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.
Although it’s hard to choose, my favorite vegan foods tend to include avocado, hummus, quinoa or tahini.
I think my fave vegan food would any kind of nut butter :) yummy!
mmm….mac and cheese all the way!!! :)
I think I may have an unhealthy addiction to sunflower seed butter… ;-)
My favourite vegan food is pumpkin seed butter. Best eaten straight out of the jar with a spoon :-)
Your Berry Bliss Bars! YUM.
Pretty much anything you post…
Right now I’m a fan of your carrot/beet/apple salad. Even my not-so-veggie-interested grandmother loves it! I also love lentil soups in the winter and hummus in the summer. And dark chocolate all year long!
At the food coop here they make these vegan oatmeal cookies that are soooo delicious! Those are my current fav.
SUCH a great gift! My favorite vegan food would have to be discovering cheeze sauces – cashew nut sauces and nutritional yeast! Enjoy your trip!
My favorite vegan food thus far in my journey has definitely been your “perfect” veggie burgers. My carnivorous husband loves them too!
Mmmm looks fabulous!
My favourite vegan food changes all the time, but right now I am really enjoying my vegan chili. Just made a huge batch a couple days ago and I have a ton in my freezer for a quick go to meal!
I don’t know that I could pick one favorite, I’m sick right now so the thing that sounds amazing is soup! Other than that I’ve been dying to try raw chocolate :)
I have brussel sprouts everyday!!
Almond Milk
Cupcakes. I like vegan cupcakes more than non-vegan. They just seem richer! There is a restaurant in Toronto, Fresh, that has some great ones.
Thanks!
I LOVE your vegan quinoa recipes. They are on a constant lunch/dinner rotation at my house!
I honestly haven’t tried that many vegan specific things… I NEED to start testing out your recipes! I kind of just don’t think about it, but I really should for my health! I guess my fave vegan treat is a green monster!
My favourite food… it’s hard to choose since I’m vegan and I love everything without animal products in it but lately I have been loving coconut icecream
I love sesame noodles. They’re a sort of gateway food for me – what first got me thinking that life without cheese might not be so bad after all!
