Tall Poppy

It has now become one of my favorite bakeries. Outstanding croissants and buns. Overall strong flavors and on the sweet side. Good on a day you are craving sweet or deserve treats. Technically a take-out only spot, but now they put some chairs and tables outside. 🥐❤️‍🔥✨Croissant was a MUST! The dough was sooooo professionally made. Crispy layers, soft, chewy and pliable. 💜The fig one was really really delicious with a great balance between sweetness and saltiness. The Black Forest one was a little bit too intense (and no cherry flavors at all) but definitely for chocolate lovers. Buns are a YES. It was so soft, a little bit chewy and still pliable. However, flavors were really sweet. (just a reminder) Classic cinnamon one was straightforward. Thai tea flavor was even more sweet.

Have you ever had a croissant and then dreamt about it all day? I did after eating one at Tall Poppy. I sat outside at a small round red table to eat it. The croissant had a burnished golden exterior with a sheen of honey on top. The interior was buttery and flaky. Each bite gave me such joy and I ate it slowly. I always thought that the croissants at Alf’s Bakery and The Bakery at the Greywind were the best in the City. While they are good, Tall Poppy’s croissant is impressive and far superior.

Very good croissant! Tried the plain croissant, which was suuper buttery, with a sweet butter glaze on the outside. It is quite chewy and more dense- less light than a classic croissant. Definitely recommend- although it is quite pricey.

Tall Poppy in Chelsea won me over despite the sticker shock. I walked in knowing I was about to over $40 on three small pastries and a cold brew, and somehow walked out with zero regret. I came specifically for the Shakshuka Croissant. It’s filled with harissa-spiced tomato sauce, a soft jammy egg, and crumbled feta. On paper, it sounds incredible. Visually, it delivers. But mine wasn’t warm, and unfortunately they don’t have any way to reheat pastries. That definitely took something away from it. I kept thinking how amazing it must taste fresh out of the oven. But then the Everything Cruffin absolutely saved the day. It’s a croissant-muffin hybrid with housemade bagel seasoning and chive cream cheese inside. Unreal. The texture, the flavor, the cleverness of the concept. It’s what I’ll be coming back for. The Black Forest Croissant was also a star. Flaky and buttery, with a just-right bitter dark chocolate ganache and tart dried cherries inside. Not too sweet, not too rich. Just perfect. Coffee was forgettable, but the service wasn’t. Staff were friendly, quick, and happy to explain everything. You can tell they take pride in what they’re doing. Tall Poppy is not the kind of place you swing by every day, unless you’re living in a different financial reality. But when you need a treat, something special, it’s absolutely worth the splurge.

I’d give 4.5 to the pastries. Well executed, not too sweet but ultimately just not in a style I would pick again. Pistachios croissant had a vanilla crème inside and whole pistachios. Wrong? No. What I want? No. Strawberry miso bun, well made but lacking flavor. Like double the strawberry and miso please. Basically the things are made well but were too milk toast for me.

Cute little bakery with a lot of variety for creative pastries. However, I found most of them too sweet (which is a personal preference) and the brown butter chocolate chip cookie had good flavor but not enough chocolate chips. Garlic bread twist thing was good. Apparently their mocha cinnamon roll was the best. Would be down to try again

The pastries here are some of the best I have ever had! Incredible and unique flavors. Perfectly fluffy and crusty. Can’t wait to return.

Tall Poppy has been popular among pastry lovers in NYC recently. There is always a line in the morning and we couldn’t wait to give it a try. However, their pastries are not our style that the overall texture is too heavy and the layer is thick. It is really crispy with balanced flavors but we love pastries in airy and lighter style.

INCREDIBLE bakery!! We came here around 11am on a Friday and they had already sold half of their pastries. Come early if you want the entire selection! Highly highly recommend this spot! We got the everything cruffin and the strawberry miso bun. Both had just came out of the over and were slightly warm. The everything cruffin was gooey and so flavorful! The strawberry miso bun was slightly savory but was perfectly sweetened and so moist inside. Honestly can't come back to try more soon!

Cute little place with Delicious savory baked goods! I had the prosciutto and gruyere. It was tasty, I wish I had taken it home and warmed it before eating it. Everything cruffin has lots of cream cheese. Lots of other things with unexpected flavors to be found here. Def recommend!

