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. ;)

I went to NY when I was 19 years ago and really for some reason wasn’t that impressed. However now looking at your blog I feel like I have to give it another chance. You put Chicago on the map of veggie goodness to be had…now I’m adding NYC. Thanks for bloggn’
Sweet Amanda’s Sweet Potato Casserole! I invented and made this deliciousness for Thanksgiving and no one knew it was vegan!
Those treats sound amazing!
Give me anything vegan and I’ll devour it, especially if it is your brownie pumpkin pie with that amazing pecan topping. Love it!!
My favorite would probably be hummus. I could eat it ever day!
Wow so exciting. I never heard of one lucky duck. The snacks sound totally amazing though. I don’t know if I have one favorite vegan food, but Amy’s Mac & Cheese w/daiya cheese is one I love. I also love Kale Chips with nutritional yeast. Even my carnivore hubby loves those.
Favorite vegan food: Pattycake Bakery’s vegan sticky buns in Columbus OH! Thank goodness they only make them on Saturday mornings or I’d be broke :)
