Company description

Poppy is a female-owned sandwich shop Burlington’s Old North End. We aim to be a gathering space for the neighborhood, a go-to spot for a quality meal, a resource and partner for community groups, and a space where people feel at home. We love experimenting with new flavors and cuisines, focusing mainly on the many amazing local producers in VT. A lot of our sandwiches are reinventions of dishes from our childhood, meals we have had traveling, and new takes on old favorites. Our goal is to push people's preconceived notions of what a sandwich can be.

Poppy would not be what it is without the incredible people who work here. Making sure the team is supported and well compensated is a priority. Work life balance is extremely important to us which is why we are closed on weekends and focus solely on lunch (Tuesday-Friday). In addition to weekends off, we are periodically closed for stretches of times; sometimes it is all of January, other times it is one to two week stretches spread throughout the year depending on the team's needs and preferences. Almost all decisions at Poppy are made collaboratively as this is an important part of our culture here. You can find more general info about us on our website: https://www.poppyvt.com/

We formed a real-estate cooperative to purchase the building the cafe is in. It is currently owned by over 75 members of the community. The space itself it shared by three different food businesses. Poppy Cafe is open during the day,Fancy's is opened at night, and All Souls Tortilleria has a flour tortilla production space in the back barn. It is a thriving community of food businesses.

Above all, we value people, good food, and collaboration.
