Another 5 star experience at Poppyseed! This is truly one of my fiance and I's fav spots!!! We love making the trek from Huntersville to come here. They never disappoint and I can't recommend them enough. This review is from a few weeks ago but I had to share. We also enjoy their fresh, scratch made food!!! We had another great meal of delicious pastries that you literally can't find anywhere else. I had their french toast and bacon, my fiance had their shrimp and grits and you can just taste the difference in their food. They're making everything in house and it's noticeable. They're always busy and for good reason. The food is worth the wait and the drive. Can't wait to go back soon!!!! read more

Poppyseed Kitchen - Breakfast burrito with seasonal veggies. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

This was my second time visiting with friends for Sunday brunch. The first time we came early enough we were sat right away and the second time we came a little later and there was 45 minute wait. There was a slight kerfuffle with seating where we thought we were getting sat and ended up having to wait 30 minutes but the hostess was super nice and gave us coffee while we waited. The food was excellent, as was the service and the little patio they have out back is great and covered with oversized umbrellas. Will definitely return! read more

Poppyseed Kitchen - Sweet toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I've come here more times than I can recall. I drive here just for coffee more often than food but I have had the pleasure of trying a few items from their menu. I've tried their breakfast burrito, avocado BLT, and brisket. The burrito is made well & pairs with the local hot sauce they serve. The avocado BLT has been my favorite, I add a fried egg to it. I was saddened to hear their menu changed for fall but cannot wait to have it again soon. Their blueberry muffins are also really good. I've only ever eaten inside but why also have outdoor seating. The staff are always so pleasant. I can't think of a time I've not had a good experience.. whether dining in or having food to go. read more

Poppyseed Kitchen is goodness. Stopped in and was promptly seated. Decided to go with the Biscuit and Gravy with eggs over easy. It took a while for the food to come out which was strange because it wasn't that busy yet. Food eventually arrived and the egg was cooked perfectly. The gravy was delicious but the star was the biscuits. They were fantastic. Only drawback for this visit was the service in general not just from the kitchen but also the waitress. Just very slow and again it wasn't that busy yet so not sure what the issue was but the food as noted as really good. If you are looking for a delicious breakfast, stop by Poppyseed. read more

Today wasn't a good experience. Waited forever for our server to come to us (I understand it was busy), our fruit tasted like onion (must've used the same knife to cut). The grits is too busy. Too many things going on. The chicken sandwich was amazing though. Will be coming back for that. Ambiance is great. read more

What a great place! Came in for lunch. Seated quickly. Our server was excellent. Food was great. Love trying new things in local places. I had French onion soup and poppyseed salad. So good. My friend had The Grit with salmon. Out of his normal but glad he tried it. He said it was amazing! Had the best cup of simple breakfast tea I've had in a long time. Came in a great mug. Will certainly come again when in the area. Highly recommend. read more

I take myself here on a date every Sunday. And for good reason. I can always rely on Poppyseed to come through with delicious, delicate pastries, a warm, inviting atmosphere and service that is never short of above-and-beyond. While my meal today took some time to come out, the team lovingly let me know (without my asking, I might add) that they took a percentage off of my bill AND had a raspberry croissant with my name on it to take home-to apologize for any inconvenience. After my breakfast, I came home, more than happy with my experience (as usual), and the first thing I did was call my lawyer to rewrite my will and put Poppyseed Kitchen as the #1 beneficiary. read more

Poppyseed Kitchen - "The Grit" & a hazelnut latte-perfect as always. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

There's a lot of competition these days among breakfast restaurants but I believe Poppyseed Kitchen is the best in the area. This review is a bit of a cheat as I've been here umpteen times previously. However my prior visits were all for pickup orders; my practice is to only post for restaurants I've dined in. So this time I stayed and was rewarded. The Stuffed French Toast, always delicious, was even better without taking it home. The bread still had firmness which gave the dish much more texture. I recommend pairing the toast with a side of bacon, the crispy saltiness provides a wonderful contrast. There are many other excellent choices on the menu. The Ranch Hash is my personal savory favorite. The brisket is in bite-size chunks which add flavor and "heft" to the rosemary potatoes . And try sunny-side up eggs on top for some runny yolk with the hash. Trust me, it's a great combination. And don't forget fresh-baked pastries. A definite highlight, the menu is changed - daily? At least, they never have the same options when I've visited. Homemade pop-tarts, anyone? The service is excellent , the coffee is delicious. And hey, Bob Ross was on the television painting fluffy little clouds as entertainment. Highly recommended! read more

