The Golden Poppy Market

I stumbled across Golden Poppy Market while exploring side streets near Hermosa Beach. It’s a small gourmet grocery and deli with a well-chosen assortment of cheeses, olives, local honey, and charcuterie. I picked up an olive tapenade, a baguette, and some lemon curd, and the staff even offered me a taste of a new jam they were promoting. The interior is well organized and bright, with a small counter to eat at. They don’t have a huge parking lot, but street parking was manageable. It’s a great little stop if you're doing a picnic or want artisan snacks

Very cute spot with a great selection of pasta, canned fish, fresh produce and more. Owner seems very friendly and is superbly eclectic. Great vibes in this spot.

SUCH A CUTE SPOT. It was fun looking around and picking yummy chips and treats. Such a vibe in here I love it.

Wonderful selection of foods. They carry bub and grandmas bread! Everything from frozen to pantry items. Super cute decor too :)

My husband and I love this store. It has everything we need and then some! The sweetest and kindest people work here too. So glad we have this close by.

What a sweet little store! Fresh fruit, veggies, baked goods and snacks. So glad I w stumbled upon it!

Golden Poppy Market in Los Angeles feels like someone took your dream pantry, your aspirational wellness goals, and your fantasy dinner party—and shelved it all in a clean, calm, perfectly sunlit space. This isn’t just a neighborhood market; it’s a masterclass in curation. Every item, from the impeccably sourced produce to the niche indie chocolate bars you didn’t know you needed, seems chosen with almost obsessive care. You don’t browse here—you discover. Local farms, regenerative brands, small-batch everything. Nothing feels mass-produced, rushed, or haphazard. The vibe is minimalist but warm—think apothecary-meets-modern pantry with quiet jazz in the background. There’s no overwhelming wall of cereal or fifty versions of ketchup. Instead, the inventory whispers: “This is the one you want.” It’s hard not to linger. The in-house products (particularly the ferments, teas, and nut butters) are special enough to warrant their own Instagram fan base. And if you’re into natural beauty, their body care and skincare shelf could convert even a Sephora loyalist. You’ll find tonics, tinctures, and rare adaptogens that would make a naturopath cry tears of joy. Golden Poppy doesn’t just sell things—it radiates values: sustainability, slow living, and taste (with a capital T). It’s the kind of market where you walk in for oat milk and leave with a bottle of sea buckthorn oil and renewed faith in human intention. In short, Golden Poppy is a temple of thoughtful consumption—and yes, it’s a little precious, but that’s the point.

The best little market in all of LA. Everything one may need for the comforts of home. Fresh produce, flowers and pantry items along with a touch of whimsy and humor. Love Golden Poppy World

Amazing little grocery market in Cypress Park. Has everything you need for a quick meal or home essentials. Whomever does the buying/stocking is really talented in my opinion. If you're in the area/neighborhood I recommend stopping by. The tuna salad sandwich is phenomenal!

Beautiful market! Fun to walk around and explore. Has a solid selection of snacks and food to make a meal with some support (prepared foods) or from scratch. They carry various brands and high grade ingredients including beans, flour, and grains (although I wish they had corn and amaranth too!). Got some tasty snacks including potato chips, cacao and non alcoholic drink.

Neighborhood market with a lot to offer. They have all things for cooking and baking. You can even snag a sweet treat by the cashier to treat yourself after grocery shopping. It is a nice quiet place to do some shopping for that special dish you are planning on cooking.

Mild food selection. Cute store but even more pricey than Whole Foods and you can get the same items maybe fresher for a bit cheaper. If you're around the neighborhood and desperately need that 1 thing here is cool. Staff was trying to be welcoming but you could tell if was a show. Even the website seems a little self centered. Experience is lack luster.

This is the market I've been looking for. Located on the cutest, hippest street in Cypress Park, it had such a well-curated selection of pantry items and grab and go eats. The vibes were all there. The walk through was its own experience. Would recommend for a quick lunch!

