A fantastic vegan diner experience, with delicious food and excellent service. Seating was in booths or at a bar, and everything was clean. I loved the diner / space theme, and they managed to really pull it off. We went on a Tuesday night, around 7pm. They were busy, but we were seated quickly & our food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. Our server was friendly & attentive, but didn't hover. For drinks, I got a Chocolate Martini (heavy on both the chocolate & the etoh--incredible), and my parter got the Bloody Mars (he gave it 3/5 stars). For entrees, I HAD to order the vegan Mac n' Stack, a ridiculous (but delicious) chicken sandwich with mac & cheese waffles as the bun. I ended up eating it with a knife & a fork (because it was so tall I couldn't fit a bit in my mouth), and I can't emphasize enough how amazing it was. The coleslaw it came with was creamy and paired excellently. My partner got one of the vegan eggs benefit, made with their vegan egg replacement. He liked it (gave it 3.5/5 stars), but agreed that the Mac n' Stack was the best thing we tried. We were so full that we couldn't try out their desserts, but I know we'll be back to get some of the cheesecake (and also, of course, to try more of the sandwiches!). Overall, this was everything I want out of a vegan dining experience. The vibe was so fun--didn't feel the food was both classic & creative, and they had so many amazing options. Can't wait to come back! read more

I came to Cambridge just to go to Veggie Galaxy! I've been vegan for many years & am so delighted at their extensive menu of plant-based options. Really yummy teas & drinks too. Everyone is very nice - servers are kind, diners are happy to be there. I hope every city aspires to satisfy the vegan / vegetarian as well as Veggie Galaxy consistently does!!! read more

Veggie Galaxy is always a win. Every meal here feels comforting and reliable, especially with how many eggless options they have, it makes ordering so easy. Tried the pancake for the first time and it was so good. Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. Pro tip: order a savory dish and add a single pancake on the side for something sweet. Best of both worlds. Staff is friendly and quick, and the food is consistently yummy. read more

Veggie Galaxy has been on my list of restaurants to visit for a while. My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner and got some plates to share. The food came out very quickly after we ordered and the waitress was quite nice. The food was very good. The mac and cheese itself was delicious but the "pepperoni" was very plain in taste. I would definitely get the mac and cheese again, but without the pepperoni. The sandwich and burgers were also very good. You get a lot of food for what you pay for so it's a great place to go if you're very hungry. read more

Veggie Galaxy completely blew me away. I'm vegetarian (and usually pretty picky about vegan substitutes), but this place nailed every single dish we tried. We came for brunch and ordered the vegan eggs Benedict, a chocolate chip pancake, the vegan biscuits and gravy, and their wild vegan chicken sandwich that uses mac-and-cheese waffles as the "bread." Yes, it's exactly as insane and amazing as it sounds. The vegan Benedict was rich and comforting without being heavy, and the chocolate chip pancake was perfectly fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The biscuits and gravy tasted like true comfort food--super flavorful, no weird aftertaste that some vegan gravies have. But honestly, the mac-and-cheese waffle chicken sandwich stole the show. It's one of those dishes you try once and immediately start planning when you can come back for it again. Service was friendly, the vibe was super cute, and the whole menu is creative in a way that doesn't feel gimmicky--it's actually delicious. If you're in Boston and want vegan brunch that goes way beyond "just okay," Veggie Galaxy is a must. I loved it. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The ambience is super cute and I love the idea of a vegetarian diner. I've eaten there twice though, and both times it was just underwhelming. The home fries were soggy and had a strange acrid taste, the hashbrowns were undercooked and limp, the waffles overly sweet, the sauces were...okay but just a bit off. The service is great, though; friendly and quick. read more

Really enjoyed the bbq jackfruit plate I had for lunch and thought it deserved its own review. The jackfruit was well seasoned and pulled off the pulled pork texture very well. It was served on a plate of rice and a nice sized salad so it was a very large and filling portion. read more

Had an amazing brunch here last weekend with my family! We had a pretty large group that included a couple of kids and thankfully they do a fantastic job of catering to children's tastes. There are truly dishes for everyone here! And even better, everything on the menu can be made vegan, with many vegans default vegan. We started with some loaded fries for the table, which was such a hit. We all couldn't stop raving about the homemade vegan queso sauce which was so creamy and luscious along with the meaty bites. The waffle fries were very crispy and perfectly salted. I ordered my go to stuffed French toast which is such a fun and unique dish with its decadent cream cheese filling and covered in a lovely berry mixture and airy coconut whipped cream. I also tried some of my niece's Nutella waffle which was spectacular. Their homemade hazelnut butter is so rich and chocolatey, I never would have guessed it was vegan! Since I wanted something boozy, I got a their boozy frappe which was a mixture of sherry, coconut ice cream and chai spice. It was so decadent and left me feeling warm and gleeful! We also got a cake to go, which was fittingly just as amazing as everything we had at the diner! The service was so friendly and prompt! The ambiance was also lovely with classic diner booths and was comfy and cozy! Parking was pretty easy at nearby meters and there's some public lots a couple of blocks away! read more

