BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A new outpost of the Cobble Hill cafe and bakery Poppy’s will be moving into the location of the long-time Brooklyn Heights neighborhood favorite Cranberry’s, which shuttered in summer of 2020 after 42 years, according to Eater.

Poppy’s, which is also an event caterer, serves similar foods as Cranberry’s once did – breakfast pastries, soups, sandwiches, prepared salads and a wide variety of specialty coffees – and wrote in an Instagram post that they will be coming in sometime in the fall of this year.

Cranberry’s was one of several area businesses affected by the pandemic, and many were saddened to learn of their closing; the Brooklyn Heights Blog reports that the Montemarano family posted a notice in the shop’s window in 2020 thanking customers and employees for their years of support: “We may have poured our final cup of coffee, but our employees will always be a part of our lives. Our hearts are full of love and respect for everyone who has worked at Cranberry’s. Thank you for being a part of our family.”
