Classic Cambridge Vegetarian Spot To Serve $1 Breakfast Sandwiches: MA Cheap Eats

CAMBRIDGE, MA — It's been years since the beloved vegetarian restaurant Veggie Galaxy has been operating at its original hours. Thanks, COVID.

But ownership has come out this week with some great news for frequenters of the beloved Cambridge spot: Breakfast hours are back.

Not only will Veggie Galaxy be open for breakfast starting at 9 a.m., but the restaurant will be selling four classic breakfast sandwich options for just $1 for one week in November.

All four varieties will be available from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. starting Nov. 11 through Nov. 15. Each is vegetarian with an option to be made vegan.

Four $1 breakfast sandwich options

Great Galaxy

Over-easy egg, hash browns, plant-based bacon, cheddar cheese, baby arugula, roasted garlic mayo on a griddled bun

Egg & Cheese

Scrambled eggs, Vermont sharp cheddar, baby arugula, roasted garlic mayo on toasted sourdough or English muffin

Southwestern Breakfast Burrito

Chopped seitan corned beef, guacamole, home fries, scrambled egg, cheddar, pickled jalapenos, cilantro in a flour tortilla

The Comet

Over-easy egg, seitan sausage, cheddar, avocado mash, red pepper sauce on a griddled bun

Veggie Galaxy is the diner-style vegetarian dream world of Adam Penn, who founded the restaurant in 2011 in the Central Square neighborhood of Cambridge.

"We’re thrilled to bring back our pre-pandemic hours and welcome guests earlier in the day," said Penn. "This promotion is our way of saying thank you to our community for their continued support while giving new customers a chance to try something from our incredible breakfast menu."

The restaurant is co-owned by Michael Bissanti who said that, with this move, it feels like the pandemic is "finally over."

Bissanti and Penn have also welcomed a new member to the ownership team of Veggie Galaxy, and he should be familiar to local sports fans.

Veggie Galaxy announced that New England Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. has joined the ownership team. Wise has been vegan since 2017 and, apparently, a frequent Veggie Galaxy customer over the last seven years.