We came here to try their vegan food. This place serves eggs and dairy cheese, so it's vegetarian, but it appears that anything can be made vegan. We got the Mac 'N Stack with potato salad and the Buffalo Chicken Burger, substituting with fries. It was served well and tasted good! This place is essentially a veggie diner, which was cool. The restaurant staff were attentive and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside and there appears to be a patio area outside as well. Although we didn't get dessert, we saw others get some and it looked awesome! (Confetti cake!) I would recommend this place. read more

Came hungry, ate down. The vibe is crazy space vegetable go on an adventure to become meat - basically fun old space diner ambiance!! So fun! The bathroom is a really unsettling bright green so don't come here for the bathroom come for the food, though it was clean dw - service was so nice and they were all very friendly!! Gave us good suggestions for our indecisive group so that was helpful, was lit epic and they were so chill with us sitting for a whilee, a must go if you are veggie or not veggietarian! After all our meat eater friend (who literally eats a stack of 20 ham deli slices in every meal) enjoyed the fake meat to good extent! read more

It has been a few years since I went back to Veggie Galaxy. In that time new owners, menu and staff. Walking out I yelled to the kitchen "Betta than ever". Service which used to be pokey was speedy and polite, especially by Boston standards. Drinks came out quickly and perfectly. The tea I ordered was loose and in a tea ball and the water was just hot enough. Appetizers were Brussel sprouts, well grilled and yet not over cooked. We also got the tator tots that were amazing -- crispy! I had the Blue Plate Special, a Chanukah plate -- braised brisket (really seitan) with two latkes and veggies. I could have eaten 6 of the latkes. My son had a veggie burger and devoured it. The ambiance was professional but chill. Very Cambridge -- in all the good ways. Better than ever -- do go early as they do not accept reservations. read more

What a find! Veggie Galaxy has the best banana pancakes - Jack Johnson would approve. They were fluffy and crisp on the edges and served with caramelized banana and whipped coconut cream. No syrup needed. Just what I needed after an early flight. My server Hannah was great, and she turned me on to the seitan sausage (made in-house). Slightly dry and definitely better while hot, but well-spiced and tasty. Highly recommend whether you're vegetarian/vegan or not! read more

This is a place that I keep coming back to over and over again because I want to get excellent food when I spend my money. Veggie galaxy has knocked it out of the park with this Tuesday Fried Clams (oyster mushroom) special. I've come in a few times as a solo diner and I'm quickly seated and welcomed with a glass of water and a menu. The first time I came here I tried the Banh Mi blue plate special. It was incredible. I was so nourished and I enjoyed every bite. The slaw was perfect and the sandwich blew me away. The next time I got veggie Galaxy, I got takeout for a cauliflower po boy. Which is the dish I kept coming to try but I got distracted by other awesome options. The cauliflower po-boy was spicy and crunchy and so flavorful even after a 45-minute car ride. The slaw is really good and I would not suggest subbing it out for something because it's not too sweet and it's very juicy and it's very crunchy and you get that nice fiber boost of the cabbage. What I really love about veggie Galaxy is it isn't trying to be healthy. It's trying to be amazing. And it totally succeeds in being a stupendous delicious experience. The establishment itself is very clean and you can tell that the owners are present and the managers are working and people are happy. I think maybe the up charge that you pay for an establishment like this where each dish is $17 just about is that you pay for happy staff and a good place. 10/10 would recommend all the things I've tried. Banh mi. Cauliflower po' boy. Fried Clams (oyster mushrooms). I absolutely will be coming back over and over and over again. And also I like being a solo diner here because there's other solo diners and I can just journal. read more

We walked 20 min in the rain from our visit to Harvard to come here, and it did not disappoint! Service was quick and friendly at 5 pm on a Sunday and started to get crowded by 5:30 but there is plenty of seating. The diner vibe was spot on. We loved the cauli po boy sandwich. The portobello melt was good too. The side of potato salad was perfect. I wish we could try everything on the menu! They charge a 5% "Kitchen Appreciation Fee" It's definitely not a whole food option but a fun treat once in a while! read more

