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. ;)

Right now I’m loving dates stuffed with pecans..a great pre-workout snack or perfect dessert!
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks Angela. I recently tried Daiya and it has to be one of my favorite vegan specific foods.
There aren’t many vegan foods I don’t like, but chocolate is my favorite, with sea salt, please!
I’ve been vegetarian for 25 years, but vegan for only one! My favorite vegan food is definitely nutritional yeast. Versatile and tasty!
My favourite vegan food would probably have to be unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze. It’s so versatile and I have it every morning in a huge smoothie with banana and spinach!! :)
Your recipe for vegan butternut squash mac n’ cheese!
The baker that will be making our wedding cake [in Charlottesville, VA] makes the best vegan oatmeal cookies I have EVER tasted. He uses applesauce instead of butter, and enough raisins and cinnamon to feed an army. They’re chewy, chunky, and my go-to dessert. At just around 50 cents, it’s not a splurge, money-wise OR health-wise. LOVE them!
My favourite vegan food: the pumpkin pie smoothie with chia seeds…maybe make a vegan out of me yet!
I love my green juice!!
yumm!! My favorite vegan food is vegan dark chocolate! :P
Hummus!
I’ll probably never win, but always try!
It’s so hard to pick just one vegan food! I love Soyatoo Rice Whipped Cream, Earth Balance, Sunshine Burgers, Imagine Soups (like Corn Lemongrass), Amy’s Soups (the Indian ones!), Brown Rice Tortillas. Basically everything I eat! ;)
Avocado!!!
great giveaway! i had no idea they also opened shop in chelsea market. fabulous! my favorite vegan foods are simple fruits and veggies, especially kale. but if we’re talking “processed” raw brownies of course!
Kale chips, hands down. Or maybe some vegan hot cocoa. :)
Oatmeal is definitely my favorite vegan food. I swear I could eat oatmeal every single day!
My favourite vegan food would have to be black bean burgers!!
Kale chips! I’m beyond obsessed with how amazing something so good for you can taste :)
I’ve really wanted to try their food. The macaroons sounds awesome!
My favorite vegan food right now is your black bean and butternut squash burrito recipe. I sub chickpeas for black beans and add mama pea’s mmm sauce on top. Oh. Dear. Lord. Amazing.
