I am NOT vegan, and don't eat anything healthy, but I love everything about Norma's! I wandered into the Adventist Book Store for some specific food items and found Norma's tucked away inside. My friend was with me and asked if I had ever eaten there. I rolled my eyes and said "no thanks," then I watched her order an arepa with veggie vegan beef and cheese and imagined how terrible that must taste...then I saw it...it looked like the best arepa I've ever seen. I didn't want to ask for a bite after I shamed it, but I snuck one and OMG, I ate my words, literally! I immediately ordered not one but TWO veggie beef arepas with cheese and beans! Listen, you have no idea what goodness is awaiting you. I freaking love cheese! I never imagined fake cheese would ever appeal to me, but whatever cheese manna from heaven this is, it melts in your mouth like butter! Norma's is family owned and her husband will carefully help you make the best selections, ensuring you get the right sauces and order the best items for your taste buds while Norma whips up something homemade for you. They are literally the nicest people! RUN to Norma's and get two arepas...make it three, and eat one for me! read more

The cheese is terrible. I've tried them twice now. The burger was okay, with out the cheese. I mentioned this to them and the manager was pleasant about it, I assumed he was gonna make a change, but they did not. I then tried the pizza it was terrible. I should've checked it before i paid because it looked gross when I opened the box. I still decided to take a bite since I didn't have much time to do anything else on my break. I was dissatisfied. I called the restaurant to see if we could rectify the situation, but the younger woman at the front answered and I guess she barely understood me and didn't really offer any solutions or reconciliation. All she said was that it's vegan cheese and that's why it tastes different. I explained to her I AM vegan and that is the reason I sought out the restaurant. I've had really delicious vegan pizza. I feel they are using the cheapest of ingredients and charging a lot for vegan garbage. It was like Daiya cheese that they used in the burger and pizza. If they took the time to find better ingredients, they'd have more traffic. read more

This restaurant is in a Seventh Day Adventist building. To get there, you enter through the bookstore. The tacos are amazing. The taquitos are a little bland. I have also had the Asian wrap and the chicken Alfredo pizza. Both are excellent. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

We were very happy to be able to get a vegan and nearly plastic free meal while visiting Florida. My sandwich and the platter were both delicious. The service was quick & friendly with reasonable prices. I appreciate the attempt at reducing plastic use and I hope it continues. I look forward to trying more of their food! This is the way. read more

I geared myself up to try this local vegan plant based spot, I see others are yelping about too - as said it's basically a small cafe inside a book store. To drink, my eyes were on the green machine smoothie - needed to get my greens in, it included spinach, kale, pineapple, and mango (don't kill me if that's not exactly it to the Tee but went something like that) I was all for it too. Drank that thing right up and Im craving it as we speak. It's not overwhelming sweet just the right touch from the pineapple. They had some other good ones that look worth trying. For my lunch meal I got the lomo arepa. Vegan meat with peppers and onions in a tomato based sauce. I asked the lady working there what the vegan meat is made from - basically soy and wheat. The food came out super fresh, hot, and presentable. I will say it's not something I would re-order but I can see why plant based lovers are into it. I would come back if in the area to try another smoothie or lunch dish - we'll see what holds next. read more

Oh man, the customer service here is just above and beyond. I was greeted immediately and my order was taken. I explored the book store and groceries they had inside of the store. It was spacious and all types of cool decor signage. I ordered the chicken alfredo pizza and cocada /mango smoothies. I really enjoyed my cocada smoothie. It reminded me a nice cool porridge with cinnamon. I will definitely be coming back to get one. The mango smoothie was fresh and who would have thought that lime and mango works. First time trying lime and mango and it had my taste buds dancing. read more

Can I swear? Cuz I feel bad swearing about a place in a church book store... But HOLY F#*K!!!! I can't say enough about this place. Greeted immediately by the owners who gave us recommendations and really made us feel so welcomed and appreciated for being there. Norma's husband explained to us how the restaurant came to be. Normas passion for her food shines through not only on the food you're served but her personal interaction as we were at the counter deciding what to order. As she was preparing another order she made sure to comment on her husband recommendations and add hers too. I had originally planned on getting a bowl with plantains in it but after watching Norma dish up some of her arepas I was sold. Best for me was the arepa stuffed with beef, cheese and sweet plantains. (ALL VEGAN OF COURSE) The arepas were the best I'd ever had. Warm and crisp on the outside and soft and buttery in the inside. I can't put into words how good it was beyond that. Just amazing. I also had an arepa stuffed with their chicken salad which Joe finished for me and he preferred because it was so darned flavorful. It didn't come close to the beef for me though. I can't wait to come back for more. The hours make it a little tricky for folks working full time on the other side of town. We only made it over because we'd taken the week off for vacation and made it during a week day. But now that I know how good it is, I will happily take another PTO day to visit for lunch during the week. If you're on the fence or haven't been because of the hours, it is totally worth going out of your way or taking an extra long lunch to make it. IT IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!! read more

