Crema's Take

“Poppy's does brunch better than most coffee shops have any right to—the French toast and churro waffles are legitimately worth planning a weekend around, and the counter-service setup keeps things moving even when it's packed. The espresso is solid and the vibe works equally well for a quick caffeine hit or a lingering meal with friends, though fair warning that prices lean toward the premium side for the neighborhood. If you're on Whitney Avenue and craving substantial food with your coffee, this is exactly where you should be.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Great place for a Sunday brunch or afternoon coffee! I’ve enjoyed the indoor and outdoor seating throughout the seasons. Service is at an ordering counter and is fast, and seating is simple/clean! Love the waffles, specialty coffees, etc.

This was a decent experience overall, but it wasn't amazing. The food was good, although it was a little pricey for certain meals. I got avocado toast with egg on it, and it was about $17 - it was good but not the best I've had. The atmosphere was very loud, and a bit warm…
