Went to Norma’s on the way to Rockaway Beach. Fourth of July. Two nyc transplants chasing something classic, something warm and soft and dripping in honey. We both ordered biscuits. Split them open like a wishbone. Jam, butter, sticky fingers. Nothing more American than eating something that tender and calling it breakfast. We carried the crumbs to the edge of the Atlantic, where the heat was relentless and they wouldn’t let us in the water. Danger beneath the surface, the undertow There’s something sticky about that moment too. The taste of salt and sweetness still on our tongues, the ocean just out of reach. Like the country itself. Gorgeous. Brutal. Half-closed. But we laughed and laid in the sun and let the day soak through. Norma’s tastes like a memory of the good times that were actually good

This place has long been on my list! Finally getting out on a nice day to give it a try and it did not disappoint. Great breakfast sandwich options and morning drinks. Had the ranchero sandwich with spicy bacon and it was very good, although a little messy. Also had a pesto mushroom sandwich which was much lighter but very fresh. Coffee and matcha were great too. The only issue is you will wait to get your food if they are busy upwards 30 or so minutes and they have very limited seating options.

How adorable and cozy Norma's Corner Shoppe is. We were there randomly for a quick breakfast fix and we had Chocolate Mocha Bundt, Raspberry Loaf and 2 cups of latte. Both cakes were amazingly delicious and satisfying. The texture was soft & puffy and the frosting was rich & creamy. The latte was not a surprise but it's decent and refreshing. My friends told us their Biscuit Sandwich is really good and we will definitely visit again to try it.

Really great local coffee and sandwiches spot. Delicious baked goods. I love their ranchero breakfast sandwich but all other ones are amazing as well. There is usually few min wait on the weekends so be patient. All is made to order.

The banana muffins were really flavorful. Next time I go I would probably stick to the pastries. The breakfast sandwiches were pretty good too but the muffins were better

Quality has been going down for a minute here. Food is often rubbery, bagels not toasted, service usually mid. Today I got a large latte that barely had any milk in it. It was mostly froth and espresso.

I used to get wonderful sandwiches here, but this time was a miss. I chose the buttermilk biscuit, but it was very small and far too hard. Really disappointing. The staff was nice, though.

The service is nasty every time I go here, tried to write it off as a bad day a few times but it’s just not pleasant, everyone working here always seems to be in a bad mood and the food always takes so long to come out. Defeats the purpose of a takeout cafe if the sandwiches take 30 min to come out. Really wanted to like this place

I’m honestly done with this place. I’ve given them so many chances, but it just keeps getting worse. They’ve messed up my order multiple times before, and I let it slide, hoping things would improve — but they haven’t. Now the matcha tastes like raspberry candy, the sandwiches are never wrapped (impossible to eat on the go), and today I got a $12 sandwich that was tiny and barely had any avocado. It’s ridiculous. This has been happening too often not to speak up. Not worth the money anymore.
