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. ;)

Its really hard to choose a favorite food! I guess I would have to say either kale salad or popcorn with nooch on top :) Those treats look delicious!
My favorite vegan food is scrambled tofu. It is so versatile…you can make burritos, sandwiches, and so much more with this dish!! :D
Love kale chips and hummus. Ummm new favorite that delicious pumpkin gingerbread of yours that I made for Thanksgiving. Soooo good!

Right now, I’m loving homemade vegetable soups, especially tomato!
Favorite vegan food?….Vegan cookies!
Roasted red pepper hummus ……. And chocolate chip cookies, I couldn’t pick just one!
I love foods that are naturally vegan without me having to work for it or convince anyone to try it! Fruits and veggies all the way!! ; )
I love the vegan turkey salad they have at Whole Foods. I’ve tried making it myself but I can never get the flavors quite right. Its tasty as a sandwich and on its own/with crackers. Soo good!
Great giveaway! I have 2 favorites: 1) Kale Chips 2) Indian Saagwala (spinach puree with veggies)
Wow! I’ve been dying to go there! Looks wonderful.
Hmmm…my favorite is hard to narrow down to one thing – celery root soup OR pesto (without the Parmesan cheese of course!!).
I love banana soft serve! Better then ice cream.
My favorite vegan food..oooh that’s too hard! Well vegan chocolate cookies could be pretty high up there.
Love the one lucky duck macaroons but have yet to try any of the other delicious treats!

Your buttery apple struesle bars!!!!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!
My favorite vegan food is curried tofu with peppers and onions over mashed potatoes. YUM GREAT FOOD FOR THE SOUL FOR THE WINTERY DAYS TO COME.
Pumpkin smoothie, hands down!! Pumpkin spices are literally my favorite and the next time I have chia seeds, I’m making your pumpkin VOO combo. Can’t wait! Apples and cauliflower are tied for a close 2nd though. :)
So many things…casseroles like your Pumpkin Maple Baked Bean and Mama Pea’s Tamale Pie, Chickpea Tacos (also P&TY), anything with nutritional yeast like your cheeze sauce, Tempeh Reubens, vegan beer brats and italian sausage, vegan cinnamon rolls…okay maybe I just like all vegan food…
