Veggie Planet

I wouldn't have known this brownie was vegan if the chalkboard sign didn't proudly proclaim it as such. Fudgey, rich, topped with walnut halves, and drizzled with chocolate, PLUS I haven't oppressed cows? No wayyyy. I also adore Veggie Planet's pizza to tiny, vegan-friendly bits. Try their vegan peanut curry, lunch for henry, or portobello redhead pizzas for spiritually satisfying treat. more

I am vegan, and I am so thankful for veggie planet! Hot hippie waiters, vegan food that is actually tolerable (the vegan oddlot is breathtaking...), and good music! The vegan brownies are by no means healthy, but are a nice treat now and then. The only issue I have is that sometimes you'll be eating them and you'll get a big bite of unmixed baking soda. Other than that, I have no complaints. Pros: addicting brownies, cheap lunch Cons: not always prepared well more

The food here only pretends to be healthful. It's overloaded with refined carbohydrates (pizzas with huge white flour crusts, white rice, sugary desserts, sweetened drinks) and low in protein and fiber. While every pizza does have small amounts of veggies and protein, they are minuscule compared to the size of the crust. Mostly you are served a big pile o' starch. The only truly healthful thing on the menu is the Caesar salad, which is delicious but doesn't really conform to any known definition of Caesar salad, containing, as it does, tomatoes, olives, broccoli, and tofu. I don't know why they don't call it a tossed salad. This is too bad, because Veggie Planet has so many wonderful principles: buy local, eat organic, etc. Going to a show at Club Passim? Eat beforehand. If you have to eat there, get the salad or order your food on brown rice. Pros: music, inexpensive, oragnic Cons: carb fest, low protein, not real health food more

I really enjoy going here. I am a vegetarian and the food is some of the best for us veggies in the square. The staff is friendly and if you call your order in it will be ready for you when you get there. The only problem is it can get very busy. I do like the atmosphere though and I always meet nice people who will chat with me while I wait, which is more than I can say for most of Boston! Pros: Delicious food, Friendly people, Great lemonade Cons: slow around dinner more

The food is great, and the atmosphere is fun, but the waitstaff are few and overworked. Block out plenty of time for dinner (at least 2 hours), have a snack beforehand, and sharpen your conversation skills. Ironically, makes a good date restaurant for precisely this reason. Pros: Food, Price, Location Cons: Noise, Seating, Wait more

Health Food has NEVER been easier to find and fantastic entertainment is never to too far away. Prices are fair, food and service are excellent values. I was just layed off along with 9,999 others and Cambridge is no longer my work location. I live in south Plymouth and would love to open a Veggie Planet here. I only wish Veggie Planet provided a breakfast menu! Pros: price, value, service Cons: parking, no breakfast more

What a treat! I found this place on citysearch and thought I'd give it a try. The pizza was delicious! I am a customer for life! Pros: GREAT PIZZA, vegitarian selections more

If you are a pizza lover, you really have to stop in and try any of the varieties of pizzas to choose. This vegitarian delight is one of a kind. It is a little difficult to find...but once you find it...it will stay with you forever. (Harvard Square across from the Border Cafe...look for the Club Passim sign and head down the stairs!). Pros: unique, vegitarians dream! more

This is an unusual little place located inside Club Passim, but Chef Didi Emmons turns out some of the most unusual and creative gourmet pizzas I have ever seen- A definite must try next time you are in Harvard Square! Pros: Vegetarian Delights, Good Value Cons: No Seating at Night more
