I wish this neighborhood spot was in my actual neighborhood. I frequent the Poppy often with friends as it seems to be the only chill yummy spot in close proximity to our church that has a patio with a fun varied playlist. Whenever Mason waits on us he is so personable and makes us feel welcome. OMG I wish I knew the other waiters' names, but that is not for any lack on their part as the crew is great all around. When I bring new folks here it is aways a win. Thanks for the grand customer service and good eats. read more

Delicious avo toast!! The avocado was slightly lime-y and it tasted so good on the fresh baked bread. Would definitely come back for this. Theres a cute patio area for seating and lots of tables indoors as well. Loved that this place has its own parking lot- very rare for this area of LA. Overall recommend! read more

Lemon Poppy Kitchen - Avo Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is FAR too expensive for what it is. I don't care how fresh or farm-to-table they claim to be. A basic breakfast (two eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes) costs $26 after tax and tip. Add a coffee and you're at $32 for the most fundamental meal you can get. 32 bucks. Also, I ordered a biscuit. I asked if it was warm, my server said "nooope". I asked if it could be warmed up, she said "nooope". Exactly like that. Seriously? Your dry, mediocre biscuit can't be warmed up? Unreal. Don't go here. Go to Bub and Grandma's or Belle's Bagels, both of which are close by and both of which are far better. read more

The breakfast burrito is one of THEE BEST EVERRR, and they have a Romanian dish with some A1 pork belly! Their Customer service is on point too. Everyone is friendly and they have a gorgeous back patio you can sit and eat at while enjoying the great LA weather. Great place to unwind or get some work done while you enjoy some delicious food. read more

Perfect place for weekend brunch or just to stop by for a coffee! Staff is always nice and fast to service you. Love both the indoor and outdoor seating areas and the vibe is always super relaxed. The Mamaliga is by far my favorite item! I also recommend getting a biscuit with some butter and jam. (Lemmon Poppy bread for dessert) Definitely stop by and grab a bite and some coffee if you hadn't already. read more

Lemon Poppy Kitchen - Dirty Matcha, smoothie and biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambience 8/10 - lots of flies and bees outside Take a look at that orange yolk! Not o my was the food well made and delicious, they use high end ingredients. Loved the breakfast burrito and highly touted Mamaliga-very rich and savory. The folks there are welcoming ,knowledgeable and solicitous. We sat outside because of the nice weather but the flies and bees immediately took notice and were constant companions throughout the meal. It didn't seem like anyone else minded so we just fanned them away but next time I'll be siting inside! I will be back!! read more

Where do I even start! Another great find in this area that I never knew even existed and I'm so glad he found it. When we drove up, I literally said oh my gosh, this place looks so cute!... And then I got even more excited that they had a huge parking lot lol! We ordered French toast and a biscuit sandwich and had a bottle of champagne and pineapple juice and enjoyed our mimosas under a shaded patio. Their food was pretty good. The sandwich had perfectly runny egg on top of perfectly cooked patty. The French toast was just the right sweetness with fresh fruits. It was pretty darn good. Definitely enjoyed this place and I'm sure we'll be back again. Happy eating! read more

Needed a place for a pre meeting lunch with a colleague and found Lemon Poppy on a search. I chose it because of good reviews and lots of gluten free options. It did not disappoint! I had the special gingerbread lattes (amazing!) and my colleague had a dirty Macha latte. We both elected breakfast entrées for our lunch. My colleague chose the steak and eggs and I tried something I had never had before, the mamaliga (yum!) The inside is tiny, and I believe there is an outdoor area, but not usable on a rainy day. Everyone we encountered was friendly and happy to help with decisions on the menu. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area again. read more

