This place was recommended to us by the guy who works at Green Goddess. Don't be deceived by the size of the place - it's pretty neat and they have a good number of vegetarian and vegan option. I got the fried pakora poboy. It was yummy! It had a good kick - not over spicy but all flavors packed in a pocket. My complaints though - the pakora was soft and not crispy. I wouldn't mind if it turned soggy after adding the sauces but the pakora itself was not crispy. Second one - a single pakora costs $1. One dollar for a pakora?! Really?? Yes, it tasted good but one pakora for a dollar is ridiculous! If I had to get only the pakoras I wouldn't even bother getting them but the poboy was good and worth the money. Poboy - 4/5. $7 - packed with flavors and a very good vegetarian/vegan alternative. Totally worth it. Pakora - $1 each if you have to get just them which is totally ridiculous! I didn't get them but still I think it is way too overpriced. Service - friendly staff. Just a regular corner grocery mart. read more

Small Mart - Vegetarian Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Love this place! Healthy food in New Orleans to keep me on track? For sure! Loved the bagel sandwiches in the morning.

As a recent re-arrival to New Orleans after 27 years in Manhattan, I set out to find the best bagel in the city. After several false starts at "best bagel in New Orleans" shops, I discovered Small Mart, which won hands down. All the other bagels I tried were way too dense and unflavored, almost like eating card board. It was as if these places were trying to see how heavy they could make them, equating weight with authenticity. Small Mart's bagels are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside (medium dense) so that you did not feel the need for an extra set of incisors. Kudos to Small Mart and a pox on the others! By the way, Small Mart is not convenient to me (Stein's is right down the block-whoops) but the bagels freeze wonderfully and worth the trip. read more

One of the best plant based spots in the city!! The staff is so sweet and friendly and they make the most DELICIOUS vegan bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich! I'm obsessed! read more

This is my favorite little food spot by the Marigny/Bywater. Lots of great vegan and pescatarian options to be had. The bagels are from H&H in New York, so I'm always pleased by that. (Although they could work on smearing the whole bagel with cream cheese evenly, but I'm from New York, what can I say) Their Indian food is my favorite. The samosas and chaat bowl are my go tos but the bagels and bagel sandwiches are a close second! Covid note: all takeout, very safe, masks required, staff all wearing masks read more

Arrived at 1:38pm when place was listed to close at 2pm... told kitchen closed at 1:30pm. Honestly, no problem with that. Asked for recommendations for nearby sandwich shops... told "no idea, you'll need to google that...". Wow. Yes, we know the internet exists, we just hoped for a local's recommendation to narrow it down, guess that was too much to ask for... read more

I've been coming to Small Mart for the past four years on a semi regular basis. The food is DELICIOUS, fantastic vegan options that don't let down on flavor or variety. The staff give incredibly kind service making you feel like a part of their community. Even giving wonderful suggests to enhance the dishes you order. I love the casual style of the place with ample work spaces and charging, with a community board of activities consistently rotating. read more

I ordered the Norwegian. The sandwich was good but definitely overpriced. They gave me 1 slice of smoked salmon. Could you spare the salmon? And a ton of cream cheese. I was a tad disappointed that I paid $13 for literally a cream cheese bagel, cucumber and dill. However, the bagel was really good and the ppl are nice. Give em a try. read more

so so yummy! i ordered the norwegian on an everything bagel - gotta love a generous helping of dill. what can i say... i'm a dill girl. sue me! read more

Small Mart - Vegetarian Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Excited to have Small Mart in the neighborhood I frequent. Its a great place for vegans and vegetarians but I being neither its a great way to get extra veggies in my diet. The stars here are the bagels which are legit NYC bagels, oh how I wish they offered breakfast sandwiches with those. They also offer a great daily curry for $6. Small Mart is good but for what it is its a bit on the expensive side. Even the $6 curry is more of a side dish than a meal but if you are a light eater and and vegan/vegetarian this is your spot. read more

Where do I even begin?!? Small mart is amazing, the owner works super hard and is always there. He managed to stay open and adapt during the entire Covid business closures and he did it in a safe very clean way. This place is great to begin with, they have tons of vegan and vegetarian options, kombucha on tap, NYC bagels and arguably the best bagels in NOLA. They've got curry that's fresh and really good, plus you can't beat the price. They have vegan goodies too. During Covid you'll have to wait longer than normal but trust me it's worth it. read more

Incredibly nice people & amazingly delicious food! The sammies are perfect. My favorites are the Gringo & the Bombay. Fully obsessed with small mart!!! Grateful for this Nola gem :) Ps: more than happy to drive across town for the food! It's that good!! read more

It's a great location, easy parking, there is also a bistro in the building. The food is great. I also love the staff, they are very nice!

