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. ;)

Yesterday I had an amazing vegan vegetable wrap in SW Ks at a little coffee shop, it was delicious!
My favorite vegan food is probably almond milk. My life has completely changed since I found it. So creamyyyyyy!
Well my overall favorite vegan food is probably avocados or beans but right nor I can’t get enough of your pumpkin chia pudding! I love that stuff!
Your Energizing Broccoli Daal. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks — it just might be my favorite food, period!

Having it for lunch today :)
I would say pretty much any vegan baked good, I recently discovered baking vegan and I can’t believe I haven’t been cooking like this for forever! Personal favorite is your pumpkin brownies, they are a big hit at get togethers :)
I can’t decide between avocado and raw nuts. Both add such creamy delicious flavor to dishes that they are a major reason I don’t miss cheese at all. In fact, I just made your avocado mouse torte and it was delicious. Reminded me a very chocolatey cheesecake.
My favorite vegan food would have to be your vegan chocolate chip cookies! My sisters and I made them using your recipe a few days ago and they were the most amazing cookies ever! My whole family and all my friends are obsessed with your blog now(:
My favorite vegan food: chocolate gelato made with an avocado base.
Hard to pick a favourite but I made the vegan nanaimo bars from your site last week and my carnivore husband and I loved them.
Although with all the mentions of kale chips on here, I might have to try some of those this weekend!
Orange Blackstrap BBQ Seitan! Absolutely delicious!— and my obsession right now! Yum!
Vegan Oreo Cupcakes… amazing!
rice noodles of any type! i love pasta! it sounds lame but it really is my favorite food, i could eat pasta with every meal of my life.
Seriously-you rock!! One fav vegan food? Hmmm….donuts! (yours)
