    AWESOME AMBIANCE!! Very tasty coffee! I really enjoyed the simple drip, which had an almost caramel-like flavor. However their pastries were very very dry and had the texture of being left out for quite a bit. The brownie had very little chocolate flavor and super sugary. However I would really recommend trying out the coffee and enjoying the ambiance. Very cool!

    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 :/

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Southerner sandwich with potatoes side of aioli so good

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

    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......

    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.

    The southerner
    Kahlia M.

    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.

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

    Just a great, comfortable place with good local products. 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.

    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.

    There is always a problem with my phone orders. Management is a bit hostile. I have to admit the food was good.

    Delicious coffee, pastries, sandwiches and food to go. Plenty of space to work for a few hours and grab a bite.

    Off the beaten path in Wappingers falls Cafe Con Leche was perfect for our Sunday brunch. Outside…read moreseating available under a deck. Inside was nice with plenty of seating for groups and AC to keep you cool on hot summer days. Acoustics were great we were able to enjoy our conversation without having to yell over loud music. Bathrooms were clean with a touch of Puerto Rico as ambient coquí frogs sing in the background. The staff were amazing, friendly attentive and helpful. Our waitress was top notch took care of our coffee and food orders with a smile on a rainy cloudy day. Ordered the Coquito latte, delicious- paired with the sweet and spicy chicken and Coquito batter waffle!! Wow the flavor was great didn't even need syrup. Loved the contrast of sweet and salty. Great portion sizes for the price. My wife got the Coquito French toast with scrambled eggs hash brown potatoes and bacon served on a charcuterie board. Eggs were fluffy and delicious the French toast was soft and buttery.
