Upon entering, one can walk right up to the ordering counter. They have a standard coffee and tea menu, specialty drinks, seasonal drinks, and some pastries for purchase. Their specialty/seasonal drinks aren't posted outside of the register so I recommend looking online as a preview if needed. I got the Funky Monkey as the barista said it was their most popular seasonal drink. I loved the subtle banana flavor and slightly sweet notes. The espresso is also house roasted and great quality. My husband tried their Chai Latte which was okay. We also shared an Old Fashioned donut which had great flavor. Coffee flavors definitely seem to be their sweet spot!

We came here for a caffeine fix, ordering the following: +Turkish Coffee +Latte with almond milk +a Pistachio Latte +and, a Spanish Latte We also tried their mini bird's nests, a few filled with chocolate, and another few filled with pistachio - these were actually pretty tasty! Unfortunately, the coffee was not brewed well and was extremely weak; they looked aesthetically pleasing, though, with the latte art and/or the toppings. Staff were friendly; once you order, your items will be ready for you on the side counter. The space is bright, and they have a handful of seating inside - the place is popular, so you may have to wait a few for a table.

Also they have a 3% credit card fee. Nice. I don't remember they warned me about that. Service is odd. No one greet you or say anything. I was just standing there and they were working until I speak up. All the customers already sat down and have their drinks so I don't understand why I wasn't greeted. Bake goods are dry. Taste like 5 days old

What could go wrong? Everything. I know a good tuna melt and this wasn't it. Yes the cheese was all melty over the top but other than that the tuna was cold, the sour dough bread not toasted and tasted---- well bready. I even googled tuna melt to see if this was some other version they served, but no. It was just done wrong. It should have been a hot, toasted melty delicious sandwich. It wasn't. They even took it back for another pass under the broiler and the cheese melted more but that didn't fix anything. Come on, Bloomies.

My companion and I stopped here after an afternoon of shopping. In the evening, the Cafe is considerably quieter, and I saw that the bakery case was almost empty. My friend ordered the shrimp and corn salad and a biscuit -- but they were out of biscuits. I ordered the tomato soup and one of the sad lonely cookies that were left. We sat in a booth (the decor seems a little dated) and a wait staff confirms your order and brings your beverage. I like that they still keep refilling your diet coke from a carafe. My friend enjoyed his salad and the tomato soup was the same as before -- rich and tangy and tomatoey. The cookie was good -- would have been even better warmed. The food is pretty good. I think all of the salads are great. It's livelier during the day -- in the evening it seemed a little sad. They used to give you a little chocolate wafer when you finished -- but not this time!

Not sure if there's a lack of quality control or there are different individuals preparing the food at different shifts, but we have been receiving almost inedible plates. The Garlic Mushroom Scrambled Eggs had an off-putting smell and were scrambled hard - was not possible to enjoy these so these were pushed off to the side and tossed. The B.A.T. Tartine's arugula/mix was not fresh and had a slimy consistency, and they were also not dressed well. The lattes were served lukewarm, even though we requested them to be extra hot - they were also watered down. Staff are friendly, but the price point just does not justify the items you receive. No dice, Blue Kale. +avoid the scrambled eggs +slimy arugula +weak lattes

Have been coming here for years and the food never disappoints. Casual serves allows you to place your order at the counter and chose your seat selection, while your food is served on the table. Great selection of sandwiches, pastas, and meat entrees. Staple items I love getting are: The Chicken Cilantro Lime Salad: generous portion of leafy greens, pilled with sliced roasted chicken, pumpkin seeds and appetizing cilantro sauce. Pairs nicely with their warm tomato basil soup and great for option for a healthier alternative. Another personal favorite,is their Tuscan Chicken:served nicely seasoned with a variety of vegetables that are fuilling and great in flavor. Never disappointed and love coming here for casual dining that Nordstrom balances out with welcoming service and delicious fresh entree options.

The coffee itself wasn't too hot and had a really nice flavor. The caffeine boost was subtle which was nice as well. There were minimal open tables to sit at midmorning as there were many families enjoying breakfast, friends catching up, or people working remote. Parking was a bit tough as this is across from the train station. There is a small lot but it fills up quickly. Pro Tip: They have wait times posted next to the ordering counter so you know how long to expect to wait.
