I LOVE bagels. It's a well known fact about me. Small Mart makes exceptional bagels, and the most creative bagel sandwiches. I ordered the chum bagel which pairs lox with apple slices. It has to be one of my favorite breakfast items I've had this week in Nola. One more note-they have many vegetarian and vegan options! Typically I am neither, but I think vegetarians and vegans would find a dish to love here. This shop is small, but there is lots of seating indoors and outside. You order food at one bar, and the coffee at the other. Everyone here is so personable and was so kind to chat with me about the menu when I was torn between many options. They have a bathroom that was very clean. I can tell the food and drinks here are made with love. It is a little walk from the French Quarter, but it is a walk well worth it. read more

It's difficult to say how much I loved this place. The staff were super friendly. I had a NY bagel and the Curry of the Day. Both delicious. The bagel was overloaded with fresh everything. The curry was a lentil veggie curry with huge pieces of butternut squash. The bathroom was nice! I know that's unusual to say but it was a large tiled room, clean and decorated. Loved it. They share the space with Pond, a fancy coffee spot. Next time I'll have to go when Pond is there but it was a bit late in the day. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I talked to some of the staff members yesterday and went back this morning to grab a bagel. I chose a blueberry bagel and followed the staff's recommendation to get honey walnut cream cheese. They certainly didn't screw up on the schmear. It was just filling enough and not so big that I will feel stuffed. The location is perfect for me, and the shop is small, but clean and adequate. I will certainly go back again. read more

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 ! read more

Delicious, it is my go-to for salmon bagels. And I always receive great customer service.

I enjoy their scallion cream cheese on multi-grain bagel! Very tasty!! I rarely go there, but its always a treat. My doggie teddy bear loves cream cheese like my first doggie Bozo going there. I will take teddy bear with me the next time I go to small mart for a bagel. See you soon!! read more

Great food, amazing staff, and an entire wall of events around the neighborhood! It's a classic space and much roomier than the old location. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I visited Small Mart twice during my most recent one night stay in New Orleans, and I gotta say - very solid spot! The first time we slipped in, it was like thirty minutes to closing so the counter person said she could only fix up some vegetable curry for us. We were fine with that suggestion, and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the curry was really quite delicious! Just slightly spicy, but the veggies were well cooked and I believe there was chickpeas in the mix. I suppose I was suggesting something rather basic and bland, but naw, I would definitely happily eat it again! Was definitely a hearty meal and then some. The next morning we returned and opted to try some of the bagel sandwiches. I don't quite remember which one I opted for, but it was one of the vegan ones . . . and like, the fact there was a fully vegan bagel sandwich without any substitutions or modifications thrilled me more than it probably should have . . . Anyway, can confirm that my two friends and I very much enjoyed our bagel sandwiches. Granted, the order took forever and a day to prepare, but it was a rather busy Sunday morning. As you can probably garner by the the name, this is a rather "small" spot, so I wouldn't necessarily plan on sitting here and enjoying your goodies, unless you come during an off hour. I also opted for a zucchini loaf to go and oh boy, that was hella tasty too! read more

I waited to review this place after visiting a couple times. Every time was great! The bagels are very good. I've tried pumpernickel and an everything bagel. They don't waste day old bagels by throwing them out like a lot of other places. Instead, they sell their day old bagels for cheaper! If you get it toasted (which why would you not get a bagel toasted anyway?) you can't even taste a difference. The Norwegian on pumpernickel was amazing!! It's my favorite!! They also have an awesome menu of cream cheeses and their humus is very fresh. I would recommend to anyone looking for breaksfast, brunch, lunch, or a snack! Service is always wonderful! It's a very cozy and welcoming place to eat at. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Small Mart is a gem of a spot in the Marigny that serves a wonderful selection of drinks (Pond Coffee), breakfast foods, and lunch items until early afternoon. I've visited twice in the last couple of months and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. In March, we had carryout of toasted everything bagels. I got mine with tofu cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, and red onion. My friend went with plain dairy cream cheese. The bagels were fresh with a crispy exterior and chewy interior. Delicious! Before visiting last week, I saw on social media that Small Mart was offering a vegan egg, cheese, and (carrot) bacon bagel sandwich and homemade chai. I had to try them! The filling sandwich was a phenomenal start to the day. The chai was a bit strong for my own taste but you could tell it used real tea and spices (made in house). Another special that looked amazing was the vegan muffaletta. I've not tried their lunch offerings yet but friends who live in the neighborhood rave about them. I've earmarked Small Mart for a lunch on my next visit. read more

