Crema's Take
“Poppy's is a beloved Brooklyn bakery where meticulously crafted pastries—like their standout lemon poppy semolina loaf and generously portioned pumpkin slice—pair beautifully with thoughtful breakfast sandwiches and fresh, healthy catering that's earned serious praise for work gatherings. The small but carefully curated selection of baked goods and traditional coffee drinks makes it feel like the kind of neighborhood spot where quality matters more than quantity, perfect for a quick morning grab or a leisurely meeting over something genuinely delicious.”

Eggsellent breakfast sandwich! Delicious baked goods. Apple Chai Scone was amazing.
Ordered catering for a work event of 40 via Poppy’s and it was incredible! The food was delicious, healthy, fresh, and beautifully arranged on serving platters - all we had to do was take off the lid. We were able to order everything we needed from them as a one stop shop - coffee, tea, cases of water, breakfast pastries, lunch, plates and utensils, cups — which made it so convenient for planning our day. Everyone was so helpful from Abe and Elle who helped tweak the plan & invoice to reflect our specific dietary needs to the driver / delivery person who was very friendly and helpful in unloading the food and setting it up. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others for catering services for events large or small.
Cute bakery. Not too many options as far as baked goods but what they had was good. I got the Pumpkin Slice to take home. 1 slice was enough for my mom and I to share. It was very tasty. The prices are fair. The service is good.
Another of what I would call « western ideology of good individual ingredients, poor overall combination and attention to detail ». The biscuit, bacon, sauce, eggs were all very well made on their own, but the sandwich was unenjoyable as a whole. The sandwich was way too big to eat as-is (I have a large mouth), and even after taking the top biscuit off, the biscuit to filling ratio was too high. Even the very nice flaky salt was sprinkled in a single spot instead of evenly over the biscuit, resulting in at least one overly salty bite for no good reason :(
Lemon poppy semolina loaf was the star. Great texture and flavour. The coriander clementine bun was a bit too sugary and not enough of the other flavours. They don’t have decaf espresso which was a bummer. Ambiance is really nice and the sandwiches looked delicious so would come back for those.
