Fantastic! - Edit
Soooooo much to choose from. I had the breakfast croissant on one day and the Caesar salad on another, both were great. And with so many products available, it's hard to resist buying everything in the store 😆

I popped in and got the vanilla-lavender soft-serve ice cream cone and it was everything I needed on a hot day.

Seriously, we split a Francis sandwich which was like a warm embrace on a rainy cloudy day, bought some snacks to take home and had the best creamy soft serve ever - SERIOUSLY - this soft serve is the real deal and was so good we went back for more😉

Wide Variety, Very Expensive - Edit
I didn’t get anything from the deli, but I did check it out and purchase a few items from the market section. I was so impressed with the wide array of products (they carried brands and products I’d never seen before). I also love that everything is palm oil free, but everything was soooo expensive.

Best vegan fast food on Manhattan - Edit
We had sandwiches, salad and soft serve, and everything was super tasty, easily the best vegan fast food I’ve had on Manhattan! The service is fast and friendly, and the grocery store has tons of yummy pre-packaged things like vegan cheese, snacks and candy. Highly recommended, support a fully vegan business instead of the big “health food” stores full of animal products!

Creamy soft serve - Edit
I tried the soft serve here and it was everything I wanted it to be. So creamy and really delicious. The peanut butter had a really strong PB flavor. Will definitely go back next time in NYC

Everything You Need (and then some) - Edit
Orchard Grocer has it all! As an Angeleno, I’m not used to finding grocery stores that are comparable to Besties…..Orchard does just that (and might even rival them)! The sandwiches are heavenly. The service is friendly. The variety is great. You gotsta check them out if you’re in NYC #Veganuary

Bland & disappointing - Edit
Huge disappointment. Reading all the 5 star reviews makes this place sound amazing - sadly not the case. I tried the Monty which sounded great but was pretty much the blandest sandwich I can remember eating. It tasted like a plain roll, just a bit saltier. I asked the staff member if they could put it in the grill for me (since warm food is tastier than cold food)and they refused on the basis that “that’s the way it’s supposed to be”.

Sensational - Edit
When you combine the coleslaw from the chicken sandwich with the strawberry soft serve, it tastes like a vintage bowling alley carpet. Please try

Good - Edit
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!

Sandwich was meh - Edit
Thought I would love my sandwich from here. I got a tuna sandwich on rye. It was super basic.
Read moreOverall 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 - Edit
I love that all vegan spots like this exist in New York – just one of the many reasons it's my favorite city😄
Read moreThat 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 - Edit
I ordered The Miles breakfast sandwich. The heat made the croissant softer than I prefer, but it was still good. The "bacon" tasted realistic.

Best breakfast sandwich in Manhattan - Edit
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.
