Good for breakfast - Edit
I enjoyed just looking around the store whilst waiting for my order and seeing all the vegan products (especially the ones we do not get in the UK). I thoroughly enjoyed my bagel, however my wife was not too keen on the "salmon" on her bagel.

Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in nyc - Edit
I regret not coming here sooner. If you want the full vegan breakfast sandwich rather than bagel and tofu cream cheese then this is the spot. Wish I lived nearby cause their grocery selections are awesome too!

Great sandwiches, lovely staff - Edit
I loved having a browse of the mini vegan grocery store they’ve got going on there, a lot of options.
Read moreThe sandwiches we got were also very good, they were a egg and tofu sandwich, and a salmon cream cheese bagel. I enjoyed both but wasn’t sure if the salmon bagel was my thing. It lacked a little wow factor which is why
Orchard Grocer gets a 4 stars from niki_nine

LOVE THIS PLACE - Edit
I had perhaps the best breakfast sandwich of my life here. I’d 100% recommend visiting the deli here, getting a soft serve ice cream, and some vegan goods to go as well.

Oh, the croissant sandwich! - Edit
Simply delicious!!!! I went back two days in a roll for the same sandwich! One of the best I’ve ever had. Just be careful cuz it comes out super hot. It will test your will power to have to wait to dive in fully!

Classic New York Bagel - Edit
My first stop after arriving back in NYC for breakfast was here at Orchard Grocer, a vegan grocery store in Chinatown with a robust deli menu.
Read moreTheir menu is filled with traditional and bagel sandwiches - all clearly marked with ingredients and mode of carb. You order with the staff at the front and wait for them to call your order.
I went with the Edith ($12), their take on the NY classic bagel & lox, and also ordered a side of their Mac N Cheese ($7). The bagel was massive - I had forgotten how thick these were in NY, but it was very much reminiscent of lox with the marinated carrot.
The mac was also good and a hearty side. Everything was great but very heavy, so don't feel like you need to finish it all in one go.
Since you're inside a grocery store, there isn't much space to sit and eat. They do have a small counter by the door that fits 2-3 people where you can eat and people watch.
Pros: Lots of sandwich options, all vegan

Fantastic soft serve! - Edit
I haven't had soft serve in the 10+ years I've been vegan, so it was fantastic to find this store and be able to have one again. The cream was great, but I was particularly impressed with the cone - it was thick and crunchy, much better than most vegan cones I've had before.
Read moreThe staff is friendly and the store has a nice stock of vegan goodies, such as chocolates, gummies, etc.

I had my first New York bagel here, it was the carrot lox bagel. Absolutely delicious and messy. It was great. I love the store and the fact that it's next to Moo Shoes.

Orchard Grocer - Edit
OMG their vegan croissant sandwich (the Miles?) was so good I nearly died. Instead, I just burned my mouth so bad because the sandwich was so delicious I couldn't wait for it to cool down (it was served very hot). It took all the willpower in the world to avoid going to Orchard Grocery every day for more of this amazing sandwich. 😋
Read morePS- Their vegan grocery selection is AMAZING. It's like this place is Vegan Heaven.

The soft serve is good, if you can get it. - Edit
They advertise vegan soft serve. However, every time I come they say the machine “just ran out”.

Best vegan softserve! - Edit
I've had vegan soft serve all over the city and orchards is hands down the best! They always have a new seasonal flavor and all are good. My favorite is the pumpkin flavor in the fall 😍 definitely ask for the chocolate shell over your ice cream!
Read moreThe miles sandwich is my favorite vegan sandwich and there are so many great vegan products sold too. Highly recommend visiting 👌
Pros: Best soft serve, Tons of vegan products, Great sandwiches
Cons: Can be pricey

Little vegan grocery store and deli - Edit
Large selection of deli items and large selection of vegan groceries. Small little place. Has a bar inside that fits 2 and a seating area outside. My wife had I got the Monty and the Edith. Seitan mortadella olives and bell peppers and carrot lox créame cheese bagel. Both were really good! Can’t wait to try something else again!
