"Most diners serve steaming sausages and bacon, but you won’t find any meat at this vegetarian and vegan diner. You can get any of the diner staples. Anything from eggs benedict to delicious desserts like their “Mile High Lemon Meringue” pie. They even have a killer build-your-own-omelet situation going on. (with a vegan egg option!)" - Intrepid
"The menu at Veggie Galaxy is made up of excellent comfort food that just happens to be mostly vegan, like biscuits and gravy, corned “beef” hash, and chocolate frappes. The plush booths, formica tables, and the glass display case full of glossy vegan cakes might look retro, but the menu is full of savvy plant-based substitutions. The Comet, with seitan sausage and citrusy mashed avocado, is one of the best egg sandwiches in town, and your friends just might write you into their wills for ordering the pancakes (which can be made gluten free) for the table. Brunch is served daily here, so no need to wait for the weekend to get your fix." - lala thaddeus, tanya edwards, catherine smart
"A classic diner sans meat, Veggie Galaxy has a full breakfast menu with the likes of pancakes slathered in caramelized banana butter, plus soups and salads, veggie burgers, and assorted entrees, including a variety of hearty sandwiches like a BLT with tempeh bacon. But save room for pies, frappes, cheesecake, and other all-vegan desserts." - Nathan Tavares
"This vegetarian diner — now under the leadership of a new executive chef, Dante Gabriel Funes, whose resume includes a stint at Brassica, the excellent, experimental restaurant in Jamaica Plain — serves a giant selection of diner classics, minus the meat, and its entirely vegan bakery churns out some of the tastiest cakes, pies, pastries, and treats in the Boston area. The doughnuts, especially, are must-eats." - Erika Adams
"When you’re thinking of where to go out on a Friday night, a vegan diner and bakery probably isn’t the first thing that pops into your head. But Veggie Galaxy fills up every weekend with people partying and plant basing (that’s like freebasing, but legal and involving a lot more quinoa). The bakery up front is 100% vegan, not that you’d be able to tell from the cheesecake. The rest of the menu is vegetarian (though everything can be made vegan), and consists of dinner standards for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you don’t know where to start, you can’t go wrong with the beet lentil mushroom burger." - dan secatore
