Get the chocolate chip cookie. We came in here randomly on a walk around Cobble Hill around 4:30pm. Nothing else was really speaking to me, so we went with chocolate chip cookie. We both agreed this might have been the best chocolate chip cookie we've ever had. We usually don't even agree on the style of cookie we like (crispy, chewy vs. big, doughy, and gooey), and it was somehow perfect to both of us. Highly recommend. read more

Poppy's - Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.50) - it's perfect - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The staff is always friendly and efficient. Poppy's have many interesting local items for purchase (frozen and refrigerated) along with their regular food menu items. I'm not a huge fan of their cookies or brownies, but I do appreciate their seasonal pastries and especially their danishes and scones. I appreciate the seasonal change up of the menu and how they use fruits in season to create their pastries. Over the summer I really enjoyed their fig and cheesecake danishes. I don't find many bakeries baking with fig so this was a sweet surprise and they delivered! Their menu switch up each season keeps me intrigued. Their matcha is decent and usually my go to. However, I am not a fan of the soups. They tend to taste bland. However, if you're in the area it's still worth visiting. There is very limited seating. read more

Made a quick stop to grab a pastry and landed on a pumpkin cake slice with cream cheese frosting. Loved that it wasn't too sweet and that the cake was very moist with forward pumpkin cinnamon flavor. Beautiful presentation as well. There are a ton of options ranging from cookies, biscuits, loafs, and drinks. I believe there's packaged food as well and would definitely come back. Note that there's nowhere to sit inside really, but there are benches outside. read more

Poppy's - PUMPKIN CAKE - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I will forever hate and love my sister for introducing Poppy's to me. They have very well executed sandwiches and pastry items that are consistent with NYC cost plus inflation. The scones are crunchy and soft with seasonal variations like rhubarb currently. It is 6 dollar a piece. My favorite passionfruit cookie is 4.50. I love a good sour fruit curd in between two soft buttery cookies. I also tried a few of their sandwiches with my favorite being roast beef farmed somewhere in upstate new year and tabled in Brooklyn with a horseradish sauce on a good baked bread. Now I have to fight the urge to stop by weekly. read more

Love this food-but 5.50 for a (very small) corn muffin? Add a cold brew (overfilled with ice) plus tip and I'm at 15 dollars. That's a little much for a neighborhood take out spot. read more

This place has one of the best pastries I've ever had in NYC! I got a latte, a buttermilk biscuit & a chocolate chip cookie. They were all so good. Service is amazing as well. read more

I didn't try enough to give a full five but I gotta say we loved what we tried. The biscuit was my #1, though, even with the sticker shock. Wish I tried it as a sandwich, but next time! The Lemmon poppy loaf was dense but the flavor was delicious. Coffee was also well brewed and a good morning fix. Staff is friendly and the vibes are chill. read more

I had the frittata, which was cooked well but lacked flavor. It tasted like absolutely nothing lol The other thing I ordered was the peach brown butter crumb bar, which was sooooo good! Maybe just stick with the sweet treats and skip the savory. I didn't order a drink, so I received my food almost immediately. read more

Went to get the Mother's Day mini cake special and it was pretty good .. very cute and beautiful mini cake read more

I pass by this cute little bakery everyday on my walk and it's always super busy with people hanging in their outdoor tables chatting or working. I finally came to try it out and had the Matcha Latte ($6). My drink was ready within minutes, so that was nice. Unfortunately, the matcha was a bit bland. It's not bad, but nothing amazing. Plus, I tried some of the cornbread from my friend and it was lackluster and crumbly. Maybe it was because it was towards the evening and the pastries are now cold, but what a shame that they can't heat it up for you either. They also offer some packaged salads, soups, and such but it is very pricey. Now I can stop wondering about this spot every time I pass by --not worth the money. read more

Poppy's - Matcha Latte. - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I like their biscuit egg sandwiches and the coffee is alright! I wouldn't recommend the matcha latte - it doesn't have much matcha flavor and it's not really whisked very well, so there's often times leftover clumps in the drink. read more

