elite! phenomenal customer service! food and beverage is outstanding! if in nola, you need to experience this wonderful spot!

AMAZING is the only way I can begin to describe my experience at BMP & GRND, a fabulous matcha café in an incredible location right on the edge of the CBD and the French Quarter. From the Sheraton on Canal, it was an easy eight-minute wheelchair roll to this hidden gem. In fact, I had passed it a few times because it does not have a visible sign yet, and the address listed online can be a little confusing (the actual location is 419 Carondelet, not 410). Once I found it, though, the experience was absolutely worth the search. The moment I entered through the flat glass doors, I was greeted by a clean, chic, and inviting space. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between modern and comfortable. And let me tell you, the three sisters behind the counter were absolutely PHINE! Beyond their beauty, they were warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. Their energy made the visit even better. I ordered the Veggie Drop Sandwich and the Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast, minus the avocado (not my thing). After a quick roll back to the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised: the food was still warm, portions were generous, and everything was delicious. What an amazing find. Every once in a while, a content creator recommendation actually delivers, and this one was right on the money. Another great stop added to the adventure. #tysadventures26 #bmpgrnd #NOLA #BlackOwned read more

I really wanted to love this place, and I still believe it has the potential to become one of my favorites. I've visited twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast, and each time I was excited by the atmosphere. Today, I returned to try the Chantilly matcha latte and the classic egg drop sandwich. Unfortunately, the Chantilly matcha was not available, so I opted for the strawberry matcha latte instead, which turned out to be fantastic. The breakfast sandwich was also delicious. The decor is stunning, and I loved the music. The lighting, thoughtfully selected fixtures, and furniture create a warm, cozy, and moody ambiance. It's a space that truly appeals to the senses. While the flavors and atmosphere shine, the service and overall organization could use some improvement. During both visits, I was not greeted upon entering, nor was I given any guidance on how to order. The only question I was asked was, "What's your name?" There was also no mention of seasonal specials. Placing my order and waiting for my food took quite a while. I understand the menu notes that wait times may be up to 45 minutes because everything is cooked to order. However, that seems excessive for items such as sandwiches, toast, and lattes. I also noticed staff refilling whipped topping while other baristas moved at a slow pace. Restocking should ideally be completed before busy hours rather than during peak service. Additionally, writing customers' names on cups or containers would help staff identify orders more efficiently. I noticed some confusion about who had ordered what. Branding on cups and containers would also be a nice touch. Mine, along with several others, was plain, even though I have seen branded packaging featured on social media. Consistently incorporating those details could further elevate the customer experience. I hope this feedback is helpful because I genuinely want to see Black-owned businesses thrive and grow. read more

Was so excited to try it and wanted to love it, but it missed the mark for us :( I went to try the Chantilly matcha which they didn't have. And, although we had been in line a while, by the time we got up to the register they said they stopped serving food 5 minutes ago (it was over 30 minutes before close). Matcha was okay and the strawberry refresher was extremely sweet. read more

I stopped by on a Sunday morning, but the line was out the door, so I decided to return the next day. I originally wanted to try their espresso, but the machine was down, so I went with the brown sugar cinnamon matcha instead, and I'm glad I did because it was delicious. I also ordered the salmon toast and the French toast egg sandwich, and both were fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. Even though I missed out on the espresso this time, the food and matcha made for a good visit. read more

Was here visiting from California and had to stop in to get my coffee fix a couple of times. The sandwiches were a hit and had the latte on one visit and the strawberry matcha on the next the both didn't disappoint. Service was long but that just shows you how popular they are. The coffee shop was small but well designed and easily located. It didn't disappoint. read more

Came here for the first time during Essence Fest weekend so of course there was a line outside. The line moved quickly and one of the servers made sure to check on everyone in line and provide cold waters to everyone, which is 10/10 service already. Since it was Essence fest, they had a condensed menu but came for the amazing egg sandwich. Lovely and slick space on the inside. The egg sandwich was just as good as it looked. Made to order. Fresh and filling. Will definitely be a regular. read more

BMP & GRND has nested their new home on Carondelet, previously homed Yo Nashi. The aesthetic of luxury greets you upon entry. They still have the same counter bar set up but now serves breakfast. I only ordered the egg drop sand which I thought was tasty. Soft scramble eggs, crispy bacon, a slice of American cheese hugged between two buttery toasts drizzled with this spicy sauce. Idk if it's spicy mayo, tastes like it lol they serve matchas, refreshers, and coffee. Limited menu. Staff was so nice! Wait time was about 30 mins. Definitely would come again. Only issue was the line flow. It caused confusion and was a cramped. Overall, would return! read more