Stopped by after visiting loquat coffee nearby. Such a cute specialty store with a variety of goods. They have basically any specific item you may not be able to find in your local grocery store. In addition to produce and frozen/refrigerated items they also have done little bagged treats like cookies, muffins and pastries. Their produce seems to be local and seasonal which is always nice. Their frozen items include anything from alligator brautwursts to ramen kits. The guy who worked there who may be the owner was also super sweet. Super super cute back patio area where you can enjoy your pastry!

Adorable, thoughtfully curated, upscale neighborhood bodega with wonderfully friendly staff. You will always find fun and delicious things here!

Cute little market to get the things you need. Grab a drink, sandwich, flowers, sauces, and more. Got an Uncle Paulie's Turkey Pesto sandwich but the turkey meat was on the salty side. I may come back and try a different sandwich.

Amazing little market. Like a fancy bodega. Fancy cheeses and chocolates. Even has a produce section. Picked up the "bodega box" from them through the TooGoodtoGo app for cheap and it did not disappoint! Very happy with our surprise box of stuff. It was all good stuff! Some dragon fruit, a fancy pasta sauce. (I love to use the word "fancy" because all the stuff here is pretty fancy. * note you won't get the same stuff I got. It's gonna be a surprise!

I would never in my life set foot in this shop again. My 5 year old son and I purchased a number of items including a lollipop. On our way out we noticed the lollipop was cracked in half. We walked right back into the store and asked the cashier if we could exchange it for an unbroken lollipop. The cashier said my son likely cracked it, I assured her he hadn't, and she accused us of being dishonest because she personally checked them all. My son, who also spoke up and said he didn't break it, was heart broken for being accused of not telling the truth. Why have candy if you don't trust children or are so cold that you don't care to make them happy? UPDATE TO OWNER'S BELOW RESPONSE (01/14/23): I submitted the above review in a moment of frustration, but appreciation that everyone has off days, and maybe the lady I interacted with was having just that, an off day. With that in mind, I honestly thought I'd likely some sort of response that "this is a huge misunderstanding" or "I'm sorry and I'd like to make things right." I couldn't not have been more wrong, and am honestly disgusted by the owners response. To be completely clear, my son didn't break the lollipop. It had a crack that my son noticed when we're outside walking past the coffee shop next door. My wife and our other son continued to the car and i walked back with my son to exchange the damaged item. When we entered the store the owner was ringing up the young lady who was checking out after us. We waited a minute or two while the owner finished ringing up the other customer. I explained that my son noticed the crack running across the top (it wasn't shattered, and I can't believe I have to write this) and asked if he could please exchange the item. The owner, who I now know from her below response is in constant lollipop battles, said the items were brittle and that he (my son) likely dropped it. Knowing that he hadn't, I gave my FIVE YEAR OLD SON an opportunity to speak up by asking him if he dropped or broke it, and he said "no." Had he dropped or broke it, then of course we wouldn't ask to exchange it. Despite his response, the owner still declined to replace the item. She's right in one regard, she didn't outright use the word "dishonest." Instead, said she wouldn't replace piece of candy because my son likely broke it, he spoke up and said he didn't, the inference is clear that she thought he was dishonest. Or another possibility, maybe the thing just broke without anyone dropping it given how brittle it is? Maybe he bumped the door in the way out? Or maybe it had a small crack that went unnoticed until he took a closer look while walking to the car? Who knows? Either way, he was truly heartbroken and was being completely honest when given an opportunity to speak up. Just so everyone is clear,this entire thread is about a $3.00 lollipop, a five year old boy who said he didn't break it, and an owner who provided the below response. Like I said to the owner, it's not about the lollipop. What I should have elaborated on, and what the owner clearly is still missing, is that she made a little kid feel like a liar, which she did in spades.

This market is so very special. It's geniously curated . The environmental esthetic is perfect. It rounds out one of the most special blocks in Los Angeles. You could literally give up every grocery store and just shop here for 99% of your needs. Thank you for making such a special place and locating it in this magical place.

Fun shop with specialty goods. Perfect spot to pick up that missing ingredient or to plan a magical meal. Top notch and helpful service.

While on a recent vacation to LA I popped into this market looking for some snacks. It did not disappoint. The owner who was working there was gracious and gorgeous. The space is beautiful from the signage & custom wallpaper to the cute back patio. Every detail is well thought out, the items are neatly displayed and curated. Whether you need a jar of fancy pickles, natural cleaning products or some fresh produce you should check this place out and support this small business. What a great neighborhood store, I wish I had one near me!

