted). Had a glass of Pinot Noir with lunch.
Fabulous and friendly service.

Refreshing and balanced meal. This restaurant is about eating well and caters well to vegan, gluten free and vegetarian — which are none of me but I appreciate the variety. Sister restaurant of sumo maya, local bistro and central bistro.
Nature colors of sand, green and white filled the ambience. Natural looking plates and bowls.
Jambalaya — brown rice, turkey sausage, black beans, bell peppers topped with scallions and piquante sauce. This was a pack of flavor and a pinch of spice for a filling dinner. $ 12
Karma juice is available in bottles to go. Smoothies are also available. I would come back to try their other plates and bowls and hand helds, along with the other items on their menu for breakfast!

The superfood salad with chicken is unreal! So yummy. Honestly, the chicken blew my mind! So happy we stopped by!

I love this place. I’ve had everything on the menu and can say it is all yummy and has that «homemade» quality to it. I usually have a distaste for salty food, but I love their «chicken & hummus,» the chicken is pretty salty, but the hummus and lentils are soooooo yummy. I also recommend going for breakfast and trying the sweet potato pancakes. The ambiance is a bit hipster/​cool and there is no waiter — you wait in line and order from a big menu on the wall and then sit at a table and wait for someone to bring it out to you. The staff are always sweethearts and the food prices are fair for what you are getting. Try out their awesome and ever-​changing assortment of ice tea flavors too.

Stopped in for lunch last week and was impressed. So many great options on the menu. I had the superfood salad with tofu and really enjoyed it. The tofu had great flavor and I loved the beets in the salad. Also enjoyed the kleanse juice which had a great kick to it!

Faux phở was good, but $ 14 expensive. I had dental work therefore needed soup and soft so it did the trick. Hubby had chicken humous w/​lentil and quinoa and that was priced well at $ 12 and very tasty. I liked my sons jabalaya (turkey sausage) with brown rice.

Good variety of vegetarian vegan and healthy items. Clean. Fast service. Had the K Cleanse, Avocado Summer Roll, Green Gazpacho & Super Food.

If you like fresh, healthy, and delicious food, then this is your place. The menu has many options that will satisfy the health conscious as well as simple foods for picky eaters. Everything my table ordered was tasty and filling. The service was great and the eating area was clean and spacious. We will be back!

This place reminded me a lot of the little eateries in Santa Barbara that I used to go to on the regular – all excellent, fresh and «feel-​good» food.
My friend and I just moved to the area and we were looking for a good place for lunch, specifically for a good salad since that’s what we were craving.
Kale and Clover has a modern twist on the café ambiance with great, fresh menu choices ranging from burgers, to pasta, to salads and cold pressed juices. I ordered the Thai salad with chicken ($ 5 extra) and my friend ordered the garden cut salad. Both were perfectly dressed and the buckwheat noodles on my salad were fantastic. Great selection of vegetables on my salad mixed in with fresh mint — mmm!
For both our salads and one drink we paid $ 30…not bad, though I wish they didn’t charge so much extra to add a protein.
Overall, great ambiance, great food and a place we’ll be visiting again for another lunch date.

Good stuff! I’ve only eaten here once but really enjoyed it. It’s following the recent trend of healthy lunch and dinner options popping up through out the valley. Definitely worth a stop when your planning on a light evening meal.

Arrived for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. This place is nested on the corner of a shopping center. It has a nice corner patio area that you can sit in while enjoying the Arizona sun. The menu has some delicious options both healthy and even vegan. I opted for the steak sandwich and it did not disappoint. All of the flavors came together fresh and tasty. Staff was friendly and accommodating as they should be. I’ll be back to try more of the menu.

Came here with my wife for dinner on a Tuesday night. Slow night. Mostly empty. The chef was a woman we had not seen before.
Disappointed to discover the portion size has been cut in half. We both had the Seoul food bowl. Tiny portion even with my double order of protein. The rice was hard and chewy. Way undercooked. The dish was very under flavored. We asked for more of the sauce and that helped. Also, two of the menu items we wanted to order were sold out/​unavailable.
Overall we were very disappointed and we won’t be back.

