If you’re into sandwiches, welcome home - Edit
Delicious sandwiches. Everyone that works here is always super nice! They have daily specials as well that are in my opinion the best option.

Quite a place - Edit
The Miles. Holy moly that is the definition of comfort food. Most expensive sandwich on their menu, but worth it to try at least once. Literrally every ingredient in the sanwich is a mock ingredient, and every single one is delicious, notably the egg, which they season super tasty and IMO has a pretty spot-on texture. My non-vegan gf tried and and was also impressed, especially by the cheese. They also have an excellent selection of vegan products. So much cheese. Finally got to try Violife, made it on a grilled cheese and it was excellent.
Read morePros: So much delicious vegan
Cons: Idk if I'd call it one dollar sign.. maybe for NYC

A Vegan Must-Visit!! - Edit
If you're visiting NYC and you're a vegan, you CANNOT leave without visiting this place. It's a vegan's paradise: made-to-order food, soft-serve ice cream, and unique vegan products galore! On my last visit, I was able to try The Edith (bagel, house-made cashew cream cheese, carrot lox, capers, chives) and the peanut butter soft-serve with caramel. For those who need to eat gluten free, they have a designated Celiac-friendly food preparation space, which is awesome. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu, but that's a goal for next time, lol.

a huge fan ! - Edit
I am absolutely a regular as orchard grocer! it’s about a 15 minute walk from my apartment, and whenever I have free time, I wander over just to see if they have any new vegan products to try, or what the special for that day is! it’s absolutely amazing walking into a store and not having to read every single ingredient on a label. they have some amazing sandwiches to order (deli style, as there isn’t much seating inside) plus some treats (most notably donuts that typically sell out within a few hours). I looove this place - my only criticism is that I wish they had more space for more indoor seating and more vegan products !!

Vegan Comfort Food - Edit
Had the Marlowe and the Mac and cheese which was topped with breadcrumbs and shiitake bacon. Both were so so good! The staff was super friendly and sweet. Food prices are reasonable, but prepared food and other vegan snacks sold on the side are a bit pricey.

Most magical grocery store! - Edit
Love all the products they stock - it’s so nice to enter a store and not read all the ingredients to figure what’s vegan! Their sandwiches are so amazing and we can’t wait to try their soft serve.

Best vegan soft serve - Edit
This was the best vegan soft serve ice had. The shop gets crowded, so plan to take your order to go.

Best vegan breakfast! - Edit
We were staying in NYC for a few days and were looking around for somewhere to get a good vegan breakfast. Lots of great options for lunch/dinner, but breakfast was difficult. Luckily we found this place! The Miles sandwich with just egg and the Bowery sandwich with tofu were both so good! I love just egg and was so happy to find a restaurant that uses it for sandwiches. We actually came back a second time because it was so good.
Read moreThe store also has tons of other vegan grocery items that looked really interested. Great place to shop or get breakfast! I’m sure their lunch is great too, we just didn’t get a chance to try it.
Pros: All vegan, Good service
Cons: Expensive

The ultimate bagel - Edit
As a vegan and a carb lover, I couldn’t have dreamt of a better place to satisfy my cravings. I bet non-vegans or those missing the “regular” stuff will also leave delighted; basically all items on the menu are veganised versions of famous American foods and a vast array of vegan cheeze, mock meats or sweets (including soft serves and pastry!) can be found. Located in truly charming surroundings, it is also visually pleasing inside and outside

Pros: amazing taste , a wide selection of both dishes and products , short waiting time despite long queues

Excellent place - Edit
This is an excellent vegan grocery/deli, with a bunch of faux meats/cheeses and the like. You can counter order sandwiches for takeout, or for eating on a couple of stools. This is not for fine dining, not super-healthy or gourmet or cheap. On the other hand, the food is tasty, nicely priced, and a real treat.
Read morePros: Tasty tacos, All vegan
Cons: More of a takeout place than dining restaurant

A visionary deli grocer - Edit
Everyone should come to this establishment. All the food is fair trade and meets the highest ethical standards. No palm oil, all sustainably harvested foods. They have all the vegan grocery items you could dream about (soy curls, Worcestershire sauce, Dandies, etc.), so it’s a treat to go, as well as to visit the attached shoe store next door. The deli sandwiches are amazing! I bought mine a few hours before a picnic with friends and it was delicious. It looks s incredible as it tastes.

Cute vegan grocery and deli - Edit
The grocery store has a lot of vegan groceries. Some of the things you can get elsewhere like at Whole Foods or elsewhere, but many things I’ve only seen before at this place. The deli is also great. Sometimes when they get busy, the food takes a while to come out, but the sandwiches are excellent. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, especially because MooShoes is right next door.

Incredible sandwiches, perfect breakfast! - Edit
So good we went back twice in a few days, despite all the other vegan options in New York! We had the Reuben, Cuban, Bowery (brekky), Edith (smoked salmon and cream cheese). All were packed with flavour and big serving sizes! Tasted like the non vegan version. What a treat!

Great Salad - Edit
I didn’t go here for awhile because I’m not a huge mock meat person and didn’t realize they had salads. I got the buffalo tofu salad and it was delicious! Great selection of vegan pantry items. I will definitely be a return customer.

Head straight to the deli at the back of Orchard Grocer and order the Miles breakfast sandwich. Flaky, buttery vegan croissant topped with seitan bacon, JUST egg and provolone cheese.

Great veg grocery - Edit
I was pretty happy to find this place, they’re really friendly. I ordered the bagel, cream cheese and lox. I’ve never had lox before and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. They also have TONS of vegan groceries that I couldn’t find at my local Whole Foods.
