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. ;)

Kale chips and nut butter. Yum :)
my favorite vegan food is banana soft-serve, mmm can never get enough even in New England winter :)
Pick me, pick me!
Nakd Bars! :)
Sweet potato fries, yum!
Do I have to pick just one? I love many vegan food items, but my favorite vegan ingredient has got to be coconut oil. I found an Earth Balance coconut oil spread at WF that I have been loving on toast and muffins.
Probably my vegan lasagna bolognese. It’s a bit time intensive but so worth it!
I love kale chips with garlic and hot chill pepper.
I love anything loaded with spice! Today I made pumpkin soup with curry and almond milk with a side of garlic kale chips….so yummy! The best part is I grew the kale, the pumpkin, and the garlic!
kale chips!
I am so very new to the vegan way but at this point I would have to say pumpkin soup! Yummmilious!
Hey Angela! These look amazing!
My favorite vegan food would have to be your butternut squash mac n cheese. So delicious!
I love green smoothies! Yummy!!!
Dorky answer: roasted brussels sprouts and baked sweet potatoes!
I love Chia Goodness (a mix of chia seeds, buckwheat, and some other fun stuff). It’s really good stirred into yogurt, or with almond milk.
Green smoothies, and your chocolate overnight oats + banana soft serve. YUM!!
My mom’s vegan chili!
I love pizza! Tons of veggies, no cheese. And vegan cookies. Oh let’s face it, if it’s vegan- I probably love it!
Hummus and Avocado are staples in my diet…I miss One Lucky Duck SOOOO much now that I live in Cali…the S&M salad is AMAZING!!!
That’s such a great giveaway!
My favourite vegan food – though it’s hard to choose – would be kabocha squash. It’s awesome how creamy it tastes with hints of sugary sweetness.
