ISO poppy seeds

I desperately want to make a lemon poppy seed cake, but I can't find poppy seeds anywhere! I've searched PA, Marche Lobo, and Provigo. Any suggestions?

    I buy mine at Les Douceurs du Marche at Atwater market. Make sure they're fresh, and store the leftover poppyseeds (if you have any) in the freezer, as they turn rancid fairly easily.

      Most "vrac" stores should have them. You can also try Eastern European markets (Bucharest, Mish, Slovenia etc..) as poppy seeds are very common in baking.
