    Norwegian Bagel
    Emily S.

    Best ever bagel sandwich- we went back twice. Really fresh ingredients and fair prices. Service was really friendly and welcoming as well!

    Vegan BLT bagel

    Small Mart made for a cozy little breakfast stop. It's all vegan--so not my usual go-to--but it definitely did the trick. I had the garlic bagel with cream cheese and a latte, and it all hit the spot. If you're nearby, it's a great place to grab a quick and satisfying bite in the morning.

    Cute place in the Bywater. Have driven by it many times as my niece goes to school two blocks away but have never stopped in. Decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. Amazing staff and wonderful bagels. Got the Philly and that bagel was AMAZING. That bagel shop on Freret used to be my fave but Small Mart is my new spot. Small seating area (maybe 20 people can sit inside). They offer juices and have a coffee shop inside too. This place is perfect for the Bywater area. Lots of foot traffic especially on the weekends.

    A great little food (mostly bagels) spot! I love to get my haircut next door at Bandit. Then, come here to enjoy an espresso (from Pond) and a bagel from Small Mart with my fresh new due. Check out their social media for the pop up markets that's located just outside on select Saturday's. Lots of bagel flavors & spreads! Highly recommend. I had the Gringo which was very fresh and tasty. Very helpful / friendly staff too !

    The Chum
    Sarah S.

    This is such a gem! We came in for some coffee and bagels to get our morning started. This is in walking distance of JamNola which was our destination today. I ordered "The Chum" on an everything bagel, which had smoked salmon, apple and onion. This was so good, refreshing and filling. We loved the service and enjoyed looking at the bulletin board of local businesses and artists while we waited!

    Love Small Mart!! The best chai in Nola and always excellent for vegetarian treats. Love the veggie fritters, samosas and bagels. Super nice people and a convenient coffee shop type atmosphere.

    Norwegian bagel sandwich.

    I had a great bagel sandwich at Small Mart! One of the best I've had in NOLA recently. I got the Norwegian bagel sandwich and it was really delicious! Huge and the bagel was great too. Super friendly service and the inside is so cute too. I will definitely be back!

    Small Mart is a great place for breakfast or lunch! Very cute spot, very friendly people. Share a space with pond coffee which I love! Ordered a New Yorker and it was good, but not my favorite. Heavy on the capers (which I liked! But a matter of preference) and heavy cream cheese. Bagel tasted a bit stale--wouldn't pick it over other bagel spots in the city especially given that it was more expensive. I'm still excited to come back and try their non-bagel food--the vegan options look great.

    Samosa

    This restaurant was a surprising find for me that I noticed upon walking by. I feel sorry for them, in that the street in front of their store is presently being torn up and replaced. You could argue that might date this review, and knowing New Orleans, I expect that a shiny new surface will be in place by 2050. For right now, I would park on one of the main roads and walk here. Bywater is one of my favorite neighborhoods to eat in, but not to drive through. The food is a mix of bagel sandwiches and Indian fast food. While the bagels did look appealing, I went for a samosa and a chai. The chai packed a nice black pepper punch on top of a rich mix of spices (and not sugar). My samosa was quite excellent, with some cashews mixed into the pea and potato filling and a mango chutney on the side. You can eat in, if you're not claustrophobic; they've taken what used to be a nice dining area (for Bao and Noodle, if memory serves, which has since moved to yet another spot) and plopped an espresso bar in the middle of it, leaving very little space for actual customers (to be fair, you can't say they didn't warn you, what with the name and all). The sign says vegetarian, which this restaurant isn't quite (offering some sort of fish as a bagel topping), but it's certainly a welcome addition to the scene and may very well be the best place to get a samosa in New Orleans.

    I seriously need to revisit this place and try all the things located in this cute little vegan cafe tucked away in the Bywater. They have a really nice menu selection from chaat bowls to lox bagels to tuna salads. I made my own bagel combination with the onion bagel and salmon spread. The spread tasted mostly of cream cheese but the onion itself was really flavorful with a nice chewy texture. My friend's chaat bowl was also really yummy with its chickpeas, veggies and "wet sauce". The orders came out hot and fresh and ready for the taking.

    The New Yorker
    Kim D.

    Let me just say the service was impeccable! From the moment I entered I was greeted with a smile. I'd been recommended here for their bagel sandwiches (especially the Salmon Lox, which they call The New Yorker). I was starving and it came out very fast. The server even cleared off a table for me when he saw I had a laptop and possible work to do. The sandwich was stacked with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, tomato, & onion. I chose the onion bagel. The sandwich was a bit salty, not sure if it was the salmon or the abundance of capers. Other than that, I really enjoyed my experience & hope to return soon, but much earlier to try the coffee shop too.

    If you want the best bagel in town, stop here. I can't recommend this place enough. Also, the owner is an absolute angel of a human.

    Great service every time you visit. One side is coffee (Pond), one side is food (Small Mart). There are indoor and outdoor seating options.

    During a Yelp Spring Break barcrawl, we stopped at the veggie fest after party. We LOVED the…read moreburlesque show they put on, so much so that we actually came back the next day to see another one of their shows. There was also good jazz band before the burlesque, but unfortunately the sound system during that part was way too loud. Outside of the after party, they were serving an AMAZING vegan jambalaya made with a grain based sausage for just $5, all proceeds going to the Humane Society. It ended up being one of my favorite meals in NOLA -- I wished I could've eaten a second plate of that stuff! We checked out the actual veggie fest the next day. There was a very interesting unprocessed food demo and talk by chef AJ. She made a couple different raw snacks using no salt, sugar, or oil, and passed out samples after each demo. Everything was delicious! Inside the large vendor area there were many different businesses with fliers and samples. There was also a stand selling fresh, all-natural fruit juice for only $3, but man, that was not tasty stuff. Totally devoid of sweetness, heh. Loved the beautiful chickens at the a bird rescue booth! I just wish there were more cooked food vendors. At my veggie fest back home, the food vendors are the highlight, with a taste-of-chicago-style tickets system for purchasing small tasting portions from any of a dozen different vendors. At NOLA Veggie Fest, there only seemed to be three of them outside in the parking lot, including a falafel truck and some kind of pizza booth. Tsai, Carmo, Green Goddess, etc should've had booths there!

    Went to Veggie Fest, held at The Zeitgeist, this year. Great resource for vegetarians/vegans in the…read moreNew Orleans area. Tons of product vendors with samples, many food establishments (restaurants, cafes, juice bars, etc.) repping their places, several people offering health-rated services (yoga, spiritual work, nutritionists), with most everyone offering a "festival discount". There were musical, dance and film offerings, as well as seminars and speakers concerning a decent array of topics, all pretty much touching on the values of a plant-based diet. They also had a raffle with a silent auction and a bookstore. Totally worth the entrance fee.
