Poppi, an Italian cafe, has opened its doors at 20 East 69th Street, between Fifth and Madison avenues. The new cafe “offers sweet treats including their signature hot chocolate, vanilla cream or raspberry bombolini, and a selection of Synful cookies and bars,” writes @madisonavebid. Products are sourced directly from Tuscany, and reviews are positive so far — with early patrons giving praise to Poppi’s friendly owner, charcuterie, coffee and more. The new spot has indoor and outdoor seating and also serves a variety of croissants and Italian sodas. Poppi is open Monday-Saturday from 7am-5pm and Sunday from 8am-5pm.