Another visit to Poppyseed Kitchen, another 5 Star review. My neighbor Randy asked me to join him for lunch here on a Friday. We went at 'prime time' but he did the 'call ahead waitlist' and got us in sooner. Parking lot was packed as there are several other business' who share the parking lot. Our Sever was Merritt, an absolute professional, very nice and was able to answer our questions. It's clear the owners here understand the importance of Customer Service. There are roaming Managers who come to every table and ask if they can assist, pour more coffee, fill your water or other beverage. We both had the PoppySeed Salad. I added the salmon and Randy added the chicken. The house vinaigrette dressing is excellent. We each had the house drip coffee, a medium roast which was very good. They bring cream and they have Splenda on the table. If the parking lot is full, there is a lot across the street on the same side of the restaurant opposite the CVS drug store. read more

One of the best breakfast I've had in Fort Mill ever! I love a good brunch and so far this place has checked a lot of boxes. Mimosa, good bread (and they know how to butter it), amazing jam and REAL eggs cooked perfectly. I live less than 10 minutes from this spot and just went last week. Lesson learned and I will be going back Also shout out to the staff and especially Mason. He was so helpful and kind. read more

We went here, a while in the area for a volleyball tournament after seeing the reviews on yelp. So glad we did. The service and the food were excellent. There was a muffin I wanted that they were out of and the sweet waitress brought me a cookie free of charge that she thought I would like based on the muffin. Can't wait to go back. read more

My wife and I ate there yesterday. We arrived a little after noon and had a short wait. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I was debating 2 items and she recommended the Monte Cristo, which was outstanding. Fries were great too. My wife had a different sandwich which she raved about. I was too full to test the bakery which also looked great. I will definitely be back. read more

My go to spot- always delicious. Highly recommend a side of ranch to go with their deliciously crispy fries. Tried my friends iced latte - delish and not overly sweet. read more

Stopped by late morning. Got lucky with seating because a bunch of early birds were finishing breakfast so it was a very short wait. Sat outside with a nice breeze, feeling like fall is here. Food was delicious. Cups of coffee were constantly refilled! Brisket Hash was perfect. French Toast was delicious for those that need sugar in the morning. read more

Loved the casual nature of this place. We were sat pretty quickly even though it was busy especially on a Friday. We got the chicken and waffles as well as the shrimp and grits. The grits were actually good and had great flavor. I think the concept of it being all deconstructed upon getting it was pretty interesting. The real star here was the chicken and waffles. Oh my gosh that chicken flavor was all you could ask for. Spicy and sweet and it was cooked perfectly with a crispy outside. read more

Cute comfy spot with sandwiches and breakfast foods. Food taste farm to table for sure. The waitlist was great to use as they do not accept reservations and are pretty busy on a Saturday at 1pm. They close at 3pm so the crowd slowed down around 2pm. Service was friendly and fast. Had the poppyseed pancakes 3/5. Not as sweet as I expected the texture of the pancake was perfect however. The bacon was really good and the Rosemary potatoes were as named! Their scrambled eggs taste a lil strange to me. Taste as if they add something but I forgot to ask. They do have mimosas and a small selection of wine and beer. The brunch didn't leave me wanting more but I would come back to try their lunch selection! Worth a visit! read more

The crispy Asiago cheese was very fun addition to the Market Vegetable entree. It paired well with the sauces and medley of vegetables! It was filling and certainly the perfect portion size to finish and not feel way too stuffed! It also gave me amazing energy rather than the usual, post-brunch slump. I also had an iced coffee but it was way too sweet, even though I said half sweet. The flavor was fine though! We asked to be seated outside, and they happily did just that. It was lovely and while we were the only ones outside, the waiter still came to check on us regularly. Overall, I had a great time! read more

The food was pretty good, it wasn't revolutionary but it was above average! The server was really sweet and had good manners. The restaurant was pretty quiet but they gave my party of 6 an extremely small table. They just added 2 seats to a 4-seater table so it felt a little cramped. read more