Oh
Now I won’t really know her
But I think I could try her
Kale and Clover
Ah
Well I’m mindful of walking over
Now I’ve been waiting to taste it
Kale and Clover
Over and over
Modern, green, fresh, and clean that’s what I feel when I walk into this place.
Modern since this place is like walking into a interior designers home. Green cause the place is organic and whole. Fresh and clean, cause I feel like I was just walking through a rain forest that just got rained on; hopefully the interior designer doesn’t have carpet haha!
I came here with my friend and we didn’t know where to start, but shot for the a spicy ginger cayenne juice. For our entrees we ordered the Kale & Clover Salad and the Seoul Food Bowl. The ginger juice was spicy indeed plus sweet. It was called the Cleanse and now I understand why; felt like I just went through a colon cleanse after drinking it! The Kale & Clover Salad came with kale, apples, almonds, raisins, and sprouts with a sherry vinaigrette. Overall, I liked the salad, but the kale was tough and bitter as it should be I guess. Think adding another element to smooth it out would be great (i.e. mix of romaine). The taste and crunch of the salad was perfect; apples and raisin helped with the sweetness. We added beef to our Seoul bowl for some protein. The bowl was filled with kimchee fried rice, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, bok choy, and an egg atop. Kimchee in general is a strong flavor already. Overall, the mushrooms gave it an extra flavor while the carrots, broccoli, and bok choy helped give this dish a crunch and welcoming subtle-​ness from the already powerful flavors. The egg for me was just an extra mellowness, but it works!
In the end, Kale & Clover deserves love and welcome from all that enjoys eating a clean and healthy meal. — Enjoy!

The valley needs more restaurants like Kale & Clover. A place that serves higher quality food in fair portions at a decent price (at least for the food). Kale & Clover has a pleasant café-​style setup. Order at the counter. Get a number. A runner brings your food. The dining room has a modern ambiance and there is also a nice patio.
My wife and I went splitzies on a Cheat Day Burger and a Turkey Panini. The burger is perfect. the quality of beef is incredible and it was cooked perfectly. The brioche bun adds a flavorful touch. The panini probably should have just been called a sandwich. The bread is toasted but not hot or pressed. Nitpick aside; it’s a delicious sandwich. Although, it felt like the chef got a little skimpy with the avocado. We both had side salads. Nothing special. A nice mix of greens and tomato with a great dressing.
The burger was $ 12. The panini was $ 10. A $ 20 for $ 10 Local Dines gift certificate (
) cut that down nicely. We’ll certainly be back sometime soon.

I feel it’s time to «man up» and post this not so positive take on «Kale & Clover»…
Must’ve been a financial-​existential crisis: «Are we really living in the world of the $ 10.00 smoothie?» And then I blacked out.
When I came to, there was an order of the quinoa and black bean tacos in front of me. (Or was it a half order? I’d call it «mini-​tacos.») Ehhhhh. Fell over.
When I came to, the food was gone and there was a nice aftertaste. Being familiar with this area, I expect robust prices, but I think «a little less price and a little more portion» would make me feel better about these $ 11 mini-​tacos that tasted OK but left me still hungry. (Add meat? Add $ 4.00) Oof. (And now that I see another’s review and a much larger portion, I’m wondering how I got these very small tacos. Mistake?)
Instead of chancing the flatline again, I glanced around and found myself admiring the fresh look and the nice patio. I noticed an empty dining area and people standing in line. Wait a minute — getting woozy — why this waiting in line? A wave of «juuust chilllll» washed over me as I recalled how much I prefer full table service when paying the «quality» price point.
Definitely a nice space with nice people and good food, but if I’m gonna be price-​point-​passing out, I insist on resort poolside with eye-​popping sunset views.
Footnote– in all fairness, they offer a $ 9.00 smoothie too. I’ve come to learn that these kinds of prices are becoming offered more and more commonly in Phoenix/​Scottsdale but I still have to stand by my «need more quinoa taco in my quinoa taco.» Deep breath with extra meat. Ahhh

Had dinner here the other night. I had the curry sub chicken. It was yummy! Very mild flavor. Could have used a little more kick but I didn’t mind. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Husband had the salmon salad which I tasted-​it was decent. Also very light and healthy tasting. He said the salmon had a touch of fishyness to it at the end. The food is healthy tasting but not to the point where it tastes like cardboard. We felt it was a little on the pricey side for a casual walk up and order type of place. I liked it because you don’t feel overfull or bad after you eat there.

