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 favorite vegan foods are ones that are not trying to be fake or imitations of dairy or meat. I love a good hearty stew and some hot crusty bread. Yum!
Chili (of course, vegetarian/vegan)! I just dump a bunch of tasty things into my slow cooker and voila! Perfection :)
favorite vegan food….raw chocolate or raw fudge!
This is a hard one! I have a loooong list of vegan food I love :P. I do love sour cream & onion kale chips :).
And vegan overnight oats. Yummm.
kale chips!
Potatoes. In any way shape or form. They can do anything!
my favourite vegan food has to be zucchini brownie cake!
Favorite? Your cranberry orange dressing. I truly make salads just to use it again and again.
Hmm, I think my favorite vegan food is your roasted tomato almond pesto. So GOOD!
Your chocolate chip cookies. The best.
I LOVE your vegan butternut squash macaroni and ‘cheese’!
favorite vegan food: Almond butter!!! I love it and mix it in EVERYWHERE. ♥ I just wish it wasnt as hard to get here where I live in Austria :( bohooo
Lately, my favorite food is so simple. I love stove-cooked oats with almond butter and sliced bananas. Pure comfort, any time of day.
I was new to vegan recipes before I read your blog. I’d have to say my favorite recipe so far is your original vegan Mac and Cheese! It was the recipe that introduced me to the cheesy goodness that is nutrional yeast! My bf loves when I make it :)
right now i am loving seaweed brown rice cakes. yum!
Your sweet potato pear soup.
My favorite vegan food is from Native Foods (restaurant chain) — their Oklahoma “Bacon Cheeseburger” is just insane. I’m obsessed!
As for non-restaurant vegan food, I love seitan. It’s so versatile.
A vegan favorite in this house is beans…lentils, black beans, pinto…we love beans!
Warm tofu/squash/pepper/onion/kale/tomato sandwiches !
Chocolate Almond Milk :) Thank-you so much for the detailed New York Trip blogging, I am living through you! NYC is simply the most amazing place (especially for vegans :))
