The best place for sandwiches - Edit
Great food. Orchard Grocer offers a wide variety of options, focusing mostly on amazing sandwiches. As someone craving diner-style pastrami alternatives, this place was heaven. I tried the Francis Sandwich, which was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. On another visit, I had the breakfast burrito, which was not quite in the same league as the pastrami, but still very tasty. I couldn't resist dessert and also had the Dubai Sundae. So good! The staff was very friendly. I can’t wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu!
Read morePros: delicious, friendly staff, vegan shoe shop inside :)

Good not great - Edit
I expected a little bit more from the sandwiches. I got the Reuben and my husband got the steak and we both thought that they were fine but definitely not great. Appreciate that this place exists but I wouldn't rush over.

Vegan paradise - Edit
Orchard grocer has everything. If you want to try classic New York staples like lox bagels, different deli sandwiches, black and white cookies, etc you must come here. There is also a small grocery store when you first walk in that has some of the best and most hard to find vegan items like the plant based Reese’s peanut butter cups. If that’s not enough there’s ALSO a seating area that’s connected to it inside of vegan shoe/purse shop. This may be my new favorite spot in the city, please consider visiting and supporting this incredible place.

Worth the walk - Edit
We walked over an hour to get here, as it was a “must try” recommendation from a coworker. We tried the Monty, the Francis and picked up some jerky. The sandwiches are so filling and taste incredible.

Nothing like this at home - Edit
Popped in and got the breakfast burrito and New York cheesecake.
Read moreThe cheesecake especially was so nice! I don't think I'd be able to get this kind of food anywhere else. Will try to go back before I leave.
Really nice staff and shop with lots of vegan food, clothing, etc.
Also the surrounding area in the Lower East Side is lovely to walk through.

NYC YUM! - Edit
needed a ny cheese cake fix after seeing so many dairy diners and bakeries. THANK YOU THANK YOU it was the best I’ve ever had. My partner who has dairy says it’s better than the dairy version. Too it off with a caramel vanilla oat milkshake 🙌🥤🍰

Delicious Vegan Deli in LES - Edit
Orchard Grocer is a vegan deli located in the LES. Aside from the very friendly staff, they serve up some excellent sandwiches. Their menu includes different breakfast items, hot/cold sandwiches & heros, wraps, salads, sides, & baked goods/desserts. I unfortunately only tried one thing on their menu- the Monty Hero, but it was absolutely delicious. I have a huge soft spot for everything seitan, and their seitan mortadella did not disappoint on this hero. The mayo added richness; the veggies added a crunch as well as a slight sweetness, and the bread brought it all together. The sandwich was very good for takeout, as I had half in-store and the other half later in the day, which was just as good as when it was fresh. When I revisit, I totally want to try one of their hot sandwiches, along with their mac & cheese. You'll have to check out their Instagram for weekly specials that always look amazing. Additionally, if you want to buy any vegan snacks/proteins/miscellaneous items, their building serves as a mini vegan grocery store with many different mainstream/local vegan food products. As a final note, while this was not my all-time favorite Italian cold cut, that one goes to the Herbivorous Butcher in Minneapolis, MN; my sandwich was delicious. I would highly recommend checking this place out, as just from the looks, everything on their menu looks extremely tasty.
Read morePros: Great flavors, Friendly Staff, Vegan grocery store attached
Cons: Limited seating

Better than the meat version!? - Edit
The sandwiches here are so unbelievably tasty that my carnivorous boyfriend actually said his ‘chicken’ ceasar wrap was the best he has ever eaten! I shared half and I agree it was absolutely amazing, I’m talking croutons just wrapped right in there, tasty protein pieces (not dry), delicious dressing and refreshing salad all inside the biggest wrap I have ever seen in my life - so really great value for money!
Read moreMy two sisters joined us, one veggie and one coeliac, both really enjoyed their food and there were good gluten free options.
I had a Philly ‘Cheezesteak’ as I had always wanted to try one, it was definitely good but I reccomend the caesar wrap if you want to be blown away :))

Great breakfast burrito - Edit
Such a great place to stop for a quick vegan meal on the Lower East Side! I can never decide what to get because it all looks so good but I got the breakfast burrito this last time. Orchard St is pretty quiet, so if it's a nice day I would suggest sitting outside. It's great place to stop before/after visiting the Tenement Museum, too. They also have a nice selection of vegan specialty groceries -- I got some cheddar from a brand I hadn't seen before and really enjoyed it! Service was friendly and quick!

Came for The Marlowe - Edit
A good vegan Rueben is hard to find. There are many tasty ones but they aren’t quite Ruebens. Orchard has one. Go get one. And soft serve ice cream! I had mine for breakfast.

I love this place - Edit
The first time I came here I got their lox bagel sandwich, but the lox was very sweet and I didn’t like it at all. My partner tried the Bowery sandwich and had a much better experience. I’ve since been back and tried the Miles, which I liked a lot more. I also like to come here for their selection of vegan groceries. This place is s neighborhood gem. ❤️

Finally Tracked Down the RIND Blue Cheese 🧀 - Edit
Loved finding the RIND blue cheese here since it’s been completely sold out online for a while. The store had a good selection of vegan products, snacks, cheeses, and prepared foods. It’s also connected to MooShoes, which was really cool since you can browse vegan shoes and groceries all in one stop. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area!

The OG - still best in the league! - Edit
No trip to NYC is complete without a pilgrimage here, and as usual, it didn’t disappoint! The Bowery sandwich made a fantastic breakfast and the mac and cheese made a great snack for later. Next trip I will bring ice packs so I can stock up on more grocery items!
