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.
Kale chips all the way – in fact, got some baking in the oven as I type this :)
My favorite vegan food is pretty much anything from Follow Your Heart, or juices/green smoothies from Organic Avenue..or kombucha from Synergy…never had anything from One Lucky Duck Though!
My favorite part of the day is breakfast ;D anything from sweet to very sweet is in my mind the very first second I wake up, but if I have to choose a winner, I would say VOO, because I can eat it right away.
HA it’s funny because I eat a lot of vegan meals completely not on purpose because I LOVE whole foods like fruit and veggies!! I loooooove peanut butter and any nut butter and daaark, dark, DARK chocolate!!! Oh and black coffee. And squash. I really like squash!
Kale cooked in olive oil with lots of garlic, and then a vegan chocolate chip cookie for dessert :)
I can’t live without green monsters!
I love Sweet Tater Black Bean Burgers! My entire family loved them as much as regular burgers!
Its hard to say but I think my absolute favourite thing has to do with anything with nutritional yeat. I love cheese and not being able to eat it because of an inability to digest it has been AMAZING!
These posts are making me want to go to NYC! I’ve been once and ate at Candle 79 – AMAZING! Seitan piccata and cannoli… drool-worthy. I would LOVE to sample treats from One Lucky Duck. I’ve heard great things.
I guess my favorite food is sweet potato – baked, fried, steamed. Any which way. :)
I love vegan roasted vegetable pizza. Yum!!
thanks for holding this delicious giveaway! one of my absolute favorite vegan foods has to be roasted kabocha squash with coconut oil. it is the epitome of comfort food for me!
My favorite vegan food is Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchilada’s that I found at Daily Garnish after reading her guest post on this site : http://www.dailygarnish.com/recipes?recipe_id=6003109.
homemade vegan, gluten-free cornbread with some earth balance and maple syrup smeared on……..yum!
hmm my favorite vegan food … I’d have to say vegan chocolate chip cookies (so much better without butter!) and vegan granola bars. yum!!
Definitely fell in love with green monsters over the last several months . . . and of course the vegan ones are the best! I am really excited to try a gingerbread one for the holiday season!
Spicy vegan chili with portobello mushrooms in the crockpot! With the cold weather here I loooooove cooking up a batch every couple of weeks. :)
tough to choose but my favorite vegan food is a recipe I ate every day for lunch in high school of a toasted almond butter and jam sandwich on cinnamon raisin bread. yum
i guess my favorite vegan food is one that i use the most…almond milk! (i’m lactose intolerant, so i love anything dairy free)
My favorite vegan food is definitely the baked goods! Making them is like one big science experiment in my kitchen… and eating them is even more fun and delicious! My favorite vegan baking experiment yet? Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffin Top Cookies!
I love mangoes! And kale. And korean yams. And broccoli. Oh, and rice, and a lot of it. Good staples. :)