I ordered the ultimate banana pudding matcha and it was delicious! They ran out of the cold foam but the banana pudding on top of the matcha incredible. Also ordered the classic egg drop and it was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The brioche bread takes it to a whole other level! I do wish they had signage on the door because I walked past the shop at first. Overall amazing experience and great food! read more

Rating: 9.5/10 One of the better cafes in the CBD, Bmp & Grnd is a new business serving an array of specialty items in the shop. It's got a beautiful aesthetic and a great ambiance inside. The baristas were great with service and ordering. I was able to try the Egg Drop sandwich ($15), brown sugar matcha ($9) and the famous banana pudding ($7). Everything was so delicious. The breakfast sandwich bread was so soft and the sauce that's on it is so good. The only downside is parking, typical of the area. But it's worth it to get the food! read more

Great black-owned and black-female-operated coffee shop in the heart of the Central Business District. My friends and I were staying at the Residence Inn in the Central Business District and wanted to find a coffee shop that also served food within walking distance, and I'm glad we were able to find Bmp & Grnd! The cafe is small, but it does have some seating throughout. I am not a coffee drinker, so I can't give a personal review on the drinks, but my friends are and said their drinks were delicious! I went for food, and I'm glad I did! I had the Breakfast Burrito, and it was delicious and large! Definitely worth the price. I ended up having to save the other half for the next morning. My friend ordered the Egg Drop and raved about it as well. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was inviting. They had steady customers coming in, but the wait wasn't bad at all. Service was great and quick. Highly recommend if you're in the area! When I return to NOLA, I'd definitely come here again. read more

Fast service! Cute little shop with a nice chill atmosphere. We stopped by BMP & Grnd for breakfast, and it was the perfect way to start the day. The breakfast sandwich was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor without feeling too heavy. Paired with a smooth, well-balanced latte, it was exactly what I needed before exploring the city. I'd definitely make this a repeat stop on my next trip to New Orleans. read more

New Black-owned coffee shop in the CBD is a must try. I recently heard about this spot on Instagram and decided to give it a try Saturday morning after the gym with my friend. Was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, this is not your average coffee shop. This place is giving high end coffee and breakfast spot, the ambiance is beautiful, I mean what coffee spot you know that has a chandelier. We decided to get the berry Chantilly coffee, breakfast burrito, and hot honey avocado toast. Everything was delicious. The eggs in the burrito were so fluffy and cooked to perfection. They did have a line so be prepared to wait. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend giving this place a try next time you're in the CBD. Be prepared to pay to park read more

I went about three weeks after they opened so maybe they have increased staffing, but the one drawback of this place is how long you have to wait when it gets busy. Also, it is small, so it's best if you are prepared to take your food and drink to go. I didn't get food, but everything that was prepared while I was waiting looked and smelled good. All the food is made right in front of you so you can see they don't take any short cuts. I got the iced brown sugar iced latte and it was really good. I also enjoyed the cold foam on top. Writing this review reminds me that I need to get back here. read more

*New downtown coffee shop alert* Bmp & Grind is a new coffee shop and cafe. The space is very cute and modern. Excellent service. I've tried two of their speciality lattes and both were excellent. The iced chantilly latte and the banana pudding latte . Small but mighty menu. The breakfast burrito was also fantastic, fresh and made to order. Look forward to trying out new items as the coffee shop continues to expand their menu. read more

Oooh, that banana pudding latte I loved the energy in this up and coming coffee shop! The folks seemed to be passionate about the food and drinks they serve, and the vibe was nice. It's not necessarily the best place to study, but swinging through for a quick breakfast or coffee fix is definitely a good idea! I look forward to extended hours from them as they grow! Be prepared to pay for parking! read more

Service was great even being so busy so get there early. Parking limited and its the location. Food Egg drop 10. burrito 9 only because it needs the sauce thats on the egg drop to make it a 12. Matcha's when they find away to blend the toppings in the entire drink boom they gonna take over even more. Add meat options turkey,shrimp.. probably to small of a spot for it now but definitely once they move doubt they be in that spot long business is booming read more

