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. ;)

Vegan Chili on a nice winter day!!
My husband and my favorite…too hard. We love bean balls and spicy tomato sauce, butternut squash mac and cheese, and banana ice cream with extra pb….
our list could go on…and on.
Vegan red velvet cupcakes and Muesli – Raw morning cereal with almond milk.
Oh my gosh, I’ve heard sooo many amazing things about One Lucky Duck, and since I haven’t yet had the chance to travel to NYC, this giveaway is super exciting!
Picking one favourite vegan food is sooo hard… I love sweet potatoes, chocolate chip cookies, hummus, oatmeal, spinach… so much!
My favourite vegan dish would have to be your pumpkin cheeze sauce on Macaroni. I’m lactose intolerant and that recipe is better than the original, as far as I’m concerned.
Since finding your blog, I’ve eaten better than I ever have in my life.
Thanks very much!
I really love your creamy avacado pasta! It even pleases the pallates of my picky kids and husband! Thanks for such a great blog!
Peanut Butter Banana soft serve!
The best Vegan thing I ever made was a vegan German Chocolate Cake!! It was sooooo good. My sister had purchased a traditional version from a great little bakery just in case mine sucked, however, my cake was gone at the end of the night and hers was barely touched! Score!!
My favourite vegan food is a snack bar by Nakd. Their raw cocoa bars are just delicious :)
Homemade banana chips and apple chips in the dehydrator!
My favorite vegan food has got to be chocolate avocado pudding!
It’s so hard to choose. There’s smoothies, there’s delicious vegan cupcakes, but I think one of my all time favorites has to be vegan enchiladas verde with or without fake cheese.
Haha your comments section is exploding today! My favorite vegan food is your mushroom/barley risotto. Yumm!
I love a good raw kale salad. Raw kale Marinated with salt, lemon and avocado..
My favorite vegan food…I guess its broccoli:).
Hurray! My favorite vegan food is vegan pizza with Daiya. Aww yeah.
My favorite is hummus…change the bean, the spicing, add fruit (mango, avocado) or veg (pumpkin, butternut squash) and you have all kinds of delicious variations
My favorite vegan dish must be your lentil loaf.. The perfect substitute for meat at a party and everyone loves it! :))
