    Vegan BLT bagel
    Paul C.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A party on my tastebuds!!!! Look no further than Small Mart... no seriously your search ends here!

The L.B.S. on an everything bagel add chive & scallion cream cheese will have you feeling as if you are taking a bite of heaven! Thanks crew for the awesome service and delicious food, you have earned a lifetime customer

    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.

Great option for vegetarians honestly. Falafel - comes with toum and the green sauce, very yummy, well fried Hummus with bread was also really good. Wish we had more bread though. French fries - I was skeptical when my friend recommended this but honestly, nicely salted fries and perfect vessel for dipping into all the various sauces. The vegetable plates were absolutely delicious. The seasonal vegetable they had at the time was broccoli with harissa sauce which was yummy and I wish we had more of, honestly. The kale and cabbage salad was so good and refreshing. I'm normally not the biggest fan of kale but this salad was just so good, definitely recommend a large portion to share with everyone. We also got pickled cauliflowers as well, very fresh. Definitely loved all the sauces and all the vegetables. Felt like everything was very flavorful and refreshing. The move is definitely to share a bunch of dishes with friends so you get a little of every yummy thing. I would say that the 7 plates (including 2 falafel and 1 large kale salad) we got were enough for the 4 of us to feel comfortably satiated.

Dining room is a little tiny so you have to be quick to grab a table. Really loved it. We are already talking about when we can go back.

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!

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.

The atmosphere? 10/10. It's one of those places that just feels good. Calm, airy, aesthetically pleasing without trying too hard. Perfect for getting work done, studying, catching up with your friend, or a cute little meet-up with your boo. And it's family-friendly, which I love. Inside + outside seating, so you can really choose your mood for the day. Now let's talk about what really matters... the BAGEL. Listen... it has been YEARS since I've had a goooood bagel sandwich. Like the kind you think about later. The kind that makes you pause mid-bite. This is THAT spot. The menu isn't overwhelming, but the options?? Whew. So many bagel choices, cream cheeses, jams--because let's be real... what is a bagel without cream cheese?? I went in fully planning to get two sandwiches just to try more (greedy, I know ), but this one humbled me real quick. I got the BlueBird... and I've been eyeing it for a minute, so I already knew I had to. Turkey, jalapeño cream cheese, banana peppers, blueberry jam... Yeah. Let that sit. Sweet, savory, creamy, a little kick... it just works. I was SOLD. While I was sitting there working, I asked a couple next to me if they were regulars (because their food looked too good not to ask ). They told me they come all the time and basically get everything. That told me everything I needed to know. And honestly? I believe them. You will NOT be disappointed here. And the drink?? Oh it had a little punch to it--in the best way. Not watered down, not playing with you. One of those "okayyyy I taste it" moments. IYKYK. Overall, this was such a great experience. The food, the vibe, the energy... everything aligned. I will absolutely be back--especially when I'm on that side of the river again. Flour Moon, you did your thing.
