eggs benedict
Lily F.

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!

Crunchwrap (Monday Special)

For those who are vegans and vegetarians, this place is not only an amazing option, but they are very good overall about accommodating dietary restrictions. When we once shared about a soy intolerance we did sadly learn that a large amount of items are made with soy or soy milk, but the staff was previously very helpful. This time the wait was a lot longer than they'd shared at the start, and the waitress was forgetful of multiple items unfortunately. I usually get the chopped cheese with the cheese sauce instead of the cheese slices (as was recommended to me the first time I went there by someone who works there), but this time oddly she told me they do not do a cheese sauce on this item. Regardless, the food was fantastic, great portions, and arrived very quickly. The portions are also generous and definitely lasted us two meals. The greens with the Mac and cheese were a bit sad but otherwise their sides are usually great. The diner style decor and varied menu are a great option for any vegans or vegetarians. I have friends who have moved out of Cambridge/boston for over 5 years now and anytime they visit the one place they ask to go eat at is Veggie Galaxy!

Mac & Stack (seitan chicken patty, tempeh bacon, mac and cheese waffle bun) DELICIOUS!

Food was absolutely delicious! Location is decent, with meter parking, the restaurant gives 1950's diner vibes! Service was slow, I will admit. The host was sitting down chatting with the cooks a lot before she even noticed I was waiting to be seated at the podium and ended up being my server and I had to flag her over for a Togo box, napkins, and my check because she kept being by the cooks talking, hence me giving 4/5 stars because if that weren't the case, it would've been Aced by the food hands down! I ate every last piece of food even after I took some home because it was somewhat of a big sandwich. Overall, I'd return but to take my food to go.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

House-made Carrot Cake
Jeff K.

One of the top vegetarian spots I've eaten at. Lots of options and combinations are insane. Had: Far east with chicken (9/10) Pesto Chik'n Parm sand (10/10) Carrot cake (7.5/10) Chocolate Chip cookies (6/10)

Chopped cheese

My partner tries to eat vegan when she can, so I'm always looking for the best places. This is THE BEST PLACE. Veggie Galaxy is a veggie paradise. Every dish is delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Their meat substitutes are amazingly good. I couldn't even tell my milkshake wasn't made with milk. This place will make any vegan food skeptic eat their words.

Pancakes
Dakota V.

My partner and I have gone here so many times we've lost count. It is easily our favorite restaurant. We would recommend this place to anyone. Great service, great food, and a cool diner vibe. Ps. Try the Mac and cheese bites, they're delicious!

Inside
Ibis R.

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.

Braised brisket and latkes
Dennis M.

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.

Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening.

I drove from NY to Cambridge to spend quality time with my daughter and post-celebrate her birthday. So after dropping my bags off at my kid's apt, I figured I'd call Juliet and see if I could lock down a table. Unfortunately, the only seats available were at the counter. Not a problem- we were cool with that. Buttttt....after relaxing in her apt for a bit, I lost track of time and ended up missing that window. Fast-forward to when we were FINALLY here. Let me say- Josh, the host, came through and managed to find us a table! THANK YOUUUU! There's something for every eating lifestyle plus, there are hot and cold beverages, mocktails and brunch cocktails. Our server, Medha, was awesome! We asked for her thoughts on a few dishes and what we appreciated most was that she kept it all the way real! No sugarcoating or just telling us what she thought we wanted to hear- just straight-up honesty. I went with the three-slice Gruyère and mozzarella grilled cheese with a side salad and some seasoned breakfast potatoes. That grilled cheese was good- the bread had those toasted, golden-brown edges with just the right amount of crunch when you bit into it. And the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. My kid ordered the chilaquiles and I'm not even going to lie... I liked her dish better than mine! It wasn't because my grilled cheese wasn't hitting- it actually was- but those chilaquiles and the seasoning were on point and every bite had flavor. So instead of just tossing some plain tortilla chips on the plate and calling it a day, they actually seasoned those chips with like a seasoned salt. That extra touch made those chips pop. Juliet didn't disappoint! Nice food, lots of menu choices and great service- that's what I'm talking about. The only slight negative was my almost flavorless lavender and thyme mocktail that tasted nothing like it. But big shoutout to Josh for finding us a table and Medha for keeping it real.