Yesterday was my first time at Poppyseed Kitchen in Ft. Mill. The food and service were excellent and I will be back with friends! Not only was it a great dining experience, but when my car battery died in the parking lot, the restaurant owner was so helpful. He brought jumper cables and I was able to get the car started. What a great guy. And then he recommended O'Reilly auto parts where I went and purchased a new battery. I can't say enough about the restaurant, the great food, the very nice owner who went beyond to help a customer out. And oh, I forgot to mention the delicious muffins that I purchased on the way out. Outstanding ! I hope you will visit them soon. You will not be disappointed. Deb Heintz read more

They say they take reservations but they don't honor them I politely complained and then the manager rudely barked back he can choose who he wants to seat and when and where he wants to seat them they also don't have a diverse menu I don't recommend this place read more

Service. Quoted 35 minutes and stood there for over 50. Went to the hostess stand twice to check on placement and unfortunately, no apology or any offer to move things along was given. Would have appreciated an apology or offer to seat elsewhere, etc. in an attempt to make right. read more

Excellent!!! What more could I say! Food and service were most excellent! Cute little restaurant!

Finally got a chance to try Poppyseed yesterday and it certainly lives up to the hype! Wonderful atmosphere and lots of great choices for everyone on the menu. It's difficult for me to go to breakfast/brunch places since I am dairy free and also allergic to eggs. Most places don't have vegan options on the menu, but Poppyseed does! I got the tofu scramble (no avocado due to an allergy) and it was so good! My husband got the biscuits and gravy with over easy eggs and my sister-in-law got the French American. We all really enjoyed our meals very much. Our server was sweet and very attentive. It was extremely busy but she checked in with us often and kept my husband refilled with coffee. We don't run out for brunch/breakfast much, but when we do Poppyseed kitchen will be a place to stop! read more

Oh my god Lord! At long last, I tried a "Pop Tart" from Poppyseed Kitchen. This is the best pastry this side of the Atlantic, in my educated opinion! Flaky, crispy but moist, with a perfect amount of (raspberry in this visit) tart and not too sweet filling; iced with what can only be described as confectionery ambrosia. NB: I'm in two minds whether to post this review or not. My fear is that it may encourage others to buy more of these delicious treats, thereby reducing my chance to have them all for myself!! read more

Great locally owned family restaurant. The salads were excellent and the fries... We were a large group and the service was excellent! Everything came out at the same time. I will definitely return! read more

If you haven't been here yet, you're seriously missing out! I had the Birdbox chicken sandwich and my husband had the Monte Cristo -- both were amazing, but that chicken sandwich might just be one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and the hot honey? Absolute magic. They do both breakfast and lunch, and while I usually lean toward lunch when I'm out, I can't resist their breakfast menu -- their pancakes are fluffy, buttery perfection every time. The service is always friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. Definitely one of my top local spots! read more

Not gonna lie the first time I came here I didn't love it but I think it's just because of what I ordered. Last time I ordered the oatmeal and I guess I really wasn't feeling it so I added some pictures of the menu, but chose not to review. I returned here the other day though for breakfast, and it was an great experience. Overlooking the menu I really liked the toppings on one of the toast options but I wanted to modify it a little bit. I asked my server if they would be able to put the pumpkin butter and cinnamon apples on top of a French toast bread, and they were happy to do so. Basically like a cinnamon Apple French toast. It was delicious. The chef even came out at one point and ask me how it turned out. It was a busy day but the service was good and even when our server was busy, our table was never overlooked as other people checked in on us. There was a small wait to be sat, but it was less than 10 minutes. Plate watching, it looked like a lot of people around us ordered the croissant sandwich which is definitely something I'm going to order my next time here because the croissants looked so fresh and flaky. Overall, I am glad that I came back because this is now on my list of top places to go for breakfast/brunch. read more

Mary and I were in Ft Mill on the greenway and thought we'd check out Poppyseed for lunch as we'd been wanting to try it . I had the turkey bacon on sourdough and she had a salad . Food was great as was the service . Love these local cafes as they work hard to get it right . I'll be back to check out the breakfasts soon. read more
