Basically drove to Cambridge to eat here. Loved the reuban, buffalo fingers, Greek salad, and cheese fries. Everything can be made Vegan.

Classic comfort food, but better! - Edit
I love my kale-lentil grain bowls and all, but sometimes you need a comfort food splurge, and when you do, Veggie Galaxy is THE place to go. The Rachel and the Club sandwiches are loaded and perfectly messy-delicious, as are the buffalo chick'n tenders. The chick'n and broccoli alfredo is so convincingly creamy we almost weren't sure it could be vegan. Above all, though - the frappes. 🤤 And you can get them malted! They are the perfect balance of thick, creamy and sippable.
Read moreThey don't just make vegan-friendly versions of diner classics - in many cases, I think they really improve them.
Pros: Comfort food without the guilt, Some sandwiches can also be gluten-free
Cons: No gluten-free pasta options

Really cool diner experience - Edit
We drove to Boston just to try this place for breakfast. Ordered the French toast stuffed with cream, chick'n and waffle, corned beef hash and cocktails. The food was really good although I didn't really like the chick'n substitute they used for the waffle. Most food was actually vegan. The cocktails were excellent and the vibe of the place was buzzing and super busy.

AMAZING!!! - Edit
This is by far the best vegan restaurant I've ever ate at. Not only did this place have vegan options, but every single thing on the menu could be made to be vegan, and most things did not have to be modified to be vegan as they were already, with the exception of cheese. I had a waffle with whipped cream which was so delicious and an amazing frappe. I went with a group of mixed-diet people and every single person loved the food. Definitely coming back here again! The prices weren't crazy expensive like they tend to be in vegan options too which was a plus.

Take out service was fast. Restaurant was crowded after 7 pm. Ordered buffalo mac n cheese, which was good. Also ordered the galaxy burger, it was pretty horrible like some weird mystery mush.

Would eat here everyday if I could. - Edit
This is one of my favorite restaurants. There are always new things to try with their blue plate specials. I love their vegan mac & cheese bites as well as their buffalo chick’n. Their vegan Oreo cheesecake is the best. It’s a fun place to go to hang out with friends and have delicious food.

Vegan Options Galore! - Edit
On a roadtrip through Boston, we decided to detour to Cambridge just to try this place! We were not disappointed! Most menu items were vegan and the ones that weren't could ALL be made vegan! It was delicious and the staff were all so nice and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! I will be back if I'm ever close by!

Amazing vegan/vegetarian food! - Edit
Everything on the menu can be made vegan and is delicious. Their meat substitutes are spot on. And for once veg food isn’t all healthy. It’s great to feel terrible after eating vegan food!

Kings of Boston - Edit
One of the best spots on earth. Truly a must if you’re in the Boston area. My favorites are the club sandwich, the pancakes, and the vegan southwest omelette. They regularly have new and exciting specials/seasonal options.
Read moreThey cater heavily to vegans, however they are technically vegetarian (they have eggs and dairy cheese for those that want it). I would say about 75-80% of the menu is vegan by default, however everything else can be made vegan. This is the only con, however since everything can easily be made vegan I did not deduct points. Just make sure to specify when you order.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Exciting Atmosphere
Cons: Not everything is vegan

best vegan food in boston! - Edit
i can’t praise veggie galaxy enough! i love coming here for the cool diner vibes, extremely friendly/helpful waiters, and unbeatable food. although it is vegetarian, all items on the menu can be made vegan (although some more successfully than others...) the reuben is the best one i’ve ever had and the fries are too die for. my boyfriend loves the blt and we both adore the vegan mac and cheese. french toast and donuts are delicious too.
Read moreyou simply must stop by!!
Pros: lots of vegan options, service, atmosphere
Cons: lil expensive if you want to try multiple items, can be quite busy

A gem - Edit
Fantastic food, I’ve been multiple times with a mixture of veg and non-veg friends and family and everyone has loved it so far. The decor and vibe definitely completes the experience, and if you have a chance to go for the donuts on the weekend they’re 100% worth it!

Unreal - Edit
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It’s so good. SO good. We didn’t eat anything even remotely healthy. This is the first time in years I’ve had cheese sticks and they were excellent, hot and stringy. Not sure what kind of vegan cheese they use. Reminded is of the Downbeat Diner in Honolulu.
Read moreOur table had about eight or nine different dishes between appetizers and dinners and all of them were rich, filling, and wonderful.
Friendly servers. No wait, despite the crowd. Wish we had room for dessert!
Pros: Everything can be veganized, Easy to find , Delicious food

Vegan junk food! - Edit
Finally made it here! Though they said the wait would be 45 minutes, we were seated within 20. It was also nice to be able to order beer and a frap at the bakery bar while waiting. Service was efficient and the food was like a dream come true, everyone deserves some junk comfort food from time to time! I could’ve done without the tempeh bacon but the seitan chick’n was out of this world.

Awesome - Edit
If you are vegan, you have to go here at least once. This is such a unique experience with countless vegan options of typical diner fare. Everything can be made vegan. The food is definitely not healthy and can be pretty dense and oily, but again it is diner food. Service is always great, and the food is good. There have been a few dishes that we have been let down by but their Ruben, mozz sticks, oreo shake, and chicken sandwiches are awesome.

no vegan restaurant will ever compare, I truly believe this is the best food money can buy. it's the most adorable old fashioned diner with a huge menu (most things are vegan, everything can be made vegan) and the kindest servers. I stop by literally every week.
