A Prime Sandwich Spot!

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!

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.

1/25/24--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

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

Delicious sandwich, The Miles

I stopped by for a croissant sandwich. I decided on The Miles.
It was just what I was craving for and more. It sure was very satisfying.

Stop by when you are in the city.

Pros: 100% vegan, Local business , Many choices of vegan stables

Good for breakfast

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.

Vegan soft serve - say less

I always visit here when I’m in the city and I love to see all the new things to try! The other side is an all vegan shoe/accessories store.

Pros: Local small batch options , Affordable (some things)

Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in nyc

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

I loved having a browse of the mini vegan grocery store they’ve got going on there, a lot of options.

The 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

I had perhaps the best breakfast sandwich of my life here. I’d 100% recommend visiting the deli here, getting a soft serve ice cream, and some vegan goods to go as well.

Pros: Incredible deli food, Delicious soft serve , Vegan grocer

Pros: Deli and grocery combo , Absolutely delish, Friendly staff

Cons: Not many seating possibilities

Oh, the croissant sandwich!

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!
The grocery section is very complete and with many healthy options.

Classic New York Bagel

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.

Their 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!

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.

The staff is friendly and the store has a nice stock of vegan goodies, such as chocolates, gummies, etc.

My first NY bagel!

I had my first New York bagel here, it was the carrot lox bagel. Absolutely delicious and messy. It was great. I love the store and the fact that it's next to Moo Shoes.

Pros: A vegan oasis, The deli serves fantastic food

Cons: Small

Good soft serve

The strawberry soft serve won’t disappoint. It can be especially refreshing on a hot day.

It’s cashew based so allergenics beware

Orchard Grocer

OMG their vegan croissant sandwich (the Miles?) was so good I nearly died. Instead, I just burned my mouth so bad because the sandwich was so delicious I couldn't wait for it to cool down (it was served very hot). It took all the willpower in the world to avoid going to Orchard Grocery every day for more of this amazing sandwich. 😋

PS- Their vegan grocery selection is AMAZING. It's like this place is Vegan Heaven.

Really good grilled cheese and even better soft serve. Nice to browse the shoes and clothes next door and then grab a bite.😄
