Orchard Grocer is a vegan deli on the LES that makes some pretty great plant-based ice cream. Pair a chick’n caesar wrap with cookie dough soft serve, or follow your cobb salad sandwich with a strawberry soft serve topped with housemade magic shell. It’s the sort of spot where you could bring someone who eats meat every day and then watch their meat-loving brain shift. Keep it in mind for a quick lunch powered by plants, and always order the soft serve.