My partner and I got seitan chick'n tenders, onion rings, Harlem style chopped cheese hero w coleslaw, and Kendall Square burger w potato salad - TASTE: 4/5 - the chick'n tenders' side of agave mustard was sweet and brought flavor to the seitan. The chopped cheese and side of potato salad were tasty, while the side of coleslaw was just alright. Enjoyed the roasted garlic mayo in the burger TEXTURE: 5/5 - the seitan was battered and fried nicely, just like chicken, and super satisfying w the onion rings. Both the chopped cheese and burger were well supported by their respective sub roll and griddled patty bun, and both were very saucy (caution: messy lol) PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $69 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - large portions and we took boxes to go SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 12:45pm on a Sunday and waited less than 5min to be seated, unlike larger parties. Food started coming out 15-20min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - appreciate the vegetarian and vegan accessibility in combo w a fun, nostalgic diner space. Plus, coat hooks at every table. TAKEOUT: 4/5 - the boxes were fiber- or recycled paper-based(?), sturdy, and included tissue paper lining too PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot on Douglass St read more

Super fun spot for vegetarians / vegans craving some classic diner food, or if you're just looking to try something new! I was visiting a couple friends in Boston and they (two long-time vegans) were absolutely obsessed with this place, so we obviously had to check it out. I was immediately charmed with the retro, spaceship-themed decor and open kitchen; it truly felt like I was transported into an 80's or 90's TV show. The staff was super friendly and welcomed us with bright smiles and incredible cheer -- a much-needed contrast to the cold, rainy gloom of the Boston winter. They ushered us to our seats along the bar, which was the perfect place to watch the chefs do their magic. Their menu offers an incredible selection of all the diner classics, but made vegan. Whether you're looking for some good tempeh bacon, vegan sausage, or biscuits and gravy, Veggie Galaxy has every warm, comforting meal you can imagine. After much deliberation, I ended up settling on their vegan chicken and waffles, a Southern delight turned brunch classic that I had always been so jealous of my meat-eating friends for. The sweet and savory combination was as amazing as they've always described it, and Veggie Galaxy did a great job of imitating the texture and flavor profile the chicken would've offered the dish. The waffle was hot and fresh, with a lovely warm, pillowy interior and crispy shell. It was topped with two of their vegan chicken fingers, which were perfectly fried and crispy. It came with both warm maple syrup and a house-made vegan gravy that should absolutely be on everyone's -- vegan or not -- brunch tables. read more

I was staying close by on a trip to Boston, and this place came highly recommended by a family member. We decided to check it out Sunday around noon and ended up doing take-out because the dine-in line was outrageously long, extending outside. We were able to pick up our food in less than 15 minutes. We tried the chick'n and waffles ($17), and the meatball sub ($17, made vegan with no additional cost) with fries (additional $2). The seitan chick'n was delicious and tender, perfect with the gravy, while the waffles were slightly sweet. There was a bit of inadvertent mixing of the gravy and syrup on the waffle which was a rather disgusting combination, but either one or the other on the waffle was excellent! The meatball sub had a smokey flavor which we didn't mind. The fries were a perfect texture of slightly crisp but still soft. While the food was amazing, I'd be interested in dining in to experience the ambiance as the diner looks quite cozy inside. read more

Great place to come for veggie comfort food. We ordered the blueberry pancakes, totchos (veganized), and a Greek salad (veganized). The Greek salad was fine, pretty basic. Very heavy on the spinach. The totchos were delicious and the portion is enormous, extremely shareable. My husband liked his pancakes. The service was a little slow, I never got my soda refilled and it took absolutely forever to get the check. I would still certainly return to try more of their dishes. read more

The first time I went here, I was blown away by how many amazing touches from salad dressings to potato salad and of course the desserts or anything that I've tried before. Now have been back a few times have tried The "fried clams", pumpkin pie, and my favorite go to the Rachel. This last time I went for the Thanksgiving dinner, which was kind of a miss, because they ran out of cranberry sauce and gravy. Which to me vegan or otherwise is a dealbreaker. I don't know if it was the holiday rush, but I found the gentleman greeter to be kinda condescending. And if it wasn't such an effort for me to get there, I would've walked out. Also I don't appreciate them adding a tip on my receipt. It's kinda like them charging me for excepting a credit card for payment. Which goes against the BI-LAWS for excepting credit cards. READ YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE YOU SIGN OR ADD TWO TIMES THE TIP. ( Shady) read more

Always fun to visit when you're in the Boston area. A huge diner menu, with all day breakfast and both vegetarian and vegan options. I've tried the meatball sub and the chopped cheese sandwich, and both were super tasty and delicious. Both times I've gone with a meat eater, who was shocked at how good the vegetarian food was. They also have a number of different cakes and other dessert options at the front that look really good, one of these days I will try one of those! Service is fast and friendly, with a classic diner ambiance in the middle of Cambridge. Portions are generous, so you will not leave hungry. read more

