I had my first One Lucky Duck experience in NYC after hearing so many good things about it over the past few years. One Lucky Duck was founded in 2005 by Sarma Melngailis, the co-creator of the Manhattan raw food restaurant, Pure Food and Wine. Sarma started One Lucky Duck to help bring the raw, vegan and organic lifestyle out of the underground and into the mainstream.
At One Lucky Duck, you can find all kinds of amazing raw vegan snacks from raw macaroons to chocolate chip cookies, handmade in small batches in the kitchen at NYC’s raw vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine.
We visited the Chelsea Market location and I was so excited to step inside this cafe!
We did all kinds of NYC sightseeing on this day of our travels, so the market was a nice change of pace after rushing around all day.
I bashfully asked the server if I could snap a picture or two. I don’t know about you other bloggers, but I get shy when I take pictures of food…!
It’s a really cute & cozy cafe. All of their products are on the wall including a fridge for fresh juices and whatnot. I got myself a few goodies (macaroons, raw chocolate, and buckwheat crispies) and a shot of wheatgrass for good measure.
It was hard to choose! I’ve somehow managed to open everything over the past few days and everything tastes incredible. I especially fell in love with the buckwheat cinnamon crispies (below). Maybe I can make these at home too? It’s on my list. ;)

Leave a comment below telling me one of your favourite vegan foods and I’ll pick One Lucky Duck on Tuesday! Goodluck. :)
This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Favorite vegan food: definitely anything Indian. I love Dal Maharani in particular. :)
Very hard to choose but I’d have to say anything with nutritonal yeast AND/OR your double chocolate torte!
Hu, that’s difficult. But the food that I fell most in love with after going vegan is cashew sauce in all possible variations :)
It would have to be my favorite salad at Whole Foods in Boulder, Colorado. It’s called Superfood Salad and its a combination of fresh kale, grape tomatoes, red onion, raw sunflower seeds, raw cashews, blueberries, and edamame, in a acai berry dressing. I add red peppadew peppers that give a little bit of acidity and kick, as well as gluten free onion crisps from a local Boulder company called Gluten Free Girls. I could eat this for every meal until I die and not get sick of it!!!!! So so good.
By far the Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal….has become a staple of my mornings! So delicouse, thank you for the recipe!
My fave vegan food is the OhSheGlows chia pudding! Both the original and pumpkin varieties :P
kale chips sprinkled with nutritional yeast and dipped in ketchup. YUM!
um hello, THEIR MACAROONS!
Veggie maki rolls!
My favourite vegan food is definitely your vegan burgers. I’ve served these to all of my meat eating friends and they have thought they’re even better than normal burgers!
Almond milk, simple but a staple in my everyday eating/cooking :)
Favourite vegan packaged food? Have you tried Nud snacks? The green energy one is divine.
Vegan Chocolate cupcakes
I love kale chips!
My favorite vegan food is vegan Mac and Cheese! And green smoothies!
AWESOME giveaway!!! My vegan favs currently are nud fud snack crackers and giddy yoyo chocolate bars!
My favorite vegan food would be butternut squash soup! Mmmm.
My favorite vegan food is your Ultimate Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookie!! SO good. This giveaway is awesome! I would love to incorporate more delicious vegan foods into my diet :)
i’ve always wanted to try their stuff – this would be a great giveaway to win!
my favorite vegan food? pumpkin!!!
That’s a hard question! I have a huge sweet tooth, so I’ll have to say a perfect vegan chocolate chip cookie. That’s *one* of my favorites. I’ve heard so much about One Lucky Duck, but never tried anything from them!
homemade raw green chile zucchini hummus =)
my favorite vegan food has to be the sloppy joe at Karyn’s in chicago. it is SO good i actually crave it on a regular basis (which sucks since i love in colorado).
at home i like making larabar type bars…whole foods sells some vegan, raw macaroons too that are awesome!!!
My favorite food since becoming vegan is kale, any and all kale! I never had it prior and now I get anxiety if I don’t have kale in my fridge at all times :)
My fave is any form of breaded eggplant. Yum
Where to start!? Kale salad, quinoa burritos, chickpea noodle soup, vegan Mac and cheese. Oh, and chocolate cupcakes!
I am a new vegan (barely six months old!) and I have to say anything remotely cheesy makes me the happiest girl in the world! Vegan macaroons sound pretty good too!