First time here and the motive behind the two stars is the food! I ordered the salmon and eggs and none of my food had flavor. Also, my salmon was overcooked. The drinks I ordered was red sangria and hazelnut latte and they were not that good in my opinion. The sangria could have gave a little more sweet to it, and the latte was not that great. Their salt and pepper was only in the tiny paper packs that are on the plastic Togo utensils, which made out party question why they do that. !?? Hmmmm.... However, our server mason was good and funny. This made the experience better because he was the only one who had such a good personality out of the crew. It was 10 of us and we sat outside near a bush and that was annoying. My friend who did the reservations asked for inside, but once we got there they sat us outside anyways. The ambiance is just decent. Outside is not great, but inside is more live and better ambiance. It is small inside but better ambiance than outside. It's a lot of parking in the lot, so that was a plus. In a nutshell, I just think the food could have been made better and much more flavor. read more

I recently visited for the first time with my husband and had high expectations based on what I had heard. Unfortunately, our experience did not quite meet those expectations. The food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict, and the eggs were not prepared as expected. Eggs Benedict traditionally comes with poached eggs where the yoke is runny, and ours appeared to be over cooked where the yolk is hard. The service was the most disappointing part of the visit. I felt unwelcome and, at times, concerned that I may have been treated differently because of my race or appearance. Whether intentional or not, that was the impression we left with. I genuinely wanted to enjoy this restaurant and was hoping it would become a place I'd return to. I encourage owner & management to review customer feedback and address recurring concerns so future guests can have a better experience regardless of their color or race. Neighbor Advocate read more

Such a great place go for breakfast or lunch! The food here is excellent. Sitting outside is very pleasant. The servers are kind and thoughtful. And the baked goods are excellent. I lived in Romania from 1998 to 2000, and this is a Californian-style Romanian cuisine and it's great. read more

Hidden in a parking lot plaza, this little breakfast place shines bright with its yellow exterior. Plenty of seating inside and out. Loved the vibes here. Service was great if you enjoy a relaxing place to be. My friend and I came here for breakfast on a Monday morning. She got the Turkish eggs and I got the breakfast burrito. The burrito has these crispy potato's that was such a great addition. Both were yummy! They also have a spicy sauce on the side - mango habanero that I loved. Overall, great place to meet with a friend to catch up and food is decent for the price. It's a little bit of a mix between American and Mexican flavors. Almost like a testament to the area it's located in. read more

What a fun and cute little restaurant in a plaza! We went on a Saturday morning and sat outside! The server Mason was sooooo amazing and sweet!

Their vanilla lattes were on point too! Overall a great experience! read more

Cute spot and friendly service but the chilaquiles were a definite miss. It lacked flavor and spice. The chips could have been fresher. If I returned I would probably try their biscuits or sweet dishes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is decently sized. read more

Tough review to write - but necessary. This place is in our neighborhood, and we do go there frequently. I say this because my opinion, even though it may not matter to the proprietor, is based upon repeated experience. I know the place, quite well . . . and have spent quite a bit of money there over the past few years. First, the food is good, the menu offers a nice selection . . . but in terms of consistency of execution, I'd say that 1/3 the time something is not quite as what it should be. That's just too high a percentage. For example, the potatoes are usually crisp, but this is - not even remotely - something one can bank upon. Other shortfalls reside in service . . . such as dishes coming out cold. Just yesterday, I received a breakfast plate and the eggs were literally cold . . . and the place was not busy. As nice as most of the staff appear to be, I must also sadly report that service is more often than not spotty at best. Getting a coffee refill can sometimes require an act of Congress. My final comment is that from my vantage point, the menu prices have climbed around 60%(!) or higher over the past three or four years . . . yeah, I get it . . . inflation . . . but it's already reached a point given the aforementioned shortcomings to where the value simply isn't there. I got hit with a $4 upcharge for a biscuit over toast the other day, after the choice was presented as an option, not a charge. Add coffee, tax, tip, and all of a sudden I'm into a $ 34 plate of cold scrambled eggs and two pieces of bacon, one of which is mostly undercooked fat? It's a bit easier to excuse shortfalls when one is not paying top dollar . . . We'll be back. We do like the place . . . but the way things are going we won't be back as often . . . and that's a shame. read more

