If you’re in town, go to Poppy’s for your smoothie needs or coffee needs of course. They can make basically anything you want and most likely, if she doesn’t have something, she’ll try to put in a special order for a special ingredient just for you. They actually do care if you enjoy what they make, so don’t be surprised if Lori asks you to taste something in front of her bc she honestly wants to know if you like it.

Lori and Greg are packed with knowledge in herbs/natural ingredients too. They also have other interesting and health-minded things there that you can’t really get anywhere else around these parts. Beyond the drinks or the food there, those owners LOVE their community. They donate their time for so many things-included providing food and clothing for anyone who wants/needs it. They are locally owned and operated and their love, dedication, taxes, and money goes mostly directly toward our community.

It's a warm, loving, peaceful, feeling that makes everybody feel at home when they walk through the door. I'd bet that they pray over that place every day. & God is blessing them & that place. After being there, I now recommend it to all. & may God continue to bless & work...
Read moreI was driving through from West Virginia towards Cincinnati on the Sunday afternoon of Labor Day Weekend, and I stopped in Gallipolis to get a charge on my electric car. I was looking for a place to eat but everything nearby was closed. Walking past Poppy's, the owner was outside and we chatted a few minutes. I asked where I could eat and she invited me in to get me fed even though she was closed! Had a great chat with her and her grandson, and they enjoyed seeing my EV. Thanks so much for the hospitality and warmth and I will definitely stop by to see you guys the next time I'm through...
