Finally made it to Poppyseed Kitchen, one of my friend's favorite spots, so obviously we had to venture down for her birthday! And I can officially see why she loves it. This is the cutest little gem tucked away at the end of a strip mall. The second you walk in, you're greeted by a fun poppy mural and a display of all the delicious pastries of the day. Immediately I'm like, okay, I'm going to like it here! We had about a 20-minute wait, but thankfully there was plenty of time for mimosas and catch up chitchat! And honestly, the time flew by... we weren't even finished with them before we were seated. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was on point from there. Someone filled our water glasses almost immediately after we sat down, and we never had a dry cup. Mimosa refills were quick, too! I also grabbed a chai latte that came in the cutest old-school homemade-looking cup and was perfectly warm and spiced. Soooo good! For food, two of us ordered the Fresh Pick Sandwich with fresh tomatoes, stracciatella, kale pesto aioli, arugula, fresh basil and balsamic glaze on perfectly toasted sourdough. I added avocado and bacon and basically turned it into the most deliciously elevated BLT of my life. I also made a pro side swap for my side and went with the cheesy grits. They were delicious. No notes! My friend got the Fresh Pick without tomatoes and added prosciutto, and another friend ordered The Grit with shrimp, and that plate was BEAUTIFUL. Sweet pepper and tomato sauce, mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula and an egg over a plate of grits. Between us, there were clean plates, full bellies and a whole lot of "what are we trying next time?" conversations happening. The food came out quickly, the service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and it was just an all-around excellent brunch. My only complaints? 1-Why do they have the cutest pastry merch for kids but not adults... I need that "I'm flaky" croissant shirt lol! And 2-Why is this little gem not closer to me?! But clearly that just means I need to make the drive again. Poppyseed Kitchen has officially been added to the "worth the trip" list! read more

Wife and I went for lunch. Excellent menu, good service, clean tables and floors and the dishes we ordered were excellent. A rather stark, high-ceiling open floor plan with superb air conditioning. Bring a wrap as it does get chilly. Plates, bowls, sandwiches and salads, along with a kid's menu and miscellaneous snacky items. Prices range from $13 to $18. Decent portions. I had the The Bisquit and Gravy ($12) after asking for a sample taste of their gravy. I have had horrible biscuit and gravy dishes in many places where the gravy was just cooked flowered grease. Not at Poppyseed! It was excellent, flavorful and if you ask for more, you will get it. I did. Wife agreed on the gravy. Wife had the Poppyseed Salad ($12) which was so loaded with cucumbers that annoyed her. Very little lettuce, but lots of other hard veggies. She was not happy. My second choice that lunch day was listed as The Ranch Hash ($18). A fellow diner across from us ordered this hash and said he loved it. It did look good with braised brisket, potato hash and two eggs to order. A very fine portion and will be my order when we return. Parking galore. You will need to turn right when you exit on to Tom Hall Street, unless you get a lucky traffic gap. We will be back, for sure. read more

Went for brunch for the first time. Forgot to call ahead so we had a short wait but were able to order mimosas to enjoy while we did! Took no photos but everything was delicious! And the service was top notch. My friend and I both modified one of their sandwiches and they were super accommodating! Honestly can't wait to go back! read more

Ok so I went back to this place to try more dishes and they did not disappoint. Just remember to RSVP as they get full very quick and you could be waiting a while. This time I had the matcha latte with stuffed French toast and it was delicious. Tables could be a little further apart but still an overall environment to sit and enjoy a good time. read more

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

The pastry was so light and fluffy. We had the peach and cream turnover and their famous poppy seed muffin. 10/10

Poppyseed Kitchen - Breakfast burrito with seasonal veggies. - 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 - Beef brisket, fried eggs, and rosemary hash. - 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

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

What a great place and the food is outstanding. My daughter had a breakfast plate it smelled, looked and tasted so good...I had the poppy salad with salmon it was just the right size and so very tasty. Give it a try you wouldn't be disappointed. 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

Poppyseed Kitchen - Biscuit and gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

Still great, no new notes! Biscuits & gravy are on the menu! We visited on a weekday morning this time, so no wait!

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

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

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

Poppyseed Kitchen - Fruit and yogurt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

We were visiting from out of town and were looking for an early breakfast before we moved on with our trip. This place hit the spot. We got the local and the American. Both meals were delicious. The croissant was perfect, so fluffy and so fresh. The pastries looked really good too, disappointed I didn't grab one of those as well. Service was amazing also. The young man with curly hair (didn't catch his name) was very polite and checked in with us often. He was willing to go through the menu and offer suggestions when we asked. We have two young children and felt comfortable coming here to eat. Sometimes it's hard to find places that have table service that feel welcoming to kids so just wanted to add that here. They even have the triangle crayons to color with that don't roll off the table! 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

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

Don't ask for an avocado toast. You will get slices of avocado on top of a slice of sourdough, that's it. It's better to say it's not part of the menu. 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

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

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

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

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