One place Manhattan can't take from Brooklyn is Poppy's. One of my favorite cafes in all of New York. They have a great selection of seasonal baked goods and pastries, full food & drink menu including seasonal flavors and ingredients, and a grab & go refrigerated section with lots to offer. The baristas hear are so kind and patient. Truly your favorite "neighborhood cafe with another location in Cobble Hill! read more

reaaaally hate to leave this review because the service and ambiance is a 10/10. We tried matcha, chai, labneh, chickpea salad, artichoke dip, lemon poppyseed bread and a blueberry muffin. I have to say none of it impressed me :/ I'm hoping we just didn't get the right items and would be willing to come back and try other things! The blueberry muffin was dry, lemon poppyseed bread was super dense and one bite was enough. I think all the items just lacked punch/ flavor which made it feel more on the bland side. I really wanted to love this place more because of the cute marketplace and welcoming atmosphere but I wish I had more good things to say. It's a very popular staple in the neighborhood and would love to try again so I can update this review! I know there's also one other location on Columbia st and maybe it's better! read more

Sadly a let down, didn't have certain items at 9am, and frittata was a bit water-logged, overcooked and had a rubbery outside. Too bad because things look enticing. Would enjoy trying the biscuit if I pass by again but wouldn't go out of the way to visit. read more

Quality of foods has definitely been going down over the past year or so. What used to be a delicious frittata with sophisticated layers now consists of random greens sitting on top of scrambled eggs--flavor optional. The strawberry olive cake I succumbed to today was burnt on the bottom, the frosting nothing but sweet. Other pastries I've tried lately also read mostly sweet and greasy. Very ordinary flavors for extraordinary prices. Seems like the high rent has pushed out the real chefs and bakers. What a shame! read more

This place is allllways busy. That's what made me and my partner want to try it. We've been a couple times and have tried multiple drinks (chai, teas, coffees) and I think it's good but I have other spots in the neighborhood I prefer. The cafe is very small, you walk in and grab your stuff but no in door seating. They have some benches outside but because they're such a popping spot, there isn't a good chance you'll get a seat. But they're not too far from Cobble Hill park which is a cute spot to sit and enjoy your drinks. We also tried their breakfast sandwich which was good but I'm not sure if I'd order it again - the best part to me was the biscuit it was on. I think I'd just order a biscuit no sandwich if I went back. I do appreciate that there seems to be a strong fan base that goes there. I see a lot of people wearing their merch, which is super cute. they have a clear aesthetic. read more

In an ideal world, I would be taller, smarter, better-looking, and own a brownstone in Carroll Gardens. I'd have enough time and money to sit in the sunshine outside Poppy's and eat delicious pastries and/or sandwiches every day. I'd read if alone, and converse about non-work-related things if not, sipping on excellent beverages they provide, and not taking care of my kids (in this world, they take care of themselves). This may not be an ideal world, but it's not so bad. I still get to occasionally sit in the sunshine outside Poppy's, eat and drink what they have on offer, and enjoy this perfect little cafe. Everything is pretty great thus far, but in particular: The sea salt sprinkled chocolate chip cookie is one of the best you can find anywhere ($5, but actually worth it). The comically tall biscuit sandwich is tough to get your mouth around with the thick, fluffy biscuit, crispy prosciutto, white cheddar, greens, and hot honey...but it's so very, very tasty. And they have an adorable selection of products they make, or curate, including chili crisp and chili oil and snacks labeled "Poppy's" that I can get and give to one of my favorite nieces, whose name is Poppy. And then I can eat it all when I go to her parents' house, because she's three years old and definitely doesn't need chili crisp. read more

Poppy's - Biscuit Egg Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is cute enough and the coffee is pretty good, but I find the food altogether bland - though to be fair, I haven't tried any of the baked goods just the prepared items in the fridge. But the service. Yikes mama. The counter staff seems to have been trained to be as unfriendly and unwelcoming as possible. Just a cold dead stare and look after you order that says: Why must you exist and ask the impossible by ordering a coffee at a coffee shop? There's one guy who is downright mean but he plays nice music? That said, there is a woman with brightly colored hair and glasses who is the exception... always friendly, always a hello and thanks/have a nice day. Hire more people like her. I've never written a Yelp review before but Poppy's really inspired me! read more

