Veggie Galaxy is a diner-style vegetarian restaurant located in the Central Square section of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Contents

The establishment was founded by Adam Penn in 2011 after his first vegetarian restaurant, Veggie Planet in Harvard Square had operated for more than ten years. Veggie Galaxy has been credited in Boston Magazine as “the Best of Boston for Vegetarian Restaurants”

The restaurant is inspired by classic diner cuisine and vegetarian cuisine and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The fact that they don't serve any meat or seafood should be considered a "footnote". Veggie Galaxy is mainly concerned with serving full-flavored, balanced dishes that are pleasing to vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores alike.

History

The diner opened for business on September 5, 2011.

Media awards

Veggie Galaxy has earned numerous awards and prizes during its five year in existence.
