the new yorker with spicy bacon on a scallion cheddar biscuit is amazing. Consider getting it with mayo or tomato or both. I've been here probably 20 times and gotten the same thing 15+ times.
It can look a bit strange and disproportioned, but it tastes amazing don't worry.
wait times can be a bit bad, as with seating, but the quality of the food at its peak makes it all worthwhile.
Some may dislike the baked egg as opposed to scrambled and folded.

The biscuit sandwich is a must! But get yours early, they sell out.

The New Yorker with vegan sausage is really good, especially on the biscuit. Seating is unpredictable. Also be prepared to wait a little while

Best breakfast sandwich I’ve found in the area, their New Yorker on a biscuit is so good.
I also want to commend them for their customer service.
They were having electrical issues with their oven a few weeks ago and unable to make breakfast sandwiches so I had my order cancelled after placing it. When I looked back a few weeks later there was a mistake and the refund had not been processed.
I brought this up next time I went (a few weeks later) and they handled it very gracefully and made things right on that order. Thank you guys.

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 was the most bitter caramel latte experience of my life. And the non seasoned New Yorker is reminiscent of a late-night 7-eleven run when you take the wrapped bacon, egg and cheese that's been under the heat lamp all day. The egg is the same as the one u get from dunkin donuts..a round processed unremarkable circle of yellow..I could go on but I will spare you and give you a blessing in disguise. It's called Nomad's..it just around the corner from where you thought you wanted to go before until I saved your day by telling you this..get the smashbrowns..don't even look at the menu..you are in for the best breakfast item the world has ever divulged in..tell him smitty put you on. Have a blessed day..

I usually get the chicken melt and it's very good. The coffee is also consistently good. It can take some time as the kitchen is small, but the staff is busy and works hard and is polite.
I order food in advance, and they've never missed an order, like some delis do. The coffee I order when I get there.

If you find yourself in Ridgewood this is one of the best breakfast sandwiches in NYC imo. I miss living in this neighborhood just because of Norma's. A true little known gem.
I’ve been a customer for almost 10 years. Yesterday, June 14th, takes the cake for the worst service I’ve had. The Barista seemed more interested talking to his friend than preparing drinks. I had a simple one drink order yet they made it with almost no ice and the taste was bland. The way they served the drink too, calling out the order as if making this thing was wasting their time, makes me want to take my $7 down the street to anywhere else and get a decent drink. Coffee shops are popping up All over Ridgewood. Next time, I’ll go to Cholita or Abracadabra where the drinks and service are actually good.
PS the person working the register, hat with curly hair, was very professional.

This place should really let customers know when they aren’t taking online orders instead of wasting people’s time trying to figure out why the website is not allowing them to continue with payment. Very frustrating!
Also, the quality has been decreasing. I blame the herd of transplants.

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.
