vegan sandwiches to die for - Edit
Ive been ordering delivery from them for my lunch break at work and I couldn't be more grateful that they exist.
Read moreI loved the Cuban sandwich which by the way the only complaint is why not just call it " CUBAN SANDWICH " instead of whatever it is that is called.
Pros: variety, croissants, the bread
Cons: the names of the sandwiches, why is the cuban spicy???????

The simple things are the most beautiful - Edit
Yeah, the title of my review is dumb. But take one look at their breakfast croissant sandwich and tell me you disagree.

If I could pack this place up and move it home with me, I would.

amazing sandwiches - Edit
i’ve been following orchard grocer on instagram for years. unfortunately i live 2 hours away so it’s taken me a while to get here. i knew even from their posts that their sandwiches were 🔥 and they did not disappoint. we got the miles & the romey and loved both. they had so much flavor! we also got cookie dough soft serve after, and honestly, that was disappointing. it was an icy consistency more so like sorbet than soft serve ice cream. the store itself was cute and i was able to get some grocery items i haven’t seen anywhere else. i wish i didn’t live so far away.
Read moreCons: soft serve is icy, not creamy.

A Prime Sandwich Spot! - Edit
I go to Orchard Grocer whenever I visit this big city. When I visit, I'm always satisfied by their sandwiches, and I thoroughly savored their soft serve ice cream the last time I tried it. There's also a vegan goods store next door that's worth going to, as well!

Vegan deli at its best! - Edit
My company ordered Katz's deli as the food for the annual winter party much to the distress of the handful of us vegans there and so we countered with a request to order some vegan food- my colleague suggested Orchard Grocer and I was excited to finally try it! We ordered The 3-Foot Monty Sandwich and the Cobb Salad, both were just outstanding! The sandwich was so satisfying and delicious we didn't feel like we were 'missing out' one bit (not that we would!) The Cobb was a huge hit, our vegetarian colleague isn't down with mock meat but she was all into the Cobb and I couldn't agree more, it could be the star of its own show it's so damn good, the blue cheese, the mushroom bacon, the tofu fried chickn and egg salad... I'll definitely be ordering again for myself.
Read more1/25/24--Tonight went to a Vegan NYC meetup and Orchard Grocer was on site for us to order food, tried the jalapeno poppers and they were so yummy with Numu cheese. Also got a Nutella Cream Cheese doughnut to take home and that was delicious too! 5 more stars for Orchard Grocer!

it was so good - Edit
i consumed it in 5 minutes in my dark cold car and felt the ghost of despair in its absence after it was all over. i didnt think a sandwich with fried tofu could be that good. they also had a lot of interesting specialty vegan goods on their shelves that i had never seen before. definitely will go here if i am ever in brooklyn again

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

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.
