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.
Favorite foods…probably green juice. It’s sweet and hydrating plus it alleviates most of my stomach issues and gives me a calmer feeling.
Mmmmm…. right now, Dark Chocolate Almond milk by Silk. Yum.
The ‘anyone, anywhere in the world’ line sent a shiver of excitement down my spine :D (Normally I figure Australia is too far / too hard.) This cafe is absolutely amazing and I am very glad you did snap some photos, because it allowed me to live vicariously and let my imagination run wild!
Regarding my favourite vegan foods…I think chocolate avocado mousse / pudding has to win. I’m still amazed by how great it is, especially as technically I don’t like avocado. Clearly I’d just never had it prepared the right way before ;)
Pasta with a cashew ‘cream’ sauce! Yummmm…. now I’m hungry!
My favorite vegan food is hummus. Although many of these treats look delicious too. :)
Favorite vegan food is vegan chocolate, of course!
favorite vegan food: beans! any kind! prepared [almost] any way! mmmm, i love ’em.
Definitely kale chips…. mmmm!
It’s a toss up. Either mac n yease or your creamy avocado pasta.
I make your itty-bitty carrot cake cookies ALL the time…love them!!
So hard to choose but it may just be vegan ice cream. :)
I love your vegan carrot cake scuffins!
My favorite vegan food is probably tahini dressed salads– I love eating creamy, garlic-y salads, and tahini-based dressings totally hit the spot! Followed by some raw almond butter fudge. :D
You are having entirely too much fun…..keep it up:)
i love kale chips!
Vanilla almond granola in vanilla hemp milk with fresh strawberries.
Green monsters are my favourite vegan food. I never thought I would love the taste of kale so much!
I love lentil burritos!
Vegan chocolate mousse from Whole Foods – to die for! :)
My favorite vegan food would have to be kale chips or almond butter. I hope you had a wonderful trip to NYC!
