Lemon Poppy Kitchen

Oof, I dropped by today for the first time and I'm already looking forward to the next time I'll be here :D Cutest little cafe with a nice shaded patio outside.I had a hair appointment next door at Gregga LA (with the amazing Amy!), but I got there early and decided to check Lemon Poppy out in the meantime. I couldn't be happier about this particular setup The cashier was super helpful and patient with me as I figured out what to order. I ended up getting an Iced Americano, the Tuna sandwich, and also their buttermilk biscuit. Their Americano was solid, along with their biscuit which I inhaled way too fast - I would literally come back for those two items alone. The tuna sandwich was good as well, but not my favorite. I only say that as I really wanted to get a brunch item if I had time to sit down, but since I didn't, I opted for the sandwich. But, I will say that the sweet pickles and olive spread made it not only tasty but also unique. Really enjoyed the arugula salad it came with and felt it complemented the flavors in the sandwich very well. Overall, it's good but not memorable imho.I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

It is in a very yellow building with inside and outside seating areas. Very neighborly vibe.There appears to be two or three wait staff taking care of the inside customers. They are very helpful but don't seem to know how to anticipate the needs of the customers. Ordinarily when it's breakfast, one would get the question if the customer wanted ketchup or any other condiments but that was not part of the wait staffs questions. I know that she didn't ask us because we had to ask for it. There were no condiments on the table so it should be part of their questions. Instead one gets ignored until your request creates more physical action.The food is very good. The cook actually knows how to cook "over easy". A fellow customer says though that it is a " hit or miss".

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.

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! :)

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.

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.

Parking: Decent amount available in parking lotAmbience: Provides both indoor and outdoor seating, with the indoor decorations and staff providing a welcoming environment. Seems to be fairly busy around brunch timeService: 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!

The turkish eggs are delightful. I've never had a dish like it. Great combination of flavors!

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!

The workers were nice. Signing up for a table is a sh*t show. The guy taking to go orders also puts names down for tables. After ordering I said "should I wait over there for a table?" He stated that he did my order to go and it seemed to cause a big stink with the staff. I don't know.. If the same guy is taking names for tables AND taking to-go orders, maybe ask "for here or to-go?" Really easy. Burrito was ok. A bit small for the price, but good. The side potatoes were good but WAY too many burnt inedible small pieces. Like 50/50 to edible parts. Honestly I don't think I'll go back again.
