Veggie Galaxy

Veggie Galaxy gives the diner menu a vegetarian home on Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square. Breakfast runs all day, so pancakes, French toast, and scrambles don’t have to wait for the weekend. Burgers and mac and cheese cover the savory side, while the bakery makes a persuasive case for leaving room after lunch. The restaurant serves vegetarian and vegan food; the bakery is entirely vegan.

That distinction matters when ordering, especially if you’re avoiding eggs or dairy. Look for the vegan choices and ask about substitutions rather than assuming every dish is plant-based. Come for breakfast with friends, a diner-style dinner, or something from the cake case. Reservations are available through the restaurant’s website.