We love coming here. I had trouble finding it the first time because it's located inside the Adventist bookstore. It's a nice space and it has a nice energy. We have been a few times and it's always good. The fries are nice and crispy, the signature Norma burger is lovely, and we have liked everything else we have tried. Everything is Vegan. The owner is a kind woman that wants to offer good food for everyone so we are happy to come here and support their business. It's not a fast food place where everything g is pre-made so you might have to eat a bit to get your food but the good thing is that you know is fresh and made right on the spot. read more

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn, Norma has done it AGAIN!!!! This place is rockstar! Forget all the fancy chain restaurants or other places that have "vegan" foods, go to Norma's!!! Do not let the location steer you away. It's not the easiest to find and its inside of a christian bookstore but everyone is so friendly and its super clean. There is also a mini vegan store in the back of the business. When we arrived in the parking lot we couldn't find Normas plant based cuisine but after a quick phone call to the business we were given easy directions and saw we had passed it about 3 times already. Upon entering we were greeted and given the most friendliest welcoming and run down of the menu. There's several table and chairs for indoor seating which was very nice as well. There are options for days and I wanted one of everything because everything sounded delicious , but i composed myself and went for the impossible tacos with fries lol Each bite was packed with flavor and better than the last. These were not those baby street tacos, these were your grandmas loaded tacos!! Toppings + a Chipotle sauce! The fries were fresh and cooked to perfection. We also had a mango slushie that was fresh and sweet. I will be driving from Tampa to come back here and eat....IT WAS THAT GOOD!! Make sure you come here hungry and ready to eat the best thing you've had a in a long while :) read more

This place is located in a cool book store/ vegan grocery store. It's a nice place to grab a bite to eat. They have great vegan options! The service is wonderful and everyone is very nice. It's a small spot with a few tables which makes it a great place to get some work done while grabbing a bite to eat or sitting and chatting over a nice meal. The arepas are delicious and I seriously order them every time. My fave is the "chicken" salad arepa with avocado! The sauces are very good and everything is made fresh. Highly recommend! read more

This is a gem. When you walk into this bookstore it's beautiful and quiet. Once you pass the lobby immediately to the right is Norma's deli. It has a cute little sitting area with an adequate amount of tables and chairs to enjoy your breakfast, lunch or anytime meal. The staff are very friendly and kind. When I arrived I ordered a green machine smoothie which had the right amount of sweetness and there were options for add ins as well like chia seeds, or milk. I ordered the smoothie as is and it was delicious and refreshing. The menu offers quite an array of options. At the register they have a hot plate of fresh empanadas you can buy for $3.99 if you just want a quick hot snack. I was tempted but instead I ordered the meat and cheese arepa with avocado and cilantro cream. They did not disappoint. The arepa had a crisp on the outside to the last bite. It was fluffy and moist in the inside and the cilantro cream was to die for. It was creamy and light with a touch of lime flavor. I loved it! I can't wait to return and try more of their menu items. While I waited for my food I walked around and explored all of the treasures the natural food store had to offer. As a vegan there are so many things hard to find and guaranteed this store probably has what you need. I ended up grabbing a jerky stick to try and a lb of hemp seed granola which was very nicely priced. If you're in the area or need to get away take a step into this awesome bookstore where you will definitely find things to purchase, explore and enjoy while you devour the delicious food Norma's has to offer. read more

This was my first time trying Norma's. I ordered Norma's house burger and an arepa rellena con queso. I browsed their book selection while I waited for my order, which took about 10 min. Their vegan grocery section is in the back. Burger was really good! The combo of quinoa, avocado, red onion, lettuce, cheese, pickles and tomato worked well, and it comes with a tartar aioli. Bun was nicely toasted and all the ingredients tasted fresh. The arepa was also very good, not dry or overly greasy. Prices were average. Cashiers were very friendly, and the dining area was very clean. Overall, I would definitely come back and would recommend to others. read more

