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 love vegan chococlate cake, esp when it’s gooey!
I love my green monster- everyone else thinks it looks gross (and it does!) but I LOVE it.
I’m in love with nut butter (cashew butter, almond butter) and am learning more about transitioning to vegan fare. Would love to try other samples of vegan fare and introduce my fiance more to these yummies. Looks like you had a great time!
There are too many to choose! I’m defintiely on a big kale chip kick right now.. especially the kind with nutritional yeast!
Cashew Cheese!! To fit my cheesey personality!!
Chocolate of course!
Your trip sounds so amazing…
it’s simple. Avocado. No fuss, no pretty “VEGAN” Packaging…just smooth creamy avocado. Great on pasta, a staple in my veggie sandwiches and avocado salsa is always my go to app to share with friends! :)
My favorite vegan foods are Hummus, Avocado and One Lucky Duck’s Blue Sunset Smoothie!
My favorite is your pumpkin vegan overnight oats! I can’t get enough.
This is so sweet of you!
One of my favorite vegan foods is definitely nutritional yeast! I LOVE the stuff!! Mmmmm…
I get shy taking pictures, too, so no worries..
I use almond milk almost every day, so that’s probably my favorite. I love it!
One of my favorite vegan foods are the vegan pumpkin muffins I make! Yum!
Vegan gnocchi with spinach-parsley pesto!!! Simply delicious!
I can’t decide! Vegan Overnight Oats or Post Punk Kitchen’s Vegan Mushroom Gravy. Both are delicious and easy to make.
Oh, and your raw cookie dough balls. I’ve become addicted to them…and so has my husband!! ;)
My sister makes the most delicious vegan brownies!
Nut butter!
ooooh! so many things!… but mainly dips and spreads, i.e.: guac, hummus, coconut butter, naturally nutty pepita sun seed butter (oh my goshhhh!)
now i’m hungry! and crossing my fingers already… quack quack quack!!
Favorite vegan food would have to be… homemade lasagna w/ cashew cheese topping and tofu ricotta. I rarely ever make it because it takes some time but it’s definitely my favorite :)
My favorite vegan food is homemade hummus. It’s so versatile, my non-vegan friends/family love it, and you can make it with so many different combinations. Plus it’s filling and satisfying.
Oh this giveaway is awesome! I’ve been wanting to try their products for a looonnnnggg time. My favorite vegan food is chocolate chip cookie dough… you can eat it unbaked :)
