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.
I know its a simple thing, but my favorite vegan food is vanilla almond milk. I never really liked the flavor of soy milk and the texture of rice milk is just not quite right, but vanilla almond milk is so so perfect! Without it, I don’t know how I’d make favorite daily beverages: spicy chai teas and creamy lattes!
Peanut butter! Love the combo of protein and healthy fat!
I absolutely love their raw falafal salad! And I’m really on a raw buckwheat kick lately so anything involving that :)
“I don’t know about you other bloggers, but I get shy when I take pictures of food…!”
Yup! And my friends and family poke fun at me when I do it. :)
Fav. vegan food…is a wild rice salad with cranberries and walnuts with a curry dressing..so good!
Oooooh my! It would have to be kale chips!! Soooo addictive!
Oh gosh, I would have to say home made almond butter and I also love nutritional yeast!
I love barley! Since I became vegan almost 2 years ago, I love, love barley! I put it in everything! I’m eating it in some split pea soup right now.
My favorite vegan food is dark chocolate! And peanut butter! But I also adore veggie sushi.
…i am at a loss for words…the cinnamon cookies and the macaroons…oh my gosh….
Kale chips!
i love kale and chickpeas. but i will have some good vegan donuts
anyway…favorite vegan food: Avocado Pasta!!! so good AND so simple…can it get any better? i think not.
I LOVE VEGAN CHEESECAKE! :)
I have so many favorites, but my top favorite raw vegan food has to be, hands down, a Green Monster featuring avocado and limes. Yum!
Kale Chips!!! They’re winners in my book
my favourite is banana soft serve “ice cream”
it’s a tie between baked kale chips and raw zucchini pasta!
Well, with your website being as it is, it’s incredibly difficult to pick one vegan entree that is my favorite. However if it was a matter of life or death, I would have to say your portobella pizzas, rice pilaf, and the detox salad. I also very much enjoy the whoopi pies, and chocolate chip cookies. You really just can’t go wrong with any of your recipes. I thank you for giving all of us a chance to eat not only healthy, but deliciously!
YOUR chocolate Peanut butter blizzard. SO SO SO DIVINE. please make that cookbook soon!