Overhyped and overpriced, sad because I was really excited to try most of the things on the menu however they only have available what's displayed on the counter. read more

A cute cafe nestled right by St. George's Hotel with a covered outdoor seating area. Everything seemed a bit overpriced (to be expected), but the citrus sumac scone ($6) was delicious--delicately potent orange flavor; crunchy sugar and crisp, buttery sides; and a thick, crumbly interior. The maple cardamom latte ($6.50) also did not disappoint, althought there wasn't much maple coming through, the cardamom flavor was warm and strong--it's perfect for a rainy day. read more

Always such an awesome vibe, and Kit is the best!! She always makes sure that the music is bumping Great scones and cookies and seasonal lemonade so tasty read more

I like this place. I hate how busy it is on the weekends tho.. lol. But I get it. They have very good chai and matcha for the record and really good pastries. And of course it's cute and close to home that's definitely a plus :) read more

This review is for the seasonal pastries, the best being the pumpkin spice cinnamon bun. Honestly one of the best cinnamon buns in the city. Made from brioche with a good helping of warm gooey maple cream cheese frosting, this is a must get. I think this is the last weekend to grab one so hurry in! I also tried the honey corn muffin and maple scone which had chunks of pear. Both were worth a return visit. I've also heard the biscuits are a neighborhood staple. Next time for sure!! Staff were friendly and it has that small cafe feel with some grab and go items. I'll certainly be back! read more

Poppy's is an exceptional coffee shop and take out spot in our neighborhood. The staff is friendly and always sweet. The Turkey sandwich and the lemon poppy loaf are my favorite items, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything. Sit outside with your coffee, and enjoy the quiet tree lined street. Pay a visit to the Secret Garden next door and you'll instantly fall in love with Cobble Hill. read more

I visited Poppy's for the first time this weekend. One of my good friends lives in Cobble Hill around the corner and always talks about how amazing their breakfast biscuits are. We waited in line for about 10 minutes because they only allow four people inside the bakery at once. We ordered a couple of iced lattes, one bacon jam breakfast biscuit, and the brioche setup with spicy tomato (but in a biscuit). We sat outside at one of their covered outdoor picnic tables, and it was a really nice ambiance! Would definitely recommend eating there if you're interested in outdoor dining for a quick / casual moment. The bacon jam was the clear winner between the two. It came with lettuce on it, but I think it could've used some lighter greens. The biscuit itself was perfection - flakey, fluffy, and a lot of height. The iced lattes were also delish! Will for sure be back to Poppy's for more biscuits and pastries from their weekly selection. read more

Poppy's is exactly the cafe I envisioned: a corner slice of heaven in beautiful Carroll Gardens. A little gem tucked away from the business of Court Street. The shoppe that knows the neighborhood and it's patrons. I Yelped this morning trying ti find a different place for a quick snack to take to a pre- movie at Cobble Hill Cinema. I had bookmarked Poppy's and decided to visit and take away something sweet or savory... One look at their biscuit egg sandwich and cardamom coffee cake had me really stumped as to what to try. I visited late @3:30 and the shop closes at 4. I scanned the pastry case and saw neither of what I was craving. The cardamom coffee cake was not in stock and won't be for awhile and there were no egg biscuit sandwich. They offered regular biscuits, ginger Bundt cake, chocolate cake and lemon poppyseed loaf. I opted for the loaf to go, I love anything lemon. I walked the small but quaint shop and noticed they sell wine and other home goods. Poppy's mission is to create simple, beautiful and approachable food. They also provide catering as well as wait staff services. I can certainly see these services doing quite well in this neighborhood as well as Brooklyn Heights. This is a lovely shop to sit, enjoy high quality food. I can see coming here on a snowy day and enjoying something savory and sweet. As for my lemon poppyseed loaf: the texture was moist, lemony/buttery flavor and I think a hint of sea salt on the loaf ends. I enjoyed it happily as I watched, I kid you not, The Menu. read more

