Poppyseeds is much more than a 7am-3pm super fresh sandwich drop-in spot.  This Wells St lunchtime institution has just celebrated a quarter of a century of creating scrumptious European-inspired food that customers just can’t seem to get enough of.
The clue to Poppyseeds’ success is fresh is best - plus a whole lot of family devotion.

Sandra Salpietro named the eatery after her much-loved grandmother Caliope (Poppy) Mexis, who owned the iconic Athens Café in Frankston from the late 1930s through to the late ‘50s.  (You can still drink your coffee today from the original Athens Café crockery while sampling home-made Greek and Italian treats. What stories those coffee cups could tell if they could talk!)

Sandra’s mother Aspasia is Greek and her father Angelo is Italian, and both of them work alongside Sandra and her husband Michael (Stuart).  All the food at Poppyseeds is made on-site from fresh Peninsula-procured produce and the sandwiches are prepared while you wait - you can even construct your own sandwich masterpiece!  All packaging is supplied by a Frankston business and there is also a wide range of deli and international food for purchase.
Pop in to Poppyseeds – 25 years on and still going strong.
