What an adorable place! 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. And the place is cozy, especially on a snowy Sunday morning. So glad we came! read more

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. 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. read more

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. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, perfect for lingering. 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. read more

Super cute cafe in wappingers! 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 :/ read more

I went here for 2 reasons. 1. To visit my friend (she wasn't working). 2. To drink some kind of iced pumpkin deliciousness. Sweet Pumpkin Jebus it was oh so scrumptious. I want to drink another one now but they're closed. And I'm in bed. And I live in Kingston. I'll be back. read more

Such a dream! Incredible food and coffee, sweet staff, great space and vibe. Highly recommend

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. Loved the outside option for dining - perfect to enjoy the outdoors which we did. 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. read more

Norma's is a gem of a coffee/breakfast/lunch spot on Wappinger's Fall's Main Street. Pros: - 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. - 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. - 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. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Norma’s - Southerner sandwich with potatoes side of aioli so good - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

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. read more

Great space right in the heart of Wappingers. Lots of seating, delicious and creative sandwiches, friendly service and nice hot lattes.

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. 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...... read more

Norma’s - Loaded hash and the southerner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

This review pertains specifically to just THIS sandwich. Their homemade biscuit from scratch take you right down to the south. That being said, I decided to take a southern route and order "The Southerner". It had all the components of sausage biscuits and gravy except for seasoning and the gravy. That was the only disappointment that I had had. I had in mind and palate this southern classic so there was some letdown to see the gravy as a background character. But the place in itself, the ambiance takes you down to nyc. And the plants are perfect touch. read more

Norma’s - Rijoa and California sandwich (I may have both names wrong ) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

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. read more

This was my first time stopping at this coffee shop. I think it's somewhat new. I was running errands while in the area and wanted to stop somewhere for coffee, this was conveniently located in Wappingers. They had some nice coffee options and some bites as well. I liked the iced latte and the bagel with cream cheese was as expected. The interior has cute furniture and is a nice place to stop in for a coffee break. read more

I truly cannot recommend Norma's enough. Every time we go we try out something new and have not been disappointed yet! We went yesterday and shared a southerner breakfast sandwich because the portions are large enough to share. Their dessert cabinet has so many amazing options, it's so hard to choose sometimes. The hummingbird cake is my all time favorite but the cherry lemon loaf was also impressive. This town is so lucky to have you guys!! read more

Norma's is an amazing little gem in the heart of the village. There is ample street parking, and the surrounding area is great for walking. You have Mesier park in one direction and the bridge overlooking Wappingers Falls in the other. The space is both cozy and spacious at the same time. The decor is very charming and inviting, but they spaced out the seating enough so that I have never felt crowded by neighboring tables. This is a huge thing for me now, after having the luxury of social distancing over the pandemic. I really enjoy not feeling like someone else is breathing on my food and drinks. The staff is always friendly and greet me when I walk in. I love that this is a women-owned business and their other location is in my hometown of Queens. I already try my best to support local businesses, but they make it real easy with their awesome staff and amazing food and drinks. I've tried many items off their menu, and I have to say that I've never been disappointed. I think my favorite right now is the Toasted Goat grilled sandwich - fig jam, creamy goat cheese, diced bacon, and honey. Just writing about it now is making me drool! The space has plenty of seating, and they even offer wifi. On top of everything, their prices are very reasonable. 5/5 all around, they are on my regular rotation of local coffee shop/bakeries...especially on days where I'm playing Pokemon Go close by lol read more

Lovely hidden gem in downtown Wappingers Falls. I've been meaning to try Norma's for years and it did not disappoint! I'd visited when this used to be Graceland Tattoo and I love what they did with the interior, when you first walk in you order at the counter and their menu is displayed on the wall. Once you get your table # you can settle in to the lower level with all the dining tables, there's plenty of seating and they also have a stage for events as well as a small kids corner for those with little ones. The food itself was delicious, the ingredients are top notch and they bake all of their breads and pastries on site daily. You self serve your waters and napkins and they bring you your order. The food came out fast and the woman working the front was very welcoming especially with it being our first visit. Can't wait to come back to try more of the menu! read more

This place was great. The cafe was very cozy, the staff and service were fantastic, and the general energy of this spot was very pleasant. I ordered the B.E.S.T. Sandwich on a buttermilk biscuit and the presentation of the food was immaculate. The biscuit was toasted to perfection however I felt it lacked butter. Overall I felt the sandwich lacked seasoning as I couldn't taste much of anything in it. I also tried my girlfriend's cappuccino and found it to be perfect with the correct amount of foam and milk. The sandwich itself gets a 2/5 from me. The place itself gets 5/5. I loved it! The service was also 5/5. The woman who brought our food over was very kind to everyone. Side note: the mugs they sell are very cute. read more

Nice breakfast or lunch spot in the Village. Usually swing though for breakfast, The sausage and gravy on a biscuit is my go to but I've tried almost every combo and haven't had a bad one yet. Had the Senòr for lunch today and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. The Tomato/ basil soup was a little thicker than I would have expected and had a bit more spicy heat than I was expecting for a tomato soup. As always we'll be back! Ohhhh and the chocolate Chip cookies are wonderful as well. read more
