Ive heard a lot of great things about this place so I decided to order delivery through their website. I waited an entire hour for it to be delivered only for them to call me and say we dont deliver to brooklyn, only LES. I understand that but the fact they didnt tell me until 20 minutes after it was supposed to be delivered is extremely frustrating. no where on their website did it say that.
Delicious Deli-style vegan sandwiches and specialty vegan groceries. Every time I go I discover some great new vegan product Id never heard of before. Very friendly and helpful service. The Miles, the Rocko, the Marlowe, and the Francis are my favorites. I tried to narrow it down and pick one or two favorites, but I couldnt! Youll just have to go four times!
Just thinking about the gourmet comfort food at this place makes my mouth water. I’ve had several of the sandwiches and enjoyed all of them. Once, the owner was there when I placed a large order (six sandwiches). When I told her I was bringing them to a friend who was in the hospital, she grabbed several bags of chips and other goodies and stuffed them in my bag. I was so touched.
I was so excited to try this place, though, I don’t think it lived up to the hype for me :( My sandwich was definitely good though, get the Georgina! The tofu is super crispy. I asked for some creamy sauce and they gave me something with a green tint that looked like it would be good, but it was kind of flavorless. My girlfriend got the Italian sandwich and wasn’t that in to it, but she may just be too picky. And my friend got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich was okay- the croissant was really good though. I would like to come back and try other things!
The staff there is amazing. The service there is great and the ice cream is to die for. Best ice cream I’ve ever had
Great little shop. Had an item that was out of stock everywhere else I looked. I should have gone there first but only recently began working in the area
A bit pricey. Used to occasionally get the sandwiches a couple years ago; they were pretty delicious. Recently had the cashew-based ice cream (vanilla and pistachio swirl)—approx $7 for a cup, but so freakin’ creamy and nutty in a delicious way. I imagine the pistachio flavor would’ve been overkill if I didn’t opt to swirl it with the vanilla.
Love this place!! Delicious sandwiches. Super cute small store with vegan grocery items.
The food here is overall subpar. While the idea of vegan sandwiches is terrific, Orchard delivers a product inferior to what you could accomplish with fresh ingredients at home --it is all highly processed. The other products in the shop are just the standard items that you could find at any bodega in N.Y.
The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is because they have high prices but that stops me from coming everyday so thats OK lolThis is one of if not THE BEST place to bring someone who is about to start their vegan journey or a vegan who normally doesnt not trust eateries.I have had a majority of the menu and its all DELICIOUS, my personal favorite sandwich is The Miles its the Bacon Egg & cheese on a croissant I wish someone would have gotten me when I was younger. I would have been vegan DECADES earlier.There is a small seating area but I definitely wouldnt say its a good date spot nor is it perfect for a group.
This place is the best I always leave satisfied do not forget to try the vegan soft served
Great food good staff
Ive been here a few times, ordered sandwiches and croissants. Everything was pretty good, and the service friendly. However, today I tried the Buffalo Tofu salad and it was simply divine! Overall, a great vegan business that deserves some love.
Awesome food, quick friendly service. Will definitely come back. Thank you!
Super good bowery sammich. Super nice staff. Super cool sliding ladder on the shelves inside!
Run to Orchard Grocer if you are in NYC! We had the miles and the the Bowery. The miles is JUST egg, Seitans Helper maple bacon, violife provolone cheese, mayo and scallions on a croissant. That croissant was to die for. The Bowery is a breakfast sandwich with turmeric tofu egg, tempeh bacon, and Violife provolone slice on fresh roll, served with a choice of spicy or regular mayo. I had the spicy mayo which wasnt very spicy but it was so delicious. This is stuff of dreams. I wish I could have those sandwiches shipped to me. They have a few bar stools and a counter at the front of the shop but this is a grab and go kind of place. I will definitely be back on my next trip to NYC.
You will not find a better vegan sandwich or soft serve in NYC. The grocery is stocked with stuff you can’t find elsewhere and the staff is second to none. Seriously the nicest, most knowledgeable, and creative people you’ll find. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Solid spot. The Monty absolutely slaps. Im not a vegan, or even a vegetarian but the quality stands out on its own and keeps me coming back.
Monty was delicious! Cant go wrong it has a little spice and its prefect unique sandwhich.
This place is smoke and mirrors, average products and bland food at high prices. The owner also has an aggressive dog know to attack other pets, that they take no social responsibility for. Not very animal friendly after all.
What a fantastic concept!!Love this place and our favorite deli in the city
I come here every time I come to New York. I tend to spend all my time in the Lower East Side and I went so long before discovering this place. This little grocer has so many different vegan items and the BEST breakfast sandwiches. I’ve had The Marlowe and The Miles sandwiches are they are both incredible. The vegan croissants they sell here are also amazing. I’ve never had a vegan croissant that tastes so much like a regular croissant.
