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. ;)

Leave a comment below telling me one of your favourite vegan foods and I’ll pick One Lucky Duck on Tuesday! Goodluck. :)
This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
My favourite vegan food would have to be kale salads. I eat a giant one every day!
Quinoa salads! :)
My favorite vegan foods are vegetables. Brussell sprouts..green peppers…sweet potatoes..I love them all!
oatmeal!!! :)
Kale chips, green smoothies and anything with chocolate.
I love vegan baked goods, but my favorite foods (chips/salsa, veggies/hummus) are vegan by default ;)
I love the oatmeal raisin cookie recipe in Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway, OSG :)
Hmmm vegan chocolate chip cookie dough…throw that in banana soft serve and now we’re talking :)
My favorite vegan food would have to be oats.. such a perfect breakfast for cold mornings!
I’ve just recently begun eating a mostly vegan diet so I don’t have many dishes I can recommend. So aside from my green smoothies every morning (which I have to say is probably my very favorite vegan food), I like the simplicity of what I eat along with it…a bowl of steel-cut oats soaked in almond milk overnight. So yummy!
I would be honoured to win! My fav vegan food is: applesauce!
raw macaroons are possibly the best tasting dessert (or snack) whether you’re vegan or not!
My favorite vegan food is definitely raw cookies/desserts makes with coconut oil! Yummm I can’t get enough :)
My favorite vegan food is vegan sweet potato black bean enchiladas with “cheeze” sauce!
Kale, quinoa, green smoothies and anything with chocolate.
Avocado chocolate pudding!mmmm…
my favorite vegan food is probably hummus! i also really like dandie’s marshmallows….
It’s pretty cold where I live, so I’ve been really into soups of all varieties. Tomato-carrot-lentil is my current favorite, but that will probably change next week.
any kind of vegan cookie!
My favourite vegan food would definately have to be anything with beans! :) ESPECIALLY roasted red pepper hummus with baby carrots, it’s like a party in my mouth!
