Well-crafted, naturally leavened breads and pastries w/ a rustic twist, exceptional service, delicious local coffee and all of the good vibes. I recently visited and picked up some pastries - a croissant, a pain au chocolat, and my fave: a kouign- amann. You know how your chocolate croissant never has enough chocolate? Virtuoso serves up the right balance of flaky, buttery, crackly pastry w/ a nice thin layer of chocolate that covers the entire base of the pastry - perfection! These aren't croissants are airy and light as they should be. Now to my fave - the kouign-amann with a twist. A buttery toasty laminated pastry similar to croissant but and filled with a creamy not-to-sweet egg custard that will make you swoon! It's like if a a kouign-amann and a Portuguese pastel-de-nata had a baby! #IYKYK They have a great variety of sourdough breads including baguettes, country loaves and some made with locally-milled whole grains. The coffee is locally roasted Enderly coffee. The record player spins cool tunes and the good vibes are off the charts. What a blessing to have this place in our backyard. Runs don't walk, y'all.

I've been visiting for the last 2 years, and recently, there seems to have been an ownership change. I assure you, they still serve up the same delicious high-qaulity baked goods. It's always an amazing customer experience and we end up picking up way too many pastries! The spinach pastry, as well as the strawberry and cheese are highly recommended. Flaky, crusty, perfection. If you appreciate baked goods made on site, throughout the day, definitely check out Java. I think going fresh makes all the difference and keeps me coming back for more.

It seems…read morelike you would need to get here early morning because when I arrived, there were only a few more loafs of bread left, BUT fortunately, I was able to snag 2. Make sure you check the expiration date, though. Small little outlet store with plenty of bread options, snacks, desserts, and even a few canned food options to choose from. It's definitely cheaper than going to a grocery store for just 1 loaf of bread. Employee was super nice and efficient. This is located off highway and small, so unless you're actively looking for it, you will miss this and have to do a whole U-turn to get to it. I wished I loved closer to be able to get my bread here regularly but will definitely be making a pit stop anytime I am in the area.

The woman behind the register seemed to genuinely care about what she was doing (that's rare!) She greeted us with a smile and even quickly corrected a mistake on our order as it came out - we really loved the food (if you've not tried the veggie cream cheese, you won't be disappointed getting it on an everything bagel)! SOOOOOO good!!! We don't live super close, but we'll definitely be back when we can. Much like most places, it seems they've had good days and bad - don't let the reviews skew you if you've not been there - give it a whirl and make your own decision. We'll be keeping it in our rotation for certain.

Today I went back and ordered another one since I had enjoyed yesterday's so much. When I got home and split the sandwich with my husband the first thing he said to me was it was stale. I agreed. Called back and the attendant said that the only way she could help me is if I bring the crescent back in so she could confirm it was stale!! Then she said I helped you and when I got the crescent it felt fine to me. As a longtime customer I will no longer be going to Poppyseeds or recommending it. I asked to speak with the manager and she said there is nothing that could be done unless I came back in. Living 15 minutes away I was not willing.

The outside and inside are both very cute with lots of pink! I debated on getting a picture perfect cookie because they looked amazing- but I decided on getting a social media worthy drink so I could take a fun selfie on this 90 degree day. I chose the "Proud 2 Be" drink because it had bold red, white, and blue colors. I have to say: false advertising! I was handed a very muddled drink and I even asked, "This is mine?" and the staff member said, "Yes" and I said "It looks so beautiful and different in the picture" and she said, "Yeah, it looks different when you make it." The staff member was lovely - bright and bubbly from the moment we walked in and throughout the whole time she waited on us. I'm not sure if she doesn't know how to make this drink or if it's false advertising. I didn't take a selfie pic for my accounts because it wasn't much to look at. Silver lining: it tasted good. My girls got pretzel nuggets and an Achy Breaky Heart drink (it was in a white cup so no idea if it had the pretty sunrise look) - they liked them.

There is no where to sit inside but there are some tables outside if you want to eat/drink there. It's a fancy soda shop so most of the drinks have Coke, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, lemonade, Fresca, sparkling water or Mountain Dew as the base and they add Torani drink syrups to create a tasty drink. Go on Thursday! It's thirsty Thursday so you can bring any size cup and they will fill it up for the price of a small. They filled up my 40 oz Stanley for less than $4. I got the Arabian nights- lemonade with lime and mint. It was SO good and so refreshing. I would get it again but would also love to try something new as they all look so good! I also tried the spa water and didn't like it as much, this was sparkling water with a lemon, a lime and mint, nothing fancy- get this if you don't want anything too sweet- just tasted like tap sparkling water.