Love this place! Brian and Michelle are wonderful and put their heart and soul in every detail from the wall paper, to the groceries, to the displays, you name it! Everything they sell is so fresh and well thought out. Please visit this neighborhood gem if you haven't already!

Great market !!!! The owners in this establishment are so friendly !! Everything in market is so fresh . The whole entire staff were so helpful and can tell they love what they do. Will come back to this shop since live right down the street ! Highly recommend this market !

It's a DEELicous, gourmet food heaven that would be at home in places like San Marino, Berkeley, or Laguna, but we are lucky enough to have them in Cypress Park! If they rented apartments in the back, I'd never have to leave. Freshly made sandwiches, cookies, pop tarts, desserts, snacks, and everything else you will ever need. Go there now and buy everything you can fit in your car like I did. You won't be disappointed.

so happy this store opened in our neighborhood. it is great for quick needs for produce, fresh bread, cheeses, delicious treats and more. Especially like the Bub & Grandma's bread. There is always something new on the shelves. (and a fun and inviting interior, with a cute quiet back patio to eat lunch in, as well!)

Such a lovely little market, so happy they in our neighborhood. Lots to love, beautifully curated food. Rancho gordo beans, momofuco chili crisp and noodles, great canned tomatoes, Bub and grandmas bread... colorfully packaged tuna and shortbread. The perfect spot to find a gift for the foodie in your life ( me) or just to pick up some good ice cream, a cucumber and sandwich. And the owners are super sweet. Let's sup

A small shop with a really interesting and delicious selection of local and global foods. It's pricy, but worth it for most of their unique offerings. The owner is fabulous.

I am a strong supporter of neighborhood small markets. from the old bodegas of east L.A. to the kosher markets that used to be by Fairfax. I seldom drive, and will always patronize a store that brings back the sense of community that our expanding city lacks. Golden Poppy fits the bill, and it's also beautiful! Convenience? absolutely. Do you live close and need a quick bag of flour? Forget hauling your gas-guzzler to a crowded supermarket. Instead, get some fresh air, some exercise, and walk to a local small market. Chat with the friendly owner, hang out in the shady patio, have a soda. Groceries too heavy? Purchase a foldable push trolly like your grandma used to have. Thanks Golden Poppy for bringing back a mom/pop grocery stores

I'm so glad that this adorable bodega is so close to my house, as I can grab and go any meal of the day. Love how they have cuter more artisanal and delicious versions of everything that the corner store would carry, with a concentration on local goods that rotate so it feels delightfully new every time. From the wallpaper to the flooring to the vintage ceramic displays, shopping there feels special, and their careful curation makes each meal and snack feel extra-special as well!

Very nice new market in the neighborhood. Good selection of quality foods and produce. Non perishables, fresh, vegan and frozen. Even a very decent candy section. The prices may be a little higher than other places however they have sorted through the many selections available to bring you the higher end of groceries. Products that you might end up going to different places to get can be found here. Selection could be improved by offering meats, beer and wine. Perhaps they could work with their neighbor that runs the liquor store to help consumers "complete" their meals when shopping for lunch or dinner. Overall a great place, and much needed choice for shopping in the community. Brian and Michelle are very friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely continue to shop here especially when I don't want to sift through all the "noise" you find at larger stores.

Great little neighborhood market that has a great selection of fresh groceries and treats.

A great little market! A very welcome addition to Cypress Park. That whole strip is becoming very cute. The market is well curated with a mixture of high quality fresh foods and some staples. I've made it part of my shopping as they have fresh bread!

Wow. Organic fruit and veggies, A2 milk, Strauss ice cream... should I even keep going!! This place only stocks the good stuff, great neighborhood market and super friendly

I really, really like this place. They're friendly, not over-priced, and have something for everyone. As a neighbor, I am super pleased they are here. Music is A+, too!

sweet friendly neighborhood spot with a lot of yummy niche food offerings. Michelle and Brian, the owners, are so nice!