Teeny tiny small-batch bakery, mostly for takeout. Don't let the long queues scare you, this place is pretty efficient and worth the wait! Service is friendly and I never felt in a rush to make a decision. We ordered the everything cruffin and prosciutto & gruyère. Both were phenomenal and I'd love to come back and try more pastries! They have tons of "traditional" pastries with a lot of unique flavors like a cacio e pepe cruffin or a goat cheese and pecan croissant.

Pretty great baked goods. Love the fact they provide ample fillings for their flavored croissants. They usually have two sets of tables outside for seating. It's a tiny walk-in order and walk out kinda place. If you need a spot to sit, walk further down to a park with ample benches and picnic tables.

Thank God I don't live nearby because I would weigh 500lbs from eating this everyday! Finally got to this small brick and mortar and tried the banoffee cruffin and bacon egg and cheese croissant. Both were delish. Great conversations service and even clientele. The girl in front of my lives nearby and helped me with what to order. Can't wait to go back and try more, flavors change monthly!

Get the cheesey garlic croissant, it is ridiculous!!!! This small little shop is a great addition to the city for NY food lovers. The lady at the counter is sweet and everyone seems excited to get a nice croissant from Tall Poppy.

Loved this spot. So good. Wish they had more of a selection of coffees and teas and some seating area. Still amazing. The owner is super nice.

Tried the viral poppy and croissant here; brie, bear combo, goat cheese, and chocolate croissant. My fav was the chocolate croissant, which was recommended by the staff. It's flaky and crispy outside and dark chocolate chucks inside and it's Devine !! Must try!! I'll def be going back to try other flavors but getting chocolate croissant for sure Place is small, no seating indoor just few outside on sidewalk. Got there 10AM with some waiting, I passed by an hour after and there was no line. As for price it's alittle steep, goat cheese was $9, Brie was $8, and chocolate croissant was $7.5 I think.

Adorable new spot serving killer croissants in Chelsea. I got the plain and it was $7.08. I missed the chocolate by seconds and that was unfortunate. You've got to go early The plain was super flaky but topped with an untraditional simple syrup which left my hands sticky. Will try the chocolate soon..

I just left Tall Poppy and I'm writing this review in the lobby of hair salon. My wife is getting her hair done so I have time to enjoy my freshly baked croissant. And did this croissant shoot up to the top five in NYC! Tall Poppy has been open for about two weeks and already there is a buzz. I left super early from Long Island and I blazed it just right, there's only 4 people in front of me. Once inside, it's standing room only. There is no place to sit and eat while sipping on lattes. Get your baked items and GTFO. I must point out they ran out of pistachio croissants, the next batch will be ready at 9:30. Oh well. Forget all that nonsense. The reason why we're all here on line is to try this new comer from down under. This is New York City, a pretty face on TikToc will get you so far. Well I'm happy to report the ladies have planted their flag and make an incredible product. Buttery, flakey and the interior of the croissant was spongy?! Man, that's just lovely on Saturday morning. My wife is in the car and I watched her take a bite. She had the same look of curiosity, what is that?? The cookie was the same thing, we broke it open to find its loaded with chocolate. Levain shouldn't be concerned but the Tall Poppy cookie was small but packed a serious chocolate punch. Tall poppy, it was a pleasure to try one of the top 5 croissants in my New York City.

Big things come in small packages. Tall Poppy is a new postage-sized bakery with the most delicious pastries I've ever tasted. Well, I had only the goat cheese, hot honey, and pecan croissant [$9] and it absolutely blew my mind. They are very generous with the filling and the flakey croissant was outrageous and buttery. I was eyeing the other items in the pastry case and I think I may need to come back relatively soon. The woman who was helping everyone was also very delightful. There's a park relatively close by where you can sit and enjoy your baked goods and coffee.

