Poppy Cake Baking Company - Sierra Madre Location — Restaurant in Sierra Madre

Seriously. This is the best bakery anywhere in the San Gabriel valley. It surely must rank in the best bakeries in all of LA County. Their croissants alone qualify them for that status. After having lived in France for almost two years, I could never find a decent croissant anywhere in the States that came close to what I could get in Europe. Until I bit into one of Poppy Cake's croissants. Good grief. They are really that good. Perfectly crisp and crunchy on the outside, and decadently chewy and buttery on the inside. And truly, pretty much all of their other baked goods are at that level of excellence and perfection. Their freshly baked breads are some of the best around, especially the Country White and the Multi-Grain. Their many other baked goods are exquisite - the almond croissants, the apple bear claw, and their morning buns are all baked to perfection and have just the right level of sweetness so they can satisfy a craving but don't make you regret eating too much sugar. Their sandwiches are consistently good, their Fried Chicken is fantastic. And their chocolate cakes are heaven. We go there several times a week. Their chocolate chip cookies are so incredible, it's hard to share them with the kids. How on earth is a bakery...

I wanted to try this cafe after reading some great reviews. Although the shop is very cute and had many options - the customer service was much to be desired. I called in my order and first red flag was how rude the lady on the call was. I came in to pick up and let it go. I think the lady is the owner, she was just as rude and unfriendly in person. The brunette young lady at the register was very sweet and made the situation a lot better. If I’m spending money at your establishment, the least you can do is be courteous.

Edit: everything I purchased was excellent. I appreciate the quick response...

Right after a hike i desperately need some coffee and yelped this place literally 4 min from where i parked. I tried their Turkey/Cranberry Sandwich on Sourdough and was one of the best turkey sandwiches ive had in my life. My friend bough a Chocolate Butterscotch cookie and i was overwhelmed with glee like someone injected me with steroids'. We instantly turned around and went back inside and bought 6 Cookies, Cheese Danishes and Almond Croissant. Best Almond Croissant ive ever had in my life. Im from Carson California and plan to make the drive to buy pastries for my family. Please open...