Very kind staff; very savory Mac and cheese! 🧀
Some of the best vegan sandwiches around
I’ve eaten the Monty 3 of my last 4 meals. It gets better every time
Going to give four stars because 1) clearly this place already gets a lot of love 2) in an ocean of really affordable food, you’d think OG could offer a few more affordable options. Truly, their salads are next level and I’ve hear plenty of love for their sandwiches. But the prices are all on the high end, which is a shame. Why does healthy food need to always come with a high price association? The neighborhood could use more cheap, affordable healthy food. OG would be a great place to start.
Make sure to grab a sandwich when you buy groceries. I love that I can place my order online. Fast and friendly service!
I like this place alot, good Vegan sandwiches and many vegan products to choose from and stock up your pantry....the vegan way 😉
I swear I dont know why I didnt decide to give of Orchard Grocer sooner.This place is amazing. Amazing sandwiches, soft serve, specials and they even have donuts from peaceful provisions one day a week.Whether youre a tourist or New York local this place is a must stop for any vegan.
This is THE place for Vegan specialty food items. Their soft serve vegan ice cream is absolutely, hands down, the best Ive ever tasted. No cloying, unctuous mouth feel, just delicious flavor and satisfying richness. Their adjacent companion store, Moo Shoes, has an outstanding assortment of faux leather goods, shoes, bags, wallets and accessories. Worth a trip to the Lower East Side, no matter what your persuasion or predelictions might be. Very interesting stop.
I really love this place. The variety of vegan sandwiches, sides, salads, and desserts combined with their deliciousness is exactly what I want from a vegan place. They actively post deals to their social media so you can check what the daily special is going to be in advance. 🙂
One of my favorite places. Amazing menu
Very nice people, food is amazing, they have a wide selection of vegan groceries and even vegan shrimp that is amazing!
They have super interesting niche products, bomb soft serve, and the staff is always incredibly nice. Love shopping here
My favorite vegan sandwich place! Their softserve is outstanding and they change their specials daily. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly and they have so many hard to find and delectable vegan provisions. I also love that all their products are palm oil free. Highly recommend the Francis!
Great vegan sandwiches. Grocery has options I dont see other places. Discovered best vegan Turkey there- Unreal Deli- Mrs. Goldbergs.
Amazing spot for hard-to-find vegan specialty foods and delicious sandwiches 🔥❤️
Some of the best vegan sandwiches in the city 😋
I’ve liked Orchard G since they opened but they gained extra gratitude & admiration from me when they started delivering groceries while going through the worst of the pandemic, that was a great help for me & so many. They’re now back to serving sandwiches, etc and that’s so incredible. Nora, the manager (and all the staff really) is simply amazing. Thank you, OG!
Food is fresh and tasty. Staff is always sweet.
Im upgrading this a star because their macaroni and cheese is excellent and gluten free.Food is vegan and just OK. My first thought was that I could do a much better job. The vegan nuggets had the feeling of coming out of a elementary school lunch room. The tuna and potato salad were tasteless and dry. My GF had the egg sandwich which tasted good.. The vegan ice cream was also excellent. I will go back, mainly because there are not many vegan options and the window style eating is easy after a Saturday or Sunday walk.
Amazing! The food is sooo good & it was so cool to see the groceries section. I was visiting so couldn’t buy much but I grabbed a few things and loved it all! The tuna (both), chocolate caramels & brownie were great.Being vegan isn’t always about the health. I love junk food and I love animals. I absolutely love the choices here!
Best grocery store in NYC. Friendly staff and the absolute most fantastic products possible.
Oh my gosh! BEST VEGAN 🌱 SANDWICHES! You don’t need to be vegan to enjoy the yumminess here! And a stocked grocery shop with such a great selection of vegan groceries 😍💚💚💚💚💚💚
Great staff, amazinf selection and delicious prepared food. There is nowhere better for plant based eating.
So yummy! I had the Cuban style sandwich & potato salad, it tasted so authentic! Reminded me why I love being vegan
Soft serve is great!! Plus a lovely selection of vegan groceries, cheeses and sandwiches. Love this place.
At first sight it seems great that they offer so many vegan choices of food products but a pity that they don’t sell anything in bulk. All you see is heavily PLASTIC packed, processed vegan products :( Not really the vegan lifestyle, as this creates more plastic waste. Instead, you should be consuming wholesome plant-based food. Sell/buy in bulk, people can bring their own reusable bags and containers etc.
So worth going out of your way to visit, particularly if youre from outside the US. Amazing range of vegan products, including some great vegan jerky. Its pricey though.They also have a range of sandwiches made with JUST egg products so this is a great place to try it. We ordered an everything bagel with JUST egg scramble and seitan bacon and the carrot lox bagel with cashew cheese, which was super tangy and delicious. We ate in (pre covid), but there are basically only 3 seats.