Such an interesting concept I wish I saw more of. A bookstore, eatery & mini mart all in one. Normas plant based cuisine had so many great vegan options. The salad and green smoothie were delicious. Took 2 mins to get greeted but once we were helped the young gentleman was great. The the bookstore had such a cute kid section setup & the mini mart had mainly plant based options (which was a bonus). 10/10 recommend for a little bookstore with a twist concept or some lunch ! read more

I love trying out new vegan spots, so I had been eyeing this place for a while and finally decided to stop in! I was a little confused upon arrival, as it is located inside a bookstore! The bookstore was small, quiet and packed with religious books. (Definitely a Christian library). There is plenty of seating room in front of Norma's to eat inside if you choose. Everything on their menu is vegan! They have a lot of menu items, with different plant based meat(less) options. I appreciated the variety of foods, like rice bowls, tacos, arepas, smoothies, salads and even breakfast food. The customer service was great, I ordered the impossible 3 tacos. It was pretty empty when I arrived (one hour before they closed) and it took about 18-20 minutes for me to receive my food after ordering with no guests in front of me, and one after me. I don't know if they usually take long or maybe because they closed in an hour? The tacos themselves were good, the best part for me was the sauce. I really enjoyed it, and knowing that it was vegan was an extra plus! They packed the tacos with A LOT of vegan cheese, and that was my only downside as im not a big fan of vegan cheese. I would not be opposed to ordering the tacos again, but this time without the cheese. Their menu items did peak my interest, and I see myself giving this place another chance in the future. read more

5 stars for food and service. Everything was hot, fresh, and made to order. You walk in, order at the counter, and they bring the food out to your table. There is a Christian bookstore for your shopping pleasure before or after you dine. There is also a small grocery store with everything from greeting cards to frozen, reasonably priced healthy foods and nuts... Unfortunately, they're only open Monday through Friday or we'd go on weekends. But, it was so good yesterday that we're going back for lunch again today!

Are you trying to be more plant-based for the New Year? It would only be fitting that my first review of 2020 would be this delicious vegan spot while I try and complete my #veganuary2020 challenge. Norma and Henry serve delicious, vegan/plant-based Spanish and American inspired dishes. They use many products that are available inside the bookstore like vegan mayo, cheeses, and substitute meats. But it's their use of Impossible burger that makes this place stand out for me. Their impossible burger is delicious with a cilantro mayo and definitely try the Picadillo. If you've never had picadillo, It's like a high end deconstructed chili fries supreme. My wife absolutely loves the Mexican salad with the chik'n, corn, corn chips and yummy dressing. There's also arepas and corndogs and breakfast items! If you can't decide from the menu, or have certain diet restrictions, ask Henry or Norma and they'll be happy to help you make a decision! This hidden gem is located inside, right in the center of the healthfood and bookstore "A Better Choice" There's not a lot of signage from the outside building, but follow your nose to the delicious smells. While you wait for your food, you can peruse the Christian book store or shop for plant-based friendly grocery items. Eating more plant-based is super easy when you can enjoy great selection of delicious foods at Normas! read more

Norma's was even better than what I thought it would be. I knew it would be incredible but they exceeded my expectations. Customer service is above and beyond, they took care of me every step of the way and gave me their recommendations, they were all on absolute point. The owners are the sweetest people in the world and they kept checking in on us to make sure everything was up to our expectations! The food was as good as it can get in this world. I'm venezuelan and it has been a struggle to eat/drink venezuelan things without them having a vegan alternative. Coming here and eating this amazing food made me feel at home again! I tried their cocada which was one of the hardest things to find fully vegan. The cocada is a MUST try. The lemonade is so unique and probably the best lemonade you'll have. The arepas are also above and beyond. It is the perfect arepa and you can absolutely feel the love in their food. You'll come out of here in full on BLISS. Try their pabellón as well, you can't go wrong! read more