This place has very friendly workers and amazing food! The biscuit sandwich is our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE breakfast sandwich in this area. There is in door and outdoor seating available along with a bake case where you can see the different pastries right when you walk in! Such a positive atmosphere with the kind workers, they also gave me a birthday pastry that was really good as well because they overheard some birthday plans! Highly recommend !! read more

I've always loved lemon poppy and miss the vegetarian sandwich with sunflower bread. But this time I decided to try the breakfast burrito. What a disappointment! Too many potatoes, cheese barely melted, couldn't taste anything else besides those two ingredients. Missing flavor. I don't recommend this! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning, not busy at all. Customer service was great, food was delicious! Plenty of free parking in the parking lot.

Loved this place! The service was amazing and super dog friendly (s/o Mason)! We loved the chill atmosphere on the patio. We ordered mimosas for the table (pineapple) and loved it. The steak and eggs were a good portion and the fried potatoes that came with it were fantastic! We also ordered the huevos rancheros and loved them as well! Would definitely come back again! :) read more

Parking: Decent amount available in parking lot Ambience: Provides both indoor and outdoor seating, with the indoor decorations and staff providing a welcoming environment. Seems to be fairly busy around brunch time Service: Very friendly! Our server accidentally spilled some chips when he set a plate down, but he did offer to replace them, so no complaints here :) Taste: Got the chilaquiles and turkey avocado sandwich, both of which were great! The chilaquiles were seasoned well and packed with flavor, would highly recommend! read more

Came across this place while looking for a place to grab brunch at. I did not realize how popular their outdoor patio is, but there was definitely a wait for it when we arrived. We waited about 15 minutes and decided to sit indoors. It did take a while for someone to take our order, but the staff were all very nice and welcoming. We tried their steak & eggs and turkey avocado sandwich. The food was good, I was hoping to like the sandwich a bit more but it was fine. I would love to go back and sit on the patio! read more

Cute little spot for a quick brunch. Located in a small plaza with shared parking. I went for a late brunch on a Saturday and there was little parking but I got lucky because someone was leaving as I was arriving. They have an outdoor patio with a cool chill vibe. Good for small and larger groups it feels like. They also have pastries and a coffee menu so if you want to just order inside and go, you can definitely do that. It took them a while to seat us but once they did, service was quick. They took our order, brought out our food quickly, and the bill was on our table. I get that they're busy and probably need the space, but it did feel rushed, even though they reassured us that we could take our time. The menu has a lot of brunch staples. I went with the chilaquiles. They were ok. I would order something else next time but still glad I tried them. I also ordered a turmeric latte and that was good. We ended up ordering a pastry at the end. We dug into it before realizing they brought us the wrong order. Our waiter noticed and said he'd fix it but we told him we'd just keep it since we already had taken bites out of it. I'm glad he was attentive enough to realize the error and tried to rectify the issue, so extra points to the staff for being on top of their service despite the chaotic brunch rush! I would be interested in returning for a non weekend brunch to see how calm this place can get. I bet sitting on that patio on a nice quiet summer day would be amazing. read more

As a morning DoorDash driver, Lemon Poppy Kitchen is one of my favorite spots to pick up from! The staff is always on top of the orders and super friendly, even during the busy brunch rush. Orders are well-packed, labeled clearly, and ready on time -- which makes my job way easier and keeps customers happy. The vibe inside is warm and welcoming, with great smells coming from the kitchen -- honestly hard not to grab something for myself every time I'm here. Big shoutout to the team for keeping things efficient and professional. Solid spot for both customers and delivery drivers! read more

I just so happen to do laundry a few businesses' down from here, so when I'm waiting for my washers to finish - I pop on over for a quick bite. I get the same thing every time. I deviated once,but will never again. Turkish eggs. They are....the perfect meal. Garlicky, tangy, herby, spicy, eggy, bready - it's PERFECTION. It's literally the most perfect meal to exist, the only negative aspect is that eventually it ends. A solid shout out to the coke espresso - a favorite of mine. I am usually in and out before my washers finish, it makes doing laundry that much more bearable. read more