I've only ever had the tofu poboy, but it is hands down the best tofu poboy, Bahn mi, sandwich, etc. that I've ever had

Whoa. Blown away with how good their curry was. In love after one bite. Top 3 curries of all time for me. Very friendly and affordable. Brian said they have three rotating curries, can't wait to try them all. read more

We love Small Mart! We go there all the time and last week did a large order from them for breakfast on my wedding day.

it took 25 mins for a bagel with cream cheese and avocado to come out, and then i'm pretty sure it wasn't even toasted. not a good experience read more

I really enjoy small businesses and supporting them. The staff at the new location of Small Mart are super sweet and friendly and go above and beyond for their customers. The Masala chai, mango lassi, coconut curry and samosas were delicious, topped with a "magic" coconut flakes bad. read more

Amazing place to eat, all vegan/plant based. There are so many wonderful options from the beet burgers to the salads to the pastries etc. the prices are reasonable and the service is relatively speedy. read more

Wow! I've been here twice and it's just great. The first time was for breakfast and I went with the vegan deluxe. Hummus, avocado, veggies and chili sauce on a nice authentic NY bagel. For my next visit, I was torn between a curry and a po boy but decided to go with the tandoori po boy and it was just perfect. Great flavor and perfect bread. Also the vegan treats are delicious! I've had the coconut bar and the chocolate pb bar and they're both delicious. Highly recommended for everyone, not just vegans! read more

Friendly staff, delicious food, fast service, and plenty of options for vegans and non-vegans. Love Small Mart!

Stopped in after a day of biking around the city. A friend of a friend suggested we checked out this place and I'm glad we did! Tiny but neat market, nice guys behind the counter helped navigate the menu. We were craving a good curry so of course we had to order the curry of the day -- a golden curry today with chickpeas, peas, potatoes, green pepper, carrots, and celery (?). It was rich and aromatic but didn't have much spice (though the sriracha helped). Decent for $5 but nothing to write home about. The taaza bowl was tasty, though a little sweet for me, but my friend enjoyed it. Overall, super solid. Would definitely return to try a poboy, chai, and mango lassi. And a vegan dessert, let's be honest. read more

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.

Pakora po boy!!!! Masala chai!!!! Cute tiny homey vibe in a cute tiny homey part of town!!! Their tomato, mozzarella, basil sandwich on an everything bagel was also incredible. read more

A must-try eatery in nola! Bryan has a diverse menu for all diet enthusiast! Amazing customer service you will not be disappointed on the flavors, textures and presentations of all of their plates. Get there early if you want to try the full menu towards the end of the day they usually sell out quick rightfully so this is definitely one of the places you don't wanna miss in New Orleans. All of their baked goods are made in house; there is truly love and passion in the cooking read more

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

I love Small Mart so much that I hesitate to write this review and reveal how amazing they are to the rest of the world, but I also want them to stick around forever so please do give them a visit if you're walking around the quarter. Unassuming, tiny, and a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, small mart looks like a corner store but it's actually a treasure trove of delicious vegan eats. They rotate specials daily, but since you ARE in NOLA you should of course give the vegan po'boy a try. I had it with the tofu and found the flavour to be more akin to a banh mi, but that's a good thing if you ask me, given the refreshing lightness of the veggies contrasting with the perfectly crunchy, fluffy bread. They also have a few vegan baked goods and a decent selection of beverages to choose from, in case you need to cool off. Not a spot to sit and hang, but their foods are packaged perfectly for walking and noshing! read more

One of my favorite spots! Doing the best and most during COVID and still serving with a smile. Love this place!

As I was leaving the quarter, we popped in here because we needed beverages and what did I spy? A lovely looking tray of donuts. Before I bought, I asked who made them and when the cashier told me Gerald's. I knew they would be a solid choice. We gobbled up a couple of donuts and a delicious apple fritter and they were as fresh as promised. Otherwise it's a wee shop that sells the basics. Solid choice for a quick bottle of something... read more

Small Mart is such a breath of fresh air. Flavorful fresh AFFORDABLE food made daily, tucked away in well kept corner store. You can tell everyone here really cares about what they do. read more

Absolutely amazing!! The best sandwich I've had in a long time!! Two thumbs up!! The staff was/is incredible!

Pretty delicious bagels! I had the onion bagel with chives cream cheese with salmon and it was delicious. The banana but bread was amazing! Would suggest getting the banana bread heated up but other than that pretty good. Only complaint was it took about 25-30 minutes to get our food. It was kind of busy but shouldn't take that long. read more

Small Mart is the most wonderful hidden gem! They're a staple in my week. They offer the most delicious bagels, sandwiches, and curry plates at a great price point.