I want to give this place 5 stars SO BAD but it's one of the worst places I've ever eaten and I honestly don't want people to think that this is what vegan food is supposed to taste like. I ordered 4 menu items, and they were all either flavorless, dry, texturally awkward or completely drenched in mayonnaise. I had a LOT of trouble finding this place, google maps took us to the wrong place twice (finally I had to call to get there) It's hidden inside of a bookstore that's hidden inside of a church. The bookstore is all religious, so it's insanely quiet and as far as ambiance is concerned, you feel like you have to be silent like you're at a library with your grandmother... the fun factor is slightly less than zero here. That being said, on the positive, it is cleaner than some hospitals I've been in. Everything was new, well organized, wiped down, freshly stocked and in perfect condition- down to the tables, chairs and cute little plants on the tables. The staff was beyond polite, absolutely caring and -you can tell - genuinely good human beings. We had some questions about some of the menu items that were all answered thoroughly and kindly by more than one staff member... . HOWEVER, I've never in my life seen people in foodservice move at such a slow pace, It took almost 35 minutes to get our food once we had ordered. We were the only patrons there that were waiting for food and we could see 4 staff members present. I would never bash a place for taking a long time during a rush- trust me this wasn't that- they really are just insanely slow. We decided to order the Lomo saltado, a hot dog topped with some kind of slaw and mayo, yucca fries, & a breakfast burrito with potato egg & impossible. The hot dog- wow, ok... I've had almost every vegan dog on the market, some are great, some are okay, and some are downright horrible. Unfortunately this was the horrible variety. I believe they're using a loma linda canned hot dog, they're preserved in water which renders them completely mushy and flavorless. This dog did come on a really nice bun so I had hopes that could save the dog, it had a soft chew and was substantial in size but to no avail, the mushy dog was covered in canned chili and shredded cabbage that had been absolutely drenched in a mayo based sauce which looked appealing but was oddly bland and disgusting. I took one bite and we had to throw the rest away. The yucca fries- kinda pricey for four little fries but I'm absolutely ok with paying whatever someone wants to charge for the service they provide if they do it well. To my disappointment they were dry and flavorless, and again, served with a mayo sauce that had no personality whatsoever. These weren't horrible, but they tasted like nothing so they weren't in any way satisfying. I will say this was the one thing we did eat entirely (not the sauce) although, I was just eating them to eat something. The breakfast burrito- it came wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla that was what I'd classify as quite possibly the closest thing to slightly flexible stale cardboard I've ever attempted to eat. The burrito was pretty big, so portion wise it was a substantial meal. JUSTegg is probably one of the best vegan items on earth and under most circumstances I'd eat it off the floor so needless to say I did take the burrito apart and ate all of the JUSTegg. The potatoes were what I'd imagine to be a frozen product that has been par cooked, they seemed to be heated up in either an oven or air fryer with absolutely zero seasoning, onions or oil, which is great if you're making health conscious choices but horrible if you want to enjoy what you're eating. They forgot to include the impossible sausage in this burrito, sadly most of it went in to the trashcan. The lomo saltada- one of the weirdest grossest flavors I've ever had in my mouth. It tasted like someone tried to fix a bad home made stir fry with a cheap jar of off brand spaghetti sauce yet somehow through all of the combinations of ingredients they managed to serve something with no seasoning or spice. This was by far the worst of the worst but this dish was so bad I had to discreetly spit it in to my napkin before throwing the entire dish away. We hate wasting food but sadly ended up throwing away most of what we ordered. Very long review, I know- I hate to leave anything other than 5 stars for an all vegan place because it's so important to have them around but my god I hope no one who is considering going vegan ever eats here. If you're already vegan, go for it, you already know the deal. If you're considering it, just don't. To the owners, I'm sorry. I'm truly very sorry but please, get help, hire a chef or someone with a culinary background to help elevate your food. You obviously have a great support system with the church and your mission is awesome. I'm just scared you're going to give someone an inaccurate first impression of what vegan food can be. read more

First thing I should have known, my partner and I didn't know that this place was a Christian bookstore. The bookstore cafe idea isn't what made me almost leave, it was the overwhelming towering displays of bible stories and Jesus inspirational quotes, no matter where you look.

Norma's Plant Based Cuisine - Vegan Lomo Saltado (but I substituted red beans for the fries) - Vegan Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I came to eat at Norma's because they had a 5 Star rating on Yelp. I'm also giving them 5 Stars. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I am trying to cut back on eating meat for diet and health reasons. When Norma's came up as "plant based" food with such a high rating I had to give them a try. I was not disappointed!! I was greeted by the owner who explained to me that they use Impossible Meats which is a well known plant based meat substitute that looks and tastes like meat. I've heard of it but was a little skeptical. I'm no longer skeptical. It was delicious...that is why there's a picture of my empty plate. I started eating and couldn't stop to take a picture until I was done. The carrot cake was also very good. It was excellent if you factor in that it is vegan. I prefer my carrot cake with lots of frosting Norma's is located inside a book store in the Seventh Day Adventist building, making it a little hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. GPS took me right here but the outside signage isn't good. It is labeled as a deli but it felt more like a casual gourmet restauant. Vegetarian or not, Norma's is worth the trip...and it's reasonable priced too. I can't wait to come back. There are a couple of other items on the menu I want to try. read more
