Lemon Poppy Kitchen
3324 Verdugo Rd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Glassell Park, this charming spot pairs exceptional breakfast and brunch with a genuinely welcoming vibe—think Turkish eggs that rival the coffee, creative seasonal specials like Hungarian dinners, and a lively crowd that includes four-legged friends. It's the kind of place where you can linger for hours with your laptop or settle in with loved ones over dishes like green chilaquiles and transcendent shortbread tarts, all while the staff lets you set the pace rather than rushing you out.”

We had the march special Hungarian dinner ( weds n Thursdays only in march). Everything was delicious- ghoulish, pork with saurkraut, cheesy potato casserole, fritters all yum. Come try the special dinners, or breakfast and lunch almost the time. Soooo good - empty plates all around. Four of us shared everything .
Super cute brunch spot in Glassell Park! The salmon and eggs were mind-blowing and the shortbread tart.. a spiritual experience. I discovered this hidden gem yesterday and the cherry on the lemon poppy cake by far is the staff, 10 stars!! They were lovely, and lovely fits the ambiance here 1000%. Brunch in the Glendale area has to be done here, you’ll get a handful of yummy breakfast options plus teas and coffees, can’t go wrong. Go!!!!
I enjoyed the Turkish Eggs and drip coffee (both superb!)for breakfast around 9am on a Saturday. Staff were attentive but not hovering. I got some work done on my laptop but eventually had to leave because the music was too good (80s) and I couldn't focus on my work because I kept singing the tunes to myself. Would definitely recommend.
The green chilaquiles and biscuits with jam are delicious! I also ordered the house lemonade but it was a bit too sweet so I had to water it down. Our server was present for the first 30 minutes to order our drinks & food but she didn’t come back after. We had to walk up to the register to ask for more coffee & a different employee ended helping us out.
I went there for the first time, and it’s such a cute place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. They’re dog-friendly (there were so many adorable dogs there!), so if you like to bring your furry friend along for Sunday brunch, this is the spot. It’s also kid-friendly. The waitress was nice, and I ordered a breakfast burrito — it was very tasty. .
