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. ;)

the town i live in hasnt opened very many vegan restaurants…(2 i believe) but i think my favorite food would have to smoothies..they’re just so versatile and functional!
I love Indian Food! As delicious as ever, without thinking about how ingredients are “missing!”
My favorite is hummus! xo
My vegan favorite is definitely your Peanut Butter Banana Bomb Muffins. AMAZING!
I love your “Perfect Veggie Burgers” on Dave’s Killer Blues Buns. Oh, and can’t forget to add the veggies and honey dijon mustard–yum! If you haven’t had Dave’s bread, you should definitely give it a try if you have the chance! I think it is the most delicious bread ever.
Some of my favorite vegan foods are quinoa, nuts, chickpeas, and practically every vegetable known to man :)
I love love love sphaghetii squash!
Definitely has to be high-quality nut butter. Love having it just straight up as part of breakfast. And lunch. And dinner.
I love everything vegan but if I had to pick one thing it would be Alicia Sliverstone’s raw ball recipe! They satisfy my sweet tooth and I don’t feel guilty eating them!
It’s gotta be vegan avocado brownies!!!
kale chips dipped in sriracha!!
Your Double Chocolate Torte, for sure! I can’t wait to make it for the holiday dessert!
My favorite vegan food would have to be vegan mac ‘n cheeze. It’s the best comfort food out there, and it’s gotten me through many winter nights!
Hands down, my favorite vegan food of the moment is your chocolate almond macaroons. I recently ate a whole batch myself. Not my proudest moment, but they were so good!
Hands down Silk Dark Chocolate Almond milk. Couldn’t live without it!! :)
I love the color of buckwheat pancakes on a Sunday morning.
I adore dishes featuring sweet potatoes -entrees or dessert alike.
Comfort food for a comfort meal: nice warm bowl of oatmeal for breakfast with peanut butter, almonds, flax seed, applesauce and almond milk. Never fails!
That place looks amazing! .. I would say my favorite vegan food would be guacomole and salsa OR your butternut squash and black bean burritos! So delish!
definitely has to be a delicious massaged raw kale salad!!