This is not a Starbucks. Do not come here expecting to be in and out. It took 15 minutes to get my egg drop sandwich from the time I placed my order. The matcha took about 5. That did not include time waiting in line This place is about quality, and they take their time. The place is small, basically a hallway with a good amount of seating. I can't imagine if this place was packed. I came at a great time. The music was a vibe, chill, relaxing. The aesthetic is great, very upscale and chic. The menu is via QR code. You order at the counter and sit or go. Everything is made when you order. The matcha was delicious! I got the banana pudding with almond milk. There were a lot of steps to make it, but at least it served as entertainment while I waited. The egg drop sandwich was an egg sandwich, nothing too crazy. The sauce on it gave a good kick. It was cooked well, but omg, it took forever. I hope this place does well, but they've got to get more quick menu items. It's the CBD. Not that many people have 15-20 minutes to wait for food. Perhaps being able to order ahead will help. All in all, when I do have time again, I'll be back. read more

Really love the atmosphere and ambiance in here. I didn't get coffee today but will definitely be back to give their matcha a try. I can see it getting crowded during peak coffee hrs but I came a bit before 11 and it was really chill with lots of open seats. What bought me in was the egg drop sandwich and it's a solid 4/5. I do think it's a bit overpriced for a simple egg sandwich but it is a solid egg sandwich on taste. Music selection was amazing too. read more

Omg..... I have no words for this place. I genuinely drank this and felt extreme happiness no lie I almost never drive downtown but I am willing to make the trek for this place! I will say that the store is a bit on the smaller side so it's more of a pick up and go. They forgot our sandwhich and we had to remind them but the matcha was so bomb we weren't even mad! Everything here was delish! read more

I visited the location during the week at 7 am. The staff were very polite and it was easy to order. I waited about 10 mins to receive my sandwich and matcha and it was worth it. Everything was fresh and the matcha was well blended and had no grainy taste. The layout was beautiful and clean. I would recommend to give it a try. My order included a brown sugar cinnamon match (no ice; hence the reason for cup size) and a egg drop sandwich (no cheese and sauce on the side). The sandwich was perfect! Not sure if adding the sauce would have taken it up a notch since I forgot all about it! read more

A new black coffee shop opened up so you know I had to try. Now right off the bat I have to mention this is the CBD, there is no parking. Fortunately I was able to park just a block away. When I walked in I was surprised this Wallis a very small spot, not really a spot to sit down and lounge or study in. Now I went here late so breakfast was done already but I was able to get my lattes. I got the brown sugar matcha and the brown sugar cinnamon latte for my sister. The service didn't take too long. Yeah it was slower than a chain coffee shop but that's what I expect from a local shop so don't go in there rushing. Now both the matcha and the latte were good. The latte was better in my opinion. But this was a cute nice shop. I definitely need to go back to try the egg drop. read more

I recently visited BMP & Grnd in Nola and had a solid experience overall, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. The line was pretty long, so prepare to wait a while for your order. Everything seemed fresh, from the ingredients to the overall quality. The egg drop sandwich was good and satisfying. I really liked the brown sugar latte, which was flavorful but not too sweet, exactly how I prefer it. The banana pudding matcha had the banana pudding overpowering the matcha, so if you're looking for that matcha taste it's not the one for you, though the nice and friendly staff helped make the wait more pleasant. read more

Stumbled upon this cute new spot. My husband and I originally were just going to order a couple lattes but then saw other people with their food and had to order the same. First off, all their syrups are in-house! That right there won us over. None of that store-bought Monin/Torani syrup crap. We ordered the banana pudding latte and chantilly latte. Both 5/5. Next, the food. We ordered the egg drop sandwich and hot honey avocado toast. BOMB. Everything, 5/5. BMP&GRND is clearly an establishment that cares about what they make and how they make it. You can just taste it in their drinks and their food. We'll be coming back before we leave town! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place! It was right around the corner of our hotel in CBD area so I visited like 3 times in the course of my vacay! First off, banana pudding latte, just get it!!!!!! Amazing! I also had to try their matcha so I did the chantilly berry one, also so good definitely get if you are into matcha. All syrups are house made. I had the breakfast sandwich as well which was super yummy, they cook the eggs so fluffy and the bread is fresh and delicious. Hot honey avocado toast was also great. Love the sweet and spicy touch with the hot honey. They are a black woman owned cafe and the owner and her mom were so sweet! We had a fun convo about dirty Diana lol All the ladies working were so nice! I wish this business all the success in the world! They just opened a couple months ago, Please go visit if in the area. read more
