My friend & I fancied a coffee when we were over shopping in Earthfare & found by chance Normandy Farms. It is a nice addition to this lovely area of James Island. We bought a few loaves of delicious bread to take home. Got two coffees & a cookie & sat outside to enjoy. The outside area is shaded which was a great advantage today. They also have some seating inside. It seems like locals come here to get some work done. They have a great selection of homemade sandwiches & Quiche. They also had breakfast sandwiches but they were sold out when we were there at noon. Our experience was fine. In my opinion coffee not great unfortunately. A little too weak for me but other than that, all good. read more

Delicious pastries, need to go early to get the cinnamon roll in time. The service staff could be friendlier, but oh well.

Stopped in randomly, hoping to get coffee, but there wasn't much to choose from, so we grabbed a sandwich instead. Given the time of day (afternoon), there seemed to be out of a lot of stuff, assuming because they had sold out earlier in the day. Staff was friendly, sandwiches were pretty tasty. Space is a little smaller, but with both outside & inside seating. Not sure it's somewhere I'd go all of the time, but not bad for a quick bite. read more

Best bakery around. They have fresh baguettes, country loaves, sandwiches on focaccia, dream bars, coffee cakes and croissants and coffee. I met a friend for coffee and had a good time. read more

We got there right before closing, so there wasn't a huge selection, but the Farmhouse loaf of bread we bought was so spot on. As you can see in the picture i provided, this isn't your average loaf of bread as it is freaking huge. The Crust on the outside was super crispy while the inside was as soft as a pillow. And the taste is amazing. The bread was perfect sopping up the soup of the claims and linguine we ate that night. This bread is so good, we will certainly go back another time, but earlier in the day to sample hopefully other great offerings read more

Great bakery, we had a couple sandwiches and a slice of quiche. All were phenomenal and pricing is great, good value! Also had the banana bread later on, so tasty and well balanced. Great spot to grab and go read more

I'd give 5 stars if the woman behind the counter wasn't so incredibly unwelcoming. I stopped in yesterday for a quick bite and looked directly at her and said "Good Morning, how are you?" She turned and walked away. It's become a joke with a friend of mine anytime we go to text the other person and say "yep the girl at NF is still rude." The food is decent and there is ample seating including outdoors. Give it a try just don't expect any niceties from the lady behind the counter! read more

Excellent sandwiches and one of the few places I've found in the Charleston area that makes good sourdough loaves. Their rye bread is also top notch. read more

After picking up our wheelchair-bound friend for an appointment at MUSC, we wanted to stop along the way for a bite to eat. It was around 11 when we stopped in and I was hoping for breakfast sandwiches, but they were all out. It was late for breakfast, and early for lunch but I needed more than a pastry or a donut so I opted for one of the premade sandwiches in the case. I wasn't too excited about a Turkey BLT wrapped in saran wrap until she asked if I wanted the sandwich toasted and upped the quality of the sandwich by 100%. Between the warm brunch sourdough, cold ingredients, and crispy bacon, this sandwich was fantastic. I've been dreaming about going over there to get another. Definitely don't skip out on this option. We also had a quiche, pastries, and coffee. Everything was great! We were able to grab a seat outside on a beautiful morning and get the wheelchair right up to the table. As others have mentioned, I will say that the woman behind the counter wasn't rude, but also not very welcoming either. Accommodating, but almost bothered that you're there. Aside from that it was an amazing experience and I took home a baguette that was phenomenal. I'll definitely be back. read more

A little on the expensive end, and the cashier was pretty rude. Interrupted me when I was ordering two biscuits (I was supposed to grab them off the hot bar) and then asked twice if I was ready to order- the cashier didn't have a smile or give recommendations etc. At 11:30 the bakery was sold out of almost all pastries, so keep that in mind when timing your visit, and their sandwiches were extremely dry and basic. Had the chicken salad on sourdough and there was no seasoning. The two breakfast biscuits I got were pretty small- the total for these three items was about $18. The biscuits would be a 'side' not a full breakfast, even for an on-the-go meal. Glad I went to a local place, but that's all I can really say -!@&5 it. read more

We had lunch at Normandy Farms yesterday and it was okay but not great. We arrived at noon and there were only 4 types of sandwiches to choose from. We had the tomato, mozzarella on baguette and it was good, but the tomatoes did not seem to be too fresh. The place seems to be falling apart, and not very clean. In addition, there was a "Restrooms out of order" sign so going to the restroom was not an option. I used to really love this place and am hoping yesterday was not the norm. read more

