Tall Poppy

Chelsea (Manhattan)

This week, we're excited to feature Tall Poppy, the Chelsea spot that's been making waves since opening in September 2024. Food reviewers are saying these might be the "butteriest croissant" in the city.

Tall Poppy comes from Nina, an Australian chef who brought her expertise to NYC's pastry scene with some seriously thoughtful technique. We're talking classic French methods with Australian-inspired twists that really stand out—like their Everything Cruffin that's basically a croissant-muffin hybrid stuffed with bagel seasoning and chive cream cheese.

The Tall Poppy team are total perfectionists who bake everything fresh in multiple batches throughout the morning in their basement kitchen, using only the highest quality ingredients they can get their hands on. They're doing creative stuff like making cinnamon rolls from croissant dough scraps and brown butter chocolate chunk cookies that are genuinely impressive.

What's drawing people in are their inventive flavor combos—think Matcha Strawberry croissants, Goat Cheese & Pecan with spicy honey drizzle, and a Persian Love Cookies with pistachio rose glaze. They’re honestly exceptional. Plus they ranked #3 on NYC's top new bakeries list for 2024, so they're clearly doing something special.

We can't wait for you to experience Tall Poppy.
