My friend that lives in the area brews Bank Square in her French press every morning and it was so incredibly delicious that later while walking around town, I knew I needed to get another cup for myself. The baristas were quick and friendly and dressed up as superheroes (it was Halloween). I got a couple of oat milk lattes to bring back to the group as well as a pound of their "No Sleep till Beacon" grounds and it was a hit all around. I was grabbing and going, but lots of folks had grabbed a seat and kicked back with laptops, books, friends, whatever. Great spot with very good coffee.

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.

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.

This is the best cafe I've had the pleasure of being introduced to in a while…read more My goodness, where to begin. Heavenly Garden Cafe is a small cafe in a nondescript aging strip mall. They've done a good job at sprucing up the exterior of their shop so you do have a bit of a hint of the goodness that lies within. Once you enter, the shop itself is pure cuteness. They have electronic ordering near the door, QR codes on each table so you can easily order from there, or you can order directly at the counter. On my first visit, I got one of their smoothie bowls. I got it with a coconut base (instead of acai) and ordered the crispy berry smoothie bowl. It came with tons of beautifully fresh berries, pecans, and almond butter. It was divine. For my beverage, I got their coconut latte made with almond milk. It came beautifully presented with coconut shavings on top and a small cookie for dipping (are you serious?!? So lovely). I think I literally exclaimed, 'So lovely!' when they brought it to my table. Everything also tasted amazing. The coconut latte was made with beautifully rich and smooth espresso. It was completely dreamy. So much so, that I ordered the same coffee on two additional visits while I was in the area. On my second visit, I got their turkey panini which was one of the best turkey sandwiches I've had in a while. Perfectly toasted and filled with spinach, cheese, and grape tomatoes--I loved every bite. One my third visit, I got their breakfast toast made with veggie spread. It came with an ample pile of veggies and herbs and a scrambled egg on top--amazing! Both the turkey panini and the breakfast toast also came with a side salad. Additionally, one morning I ordered a fruit bowl, which was filled with fresh berries, banana, and kiwi. The service is kind and the prices are reasonable. Seriously, what a gem! Get to it!

I also tried the Coco Cream Smoothie with pineapple, mango, and coconut. It was creamy, refreshing, and the perfect tropical treat. The only reason I'm giving three stars is because the table next to us sat uncleared the entire time we were there after the previous guests had left. As someone who worked in restaurants for years, I know things get busy, but a clean dining area makes a big difference. The food was good, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

From street corn toast to liege waffles, yes, they have nutella too :') - this place has all the basic things you need for an amazing coffee break. While covering your vegan and gluten free needs with plenty of options. I will say, the gf waffles are the frozen toaster ones (which is totally fine because no kitchen so there's options for everyone!). Can't wait to try the liege waffles next! I have my eye on the mushroom and onion avocado toast but I can assure you the street corn chickpea stands pretty great on it's own. Expect tea and coffee bags and lots of goodies available for purchase with an awesome seating area just perfect for hanging out or doing some work while you sip and snack. OK. I never get lattes and the lavender latte possessed me and made me order it. On a hot day I never even said how I wanted it. Somehow someway, the awesome barista and owner KNEW to make it cold, and I'm SO glad I had this lavender iced latte EXPLODING with lavender. Not overly sweet, just right and fully natural. Basically it didn't taste like a fake lavender simple syrup combo. Oh, best part, milk options are endless. Oat and COCONUT are in the house. Of course, I got the coconut! You can order other great beverages like the pea lemonade (the pretty purple one!!) and other plant derived natural elixirs. Can't wait to try!

My experience at Starbucks from July 20-23 was disappointing. Monday was just okay, but Tuesday and…read moreWednesday were particularly uncomfortable. At first, I wondered whether my expectations were simply influenced by Southern hospitality, but I also expect a certain level of warmth, courtesy, and consistency from Starbucks, especially given how central hospitality is to the brand. I noticed employees greeting and thanking other customers, yet I did not receive the same basic courtesy. On Tuesday, when I asked for whipped cream at the end of my order, the barista responded, "Give me a minute," without any acknowledgment or pleasantry. I understand that employees can become overwhelmed--I've worked in hospitality, restaurants, and hotels myself; but being busy should never make a customer feel dismissed or unwelcome. Wednesday was different. The young woman who assisted me was genuinely sweet, and we had a pleasant conversation. That interaction reminded me of the level of customer service I expect from Starbucks. Unfortunately, Thursday was disappointing as well. At the drive-thru, I picked up my mobile order, and after asking my name, the employee said, "Next time, give us more time," again without any greeting or courtesy. Overall, the inconsistency in these interactions left me disappointed and uncomfortable.