You know what? If someone tells you that you can't get a good bagel outside of New York/New Jersey, just go ahead and call them a liar! So I MIGHT have been one of those people once but I've seen the light and the source of that light is Small Mart in the Marigny. I already have extolled the virtues of their vegan po-boy and yes, I'm so deeply grateful that if and when I'm in the mood for one, I can walk a few blocks and get one. But their bagels are also divine and I saw too late that they have vegan cream cheese, but that's OK because their bagel sandwich with hummus, lettuce, tomato and avocado is the bees knees. Everything, actually. Everything bagels! This visit was at the end of their typical lunch rush so no lines, easy peasy. Small Mart, thank you for existing and giving us vegan/vegetarian options that are so damned good. Note: They have salmon for the diehard pescatarians needing their lox fix. read more

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. read more

People and places like this are confirmation of why I moved to this city. Bryant is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was so patient explaining everything to me and convinced me to sit and eat instead of taking my food to go which I needed to do because I need to slow down in life in general. And had I taken it to go I wouldn't have been able to truly enjoy how delicious it was! Omg definitely one of the best bagels I've had ever but the star of the show was the house made cashew based cream cheese WOW! Bryant suggested to mix it with their sun dried tomato spread and I'll be thinking of that all week until I return next Saturday lol I made my own creation with that and cucumber, onion and basil and my taste buds are so happy. Their chai is also as good as everyone says! I'm so glad that I found this place. read more

I was having a meeting in the neighborhood and was looking for a veggie-friendly place and came across Small Mart Cafe so decided to check it out. I ordered through the walk up window and then waited outside for my food; the menu was also posted on the walk up window. The menu has a lot of South-Asian inspired dishes with pakora, samosas and other South-Asian based cuisine. i ordered the Taaza Salad and the poboy - which could come with pakora it's tofu and i choose tofu. the tofu poboy was 1) very big and filling and 2) was really good with great flavor. The taaza salad was alright - it was also a huge portion but there was WAAAYY too much turmeric powder added and it overpowered everything Overall good food if you are looking for South-Asian inspired veggie food read more

This place is awesome! It regrettably took me a while to try it and now I can't stop thinking about it. The woman who took our order was super friendly, the ambiance is chill, and the food is a-mazing! My friend & I tried both the Gringo and the Vegan L.B.T. on everything bagels for our first visit. We loved the Gringo so much, we ordered two Gringos to go for our beach day-trip the next day before we even left the store. They had a lot of regular customers who came in while we were there. Can't wait to go back and try more food - they said their vegetarian snacks get swiped up pretty quickly! read more

As a vegetarian having just moved here, this place is a godsend. Vegetarian, healthy, and well-priced is a trifecta hard to come by in New Orleans. For my first visit, I had a curry for $6 that was authentic and absolutely delicious. I also tried a housemaid bagel with chive and scallion cream cheese. The cheese was absolutely stacked with scallions. Both items were scrumptious. It's certainly a grab-and-go kind of a place, not somewhere to sit down and enjoy a meal. Luckily I am a 10-minute walk from here, and I anticipate many many visits to come over the years. read more

This is a lovely place for getting snacks and breakfast. I no longer eat bagels but I've had his Indian food and it's delicious. Brian is a talented chef and so sincere and even his banana nut walnut bread is very very tasty! It's a cute and cozy interior which I finally saw last week. Previously during the pandemic it was window service only. They did amazing precautions to remain in business throughout the pandemic and I commend them for that. But back to the food, the samosas and samosa chat are both delicious! Chutneys are on point and Brian can remember your food allergies and preferences like a steel trap! And before I forget, there is a cute little coffee shop next-door that's kind of attached. So it expands your options. Bon appetit! read more

