Poppleton Pastries

Recently, I've been spending quite a bit of time in Corning, New York, and, with the help of a friend, discovered some wonderful new eateries that I feel are worth writing about. First and foremost is Poppleton Pastries, a fantastic and intriguing bakery/cafe duo. It is located on Market St. in Corning, and is just one of many small businesses that has taken root there. 

One of the first things you notice when walking into Poppleton is the decor. It is a chic place, decorated in mostly black and white with splashes of pink throughout. Another defining feature is that of the chalkboard art hung around the interior. Many of these boards contained humorous sayings that instantly lifted my spirits. "Stop in and get sconed," and "Diets are overrated" were two of my personal favorites. The combination of hand drawn chalkboards with the sleek black and white interior and random bursts of bright pink was a great combination.

If the interior wasn't enough to have you intrigued, the food will be. Poppleton boasts some of the most delicious looking and smelling pastries that I have ever encountered (and trust me, I have encountered many). In addition, I indulged in two different types of cake while I was there. Both were unbelievably delicious. If the cake and pastries weren't enough to have you drooling, Poppleton is also home to a grilled cheese bar. With 8 different varieties of grilled cheese sandwiches available, the grilled cheese bar quickly became one of my favorite features of the establishment. And still, if even all of that is not enough to entice you, Poppleton had one more gem that I happened to discover: A hot chocolate bar. Yes, that's right folks, you can get a variety of hot chocolates at Poppleton too. Everything I tried at Poppleton Pastries was delicious, and reasonably priced as well.

With a winning combination of delicious goodies, great service, reasonable prices, and fun-filled decor, this is certainly one eatery I will be going back to. There is simply no way to try everything you want to try on the first trip. If you are ever in the Corning area, make sure to stop and visit Poppleton Pastries on your way through. I can assure you you will not regret a single minute of it.
