A must !! - Edit
In a 5 day trip, we visited here 3 times !!So so good and they sell loads of items in there as well such as crisps, sweets and chocolate, they do have a fridge and freezer section if you are a local. Definitely the best breakfast you will get in New York. Small seating area so you can eat in.

Great options - Edit
Lovely place for a quick pitstop. Good stock of vegan goodies and many sandwich options (as well as cakes and pastries). We tried the Bowery and the monty. As we took them to the airport with us, they got a bit soggy (especially the monty because of the amount of mayonnaise, whereas that Bowery held up a bit better). Hard to judge the quality because we ate them 6 hours later, but overall good and I preferred the Bowery (though the monty was bigger and more filled. This also made it slightly sickly by the end).
Read morePros: Interesting sandwich mock meat/fish options, Fun items in the shop
Cons: The monty was quite intense

Delicious! - Edit
Lots of great grocery items and a delicious sandwich and salad menu. I had the Bowery breakfast sandwich with tofu egg, tempeh bacon, and vegan provolone on a roll. It was very good and filling! Highly recommend.

Good breakfast - Edit
I visited Orchard Grocer in November and it was really good! I had the vegan bagel with cream cheese and lox and it was lovely. The store also had so many options, a lot of things we can’t get in the UK so we bought a few things to bring back with us! Definitely head over there if you are looking for a proper vegan bagel 🥯

Tasty comfort food.. - Edit
Decent sandwiches! They look a bit tastier than they are, and they're reeally quite messy - you'll need lots of napkins - but overall this place offers a decent variety.
Read moreI tried The Miles, The Marlowe, and The Francis.
I usually love extra sauce (the juicier the better!), but surprisingly, everything I've ordered from here drips just a liiiittle too much. 😅
The store has some neat choices, but caution.. many of their items are a bit pricey.

Great sandwiches - Edit
Got a couple of sandwiches here and they were very good. Just a small counter with two stools for customers, so plan to eat elsewhere. Appreciate a vegan store with some convenience foods and special treats. Moo Shoes is right next door!

Delicious! - Edit
We had two sandwiches, potato salad and Mac and cheese, because it all looked so good we couldn’t decide! I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong, everything we had was great! And the staff was so nice! There is also a great vegan store next door that sells shoes.

Amazing soft serve - a highlight - Edit
This soft serve is the stuff of LEGENDS. Our flavour of the season was peanut butter and oh my gosh was it delicious.

Favorite Vegan Spot in NYC - Edit
Orchard Grocer is a vegan haven. Every single hot food item they sell is amazing. I love the Miles the most, but nothing has ever disappointed. There is an all vegan grocery store with a ton of hard to find vegan items! The staff is amazing, and while it’s pricey, it is worth every penny. The pastries they have by the register are also always on point.

A true vegan NYC breakfast sandwich - Edit
One thing I wanted while in NYC was a true New York staple — the breakfast sandwich — done vegan. The Bowery at Orchard Grocer delivered!

First Rate Eatery - Edit
Found this little gem by accident as the place I was looking for was closed. The cream cheese bagel was delicious, my wife had the gluten free bagel option and she said it was the best she had ever tasted

AMAZING - Edit
This spot is fantastic. The Miles on a roll is one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Food is great, service is quick, and they have so many awesome vegan grocery items as well!

Beautiful place - Edit
I had the Bowery sandwich, and an ice cream while I waited. The ice cream was so good, and it was HUGE! The sandwich didn't get eaten until a few hours after I bought it, which worried me as some hot sandwiches aren't very good after that long, but it was still amazing and I finished every bite! Would go back again and again.

such an awesome spot! - Edit
we tried the lox bagel and the breakfast croissant sandwich. i was searching nyc for a vegan lox bagel and this one with marinated carrot satisfied my craving. they have just about every vegan goodie here, with a crazy upcharge of course. makes sense tho bc this is a very carefully curated collection of goods. would def go again to try more sandwiches

Amazing sandwiches - Edit
I’ve been drooling over their Instagram for years and finally made it. Their Cuban sandwich was sooo good and so was the Romey.

Very tasty but - Edit
I really like the flavoursome fillings, but the bread was really dry. I ordered a delivery for dinner on a Sunday evening, so maybe that's why. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - one of the best I've ever had! Would like to try the food again when it's fresh.
