Pond Coffee
@ Small Mart, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a New Orleans mini mart, Pond Coffee punches well above its compact size with genuinely exceptional baristas who treat every order like it matters and every customer like an old friend. Their espresso-focused menu shines whether you're ordering a traditional cappuccino or diving into their creative specialty drinks, making it the kind of intimate spot where you'll want to linger over your cup and soak in the warm, unhurried atmosphere. Since opening during the pandemic, they've managed something rare: maintaining that same genuine kindness and care that got them noticed in the first place.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
