Orchard Grocer Information

If you’re strolling through the Lower East Side and find yourself in need of a bite, you can’t go wrong with a stop at Orchard Grocer. This cozy, plant-based cafe and market serves up a variety of vegan comfort foods with a twist.

The atmosphere at Orchard Grocer strikes that perfect balance between casual and inviting.

It’s a place where you can grab a quick bite or settle in for a leisurely lunch.

The menu is where Orchard Grocer really shines. You’ll find a variety of plant-based options, from sandwiches to salads to hearty bowls, all designed to make you feel good while satisfying your taste buds. One standout dish is their take on a classic deli sandwich-imagine a vegan "turkey" piled high with all the fixings, served on fresh, crusty bread. The flavors are spot on, and you’ll quickly forget it’s all plant-based. For something a bit lighter, their kale salad with avocado and a tangy dressing is a refreshing choice that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

The space doubles as a small market too, with shelves stocked with snacks, ingredients, and other vegan goodies. If you’re looking to take home something special, this little market has some unique finds that are hard to resist.

Whether you're ordering at the counter or sitting down to enjoy your meal, you're met with a smile and helpful suggestions. The pace is casual, which is ideal for a spot like this-it’s not fast food, but it’s not so leisurely that you’ll feel like you're waiting forever.

If you’re a fan of vegan cuisine or just looking to try something new in the city, Orchard Grocer is worth checking out. With its excellent food, laid-back atmosphere, and friendly service, it’s a place you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again.

What People's Say About Place

Loved their Vegan Soft Serve. My husband got me to surprise me and at first I couldn’t believe it’s an all vegan shop. They had so many Plant Based Products from Chocolates to cheese, I was amazed. Have a small three seating with the view of street and you can sit there and enjoy your Vanilla + Pistachio soft serve. 10/10 for the food

Situated in lower east side Manhattan, this place is an all-vegan store that serves food, drinks, and dessert. I've ordered the Marlowe sandwich and the NY cream doughnut. The sandwich was tasty and the sauce was good. I'm not the biggest fan of rye bread but the sandwich was good :) I've enjoyed the NY cream doughnut as well. I also bought Louisville Jerky and saw many different vegan chocolates I don't think I've seen before.

What a place! For a vegan Eastern European, it is like a peace of heaven! I have been dreaming for vegan bagels since i came to NYC and the Orchard Grocer was 10 min away. The bagels are amazing! Fresh and delicious. The shop has so many vegan goodies i wish I had an extra suitcase to bring one of everything home. Next time I am booking the same hotel just to be close to the Orchard Grocer again!

It was great to find in all vegan place in Manhattan that served breakfast and lunch sandwiches. We also enjoyed the soft serve ice cream. Sandwiches were tasty but a little messy. Would definitely come back!

We stopped into Orchard Grocer, an all vegan grocery store & sandwich/ice cream counter, on a rainy afternoon & weren’t disappointed. We had a cup of the vanilla soft serve & ordered the Georgina sandwich, a tasty vegan fried chik’n creation, to split for lunch. Their inventory had a lot of items I haven’t seen in other traditional grocery stores/health food sections. The world needs a lot more establishments like Orchard Grocer! Go vegan!

Great spot for food-to-go with tasty vegan sandwiches. Peanut butter vanilla ice-creamis awesome! Limited indoor seating, but there’s outdoor seating where the atmosphere is lively in summer evenings, surrounded by other bars and restaurants. Also great vegan grocery!

Did you say VEGAN grocer?! Woo hoo!The grocer has a quite the variety especially in a very small space. The deli is amazing. My son says the soft serve was also, he hasnt had it in so long because it is so hard to find vegan soft serve. Yes he ate it in 30s degree weather.

I don’t know the girls name but I came on 18th September around 10:30, but I ordered the Mac and cheese and it was so good and she was so nice in helping me find a nearby bathroom! I wanted to go to Dudley’s but their lack of vegan options was disappointing. But so happy found this place.