I made plans to meet up with a friend in Boston who has dietary restrictions. I was happy to work around her needs and she suggested Veggie Galaxy. I was a little hesitant as I am not vegetarian, but one glance at the menu told me Veggie Galaxy had plenty to offer (vegan, vegetarian, or not) They also have a claim to fame as having been featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives. I thought this was a fun detail! The decor and signage were fun and bright. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and went with outdoor seating. Our server was very kind and did not mind me needing some extra time to look over the menu. She was also happy to explain that any item on the menu I wanted could be made with cheese and didn't have to be vegan cheese. I loved that the menu had breakfast all day. We got aperol spritz to start. They were made well. We shared onion rings as an appetizer. They were battered and tasty. I also ordered the French onion soup. Loved it! I went with traditional waffles with strawberries, powdered sugar, caramelized banana butter, and real maple syrup. It was delightful. The banana butter added rich flavor to each bite. I couldn't resist desert. A very vibrant piece of funfetti vegan cake ( I took this home to share with my husband) We left no crumbs. Veggie Galaxy has been on my mind since visiting. It was just so good! read more

Love veggie galaxy! This is quickly becoming my favorite place to meet up with any of my vegetarian and vegan friends in Boston. The vibe is diner with booth seating and retro atmosphere, serving up classics like burgers and sandwiches, breakfast all day, and other entrees like Mac and cheese. The menu is extensive! I recently tried their cheesy fries off the sides menu and it blew my socks off. The vegan cheese sauce was delicious and perfect to kick my late night snack craving. My friends got the Mac and cheese and a sandwich and both loved their meals - huge portions and friendly service! read more

PSA for the week of the 11th! Veggie Galaxy's breakfast sandwiches are $1 this week between 9 and 11am. I tried the egg and cheese and it was very yummy and certainly well worth the dollar. Pretty heavy and greasy but that fits the dinner vibes so I don't mind. Garlic mayo added a nice extra touch. Service was friendly and prompt. Coffee was very good - bonus points for being bottomless. Will happily come back and pay full price. read more

I have been here a few times before and I have usually really enjoyed the food and service. I have noticed in the past couple of visits that the quality of food has gone down while the prices have gone up. I had the huevos rancheros and the whole dish just seemed very wet and slimy and not much flavor with the hash also having a bitter taste. I wasn't really able to finish half of this dish. I also ordered a peanut butter chocolate milkshake which had no peanut butter taste. I really liked veggie galaxy so I'm hoping that these things will improve. read more

I've been here two times so far, and both times I've been impressed! The decor is really cute and gives off the vibes of an old-school diner. Veggie Galaxy is terrific if you're dining with people who may have dietary restrictions or simply if you just want vegetarian or vegan food. This place gets really busy on weekends for breakfast and brunch, so be prepared for a wait. We got there on a Saturday around 12:30 PM and the wait for a table of 2 was nearly an hour. With that being said, the wait is definitely worth it. By the time we were seated, I was STARVING. I over-ordered food because everything sounded so good and the prices were pretty affordable (especially for the area). The portions are large which was a pleasant surprise. In terms of appetizers, our waitress recommended the Vegan Mac & Cheese Bites and Potato Salad. I loved the Sriracha Aioli that came with the Mac & Cheese Bites; I even added it to the super garlicky potato salad! I've also gotten their Brussels sprouts which were drenched with a delicious Sriracha agave glaze and ranch dressing drizzle. In terms of entrees, I've gotten the French Toast and their waffle. I definitely recommend their super fluffy and soft French Toast. It comes with a sweet banana butter and maple syrup. I would definitely recommend adding on their coconut whipped cream for $1.50 as well. Their waffle wasn't anything too special, it sort of just tasted like a regular waffle you could get anywhere. The menu also says waffles, so I thought I was getting multiple waffles, but it ended up being one large waffle, which was interesting. Overall, this place is amazing! Regardless if you're vegetarian or vegan, you have to stop by here to try out their delicious eats. They also have sweet treats that look really tasty -- that'll be the next thing that I try! read more

Even if you don't care for "fake meat" vegetarian/vegan dishes, the fries and tater tots here are a must-try! Two of us stopped by for a weeknight dinner. We ordered an orange creamsicle ($6.99), galaxy burger ($13.99) with cheese (+$1.50), and Harlem-style chopped cheese hero ($14.99). Instead of getting the default potato salad or slaw with the entrees we subbed them for fries and tater tots (+$2 each) which was a great decision! My lactose intolerant belly appreciates that the floats and desserts here are all vegan. Since the ice cream used in the float is coconut milk-based it adds a coconut flavor to the float, which took me by surprise but went well with the orange soda base. I thought the flavors of the burger and chopped cheese hero were pretty good as the vegetarian versions. If I were to try to eat less meat and craving those items I would feel satisfied. The fries and tater tots were especially good! Both were fried to a crispy perfection on the outside while staying fluffy on the inside. They were also seasoned well and did not need any ketchup or other flavor. The prices here are reasonable and the portions are quite big. I can understand why there's always a line out the door! read more

I was not disappointed and the cake was absolutely decadent!
