My husband and I went on a 3300 mile UK road trip a few months ago and we discovered Poppy's on our…read moreway to Loch Lomond. Poppy's Tea Room was one of best "finds" our entire trip. We arrived on a quiet afternoon, where the town seemed absolutely dead and we were the only people dining. The decor is absolutely adorable with giant tables, fairy-lights and hand-written signage. It very much seems like a labor-of-love for whomever owns it. We were shocked at the low prices. This was probably our least expensive meal on our whole trip, including fast food stops. We didn't order the afternoon tea (served on a cake stand) but I was stunned that it was less than five pounds. In London, we spent 40 pounds for a similar experience and that was on the low end of afternoon tea pricing. I ate a 1/2 BTL and a bowl of cream of potato and leek soup. My husband had a ham, mozzarella and pineapple panini. We loved out meals! We topped them off with a brownie and a tropical fruit dessert bar. The bakery has a very extensive selection and everything looked great. Besides the atmosphere and food being outstanding, we had a wonderful server. We are so happy that we stopped at Poppy's!

After all, who WOULDN'T be thrilled to find a shop specializing in chocolate that's open every day? But Cocoa Mountain is not gimmicky, and Cocoa Mountain is NOT sub-par by any stretch of the imagination. Excellent is what Cocoa Mountain is. The hot chocolate really is as rich as it looks (not to mention the glorious, velvety smears of even more chocolate around the cup that one can inhale with a spoon), and the handmade chocolates are unique, flavor-balanced, and perfectly respectable. Not to mention a lovely ambiance and many pastries to choose from! My only suggestion would be to add a touch of salt (and maybe a tad more moisture) to the coconut brownie. But it's still really good - after all, I have a pretty draconian standard there, being both a dedicated dessert enthusiast and an *especial* lover of coconut desserts.

There is a fantastic selection of breads, a lovely menu to choose from for brunch and lunch, and in the Summer they open longer with pizzas on offer in the evenings.

I really cannot sing the praises of this place highly enough. Great food in a great location!

After eating here it's nice to take a walk around the bay or along the beach, both of which are only a few minutes walk from the restaurant. I wish I had a restaurant/bakery like this where I live!

I tend to order and enjoy things which I normally would not make myself. Especially so when I travel. To that end, the full Scottish it is. This is not a light meal. It isn't nuanced. Not delicate. It's a well-crafted left-jab and right-uppercut of heartiness and flavor. I've had blood puddings as bland as can be. But not here. It's seasoned and griddled well. Same can be said for the fried haggis. I frankly love haggis in its most traditional form as plated on Burns' Night, or fried with a nice crunch on a breakfast plate. Everything else from the sausages to mushrooms, to the egg with custardy yolk, it was delicious all around. After my wife and I had a plate each, we walked the city for about 6 miles just to burn off 25% of those calories. It was all worth it. Thanks for a memorable meal and to the lovely ladies who served and tan the establishment, much love to you for the care.
