Fun new spot for a diverse menu. I live nearby and wanted to try this place. Walking in it had a very nice interior and lemon water in the lobby area.
I was immediately greeted and the gentleman was looking over the menu with me to help me decide on what to get. He recommended the Carbonara for pasta and Shrimp & Avocado for the salad. He suggested I try the meat pies, Risotto and the Tri-Tip salad, which I plan to do on my next visit. I also got the mango banana milk and chocolate strawberry cake from his recommendation.
The Carbonara was delectable. I loved the flavor of the sauce, it reminded me of clam chowder in a great way. Only downside is the bacon doesn’t add quite enough protein for me.
The salad had good quality ingredients that made it feel like a healthy and filling option. The balsamic vinegar I got along with it was good, but I would probably try something a bit creamier out of personal preference next time.
The Mango Banana milk was a blended drink with a milk base, so it was a bit frothy once prepared. The flavor was gentle and straight forward, seems like a natural drink. I personally would want to try something off of the mocktail menu next time to get something more unique.
The chocolate cake was not my favorite. The texture was squishy and reminiscent of a boba shop/asian dessert place due to being spongy and presentation. This is typically a preferred form for most people, but it was a little too damp for my preference. I would want to try the pastries they have.
Overall this was a great visit and I definitely want to come back! The server was incredibly helpful and very courteous with the assembly of my order. I need to try some of the famous meat pies to get the...
Read moreEverything was fresh. The crust was perfectly flaky and not too thick. Taste was great! We tried the creamy (chicken) and curry pies both great!
We ordered the mango salad, was great! Fresh, crisp greens, mango was sweet and perfectly ripe. Had craisins and feta or blue cheese crumbles. I maybe expected some red onions? Or maybe even soon candied or chopped nuts or pecans. On a typical mixed green fruit salad. It was still delicious!! I really enjoyed the pineapple dressing (got on the side to control amount= perfect)!
I ordered a passion fruit juice i did not realize it would be carbonated. I think it was sprite or something and then with added flavor syrup?? It was good and refreshing, but I'm not a big carbonation fan. And I was just surprised when it said, passion fruit juice. The waffle fries were amazing.I love the ranch dip. I love the fact that they add fruit infused water on the counter. It's out classy. Neither husband or daughter liked the water (highly concentrated eith fruit flavor & littld bitter). I thought it was fine and refreshing. May have been sitting awhile to really...
Read moreHad lunch today at PoPIE, and what a fantastic new addition to the neighborhood! Just opened about 10 days ago, and they’re already nailing it.
I ordered the Cream Meat Pie, which was filled with chicken and mushrooms in a delicious creamy sauce and baked perfectly. The side salad was fresh, colorful, and not just the usual lettuce-and-dressing combo. Their strawberry juice was phenomenal: sweet, refreshing, and clearly freshly made.
The husband-and-wife owners provided exceptional customer service. So friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate. They took the time to share the restaurant’s story, which added to the warm atmosphere.
Highly recommend checking out this local gem. Can’t wait...