I've tried this bakery three times when on Folly Road, and each time the items have been over cooked/burnt, and almost no ham in the ham and Swiss croissant. The cashier does not greet you, meet your gaze or thank you. Three strikes, so that's it for me. I'll stick with Saveurs du Monde downtown. read more

By mid-morning there were very few pastries available; there were doughnuts, loaves of bread, bagels, sandwiches, and some dry looking muffins. I went to the one downtown and right before closing they had a better selection. read more

I can't believe I had no clue this place existed but I am sure glad I've found it now! I was craving a bagel and used the Yelp App to find bagels near me -- voila -- Normandy Farms! I've actually never driven past Earthfare in the Windermere Shopping Center so it was a bit of an adventure for me (lots of stores to check out back there!). There is plenty of parking available near the bakery. I walked in to see the cute little display with baked goods, bread, yogurt parfaits, etc. I ordered a yogurt parfait and a bagel with cream cheese which they had toasted and ready for me in just a couple of minutes. Everything was tasty and super cute; I will definitely be returning! read more

Great sandwiches, bread is amazing. Quiet environment, would go back. Only problem was the bathroom was as broken

Normandy Farm Bakery on Windermere Boulevard in West Ashley is a great place to get some of the best sandwiches and breads in the area. I really like every sandwich they have available with the fresh baked bread and the best ingredients. They make the ordering process very easy even with larger orders it goes smoothly. I have been happy with the results every time I have come through here. read more

No ambiance or bathroom, but the food and coffee are delicious. Try the pesto bialy if you're in the mood for something savory. All the sweet baked goods looked equally delicious. You can smell everything baking when you walk by. read more

While the five stars is being a bit optimistic, over the years Normandy Farm has improved so much that on the basis of consistent quality, unique products, and sheer commitment to the craft of baking interesting varieties of bread, they deserve them. Speaking of which, NF makes delicious bread--some varieties are outstanding, some "merely" good. On a daily basis they make quiches (quite nice--creamy, flavorful), pre-made sandwiches for lunch and breakfast, as well as croissants. Their other baked goods--cookies, pastries, and various types of bialys (kale-walnut/egg-bacon/etc)-- are also high quality. Some, like the kale-walnut bialy, are as good as you'll find anywhere, including New York. NF recently started roasting coffee and selling it for the very reasonable price of $1 a cup. I've bought their roasted beans in bulk (dark and medium roasts) and they make a fine brew. Even more recently Chris and the crew have started making breakfast pizzas in a wood fired oven purchased from the defunct Heart Woodfire Kitchen on James Island. Haven't tried the pizza, but the toppings are interesting and not traditional. Many of the varieties of bread are featured at the Normandy Farms stand at Saturday's Marion Square Farmers Market. Crusty, distinctive sourdoughs, baguettes, and boules incorporate flax seed, walnuts, and other nuts, spices and seeds added to rye and wheat flours from the Edisto-based Geechie Boy Mill. Prices have gone up a bit in the past year--generally to $6 a loaf from $5, but compared to other cities bakery prices, they're not bad. The store (as well as the stand at the Farmers Market) is frequently busy during lunch and breakfast hours, but the service is always friendly.... read more

Great bakery in West Ashley! Like someone said, once they are out... they are OUT. So, get their early for best choices. Hubs and I buy their bread at the local farmer's market or in their store and we love it. Great for making French Toast for morning breakfasts or on sandwiches. We've had some lunch sandwiches there too, pretty good. This morning, my run club ran on the Greenway and stopped by NF for breakfast. Most everyone got cute little sandwiches/biscuits with bacon, egg, and cheese on pretzel bread and a coffee. Only $3. You really can't beat that for a breakfast! read more

During our dinner at Fig We tasted a delicious bread very similar with a bread from Alentejo, Portugal (Europe). So we decided to buy more of this magnific bread. Are you curious about it? It's farm bread. They don't have a slice machine but the staff was very helpful and cut it for us. If you want to try the original recipe you should go to Alentejo, it's a gorgeous area with amazing food. read more

