POPPY'S 3

Poppy's 3 is like that friend who’s always late to the party but brings the best snacks. The Thai food here is surprisingly good, especially the Pad Thai and the Panang curry. You might have to bundle up a bit since the place can be a bit chilly, but the flavors will warm you right up. It’s cozy and charming, with a quirky vibe that will make your Instagram jealous.

The staff generally keep it together, but they might need a crash course in the art of smiles. Most of the time, you’ll get good food and decent service — unless the universe decides otherwise. It’s a solid choice for a casual meal, as long as you don’t mind dodging the cash-only rule.
