The Best Coffee Shops in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Pond Coffee is for the real coffee heads —an if-you-know-you-know kind of place. The sweet stand was opened by two baristas in 2020, connected to Small Mart’s beloved corner shop located on the border of the Marigny and Bywater. It’s popular for chai, matcha, lavender lattes, and cappuccinos made exclusively with oat milk. Small Mart is a must-try for food, even if just a cookie or pastry, but the vegetarian Indian-inspired menu and bagel sandwiches are worth a separate visit." - Eater Staff

Inside Small Mart, Pond pours meticulous espresso and oat-forward drinks in a relaxed Bywater setting. Called out by local media and word-of-mouth, it’s a small operation with big flavor—perfect before a riverside walk or neighborhood art crawl.

I hadan amazing experience at Pond Coffee from the second I walked in I was greeted by the welcoming staff. After exploring the many local roasters and espresso houses this one is my favorite. The bean used to make the espresso has a great depth of flavor without being bitter. Definitely a place to try if you love coffee and espresso.

These guys opened during the pandemic and it has been amazing to watch them grow. It's been even more amazing to see them keep the same level of care and kindness that made them successful in the first place. Every cup of delicious coffee is made thoughtfully and served with a smile. Pair that with the fact that they seem tailor made to share a space with Small Mart, and you have an unbeatable combo. Pond has become a neighborhood treasure. My personal favorite is the oat milk latte. It's smooth and subtle with no need for sugar. Even on a hot New Orleans day, you can enjoy it iced.

We stayed above this coffee shop and it was so lovely to start our day here! Excellent cappuccino and service. If I lived in Nola no doubt I’d be a regular. I loved their cups as well.

Great coffee and conveniently sharing a cute little space with a wonderful bakery counter.

Some of the best coffee, espresso, and service I’ve had anywhere. Drip coffee is expertly brewed and perfectly balanced. Espresso is bright and clean. They really know what they’re doing. Hands down best coffee in New Orleans. Note: the space is very small and is shared with Small Mart Cafe, so if you’re planning on hanging out be sure to get here early!

Without doubt the best coffee and bagel destination in NOLA. If you're looking for quality and atmosphere this is the place to go. Friendly staff and delicious food and drink. A+

One of the best tasting Matcha lattes I’ve had. It wasn’t too sugary. It was a great balance of the Matcha taste in the milk taste. Who knew oat milk would taste so good with Matcha?!

came here for the first time and staff was so sweet! it’s such a nice atmosphere, feels like a small haven for the local community and the drinks and food were amazing! also, they had initially messed up my drink order. i didnt say anything because i wasnt peeved at all but they came up afterwards, apologized and made me the drink again. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a lil positivity in your day.
