One of my favorite vegan places🌍 - Edit
I love this place and have been going here regularly for almost a decade! Everything is so tasty and it’s a great fun treat for a junk food day. Staff is always friendly and all food can be made vegan.

Everything is so good - Edit
The atmosphere is great. Old school diner feel and all the staff is super friendly. So many vegan things to choose from on the menu.
Read moreI had the mozzarella sticks, the club sandwich and potato salad. Everything was delicious. I also took a meatloaf dinner and a piece of Oreo cheesecake home and those were both delicious
Pros: The options!, The atmosphere!
Cons: I wish I lived closer.

I was here for the second time today, and I’ll be coming back. Many options and not too pricey for Boston!

Quality Has Declined :( - Edit
VG used to be really good, but over the last few years the food quality has become worse and prices have increased substantially. $18 for soggy waffles? $15 for rubbery omelette? Everything on the menu has become flavorless, greasy, and emphasizing fake meat. The cakes are rubbery and more cream than cake. Very disappointing since this place used to be the go to spot in Cambridge, now it’s just meh

A little disappointing - Edit
Had the clam chowder first which was super delicious, would have given it a 5 if it ended there.
Read moreGot the traditional eggs benedict with the Yo Egg, texture wise absolutely perfect however not much flavour at all.
Unfortunately I had to end up giving 3 stars as we got the boston cake at the end and it was so stale.
My boyfriend and I are not picky eaters, in that we will generally at least try and finish the dish even if we don't like it, however it was inedible, the cake was so dry and hard.
We weren't charged for it which we appreciate but it was a shame.

Tasty and fun! - Edit
Loved all the options and how everything can be made vegan. The vegan “yo eggs” were interesting and very eggy. Tried biscuits and gravy and the corned beef hash benedict. Looking forward to trying more.

Good breakfast - Edit
Dining here was very special. It’s not a vegan place, but you wouldn’t miss meat at all — they offer a wide variety of plant-based options.
Read moreEverything we tried was delicious. I ordered the plant-based ham and egg — the egg looked incredibly real and tasted very close to the original, especially the yolk. The ham was okay, maybe a little dry, but still good. I also had waffles with berries and coconut whipped cream — absolutely delicious. The berries had a slightly sour flavor, and the sweetness of the whipped cream created a perfect balance. You can also add maple syrup, which made it even better.
Overall, it was a very filling and satisfying breakfast. I was especially impressed by how realistic the egg yolk tasted. Highly recommend!

Yum - Edit
Buffalo chicken was sooo good. Idk if the texture would’ve sold non-vegans - but I loved it. If you’re bringing non-vegans here I’d recommend the dishes using Beyond meat because that will taste more realistic to them than the seitan

Great diner food made vegan - Edit
Extensive vegan menu, delicious for a date night! Vegan does not equal healthy so come expecting fried, salty, sugary (yummy!) food. I had the steak frites which was really delicious, and a side of cabbage slaw which I was on the fence about. The only word I can think of to describe the texture is “viscous”. Hubby got the blue plate special which was tamales. He wasn’t blown away. But of course the deserts at Veggie Galaxy more than make up for any disappointment about dinner! We got Oreo cheesecake and tres leche cake. Divine!

Classic Vegan Diner Vibes ✨ - Edit
Food was really good but not great — it felt like a typical diner experience, just made all vegan. When we went, it was extremely busy, so service took a bit. The onion rings and mozzarella sticks were definitely the highlights — both crispy and flavorful. Overall, a fun spot for comfort food in the Boston area, especially if you’re craving that nostalgic diner feel.

Good, but not quite great - Edit
I would easily give 4.5 stars, but this wasn’t quite 5* by big-city standards. The atmosphere was great with a perfect retro diner vibe. The menu was expansive and reasonably priced, with most of it vegan by default. The mozzarella sticks were good, but just standard (Violife?) cheese with some seasoned panko. The clam chowder was a little bland and needed more mushrooms. The Mac ‘n Stack looked as outrageous as it sounded, and again, was good but lacked that extra ‘something’ to take it to the next level. The Boston cream pie was NOT good, with a thin coconut cream rather than custard and tough cake. Boston was surprisingly lacking in vegan options so I’d probably still recommend a trip to check out this classic, but i wouldn’t go back.

Finally, a veg diner! - Edit
It’s easy to find veg places that are filled with salads, harder to find a place that will get you some solid, greasy spoon, veg diner food! So delicious. They also have a great patio when the weather is good!

Good old Greasy Spoon Diner - Edit
I don’t miss much about going vegan but I do miss diners. If you’re looking for classic diner style vegan foods Veggie galaxy hits the spot. Very cool diner vibes, complete with large cake display up front and neon lit signage in the window. They do serve eggs & cheese but everything on the menu can be made vegan if you ask. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a classic plant based greasy spoon experience.
