I would love to give 5 stars but a few things threw me off. 1. The outrageous price to upgrade from regular eggs or tofu to Just Egg. Ordered the breakfast burger and we were expecting Just Egg and was heavily disappointed with the flavor, texture and lack of consistency with the tofu. But a $6 upgrade to Just Egg? Come on! You can buy a carton for less than that. Then the incoherence of prices between that “upcharge” and ordering the Wise burrito which already comes with Just Egg and was absolutely insanely delicious. The burrito was $14 and absolutely worth it. 2. Servers were friendly but they looked like forced to be friendly. Not genuine friendly. 3. I recommend using “black salt” to sprinkle on Just Egg to add an eggy flavor. It’s the cherry on top and will make customers even question if it’s real egg or not. Should be added after cooking, not before or during. 4. The desserts were to my surprise all vegan and that was a HUGE plus.

Had a fantastic experience at Veggie Galaxy. The service was warm and attentive, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind and welcoming. We loved the food — the Oreo pancakes were absolutely decadent, like dessert for breakfast in the best way. The veggie burrito was delicious and perfectly spiced, and the three-bean chili had just the right amount of heat and depth. We also tried the onion rings — super crunchy, not greasy at all, and full of flavor. There were so many tempting things on the menu, it was hard to choose. I’m already looking forward to going back to try the next ten dishes I couldn’t pick this time.

I cannot put into words just how amazing this place is, but if I had to, I would simply say: if you have one restaurant to go to in all of Cambridge or even the greater Boston area, make it this one. The food is amazing, like nothing I've ever had before. The staff, kind, attentive and down to earth. The atmosphere is amazing. I honestly have no words to fully and accurately describe how amazing this place is. See. For. Your. Self.

This review is for my first visit to Veggie Galaxy. I've been meaning to try it for many years but it's always been too crowded. I had the Chicken and Waffles. The flavor was excellent. The chicken didn't exactly look like chicken (you can only do so much with seitan), but the flavor and texture were spot on. I highly recommend it.

Veggie Galaxy is an amazing vegan gem! Everything on the menu can be made vegan, which is great if you are going with non-veg friends. They'll have options too. We got the mozzarella sticks (daiya cheese + great seasoning with herbs), the chocolate peanut butter frappe (heavenly and filling!) and the banana bread French toast (also amazing and tasted like banana bread but better)! The service was great, very attentive and quick. And the atmosphere felt very vintage but clean and cozy!

It's very loud inside, probably the loudest place in Boston so far. We ordered Vegan Mozzarella sticks, Cauliflower po-boy and Vegetarian Monte Cristo. We didn't care for the sticks and they came out with the meal. The other two dishes were really good.

The food, when dining in, is good! I've ordered delivery before and it takes forever and does effect the quality. Otherwise, there's something for everyone and I left full and satisfied with my meal.

Everything is plant-based and everything is delicious. Had the vegan chicken & waffles and it blew me away – crispy seitan, fluffy waffle, jalapeños and maple syrup, all perfectly balanced. Desserts? Also fully vegan. The Boston Cream Cake was a dream. Open kitchen, fast service, retro diner vibe. A must-visit spot in Cambridge whether you’re vegan or just hungry for something amazing.