I had stopped in to grab a quick coffee here before my nail appointment. Coffee was good and staff was super nice and friendly. I had gotten my husband a chai latte and he said it was just ok. I'd love to stop in again and try some of the pastries as they did look quite good in the case. read more

I've only had great experiences at Poppys. I always go out of my way to visit but this last trip has me scratching my head. I ordered 3 pastries and a salad and coffee. $45 total and the salad was a huge miss. Half of it was inedible greens. Completely wilted and the end of the bunch. This was lazy on whoever put the salad together. The pastries were good. read more

poppy's is a woman-owned business that I love supporting! It's a beautiful cafe that offers a variety of things including my absolute favorite pastry - the cardamom pecan coffee cake. It's absolutely delicious, fresh, and crunchy. Try it if you haven't the next time you stop by. There are plenty of breakfast, lunch items, and drinks to pick from. I had a salad from poppy's that was underwhelming and expensive but there are other items that intrigue me that I will go back for - the chicken sandwich and the biscuits. They offer catering for events as well. I've had their lattes which are bold and only wish they offered vanilla syrups for a touch of sweetness. The service here is always welcoming which is why I'll always stop by for a treat or two. #supportsmallbusiness read more

Poppy's - Pecan Cardamom Coffee Cake - my favorite! - Cafes Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Plan to wait in line if you're coming on the weekend. The almond milk latte was simple and delicious, especially paired with the lemon poppyseed loaf. The loaf was a little on the dry side for me. I prefer a lemon loaf that is less crumble and more moisture (I know, I'm being pretentious). I consider myself a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur, and this one was good but I give it an 8/10. The edges were a little crispy, and the chocolate used wasn't that rich in flavor. Take that with a grain of salt though, because it's all about your personal preference. My friend got the biscuit breakfast sandwich. The flavor was on point. But the ratio of filling to biscuit was pretty off. Although the biscuit is ridiculously tasty, a bit more egg, greens, and prosciutto would have been appreciated. No denying the fact that it was still satisfying. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and very efficient. I would definitely be back if I was in the neighborhood, but wouldn't go out of my way to get here. read more

Wonderful neighborhood spot! Love that they have super fresh everything - breakfast, brunch, and lunch items to order, lots of to-go's in the fridges, refreshing drinks, pantry staples, home goods, and some fresh market produce, and of course awesome baked goods. Minus one star because of the cost. Absolutely love the breakfast sandwiches on the weekends, but $12 is bit much for a BEC, even if it is classed up with chili sauce, some microgreens, and mint. They also sometimes partner with a local CSA farmshare which I'd highly recommend trying - especially since it's a rare single-purchase program, rather than a seasonal subscription. Bit of a wait usually on the weekends or in the mornings, and the items to-order can take a bit to make. read more

I was there yesterday to pick up some salads to go. I got 2 items with chicken. One chicken salad and one salad with sliced chicken. The chicken was fatty and grizzly in both dishes. Gross. I also got the beets and a green salad. The lids on these must not have been put on properly and both opened up And spilled over all the other items in the bag. FYI. I spent over $100 for a few salads and when I called the shop to let them know my experience they simply said sorry. read more

Got two of their sea salt chocolate chip cookies and honestly one of the best I've ever had! The texture was perfectly crisp on the outside with a tender, soft interior. The sea salt was also perfectly balanced against the chocolate chip cookie itself. I liked that the chocolate chips weren't super sweet and the cookie itself wasn't too overwhelming to eat. read more

I really enjoyed this cute cafe! There's general a line but I would say it goes by fast. They are following covid safety guidelines and they allow their customers to use the bathroom (so nice during these times)! Outdoor seating areas and take out. Had their frittata (so good that I must come back again) and their market salad box (they have protein ones too). Their baked goods I had the pumpkin ricotta muffin and buttermilk scone with strawberry jam. I also like the way they made their matcha, it's light and good blend of matcha flavor! Coming back again and worth spending time in line for! read more
