The coffee and service were great! However, I was under the impression that this was a dog-friendly place. I came in holding my 11 lb Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and wasn’t acknowledged regarding my dog, which was fine — until another customer came in with their dog. The staff immediately offered them complimentary dog treats from the counter, but nothing was mentioned or offered to me.
The same staff member who served me even looked over after giving the other dog a treat, but didn’t say anything to me, which left me a little confused. I didn’t want to make it awkward by asking, but I’d love to know if there was a reason for that.
Overall, I really enjoyed the coffee and the service otherwise, but that small moment made me feel a bit left out. I’ll give this a 4-star rating for now, just because it could make other dog owners feel the same way. Maybe I just misunderstood how dog-friendly this place is!

This place is a must stop! Fantastic coffee and bagels! I got an iced latte with honey and a Plain bagel with Sun dried tomato cream cheese. Felt like a spot where the locals go and the vibes are lovely!

My go to coffee shop. Great baristas and the best espresso in town plus a walk up window to order with your pup!

One of the best coffee shops in nola. They make a killer flat white and you don’t have to stress about which barista you get cause they all seem to know what they doing.
I came here because of a recommendation, and I am SO glad I did. Customer service was exceptional, baristas were incredibly friendly. It's located in a small mini mart with a bagel/deli type establishment. I believe they get their coffee from Pretty Coffee. I ordered a plain drip and a hot vanilla latte. They have whole and oat milk, and offer vanilla, lavender, maple and mocha syrups. Drip is very smooth and has a nice mouth feel. Espresso is very good as well. Milk texture on my latte was perfect. I also ordered a bag of their coffee. You get a card for a free coffee when you buy their coffee beans.

I don’t understand the hype. We walked a good distance to try this coffee and it was BURNT to a crisp. Not sure if that is their style, but it was not my cup of tea. Very cool little place in a unique neighborhood, but the coffee was very average. Great for vegans though with their food options!

Pond in Small Mart is a great cafe, with super coffee, expert crafters and friendly personable service. The bagel counter, also inside has terrific options as well (separate business, I'd also rate as excellent).I haven't been here in six months but the barista who I recognized remembered my drink. Now this might be because I was an annoying customer or dropped my dishes (I didn't) but is an example of someone who pays attention, cares about their work, and is invested in what they do so well. Top notch

To all the baristas who make weak coffee, to most cafés that have a professional coffee machine but don’t know how to make a proper cappuccino, and to everyone working at Starbucks whose only skill seems to be making a boiling hot cappuccino with half a cup of airy, tasteless foam—go take a proper training course instead. Learn how to make a perfect cappuccino, and while you're at it, pick up some latte art skills too!
