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. ;)

Hi Angela,
Those goodies look amazing! My favourite vegan food of all time is your Garlic Pumpkin Knots! They are a hit for the holidays and my husband begs me to make them all the time. Thanks for the great vegan recipe.
I am dying to try the macaroons!!
I love spaghetti squash mixed w/ sauteed mushrooms, peppers, onions, spinach and some marianara sauce!
Wow, this is so cool.
My favorite vegan foods are dates. I love their sweetness, their caramel flavour and their sticky texture. And I love to use them for all kind of recipes (date/nut balls, marzipan, brownies) and as a sweetener for smoothies or even for tea (as dateorade).
My favorite vegan food is your creamy avocado dressing over top some spagetti squash!!!
I love love love anything with pumpkin- especially your pumpkin gingerbread. Besides that- I could eat stir fry with soyaki (from trader joes) any day of my life.
If I don’t win this- I may have to go check this out- its just a hop and a skip away!
