Veggie Galaxy is a diner-style vegetarian restaurant located in the Central Square section of Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1]

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.[2] Veggie Galaxy has been credited in Boston Magazine as “the Best of Boston for Vegetarian Restaurants”[3]

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".[4] 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 eight years in existence.
