Place is small, no indoor seating that I saw but it's very convenient. I ordered and had my Americano within a minute. I like my coffee black and unsweetened and they delivered a tasty cup of coffee. If you're into the popular drinks, they're certainly delivering those as well. Staff were pleasant and professional. Location is convenient, on a major road. Would certainly return!

The coffees are the primary go-to, with many flavors; options include hot or iced frozen in various sizes. Not only that, but other alternatives offer milkshakes, smoothies, energy drinks, and tea. Honestly, you can't go wrong with that. The website provides a full menu. There is a drive-through; pull up to the window. The menu is posted on the wall. Another option you have is the walk-up window, which is on the opposite side of the drive-through. Service was great, as many workers were doing their part and preparing the orders.

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 let the staff know but she didn't seem eager to walk over to turn it on. My order; a dozen ( no blueberry, onion or garlic products), a 1/2 lb of Pastrami, Turkey, and Swiss. Seems like they are short-staffed. Or they n laid-back mode. There are now three additional patrons. TIP: kosher NO PORK PRODUCTS. Don't ASK.

The staff were very sweet, but service was overall pretty slow, so I would recommend ordering ahead. The menu was extensive and the photos seemed to be AI generated, not really giving a good idea of what the food or drinks actually look like. I ordered the breakfast plate and the eggs had no flavor or seasoning, not even salt or pepper. I paid an extra $3 for avocado spread and got about two tablespoons of cold avocado mash on the side. The food was overpriced and underwhelming. Also while ordering the breakfast plate, I was prompted to select "regular" or "gluten free " bread. I opted for regular. However, the bread was multigrain. The bread was fresh and tasted good, but this would be an issue for someone with diverticulitis. Overall, if I were to go back I would definitely order ahead and just opt for coffee.
