They may also have live music sometimes. Prices are good, although the portions are on the smaller side. They have a lot of bread options, so it's a nice place if you're a smaller eater. The food was generally good: Iced Matcha Latte -- 2/5 Iced Coffee -- 4/5 Classic Turkey -- 4/5 Yogurt -- 4/5 The B.E.A.S.T. -- 5/5 The place looks clean at first, but looking closer, I noticed quite a few flies and some dust on the floor, which took away from the experience. Drinks were okay overall. Still, the food, atmosphere, space, and baby-friendly setup make it a good spot.

LOCATION: on the tiniest Main Street I know Adorable…read more"downtown " Wappingers Falls, NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley, just 12 minutes from Metro North's New Hamburg station on the Hudson River ( green) line from Grand Central Station, NYC. I mentioned this cute little town because it's just one of the little niches along the Hudson river that makes a perfect little day trip. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: really quaint storefront, and first impression.Enter through the cafe door which also functions as a retail shop for handmade objects like soaps, etc. The gifts have an upscale vibe-worth a trip back. We had about 15 minutes to kill before attending a Yelp event across The Street so we opted to take the chill off by purchasing a hot beverage at Norma's. The staff is pretty laid-back, friendly, but laid-back. If you're in a hurry, I'm not sure if this would work. The hot and cold beverages are very straightforward and you can get some vegan options here. There were two behind the counter, but I felt they were a little engaged in their personal banter and we're not that attentive. Not a real sense of urgency or purpose. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but once they did give us their full attention, we let them know that we were waiting for an event across the street and didn't have a lot of time. They asked us if we'd like to sit down with our beverage and we opted to do so since it was pretty cold outside. We ordered two hot chocolate And two homemade biscuits. They gave us a table number stanchion for the table and let us know they would be bringing it to us. We did not need to wait. We took the three steps down to the main dining area, where we were pleasantly surprised that they were having a live event - in this case it was a storytelling event. There was a table available for the two of us so we sat down and quickly realized that the table was so off-balance that it post a potential safety hazard. When I placed my hot chocolate down and rested my wrist, the entire table tilted forward toward me. This is an easy thing to fix, but my guess is that it's been this way for a really long time. That's unfortunate. All that aside, the room was really cozy and had a lot of character - lots of two top and four top tables to provide a very intimate setting with each one having a good view of the small stage Minutes went by and there was no biscuit delivered. More minutes went by and we began to wonder if they had forgotten. I guess is that they weren't making the biscuits from scratch so most likely they did forget. Since we had already paid for everything with a pretty generous tip, we waited a a few more minutes. Time ran out when we noticed that the event attendees were lining up across the street. That's something we could see from the really great big windows that faced Main Street. Reluctantly, my sister and I got up from the table and headed to the counter where we had made the order. We let them know that we needed to go and asked if the biscuits were ready. They seemed perplexed at first and then a lightbulb moment. Yes. I suspect they did forget the order. I wouldn't bother so much but two biscuits and two hot chocolates. It was about $20 plus tip so when they recognized that the biscuits were still missing, they asked if we would like to take them to go. The lack of awareness was disappointing because they were clearly not busy with anything else A minute or two later, they emerged from the kitchen with a small bag, presumably containing the two biscuits. Service was definitely lacking, particularly for what is a bit of a higher priced venue. Maybe we caught them on an off night but my sense is that laid back attitude is built in to the business model. Would I return to Norma's? I'm not sure. The hot chocolate was good, not from a mix, but would it bring me back? I'll let you know.

I had happened to be in the area and decided to give Francos a try…read more I was meeting family at the lake and wanted to bring a sandwich. I'm so glad I did! From the moment you walk in you smell the delicious cheeses. They make the sausage in house daily and have several varieties. I ordered a turkey wrap with Swiss cheese and roasted peppers. The wrap was delicious and packed with turkey. It was so fresh and the roasted peppers were homemade. I will be sure to go back. There are so many delicacys I would love to try. Don't sleep on Francos in Hopewell! They are delicious and the staff is so nice!

Quaint Italian deli, reminiscent of Little Italy in the Bronx…read more Noticed they had arancini in the display case. The woman behind the counter confirmed they were. That they had cheese and meat inside. We just had lunch, so I got one for takeout. She asked if I wanted it heated, I said no thank you. It's pretty large; almost enough for two people. When I did reheat it, at home, I was pleasantly surprised. There WAS some cheese and meat tucked into the Arborio rice. Technically, it made it a suppli. "Telephone wire" because the cheese stretches like the old-fashioned landline, telephone wires did. Best part - it was delicious!

Los Hornitos Bakery…read more Let me tell you ahead of time that this is a Sweet Treat Heaven! You will definitely want more than one dessert. Don't say I didn't warn you. Los Hornitos Bakery has plenty of parking right outside their door and it smells really nice as you walk in. Everything is perfectly displayed and I wanted to try one of everything! Their displays are filled with plenty of beautiful cakes, cheesecakes and cookies to choose from. You can get an entire cake or a slice or two.. or even three haha! They have a big refrigerator fully stocked with cold drinks as well. To start, I ordered the Churrasco sandwiches. Steak, cheese, avocado, tomato and mayo. It comes with a hot sauce and honestly, I don't like any kind of hot sauce. I was reluctant to try it at first and so glad I did because talk about a pleasant surprise! It has an amazing flavor that brings the sandwich to life and it's actually not hot & spicy! Food came out hot, tasted fresh and came out with perfect timing even though the bakery was quite busy. It's hard not to hear others conversations and it's obvious they have many happy customers. Ok, so now, let's get to the sweet treats. I got a meringue covered cookie with dulce de leche inside. I was excited for this as meringue is a favorite of mine but, unfortunately this treat was extremely dry & crumbly, difficult to eat and lacked in flavor. It's messy and would advise to steer completely clear of tasting it in your car. My second treat, a Bailey's Almond slice of cake. It was soft & creamy, light & fresh, excellent flavor and comes with a pipette of Bailey's Irish Crème. Almonds were crisp. It was so delicious I wish I had bought 2 slices! I recommend this as a Birthday Cake actually. It's impressive. Not overly sweet. You must try for yourself ! My third treat was a slice of Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Parcha is my #1 most favorite flavor and it did not disappoint. Classy. Flavorful. Balanced. Creamy. Decadent. Highly recommend. I'd even go as far as saying it's 'romantic'. It's a perfect dessert for the holidays and special celebrations. Excellent choice for dinner guests or date night. If you're looking to make a good impression, this is the dessert to have served! Last thing I ordered was a regular hot coffee with milk, to go, hot and flavorful just how I like it. It really hit the spot and made me smile! I truly appreciate a great cup of coffee. Looking forward to trying out their iced coffee and other flavor options on my next visits. Let's not forget another sandwich to try out !

Bert is the baker and chef and he knows his craft. I got a fruit cake ( very moist and rum filled ) and a gingerbread house and both were phenomenal. From what I saw spying at patrons plates the breakfast and lunch food look delicious and everyone seemed very satisfied with what they had. The menu is somewhat seasonal it seems. For example , I've heard Bert does a good chicken pot pie but not during the holidays bc he concentrates on foods for that time of year. Remember that this is a mom and pop kinda place. Only one person in front and Bert in the back so don't expect fast service. But that is why you should come here to rub elbows with the locals and just enjoy life and good food.

Can you get a more convenient one maybe. Pricewise is about on par with most fast food in the area. They do have a gluten-free option if you need it. Would I be a frequent customer?
