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. ;)

Mmm raw vegan cheesecake is THE best!!
Its hard to pick one, I love raw cherry,chocolate brownies and pear, parsley smoothies!

Vegan Overnight Oats! My name is Chelsea, just like the market! Meant to be
thanks angela!
my favorite vegan food is actually vegan mac n cheese… except i like to use quinoa instead of noodles :)
Well, I live for kale chips (olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, nutritional yeast) and baked slowly. But I love SO many of your recipes, and every single recipe I’ve made from your site has been fabulous (thank you!) … my current favorite is a very recent one: those quickie protein granola bars with the thin layer of chocolate on top. quick and delish!!

I love my homemade tomato sauce, just tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil & salt! Good to hear the cinnamon crispies are good. I ordered a bag a few days ago; can’t wait for them to arrive!
Kale chips. I am addicted… :)
Definitely pumpkin pie vegan overnight oats! Dessert for breakfast!! :))
This summer, I fell in love with your green goddess salad. it’s probably my favorite vegan foods at the moment!
i have to go with peanut butter and bananas. so simple and so satisfying!
I love a nice big kale salad with tons of veggies and beans! So refreshing!
My absolute fav vegan thing in the world to eat is the Not Nanaimo Bars from Green cuisine in Victoria. I dont get to enjoy them as often as I would like to but everytime I visit Victoria I have a few. Perhaps I should actually make them since I have their recipe book …but I wonder if they would taste the same or not?????
Guacamole, without a doubt. Yum!
A big green salad with guacamole dressing:)
I think I might eat too much because this is much too hard to decide…but I’m going to go with a half-baked vegan chocolate chip cookie. The best! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in New Jersey right on the river so I went one to lucky duck and had the lemon cake which sill is my favorite vegan dessert!!
