Got the chickpea salad and the chopped cheese! The chopped cheese was bomb! The chickpea salad tasted more like nutritional yeast than anything. Had a pick up order, it was quick. Cute diner vibe.
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!
This was a nice place to get brunch with friends. Their menu prices are not bad and not everything is vegan so you can still get eggs for brunch. Even so, I still appreciate their vegetarian take on club sandwich, which used tofu and beans. This place is also good to take people who are vegetarian because they have a wide selection of vegetarian options. They seemed to be busy on the day we went, so service was a bit slow, but they made sure to check on us a few times during the meal to see if we needed anything. Also as an fyi: They don't seat you unless your entire group is here so you won't be able to "save a table" for any latecomers. I also love the restaraunt's vibe. It's got a great old-school diner feel that I love. I took the T in and didn't have any problems finding the restaurant.
I missed Veggie Galaxy my first visit to Boston, however, I made up for it my second visit. The menu is amazing, the food is so good, and the dessert...I should have gotten two. A friend an I shared the buffalo potato skins, mac&cheese, went back for a breakfast burrito and dessert and thought about going back one more time. If you have a chance, the peanut butter pie was to die for. So good. Loved the diner feel and fun decor. Make this place a priority for sure!
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.
Visiting Boston, we went to Veggie Galaxy to get some lunch and see Cambridge. The inside is a nice, retro diner with your red stools and 50's decor. The menu is substantive to the point that it can be overwhelming since normally you're used to picking between 1-2 options on the menu. Service was fine on a busy Sunday. I ordered the chopped cheese sandwich, and she had the club sandwich. 10/10 would recommend. I would give this a 4.8/5.0. The fries are standard.
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!
Super incredible vegan/vegetarian diner! I'm vegan and this is definitely a new go to spot for me in Cambridge. I came here with a friend around 5pm on a Saturday night, and we were able to get seats at the counter immediately. All the staff and waiters were super welcoming and friendly. The interior is clean and inviting, and the whole place gives off Pizza Planet from Toy Story vibes. I had the vegan reuben, which was absolutely delicious. I tried the cheese and seitan beef separately and individually they were honestly a little odd, but the sandwich altogether was amazing. The slaw on the side was nice and tangy as well. Prices are not too high for the amount of food. Highly recommend!
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!
