Norma's Corner Shoppe
If you're wandering through the charming streets of Ridgewood, New York, a visit to Norma's Corner Shoppe is an absolute must. This delightful coffee shop isn’t just a haven for caffeine lovers; it’s a cozy corner that serves a range of delicious, freshly-made sandwiches and baked goods, fostering a community spirit among locals and travelers alike.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffee blending with the smell of warm biscuits and savory dishes. The shop itself is intimate and inviting, featuring a few well-placed tables and a charming outdoor seating area that offers a perfect spot for people-watching or soaking up the day’s sunshine.
At the heart of Norma’s menu are the creations that locals rave about, such as the mouth-watering Mummus Plate, which features housemade hummus topped with fresh parsley and accompanied by crunchy carrot sticks, cucumbers, and warm flatbread, all for just $8. For those searching for something heartier, the Tuna Melt, made with zesty tuna, melted cheddar, and fresh micro greens, is a satisfying option that hits all the right notes for just $6.
No visit would be complete without indulging in their signature biscuits, especially the Southerner – a symphony of sausage gravy, egg, and honey butter, all elegantly stacked on a homemade biscuit. Another standout is the New Yorker; a rich and flavorful breakfast sandwich that promises to delight your taste buds with its blend of spicy bacon and flaky scallion cheddar biscuit. As one loyal customer shared, "the New Yorker with spicy bacon on a scallion cheddar biscuit is amazing" – the kind of praise that speaks volumes! Don’t forget to pair your meal with one of their expertly crafted drinks; the Sweet Vanilla Chai Tea Latte is especially popular for its rich, comforting flavors.
However, be prepared for a little wait!
