I finally stopped here after many times driving past on my way home to Auckland. Definitely worth the stop. Decent prices and nice service. I had a mocha and the big breakfast which looked so good I starting tucking in before I remembered to take a photo.

One of the best little cars around. Super friendly staff, really good coffee and a menu that is not too extravagant yet has something for everyone. I definitely recommend Poppy's when passing through Tirau.

A charming, pretty and quirky cafe.
I am always excited when I unexpectedly find cafes that offer foods for special dietary requirements. Poppy's offers great vegan options, so naturally I was compelled to order the most generous and mouth-watering meal I could choose.
We did not wait long to be served, but what a gift it is that the tables are equipped with games. These are probably intended for children, but I am a shameless millenial and playing Connect 4 while waiting was nostalgic and tremendously fun! When the food did arrive, it was hot and fresh and beautifully presented. I felt completely satisfied after my meal.
The cafe setup is rustic, comforting, and charming; the decor shows a lot of heart. I'd definitely recommend this place and hope to visit again soon.

I normally don't write reviews of cafés, but this one really deserved a good one! Really good food, and not overpriced, with excellent service. I really loved the atmosphere of the café too, it was really warm and cozy, with indoor and outdoor sheltered seating. It's such a cool idea that they had blankets on the seats as it's winter so everyone can keep warm! And the games on the tables were a really good idea too!! Our table had mini connect four and Uno which would make the café an excellent place for families to keep the little ones entertained. At the smaller tables, there were puzzle books which would make the café also good for dining alone. Such a great place and really recommend going here if passing through Tirau.
