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. ;)

This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
I really want to make it there some day myself! Looks awesome. I’m bashful with my camera too! I suppose I should start asking permission but most of the time I just start snapping and hope no one notices, ha. And if I’m too shy, thankfully my husband is NOT shy at all and he’ll be my photographer in public places ;)
My favorite vegan food is cashew cheese!
My fiance says “cookies” (he can’t eat dairy). I have to agree with him.
My favorite vegan food is raw banana “ice cream” with vegan chocolate chips, maple syrup and cinnamon!
been on a peanut-kick lately… spicy peanut soba noodles = yum!
My favorite vegan food is kale salad but these treats look yummy too.
I love any vegan dessert, but particularly vegan chocolate chip cookie dough. So delicious!
Kale!
Kale chips are rather delicious!
All the great vegan food I’ve had has been the recipes I pulled from your blog!! :)
I made your Pumpkin Pie Brownies for Thanksgiving. They were scrumptious!
I love Macaroons!
The GREEN MONSTER made with chocolate almond milk. YUMMM!!!
I would have to say that my favorite vegan food is a little self-indulgent dish called “Spaghetti Pie” which I adapted from one of my mother’s dishes she would cook when my brothers and I were growing up. “Spaghetti pie” – which is simply whole wheat organic spaghetti cooked to how you like then mixed with three flax eggs and a bag of Daiya shredded mozzarella “cheese”. Just toss it all together, put in a baking dish, pop it in the oven, and be prepared for a solid yet deliciously gooey pie to emerge! Definitely one of my weaknesses.
Definitely oatmeal! I’ve become quite creative with what I do with mine…. With some help from Oh She Glows of course! My recent favorite combo is: oats with flax, cinnamon, almond butter and a generous pour of almond milk. It’s so warming and filling and delicious and lovely.
i have never tried many vegan foods so i would love to win this and give them a try!
rolled oats with banana, blueberries, peanut butter, almonds, and raisins. sprinkled with love, as well as some cinnamon :)
Hi Angela! Wow, I can only dream of living someplace that has all these awesome vegan restaurants down the street. I think I’ve printed off over 60 of your recipes since I started following your blog a few months ago. AMAZING! I am so excited for your book. My favorite vegan food is vegan brownies with walnuts. Oh my I could eat brownies at every meal of the day (as I gained 400 pounds)
I heart green smoothies!
guacamole!!!! Lol well really anything to do with avocado I loveeeee :)
I would have to say the vegan “meat” pies at my young friend’s bakery, “Cake and Loaf”. They are amazing. We go there at least twice a week and there are always vegan options for us. Thanks so much for this blog. You’ve been the inspiration for my transition back to vegetarian, sliding on up to vegan.