This is where I get my bread. Go early, nice and crispy, with a great taste. I think they also supply other places in the area. Bakery products are also tasty. Great location for anyone shopping the area. Sometimes I walk out eating from my French bread before I get in my car. It's that good. Yea, I know, your thinking, but who says bread has to be eaten with a meal? To me it's a treat no matter when you eat it. Frank G read more

This is such a great little breakfast Nook. Located in the Earth Fare shopping center, it is tucked in the back on the side. All the breads are baked fresh there and although the sandwiches and biscuits are all premade.. I found them to be excellent. You cannot beat their pricing. I had a Everything bagel with lox for $5. That is insane. I also tried their biscuits (egg+cheddar+sausage) and although small it was a steal at $2 for a homemade biscuit. All their pastries are also made in house and although I did not try any... I was definitely coveting their croissants. They looked like they would flake into a million pieces. Skip starbucks next door and try it out. read more

We always get their Sour Dough, not sliced, because we like to cut it in fourths ourselves and then slice for stews, soups, toast, etc, to our own thickness wants at the moment. Their slicer, if you ask for it, is mostly too thin for our likes so far. Fourths, freeze, thaw, cut to appropriate needs, perfect. When we go to the Bay Area, we get sourdough bread at every chance possible. This sourdough comes the closest to SF sour that I have found yet. The baguettes have a thick crust, which is perfect for many wonts, but if you are looking for a baguette to make a Bahn mi, this is is too hearty for that. I have had their Italian premade sandwich, and found that delicious. Bear Claws also excellent, Espressos used to be a dollar so even if I didn't need the jolt, I couldn't resist. I think they are $2 now, so I can resist, but they are the real deal, I am an occasional patron, so don't get touchy feely with the person behind the bar, The two people I have dealt with there are all business, and that is OK with me. I appreciate them, and tip appropriately. I am afraid of this good review, because they are rarely super busy when I am there, but they beat the heck out or any supermarket baked goods by far. read more

Big improvements. Place looks better and staff is better and that Lox bagel for $5 was my ticket to a great day. Sorry it took so long to comeback but will not be that long next time! Serve yourself coffee was great. All around we already knew they had excellent pastry and breads. With the improvements I love this place. read more

Back in September we stayed at the French Quarter Inn, where they had these delicious pastries for breakfast. In fact, they were so delicious I actually went and interrogated the desk clerk as to where they got them from. He told me it was a local place called Normandy Farms. I googled them and found out they had a downtown location on Meeting St, excellent! Then we went by that location and discovered it empty and abandoned. Sad Jamie. Lucky for us they had another location in West Ashley. So this week we finally made the long journey out there to pick up some of their pastries. We showed up pretty late in the day, close to closing time, so there wasn't a ton of stuff still out. We did manage to pick up a chocolate croissant and a piece of orange, almond poppy-seed bread. My favorite thing from the French Quarter Inn was these almond pastries though and they didn't have any in stock, I didn't even see a label for them in the display case. So we special ordered a few to pick up the next day. The next day when I went to pick up my order the clerk told me "someone ate one of your pastries". That's it. No apology, no remedy for the situation (I had already pre-paid). So I suggested I just exchange it for one of the chocolate pastries in the display case, which he was more than happy to do. Still no apology, no offer of a free cookie to make up for the mistake, nothing. I'm a bit peeved about that, but I won't take off a star this time. I will however, call before leaving my house from now on since it's a 20 mile drive there, so I don't have to drive all the way there just to find out that perhaps my order may have been eaten by the staff? So the almond and chocolate pastries were just as tasty as we remembered them. The bread was also really moist and the orange flavoring was very light, didn't overpower the bread. They had lots of nummy looking sandwiches set out around lunchtime and there were quite a few people inside around noon on a Tuesday. Sandwiches are $6.50, cookies and biscotti are $1.75 and most pastries are $2.75. They have bagels in the morning for $1, cream cheese extra. Breakfast biscuits are $3 each. read more

We stopped here to gear up for our 12 hour drive back home, so we bought a little bit of whatever they had out. Everything was great and the girl working at the counter could not have been sweeter or more helpful. They have an assortment of grab n' go sandwiches, salads and fruit salad (bathing in fresh mint and honey I might add!). We also tried the breakfast biscuits, blueberry/cheese danish, cranberry scone, honey wheat bagel, and bacon jalapeno quiche. EVERYTHING was great, I can't really emphasize what high quality baked goods they offer. Definitely a spot worth checking out. Very well priced too. read more
