🎉ONE YEAR OF POPPIES!🎉

10.24.25 — almost one year ago, Chef Oliver and the team opened the doors to Poppies, and what a year it’s been!

What started as a dream has grown into something bigger than we could have ever imagined. From friends and family who supported us from day one to strangers who have become part of our Poppies family, we truly couldn’t have done this without you.

Every visit, every order, every kind word, and every bit of support has helped make this dream a reality. We’re beyond grateful for everyone who has been part of our journey, and we can’t wait to see what year two has in store for us!

And of course, we wouldn’t celebrate without giving a little something back...

🇮🇹 $6 GNOCCHI TRIOS 🇮🇹
October 24th
First 100 people in-store only!

Come celebrate ONE YEAR of handmade pasta, big dreams, and the amazing community that made it all possible.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for making Poppies what it is today 🫶🏽

✨2 MONTH UPDATE ✨

552 Crescent Blvd, Glen Ellyn, IL 📍

The Pasta Lab — where handmade pasta will be crafted with care, made to order, and transformed into Poppies signatures.

Two months in, and we’ve submitted everything from permits to plan review. Now comes the hard part… the waiting game 🫠

While we wait for everything to move through the process, please keep showing our Villa Park location some love. Your continued support means everything to us and is what’s helping make this next chapter possible!

In the meantime, Chef Oliver will be looking for potential members of the new Poppies GE team as we get closer to an opening date.

If you have kitchen experience and are interested in joining our team, please reach out to the Chef Oliver Melgar!

We’re getting closer!
Glen Ellyn, we’ll see you soon 🫶🏽

1 MONTH UPDATE — POPPIES 2.0 🏗️

It’s officially been one month since we started working on our second location, and while it hasn’t exactly gone according to plan… we’re still moving forward! 💪🏽

We’ve definitely hit a few unexpected roadblocks. Due to the existing canopy being built without the proper permits, unfortunately, it has to come down — which means going through the demolition permit process.

We’ve also learned that, due to Village of Glen Ellyn requirements, we can’t have an outdoor patio until we add a second bathroom. So, for now, we’ll be starting with takeout and limited indoor seating while we continue working toward the full vision.

But there’s been a LOT of progress inside. We’ve completely cleaned, painted, reorganized, and given the space a much-needed refresh.

And one of the things we’re most excited about…

This location will have a PASTA LAB 🧑🏽‍🍳

A dedicated space for making pasta, experimenting with new shapes and fillings, testing ideas, and continuing to push what we can do at Poppies.

It may be taking a little longer than we hoped, but we’re building this the right way — one step at a time.

Thank you for continuing to support us, believe in us, and follow along. We can’t wait to open the doors and show you what we’ve been working on 🍝🫶🏽
