50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Cambridge

“Giulia was amazing. Fantastic service, incredible food. From cocktails and the semolina cake sfizi which was the perfect small bite to start to the three desserts we shared around the table (affogato, orange blossom panda cottage, strawberry semifreddo) that generated debate over which was the favorite, every bite and every sip was thoroughly enjoyed. I will tryntonget a reservation every time we make it back to Boston!“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.“

“The additional noodle option was very worth it (nearly doubles the amount) and the soup base for the Umami Ramen is delicately seasoned and has a rich taste. Crew was also extremely friendly and helpful, a flawless experience for the price point.“

“tasty! fresh and quick. friendly staff“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“absolutely stunning vegan ramen! Everything I've had from here has been amazing.“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“I love this place and have been going here regularly for almost a decade! Everything is so tasty and it’s a great fun treat for a junk food day. Staff is always friendly and all food can be made vegan. Desserts are tasty too! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-05“

“The food was incredible and everyone was super friendly. I’m glad we stopped in!“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“Great food but lately El Jefe's is taking a hit on bad reviews due to @GrubHub's poor ordering system with algorithm issues which I have brought to their attention, and seems they still haven't fixed since I placed an order months prior. On 3 separate occasions on the same date and time I received my order incorrect. When I compared the order from my GrubHub account against the receipt received from El Jefe's, it was determined I was missing many items from my burrito bowl. I contacted GrubHub in which they kept refunding me, and I also mentioned the issue. I ordered El Jefe's 2 more times and the same error occurred both times. I could see once they mess up the order due to reading it wrong but not 3x. El Jefe's only puts an order together based on the ordering slips they receive from GrubHub, so if something is off with GrubHub's ordering system that is what the restaurant is receiving and thus creating the order from. As much as these food delivery services are ripping off these restaurants, they got a nerve to make the restaurant take accountability for their mess ups and ordering errors. They're already scamming these vendors out of $$$ and continue to affect these companies in a negative manner. Time for these vendors to go back to the old delivery ways and cut the greedy middle man! These good delivery services are a total rip off with their high fees, whacked discounts that don't add up, and lack of customer service.“

“This was a fun dinner. The service was excellent and the food was a positive surprise! I spend a lot of time in Miami so I wasn’t sure what to expect going for Cuban food in Somerville. The food was good and drinks were well executed. The only thing I didn’t like is when we arrived it was not full upstairs on the main floor but they wanted to sit my party alone in the basement. That was weird. We asked to sit upstairs with everyone else and they were able to move us.“

“fast and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend the Hamburger and fries“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal! Pan seared pork bao and mala duck for appetizers. General Tso’s chicken and Grandma’s pork noodles for entrees. Good stuff! Kyle the bartender was awesome. We ate at the bar,“

“Overall ingredients + service + ambiance, I give it 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟 (Hawaii's is a bit better 😆🌺)“

“beautiful patio expansion "Moona Oasis" to accommodate more guests!“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Found this place on Google & Pinterest. So glad we gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was sweet and delicious, we had pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls, hot tea, fried rice and kimchi. It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.“

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“My friends and I came in for dinner on a Tuesday night and had a fantastic experience. First and foremost, our server, Davis, was amazing!

Not only was he super friendly and fun to talk to but he also suggested some things for the table that ended up being the favorite of the evening amongst the group. Truly great food experience made even better by great hospitality from him!

The cocktails were so delicious and well crafted, make sure you try the Northern Lights! There is something on the menu for everyone, whether you want snacks to share or a stunner of a meal. Can't wait to be back and see Davis again!“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“The food here is top notch! And our waiter, Mo, was the best! We live in Palm Springs and we’re here with local friends. When we return to California we’ll be seeking out an Afghan restaurant there as the flavors are SO good! Thanks again, Mo, and the entire staff!“

“Best food I’ve had from start to finish! We ordered several dishes to share (based on our waiter’s recommendations) and they all had unique flavors spiced to perfection. They were the kind of bespoke dishes that you know you could never replicate. Our fave was the Fluke. Even the mocktails were amazing! I can’t wait to go back!!“

“Great service, kind staff, good food - we enjoy coming to a cava when in the area. Bathroom and sitting area could have used some much needed maintenance.
Might be best for walking, Lyft, or bike - as parking on a Sunday can get difficult to find.“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“Amazing Staff, amazing food !!! If You’re in Harvard Sq. don’t miss out!“

“fish amazing but also blown away by vegetable roll!“

“My husband and I had the cornbread, raspberry currant muffin, cold brew flight, carnitas taco, elote taco, and avocado tostado. All of it was amazing and affordable!!“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“This spot has the best duck I think I've ever had. Served warm and plentiful. It has flavor and texture that is unparalleled. Keep in mind I didn't grow up in the Chinese culture, but I did marry into it and I've had my fair share of duck. This place is phenomenal. I kind of don't want you to know about it, but I feel like I owe it to them to keep it 100.“

“best froyo at the harvard community!“

“super amables yo les doy un 100“

“My husband (who is vegan) and I were in the Boston/Cambridge area for work and selected Base Crave for our first meal out. We met two people from his job and noticed that the place was empty except for us and the staff. That worried me, but after eating, my only thought was “people need to eat here! They don’t know what they’re missing!” The 4 of us ordered vegetarian mo mo (omg - yum!), vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala (I didn’t try it but was told it was good), Tofu Mushroom stir-fry chilies mild which was okay, probably because we got it mild, Plantain curry (my hubby says fabulous!), plain naan (very good), and the Mushroom Stir-fry Noodles, mild. My husband and I agreed that the best things on the table were the Mo mo and the stir-fry noodles, both had fabulous flavor! We definitely recommend this place and would love to eat there again!“

“Some places just surprise you… in the best way.

Tucked away in Cambridge, this one felt warm, inviting, and effortlessly comforting. The kind of spot where you sit a little longer, order a little more, and don’t regret any of it.

We tried Simply Surprise, Sakoo Sai Gai, Kuay Teow Lui Suan, Chicken on Fire 🔥 and Set Nam Prik… and every plate brought something special to the table.

Flavors that feel bold yet comforting, familiar yet exciting… all at once.

This is one of those places you save… and keep coming back to 💛“

“Such good food for a great price! The drunken crazy noodles and duck noodle soup were so so so good, absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and the interior was calm and simply decorated. We visited early on a weeknight but almost didn’t get a table since we didn’t have a reservation, so plan ahead!“

“Burger is the best for me 😘“

“Great place to stop and try Sicilian Pizza.“

“Fresh food and friendly staff“

“tasty! fresh and quick. friendly staff“

“A block away from Central Sq, Cicada is one of our favorite for a cosy dinner.

We went there for the second time on a Friday night and had the chicken sticky rice, the salmon avocado tartare as well as the seared salmon rice together with a glass of sparkling wine. The food is inventive and flavorful with appropriate prices for the quality, although not cheap.

The perfect place for a date night in Cambridge!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend.“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“We love bagelsaurus! You certainly have the market for bagels in this area. Others just don’t compare. Best bagel sandwiches. Please bring back online preordering for sandwiches on weekends. Online ordering was time efficient for everyone and child friendly in a location that is generally very child unfriendly.“
