Poppy's

Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

Poppy's is a Brooklyn institution, born from founder Jamie Erickson's desire to bring her grandfather's legendary hospitality to her community. It started as a catering business and organically grew into a beloved neighborhood cafe, known for its warm, grounded atmosphere and a pace that feels noticeably softer than the city around it. You'll find regulars settling in with coffee and pastries, and the scent of fresh bread always fills the air.

★ The Legend
Egg Sandwich
This isn't just any egg sandwich; it features scrambled eggs, Cooper's American cheese, chili aioli, and arugula, served on your choice of a Portuguese muffin or housemade biscuit. It's a consistent crowd-pleaser that regulars swear by for a satisfying start to their day.
◆ Fan Favorite
Lemon Poppy Loaf
This signature loaf is a staple at Poppy's, often cited by regulars as a must-order sweet treat. It's a classic for a reason, offering a perfect balance of bright lemon and subtle poppy seed flavor.
● Chef's Pick
Rotisserie Chicken
Poppy's offers pasture-raised chicken, brined overnight and roasted to be incredibly flavorful and juicy. This dish is a testament to Jamie Erickson's focus on high-quality, simple ingredients and is a popular prepared food item for dinner.
◇ Hidden Gem
Chocolate Tahini Brownie
While many flock to the pastries, the gluten-free Chocolate Tahini Brownie is a rich, decadent treat that often gets overlooked by first-timers. It's a favorite among those in the know for its unique flavor profile and satisfying texture.
Insider Tip

First-timers often miss that Poppy's excels at prepared foods and pantry items beyond just breakfast and lunch. Instead of just grabbing a coffee and pastry, check out their rotating selection of ready-to-eat mains, grains, vegetables, and dips, especially if you're looking for an easy, delicious dinner solution. This allows you to bring the Poppy's quality home and enjoy a full meal that's often overlooked by casual visitors.
