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. ;)

I love vegan desserts made from bananas! Frozen bananas for ice cream, or dried bananas with dried medjool dates blended and rolled in cocoa powder and cinnamon for vegan dates.
Your butternut squash and curry stew is my absolute fave!
I love kale chips!
Your mushroom kale phyllo roll. It’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever tasted!
Your chocolate almond macaroon cookies and brownie pumpkin pecan pie :) YUM!
your avacado pasta sauce….we make it weekly!!
My favorite vegan food – hands down, is fresh, homemade salsa and guacamole….YUM!
That is hard…I have discovered so many over the last 2 years. Kaia kale chips are my favorite right now…I wish I could figure out how to make their cheesey kale chips because i can scarf down a $7 bag in about 5 seconds :)
I HAVE TO SAY RIGHT KNOW I AM ENJOYING A WHEAT GRASS SMOOTHIE WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE VEGAN ..BUT I ENJOY VEGAN GINGERBREAD
green smoothies!!
My favourite vegan food is basically any recipe for your VOO aka vegan overnight oats! Also love a vegan cherry chocolate bomb smoothie!
My whole family loved your buttery apple streusel squares!! :) and I am loving salads with roasted golden beets, avocado & walnuts!
Kale chips are my favorite vegan food!
My favorite vegan dish (today, it changes so often) was a seitan based vegan chic*en parm with banana peppers that I got from a tiny “general store” in Bushwick! I love how small stores are really starting to offer vegan options! Rarely will you go to a small shop in a non-trendy area that offers vegan options besides peanut butter and jelly.
My favorite vegan food is ANYTHING with butternut squash in it lol it literally doesn’t matter what it is, it could just be roasted cubed squash but if it’s got that ingredient, i’m trying and loving it. love autumn squashes :)
Hummus has been my favorite since I can remember eating!!
I have so many favourites, but my favourite right now, the one that is sustaining me through studying for exams (Micronutrients, phytochemicals, & Health and Research Methods) is Smoky Chipotle Black Bean Hummus that I can whip up in 10 minutes and have with some of our local heritage carrots :)
Your Vegan Chocolate Cuppies!
My favorite vegan snack are kale chips, especially the nut-less varieties. I still haven’t mastered my own recipe, but I’m workin’ on it!
I LOVE BAKING VEGAN DESSERTS (it’s like therapy). I am also a SMOOTHIEHOLIC :)
