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.
Coconut chocolate mana = yummy.
I tried a vegan carrot cake at a restaurant in NYC — couldn’t believe it didn’t have eggs or dairy and I liked it so much I went there for my birthday cake! :)
Someone else said almond milk and I’d have to agree. Since dairy and soy bother my tummy sometimes, almond milk allows me to enjoy cereal again!
Also, I had some tostadas at The Vegetarian Food Festival this past September (by El Cilantro) and they were so fresh it was unreal.
What a sensational giveaway Angela! Thank you!
My favourite vegan food is actually raw too and it’s my homemade green juice with limes, cayenne and a little stevia. It’s my favourite way to supercharge my day – yum!!
Enjoy picking a winner :)
Is it weird one of my favorite vegan foods is sour cream?? I think it’s so amazing to see the things that they can make into “sour cream”. A good vegan sour cream on some bean chili nachos – amazing!!
Hands down Uncle Eddie’s Vegan Chocolate Cookies (I have a sweet tooth!)
Almond butter and raspberry jam sandwiches are delicious!
Chickpeas and VOO w/pb and chocolate!
Definitely hummus. I love your blog and recipes!
Spinach and hummus wraps are amazing and glorious things!
My favourite vegan food is vegan gluten free peanut butter pillows! YUM! I would love to win this!
Hmmm. My favorite vegan food is probably overnight oats, although I love your pumpkin brownies.
A new week old vegan here! And might I add, loving it! Made the switch to this lifestyle after encouragement from a friend for health reasons. Stumbled upon your blog and absolutely think it’s adorable and informative! Here’s hoping to win the goodies to be able to sample some more vegan goodness. Happyweekend!:-)
I love kale salad…and an autumn minestrone I make almost weekly. I’m new to vegan recipes, but love trying yours out!
WOW…intense and awesome giveaway!

Favorite vegan food–all vegetables or nut butters. favorite vegan sweet-Nana’s Cookies!
You’re hummus recipe, all the way. So simple and delicious.
Hmmmm…I’ve got to go with any breakfast foods – oats with berries, tempeh bacon, and tofu scramble. Yum!
I LOVE almond milk. I am not vegan, but ever since I discovered it, the idea of regular milk kind of turns my stomach. It is so delicious and creamy.
Nutritional yeast for savoury or luna and larry coconut bliss for sweet!
