OMG

This is the BEST place in NYC, hands down. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for.

Favorite vegan place in NYC

Good, easy sandwiches salads and sides. Rotating flavors of soft serve and different cookies and pastries. Their mac and cheese is amazing. Such a values-based company and I love supporting them and the next-door Moo Shoes, vegan shoe and accessory store.

Pros: All vegan, Nicest staff, Great location

Good

I've tried the Francis, the Georgina, the Bowery and twice their day special. By far my favorite is the Francis and then the Georgina. The specials were really good too. The Bowery, not for me. The place is expensive!

Incredible! Had the kale Caesar and it was amazing! Bought some other niche vegan groceries too! So happy this place exists.

Great shop

I was thoroughly impressed with the selection of VGF items available here. Tons of artisan and run of the mill cheeses, baking goods, cereals, condiments and spreads. They even have VGF meat slices! And VGF mozzarella sticks.

I regret not trying the soft serve ice cream.

Sandwich was meh

Thought I would love my sandwich from here. I got a tuna sandwich on rye. It was super basic.
Overall I was disappointed after hearing all the hype from this place. Maybe I just ordered the wrong sandwich?

I also ordered the “chicken” tenders and those were hot and tasty (with bbq sauce on the side)!

Fun

I love that all vegan spots like this exist in New York – just one of the many reasons it's my favorite city😄

That said, this is a place that focuses a lot on substitutes for dairy and meat instead of more natural plant based foods, so gotta be in the right mood for it.

The stuff I have had has been good, but not my favorite.

No Bad Apples In This Orchard

I ordered The Miles breakfast sandwich. The heat made the croissant softer than I prefer, but it was still good. The "bacon" tasted realistic.

Pros: all vegan, cafe and store

Best breakfast sandwich in Manhattan

Orchard Grocer is unreal. A vegan grocery store and deli with the best breakfast sandwiches in Manhattan. Nothing else comes close. If I lived nearby I would try to do most of my groceries here. The occasional sandwich will have to do for now.

THE BEST

I love visiting Orchard Grocer- not only is their grocery selection awesome, but so is there food! I love their sandwiches, soft serve, mac and cheese, and of course all of the delicious pastries! This is a one of a kind place. If you're in NY, you have to make a stop here. If you live here, you gotta make it a weekly trip!

Updated from previous review on 2020-07-09

Pros: Fantastic food, Many vegan grocery staples, ALL VEGAN

Cons: Small space, Long wait when its busy! but so worth it

Vegan Safe Haven

This was such a fun shopping experience! I came for a fried chikn tofu on a croissant with hollandaise sauce (it was THE best breakfast sandwich I have ever had). BUT, I left with marshmallows and carrot lox, as I hadn’t had them since going vegan. Something for everyone here!

Pros: Plethora of vegan options , Friendly staff , Outdoor seating

Cons: Easy to spurge

Too good to be true

I love orchard grocer. I typically swing by here when I’m heading to Riverdel. I get the same salad every time, but I have tried other items like the Mac and cheese which is out of this world! There’s also a super cute vegan leather shop next door.

Daily special sandwich

I ordered the tofu fried chick’n, avocado, spicy pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, & Alabama white bbq sauce sandwich. It was really good and filling! I would have preferred a little more sauce though.

One con is that you can only order certain sandwiches if they’re being offered as a daily special. For example you cannot order today’s sandwich tomorrow, you would have to wait until it is on special again and that is only if it gets repeated.

Never Disappoints

Two trips to NYC and both times we’ve made multiple trips to Brooklyn to try out more of their menu. “The Edith” - a bagel with house made cashew cream cheese, carrot lox, capers and chives & just the right amount of smoke - is a Favourite but we have never regretted any of our orders. Their little market is an aisle of floor to ceiling vegan products. This was where we loaded up in NYC gifts for friends and family. Delicious vegan food - you can’t go wrong 😉

Pros: So many vegan options, Creative, delicious recipes , Fresh house made ingredients

Cons: Call ahead if you’re in a hurry

The best sandwiches!!

Never did I think I'd be able to try an authentic vegan NYC Reuben, but the Marlowe here is mind blowingly close! I need to know how they make seitan taste like that. And the bread was perfect!

Pros: Incredible vegan take on classic sandwiches, Groceries available too, Great staff

Cons: A little on the pricey side but not bad for nyc, Wish I lived closer!

Best Place in NYC

Vegan grocery store where you don't have to worry about checking labels. And everything is free from palm-oil. They also have macarons and cookies from Sweet Maresa's and Gem Bakery, respectively. Plus the most amazing doughnuts from Peaceful Provisions on Sundays. Fully vegan deli with sandwiches, salads, mac'n'cheese, and soft serve ice cream.

Pros: Everything is vegan and palm-oil free

Fantastic shop/cafe

As an out of towner I can’t comment too much on the actual products on offer in the shop but they were varied, from lots of brands I recognise and seemed reasonably priced.

The real attraction for me was bagels and sandwiches - specifically the Reuben. Something I have long missed as a vegan of a few years now. This is the first place I’ve found vegan pastrami and oh boy was it worth the wait. Full of flavour and so much of it! This place knows how to make a sandwich. Well worth a visit if you’re in NYC.

Pros: Sandwiches to die for, Wide range of vegan products , Well priced
