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. ;)

Lately, my favorite vegan indulgences are homemade Larabars! SO many possibilities, and so fun/easy to make!
Thanks, Angela!
My favorite vegan & raw meal is guacamole! So yummy! ;)
I have to admit that selecting vegan options is new to me…however very exciting and I am always eager to try more! I have found a Dill, Lemon, Quinoa Salad that incorporates fresh dill, chopped green onion, roasted hempseeds, coated in olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkled with nutritional yeast flakes…mmm :)
Although a close second would have to be a whole wheat pizza dough that I love to make into all sorts of home made pizza for entertaining!!
I can honestly say salads are my favorite food to make vegan. They’re so refreshing and versatile!
Favorite vegan food has to be just a straight up sweet potato…roasted alone in the oven. Best tasting thing out there, no chemicals, no crazy ingredients, just mother nature’s sweetness!
my favorite vegan dessert is inspired by YOU and is the pumpkin gingerbread with spiced buttercream frosting~ the first time I made it I had never tried earth balance butter, blackstrap molasses, OR chia seeds. They are now rightfully in my pantry and being used! Thank you!!
I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian, but I LOVE vegan baked goods, especially brownies. mmmm!!!
Almond Milk!
Favorite vegan food and pretty much favorite food generally: pomegranates :).
Thanks Angela!
I’m not a vegan, but one of my favourite vegan foods would have to be almond milk!