I was excited to finally see Tall Poppy open for business after seeing their adorable croissant sign in the window for the past few months. I stopped by earlier today on a whim (1 hour before closing) and snagged their everything cruffin with chive cream cheese since they were sold out of pretty much everything else. As soon as I got home, I immediately regret not getting more! The cruffin is SO soft and buttery. The everything seasoning was delicious (not too salty, like some can be) and had just the right amount of chive cream cheese. Wasn't sure what to expect but was blown away by how good this was. For sure will be back!! As others mentioned, this is a small place and I've seen people line up before it opens in the morning. There's no seating inside so it's more of a grab-and-go place (although there are two tables outside). Absolutely recommend!!

Wow! This place is really good, one of the best I've had recently. Opening just last week, this bakery is making moves. Already having most of things sold out (Sat 10 am), I was able to snag the pistachio and prosciutto/gruyeire croissant! Although a bit pricier, the pastries are very good and have a great amount of filling. The croissant was so flaky and delicious! They said they were also planning on doubling production next week, so that's exciting!

The smell of this place is intoxicating and can't be missed as you walk by. Second visit here - I returned for the everything cruffin which was just as great as the first time. They had some newer savory and sweet options today that I would like to return and try.

The shop is very small easy to miss it's in like an ap like storefront. The stuff was very nice. I got the cacio Pepe cruffin. It had good flavors but found it too dense in the middle. Wish the flavors came across more clear

Amazing amazing baked goods, highly recommend and in such a convenient location! Service was quick and friendly, and place has no seating fyi so it's definitely more of a to go spot. Ambiance is clean and modern!

Mmmm loved the Everything Cruffin, filled with chive cream cheese, $8! Lots of great options to try in the future.

Tall Poppy does baked goods right! Everything is baked fresh daily in the basement (down under if you will!) and is Australian inspired. Their flavors are different, a combo of sweet and salty. The staff is super friendly and knows all of their products so well. They also a very aesthetic wall behind the baked goods, comprised of books, merch, and other products. It feels like a local place already, as the workers know the customers names. Definitely go check them out!

Ahhhhhhh This morning, my fiancé woke me up and told me to get dressed (in hurry). ... perfect morning !! I just wish I could accurately share the taste of their pastry . It's now my favorite croissant in NYC. Everything about it is just so perfect. The line can get pretty long, but I mean, you're getting the best pastry, so who cares. Tiny space but the taste isn't tiny at all.

4.5 in reality - this little shop is adorable and their croissants are truly some of the best in the city! the only reason i can't give it 5 stars is the fact that they are so expensive. i got a pain au chocolat today and it rang up at a little over $8 - the other flavors are likely at $10 or more. that seems a bit excessive to me, but definitely worth a try!

Got in just before closing to see a limited selection of cruffins. A very helpful staff member helped me get a Chai Orange cruffin and I was not disappointed. The filling was creamy and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The "cruffin" portion was light and scrumptious. I can't wait to go back and try some others.

I have actually travelled all the way to Brooklyn on weekend mornings for some of the city's best pastries. Now I can just walk around the corner! The cafe has limited hours, but they are open when you expect & need a good bakery. And they bake enough to sell out, so go early. The space is small but it's also very bright and open. I love that the display case is right there - IN the counter! And there are some cafe tables/chairs outside (although the view isn't the greatest - yet, anyway). The folks working were presumably the owners, who are lovely. We tried the Everything Cruffin (I know, another riff of the Cronut, but it's worth it), and a spinach croissant. So rich and buttery without being too heavy. This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. I look forward to trying one of their drinks next time!

Absolutely incredible cruffins - the best I've ever had. The texture is literally perfect and the flavor incredible. Couldn't believe how good they were. Tiny shop, no seating inside but two tables and 4 chairs outside. Wish they had a bigger space with indoor seating. They sell out of flavors early at least on Saturday so go early if you want a big selection. Will definitely go back!! And super nice staff, guessing it's the owner.

I was happy when they opened but the cruffin I got was meh. Dough was nothing like a croissant and the filling was equally mediocre. $8.71?!? If you want great pastries, go to Librae or Petit Chou.

I got the everything cruffin and the potato leek cruffin. The everything cruffin had a hair on it and the potato leek cruffin was way too oily. Honestly I don't get the hype for the everything cruffin but it was good. The guy who works there is really nice though. The store is small and there is seating only outside.

this place is hands down the best pastries in nyc!! you must go here it is so worth the journey