The Marlowe rueben has ruined any other sandwich for me. I imagine all of their sandwiches are just as good.Went on a Saturday during lunch - be prepared to wait, but it’s worth it. Perfect spot to eat right outside too!
Love these vegan sandwiches!!
Food was 👍and service was top notch
Really great vegan food and groceries. I always stop here when I’m in the neighborhood.
Wonderful stop for whomever whos interested in incorporating more vegan foods into their diet! Their sandwich menu is wonderful and wont leave you disappointed. They carry lot of items which people who are new to vegan diet could appreciate: exciting selection of mock meats, cheeses, fake tuna or plant-based eggs. When the weather is warm, they serve their famous vegan soft serve! The sandwiches and the soft serve are worth the long walk there! :)
Their ice cream is amazing!
SO GOOD. I miss being at work in the city so I could order lunch from here everyday haha. I have been taking advantage of their grocery delivery service and it’s been keeping me going. They also have yummy treats and ice cream and are located next to MooShoes (a vegan shoe store). Love this place so much!
Great place to do vegan groceries, really nicely stocked. Plus a great place to eat. Not much space to sit but its well worth it to try the vegan croissant with JustEgg.
Its a cozy place. They have tons of goods sold (vegan and gluten-free). Theres a huge variety of products for such a small spot. Service was quick and the workers are nice people ☺️I also love that they sell non-dairy soft serve! Ive been searching for this for a long time!
I love this place! The sandwiches are so good (including a daily special which is always amazing) and they have delicious gourmet vegan treats and plant-based cheeses and sausages. There is a tiny counter with stools for eating inside, and a bench outside on the sidewalk -- but its always busy and hard to find a spot. Still, totally worth it!
Delicious croissants !Fresh and Hot Vegan Options ! Highly Recommend Please!
DELISH fried tofu chicken sandwich. Whoever is crafting their menu has got skills. Great service and so many great vegan grocery items in a small and quaint space with a small bar stool seating area where you can enjoy your food and people watch as folks pass by on the sidewalk.
Best vegan sandwiches in NYC!!!!
Best place ever. All vegan deli. Fantastic sandwiches and great vegan products as well! Wish they were open after 8pm.
The Fried cashew Mac and cheese sandwich was incredibly tasty and indulgent. The store is very compact and seating is very limited. My recommendation is to get to go or eat outside if it’s a nice day. I wish there were more Whole vegetables on the side of sandwiches to make it a more complete meal. Overall, this is a great sandwich fix for plant based eaters.
Best selection of not-so-common vegan foods for at-home cooking. Their food is so so so delicious. From the seasonal soft serve ice creams to the sandwiches and salads- this place has it down! My favorite things to order here are the pumpkin soft serve, Marlowe sandwich, and vegan Caesar salad
Orchard Grocer definitely rivals my favorite vegan deli, Berben and Wolffs, which is located in Albany, NY. I definitely found myself comparing Orchard Grocer to my favorite deli and I am happy to say that I found myself won over by the simple yet succulent breakfast sandwich. The products that they carry are amazing as well; everything from artisan vegan cheeses to tempting vegan chocolate. Im in love with this deli and I cannot wait to return with a cooler in hand to buy some artisan cheeses!
Charming little grocery store that sells unique vegan products and condiments ( like this tequila lime jalapeno hot sauce I just bought) and fresh vegan sandwiches, baked goods, and soft serve. Their vegan cubano is to die for and every day they have a new sandwich special. Also attached to a vegan clothing and shoe store where I got the cutest boots.
Great place to look for vegan essentials. But not a fan of their sandwiches. I got the Francis today and the only thing I could taste was salt. No other flavor could come through. Service was great. Took 25 mins to get the sandwich and the place was packed but the taste of the food is not recommended.
Orchard Grocer is a nice little shop in Manhattan that sells a variety of very cool vegan and healthy food options. I stopped in to pick up some vegan donuts and was very pleased with the service, freshness, ambiance, and friendliness of the staff! If you are in the area looking for some healthy food, this is definitely a great place.
A great selection of vegan products! Lots of meats and cheeses. I love the carrot lox. I didnt get to try a sandwich, but I had some of the soft serve and it was amazing! Seriously the best vegan soft serve I have ever eaten.
Delicious food, and always kind service!
Vegan heavenFrom Just Egg, to their incredible sandwiches, to their soft serve ice cream you won’t believe is cruelty free Orchard Grocer is a little corner of heaven in a great spot. There’s always something new and delicious to try and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable.Only downside? They won’t sell me a palate of their sandwiches. Something about zoning laws
We love Orchard Grocer! Specialty items, unique, quality, fresh deli and educated, professional, wonderful staff!
