“Small Mart is my favorite place to eat in New Orleans. The owner and all the staff are absolutely lovely, kind humans who make all feel welcome and create a place that always feels good to be. We're vegan and have so many options, it's fantastic. But there are plenty of non- vegan options as well. The vegan veggie cream cheese on a toasted everything bagel will blow your mind! The tofu and spinach bagel is fresh, simple and super tasty. And the pakora poboy is just absolutely not to be missed. (Served after 12p). And if there are baked goods in the case, don't sleep on them, because wow every time!
Also, I'm not sure if I can leave a seperate review for Pond Coffee (which operates inside the same space) so just in case I can't, they're amazing as well! Completely lovely people and their coffee is delicious! The cortado with oat milk and extra vanilla is a treat!
Check this place out. You'll be so glad you found it.“
