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. ;)

My current favorite vegan food is your butternut squash mac and cheese! So Good!
I’m not a vegan, but I do like to eat as little animal product as is reasonable for my lifestyle, and I eat all kinds of vegan meals such as oatmeal with pb and almond milk for breakfast. If I had to choose, my favorite vegan food would have to be almond milk! I’m lactose intolerant, and I find that the original variety of Blue Diamond almond milk tastes the closest to milk to my tastebuds. It’s a staple for me!
Overnight oats are still my favorite! I’ll never get bored of them because you can make up so many variations. I just love waking up and have this nice healthy treat waiting for me.. yumyumyum!!
my favorite vegan food is cupcakes! i love them in general and no one can ever tell that the ones i make are vegan!

My favorite vegan food is definitely green smoothies!
