    LOCATION: on the tiniest Main Street I know Adorable "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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quaint, cozy spot with seating that brings together people from all walks of life -- from elderly regulars to college students studying, which gives the place such a warm, community feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, perfect for lingering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the tuna melt on sourdough and really wanted to love it. Despite asking for mayo, it felt a bit dry and was lighter on flavor than expected. That said, my sister ordered the New Yorker and absolutely loved it, so it may just be that their breakfast sandwiches are where they truly shine. Customer service was great, and there's a nice variety of breads and desserts, including vegan options (though I didn't get a chance to try them this time). Overall, I'd definitely come back for the aesthetics, the cozy vibes, and to try more of their breakfast offerings -- this feels like one of those neighborhood gems you want to support.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What an adorable place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great coffee and good food. Someone suggested I try something with a biscuit, and they were right. Homemade biscuits rock my world! The staff is lovely, service with a smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the place is cozy, especially on a snowy Sunday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So glad we came!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute cafe in wappingers![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love to come here for a coffee or a sandwich! I will say that they use a lot of butter!! A sandwich is usually shared amongst the table since it's a bit too heavy for me (someone who is not used to that amount of butter). But there are a lot of options for anyone! My matcha could have been mixed a little better, there were powder clumps at the bottom :/

    Bacon egg and cheese on sourdough with a matcha latte

    Went there for the first time and it was amazing! Breakfast sandwich was so fresh and hot. Sourdough bread was perfectly crispy and the overall just a great sandwich. Matcha latte was also good. You order at the counter and they make your drink right away. You are given a buzzer that lets you know when your food is done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The WiFi is a bit slow and patchy so be mindful if you plan on doing work here. There are outlets along the wall if you need to charge any electronics. Street parking can be a bit cumbersome during peak hours, but there is a public lot in the back by the village creamery.

    Vegan sausage and mushroom on brioche
    Linda G.

    Great place for delicious pastries, unique sandwiches with fresh ingredients and many options of bread or biscuits. All sorts of warm beverage options and definitely more than a coffee house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the outside option for dining - perfect to enjoy the outdoors which we did.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone behind the counter was friendly and helpful in placing our order - you receive a small beeper that alerts you when your food is ready which was rather quick. Wished we lived closer so we could frequent Norma's regularly.

    A kid's corner with toys and books- perfect for families!

    Norma's is a gem of a coffee/breakfast/lunch spot on Wappinger's Fall's Main Street. Pros: - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super charming interior with a beautiful white countertop to order food and a large back room with plenty of eating tables, a stage, and a kid's corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - Huge menu of beverages, and breakfast and lunch options. Recommend the biscuits: I loved the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit and the plain butter biscuit (although it would have been stellar if it came with a side of berry compote or jam), cheesy hash, ham egg, and cheese sandwich, and the goat grilled cheese. My friends loved the iced macha and my hubby loved his lemonade. - [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was elated to see the kid's corner with a toddler table & chairs, children's books, and many toys. My daughter and friends played there the entire time, letting the adults enjoy their food without major distractions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Looking forward to coming back.

    I'm surprised how often independent coffee shops aren't open early when I travel. Ideally, I want a 6:30 am option, but I'll take 7, and frequently settle for 8 or later. On my recent trip to Wappingers Falls, Norma's had me covered for 7. And that made me happy. I visited early two days in a row. The space is very impressive. One of a kind impressive. Norma's is split into parts. The portion where you order your coffee and food and pick out cool snacks. That part is nice. And the huge room with immaculate brick walls, lots of gorgeous wood, plenty of seating, open space, paintings of sunflowers and a stage. I can only imagine what happens in this room beyond everyday socializing. Maybe open mic nights. Acoustic bands. Parties. Meetings. Showers. Game nights. This room is an asset and I'm sure it gets put to good use. I hope it does! It's too beautiful to waste. The Norma's black iced coffee was above average. Good. Reliable. The three cookies I tried were about average if I compare Norma's to a bakery, and a bit above average if I compare them to other coffee shops that serve cookies. Perhaps a little more done than the soft cookies I prefer. That was pretty much the family consensus since we split them. Service was good. I'm thankful for independent coffee shops like Norma's when I travel. The steady flow of business both days lead me to believe the permanent folks like Norma's too. If Norma's had an average space, this would be about a 4 Star review. But the large room is such a unique asset, I'm going to upgrade my review to 4.5 Stars.

    Loaded hash and the southerner
    Mary E.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all; I wanna say I love the ambiance of this place. They have a piano, they do events and live music, they have a little gift shop, couches, BOOZE, good place to do some work or just eat and hangout with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their pastries are so good. Their drinks so good. Their food was good BUT....my sandwich had a long hair in it which I didn't discover until I ate it half way through. That itself just ruined my meal. I would come back though and just look out for anything that should not be in my food or drink......

    Southerner sandwich with potatoes side of aioli so good
    Coral P.

    This place is a hidden gem so good breakfast is always a hit! Ice coffee so good always packed but worth the wait.

    Quick and friendly staff, delicious sandwiches, comfy, cozy dining room, and an interesting selection of baked goods made for an impressive first visit. The shop is inviting both on the outside and inside, and walking in, we realised there was a whole other separate room for eating in, and the overall warmth of that room was refreshing. Although it took us a few minutes to browse the menu but the staff were patient with us, and they were perfectly friendly and helpful. Someone brought out our food and the sandwiches looked just as impressive as yso the pics on Yelp. The chicken salad had a surprisingly mild dressing and overall flavour, and the ciabatta was hearty without chewiness. The Californian, the vegan version without added protein, was even more delicious than the chicken salad, and the chilled onions and tomatoes, zest from either parsley spread or hummus, and the tender and flavourful wholegrain roll = a fiesta in my mouth. There are several things on the menu we'd love to try, so they can count on us to return.

    a store with a variety of items
    Pratiksha R.

    I loved this place and can easily become my favorite breakfast spot. Great service, beautiful ambiance, and a great selection of sandwiches. The menu is limited but you can mix and match. The breads are freshly made and so delicious. Their baked sweet treats looked delicious but could not try them since we were so full of sandwiches.

    Rijoa and California sandwich (I may have both names wrong )

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a great, comfortable place with good local products.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoyed the lox and I have tried other sandwiches too, and they are great. We had a mixup on our order, and the manager took care of it even though we were the ones who made the error! And they made the accomodation on 7/4 after closing early. Rare. i wish Inhad an extra star.

Since they put up their 'coming soon' sign, all my friends and coworkers have been anxiously waiting for them to open. Coming from NYC, Kung Fu Tea is like, comfort tea. It was one of the first chains to settle and really help bubble tea expand in the states. As a chain, they are reliable because they maintain a certain quality/line of drinks. This Kung Fu Tea is spotless - part combination of them being brand new, part kudos to their team for keeping it clean. The seating is spaced out so you won't feel crowded. I can see meeting a couple of friends here and hanging out over some bubble tea. The drinks are as expected from KFT - I don't know if they share recipes across chains, but their drinks are consistent and delicious. I always go for half sugar, less ice when the option is available. I will say, my favorite item here is anything matcha foam - which is crazy because I hated foam drinks before. They have an app, it's not a great app, but it's an app lol. If you join the rewards program, they sometimes have really great promotions. I like to order ahead so I can pick up my drink and go. They're still new, and don't seem like they have a huge staff yet, or they are still training. I think the service speed will improve over time. But since I mostly order ahead in app, this doesn't usually affect me, and it's definitely not worth docking any stars for.