I just have to re-review Small Mart bc it is my absolute FAVORITE and I so appreciate all their wonderful Vegan options, friendly and efficient staff, and affordable prices. Today, my sister and I stopped at Small Mart and got the vegan poboy with pakora and the samosa chat with curry sauce (I requested no cilantro on either bc my sister hates cilantro). Everything came out quickly and perfect and was so delicious!!! We took it over to Crescent Park and enjoyed it on the swings. It was a lovely picnic! We had so much food, I even had leftovers to enjoy later. Thank you, Small Mart for being so absolutely wonderful!!! I so appreciate having you in the neighborhood! A+++, 20/10 Stars, 200% wonderful, would HIGHLY recommend! read more

Discovered Small Mart when I was in NOLA last year. I would often run in for a fresh bagel with their delicious vegan cream cheese. I'm not vegan but I really love that cream cheese. This year, I brought a friend along to NOLA. Her first time here. She's a vegetarian, so I took her to Small Mart for lunch. I had the Norwegian sandwich: smoked salmon, cucumber, onion, chive and scallion cream cheese on a sesame bagel. Soooo good! My friend had the veggie curry bowl. Absolutely loved it! There is also a coffee bar. We arrived after it had closed at, I think, 2.00. Stop by and try Small Mart. You won't be disappointed. read more

tldr; nice spot to get some work done, even if it's a little tight. they have a barista bar and hot food. beware the barista closes before the kitchen. full review: work from home has made coffee shops pretty essential and small mart isn't sitting on its laurels. when you walk in you've got two options. made to order bites or a stand-alone barista counter. personally, i'm not a coffee guy but there was no shortage of orders. they have an assortment of hot food but i don't really deviate from my order. the salmon with lox bagel and the samosas. the salmon bagel is a little pricey but when it comes you'll understand why. loaded up with salmon, tomatoes, cream cheese, and capers, it's a sight to behold. i usually get hot sauce on mine but do you. i'm partial to the veggie samosas and the breading is perfect. flaky and crispy with a perfect amount of filling. choose between three sauces (chutney, an aioli, and a spicy green sauce) you'll always be satisfied. my personal favorite is the chutney/spicy green sauce combo. there's space to hang out and work but not much. however, every time i've been i've had no problem finding a seat to work. people really come and go. read more

tl;dr New York bagels (seriously, they are boiled in NYC and then baked here) with a super thick schmear at a great price. Plus, vegetarian and vegan lunch offerings? Who would of thought such a well curated convenience store could come in such a small package. I was looking for a grab and go breakfast in the area on Yelp and saw this place pop up for bagels and I was intrigued. With super positive reviews I knew we had to check it out (Yelp rarely steers me wrong). Hot damn! A huge variety of bagels welcomed us when we entered. Poppy seed, everything, egg, cinnamon raisin, blueberry, whole wheat and more. Cream cheese options included original, chive and scallion, curry, honey walnut, sun-dried tomato, pesto, jalapeño and more. Plus, make it a whole sandwich with smoked salmon, red onions and capers or go vegan with humus, avocado, cucumbers, red ion, carrots, lemon vinaigrette and chili sauce. We ordered five bagels, with a variety of schmears and one as a sandwich, plus a coffee and a soda. Our total was a whopping $23! Dang what a deal. As we were waiting we could tell this was a locals place. Two fireman and a barista stopped in before their shifts and the staff knew them by name. One asked if the curry was ready (the delicious aroma was filling the place) and although he was told it still had an hour to go, they offered to carry it over to the station for him later. I dove into my bagel on the walk back and I was first taken about by the amount of schmear. It had to be 3/4 of an inch thick! And oh man, that chive and scallion cream cheese paired with the toasted everything bagel was pure heaven. Small Mart is exactly as described, a small store packed into the busy life of Decatur, but it is so much more. read more

They're literally so kind! I called around 5 PM since they were one of the few bagel shops still open. My little brother wanted a singular, plain bagel for his birthday. They were only selling poppy, sesame, and everything bagels that day. BUT, they decided to make a singular, plain bagel for my brother. They're so sweet and I literally came in as they were cleaning up the place. The bagels smelled delicious and other pastries looked equally as amazing. 10/10 would recommend just based off customer service. My brother loved his birthday gift. THANK YALL SO MUCH!! Definitely coming back to actually try the rest of their menu with friends! read more