I love this restaurant! I went today for lunch for my first time and had the Tofu Thai Curry. It was so delicious and a nice proportion, I even had left overs for dinner. I also had the Almond Date Milk and it was so delicious. The ambiance was great, very opened, lots of light, lots of green and very spacious. I can’t wait to go back for breakfast, super delish!

Kale and clover is truly a mindful kitchen. Today is my third time here. I wanted a few data points to review since the restaurant just opened.
First, let’s talk about their breakfast. I would have loved to post a photo of their amazing sweet potato pancakes but my daughter ate them so fast there was no time. They were fluffy and delicious with a lightly crisp outer edge. Real maple syrup. Soooo good. I had the acai bowl, which I’ve only had in Hawaii. It was good. Filed with granola, fresh fruit and shaved coconut. And then, my son ordered the turkey scramble. We had to take it to go so we could make it to our volleyball games but I was able to snap a photo in the car. I only wish I could have captured the incredible aroma. It was mouth watering. He snarfed it down but I was able to get a bite. It was heavenly! And to get him to eat vegetables was a bonus!
Such a great change from boring breakfasts in the area.
Breakfast ranks 5 stars.
Now, for lunch. I’m obsessed with the superfood salad. It’s flavorful, well textured and probably has a great balance of vitamins. My only complaint is I wish there were more beets and a little more advacado. That being said, they probably have it measured our for calorie consumption.
The summer rolls are tasty and light and there’s a great selection of vegan and gluten free choices.
I’m so excited kale and clover has opened in our neighborhood. They’d better get used to seeing my family around:-)

Love the concept of this restaurant, I always enjoy trying out new healthy and vegetarian-​friendly restaurants. I love the set up of this restaurant. Interior was cute and very clean cut looking. Outdoor seating was pretty with all the little lights lit up at night! Bathrooms were pretty cool too, loved the giant sink bowl thing haha. Also they had music like blasting in the bathroom, which was unexpected.
Customer service was good, our food came out quickly and everything was done correctly. I went with my mom and old neighbors, one of the neighbors and I both got veggie burgers, everyone else tried a salad. I was excited to hear that there was a house made veggie burger, as its always kind of a let down when restaurants just use Morning Star patties. Was excited when the food first came out because the bun looked incredible, unfortunately the patty itself lacked flavor. It was ok, but just under seasoned and not enough sauce on it. There was not any ketchup either so I found myself dipping my veggie burger in Chulula. It was ok, just not the best. If my rating was based only on the veggie burger, it would get three stars. Also it came with a carrot garbanzo bean salad which was not amazing, but pretty good. My mom shared her salad with me, and I cannot remember what it was called, but it was very tasty! There was kale and romaine, quinoa, avocado, dried apricots, beets, and some other delicious stuff. I think I preferred the salad over my veggie burger which is surprising for me!
I was definitely oogling over the breakfast menu. sweet potato pancakes?! There is something I have really got to come back and try!

Having just eaten here, my tastebuds are dancing! You order at the counter and then they bring the food to your seats. There are tons of vegan and gluten-​free options. I came with two friends and so I was able to try a lot of dishes, and one was more delicious than the next! Both the Vegetable Chopped and Superfood salads were gigantic (as they should be at $ 10 a pop) and delicious. They forgot my apricots in my salad and were very gracious about it, quickly adding them. I especially recommend the miso dressing.
I also tried the ‘Faux Phở,’ a vegetarian version. The broth was particularly good and tasted almost like meat — very savory. The black bean tacos were tasty. Be aware, the menu doesn’t list that they come on corn tortillas. A great breakfast/​lunch option in North Scottsdale.
