Lemon Poppy Kitchen

I have accidentally found the greatest toast in all of America. I was here to meet some friends for an event and thought I’d pop in for a quick bite. I ordered the avocado toast thinking it would be an unremarkable snack. Have you ever experienced something so above and beyond expectation you wonder if you’re on a hidden camera show? This toast is that good. Toppings were fresh, seasoning was on point, and the toast was perfectly soft but toasty. Also ordered the Michelle Wi which lemonade and black tea. Great atmosphere, really friendly staff, nice patio and neighborhood parking nearby. Would it be rude if I ordered another toast? Actually considering it.

We love this place! The food is great. The service is impeccable and they even bring your dog 🐶 a water bowl so they can drink. I 100% recommend their biscuit with their house jam.

This is a wonderful spot for a Saturday morning breakfast/ brunch. I ordered the Flapjack and fried chicken plate. I was pleasantly surprised by the spiciness in the syrup dipping sauce. It paired nicely with the slightly savory flapjack and perfectly seasoned chicken.

If I could put more than 5 stars, I would! Admittedly, I wanted to go somewhere else and was wary of the intricate menu with specialty food items that weren’t basic breakfast foods. However, fear not! The french toast is incredible, filling, and delicious. Truly one of the best french toasts I’ve ever had. I got full off of 1 slice, some of the chicken sausage and most of the scrambled eggs. I walked away with another meal that I cannot wait to eat! The mascarpone whip was also very delicious, I got it on the side just so I could eat however much I wanted without it being everywhere. The chicken sausage is great, seasoned well, and juicy. Eggs were nice and fluffy. As for service, we were seated quickly and the food came out quick as well. It was also easy to make substitutes. The patio space is beautiful and I recommend sitting there if there’s space/weather permits. My mom got the biscuit sandwich and she loved it. Ate every bite happily! My sister got the basic and also loved it. Would definitely recommend this place!! I hope to come back soon.

Food was amazing. Had the Cali scramble and the fried chicken and pancakes. The guy who greeted us at first was very nice. After that, the service was sub par. Food got there and we didn’t have silverware. Then the waitress never came back to check on us. I asked for a coffee refill and she forgot. Had to ask someone else afterwards. Maybe it was just of off day for them. Food wise, fantastic. Would definitely return.

first time eating here everything was amazing. Food service was amazing. The food is amazing. I’m glad that I live close by to this awesome coffee shop definitely coming back. Good job guys. Keep up the good work. !!!!!!!!!!

The food is delicious and the people working there are very nice and happy. The desserts are good too. Med chicken was very juicy and yummy with the added yogurt. The turkey sandwich was tasty but nothing too special. The place overall is a good neighborhood sandwich shop but nothing crazy special like it was reported to be in the article I read about it.

Lemon Poppy made some changes a number of months ago (maybe a year!? I can’t remember how long it’s been). It’s been an amazing spot long before those changes, but is even better now. Amazing food, drinks, AND atmosphere tucked back on a quiet part of Verdugo Road behind Eagle Rock Blvd. Great spot and near our studio. Will keep coming here for years / as long as they’re around!
