    Pizza
    Kelsey R.

    Food was decent. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was made to order. Very greasy and rich. Staff gave off the impression that they didn't want to be there.

    Salmon Nicoise Salad (1/2 portion)
    Nooshi B.

    Cafe Nordstrom serves up tasty, fresh options when you want a bite to eat while shopping. My friend and I split the Nicoise Salad and it hit the spot! The dressing was actually one of the best things I've tasted in quite some time. The salmon was a tad dry, but wasn't a big deal. The portion was more than enough for one person and the salad was full of potatoes, tomatoes, hard boiled egg, green beans and onions. Service was great and the little chocolates they bring at the end of the meal are so good.

    Niçoise salad
    Yvette 'Divie' E.

    Passed by while shopping one day and decided I'd come back to try it. It gives a very "ladies who lunch" vibe, and sometimes, that's exactly what a gal needs! Food/drinks: The twist on a Niçoise salad was delicious, filling, and large! Salmon was cooked just right with a delicious herb sauce on top. Nice presentation and good tea selection too. Service: It's self service meets table service. You wait in line to order, take your receipt and choose a table, and then someone comes to pick up the receipt and bring to your order. All staff I interacted with were helpful and friendly. Ambiance: It's cafeteria meets $$$. It's causal enough, food comes quickly, and no one rushes you. A mix of folks makes for fun people watching. Enjoyed the experience and would come back.

    Creole chicken and okra
    Nhan L.

    A bit pricey but the food is good quality and the service is good. The cashiers are always friendly and helpful. My particular waitress wasn't super attentive or overly friendly during my latest meal. I was there during lunch and she may have left me alone since I was completing some work things so I don't blame her. I headed there for their special Black History Month entree. It was a creole chicken and okra dish, created by Seattle Communion's chef Kristi Brown. The chicken was seasoned well and I enjoyed how tender and juicy it was. It paired well with the okra. It all laid on top of a hoe cake, that I found too sweet for my liking. The firstly edges were a great texture add though. Give it a try before the month ends!

    Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich
    Stellah K.

    I ordered Santa Fe Chicken Panini which is one favorite menu at the Cafe or Marketplace Cafe at Nordstrom. But when I received my pick up order from downtown Nordstrom today, the Shrimp Pomodoro and the Santa Fe sandwich, there was no avocado at all, hardly any caramelized onions. I have been an ICON member forever and this was the worst food order I have received from any Nordstrom restaurant. So disappointed.

    Margherita Pizza
    Mark T.

    We were looking for a bite and found Café Nordstrom - and what a pleasant surprise! Easy, fast and tasty. The menu isn't huge, but it's a café after all - and the staff aims to please. You order and pay at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I like the idea of not having to tip when you order - how do you know how to tip if you haven't gotten any service yet? So I'm a fan of the system they have here at Café Nordstrom. We had a Margherita Pizza and a Caprese salad (we're trying to adhere to Meatless Monday...) - and after a bit of thinking, they're pretty much exactly the same ingredients just in differing amounts. Plus the caprese had a pesto with pine nuts. Buy my pizza had basil, so we were close. I'm not afraid to venture back to Café Nordstrom. It gets a thumbs up.

    Wild Alaska Pollock Sandwich with Cesar salad. Pleasantly surprised by this one!!!
    Jeremy S.

    We've been coming to Café Nordstrom downtown for a long time. The food and service has been strong in general, while particularly good recently. We tried the new fish sandwich and chowder. Both highlighting Wild Alaska Pollock. We learned during our last visit that it's the most sustainable commercial fish in the world. Highly recommend!

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

The grilled cheese was made to perfection the bread was fresh, thick, and delicious, and it was packed with cheese! The tomato soup was also delicious with a unique flavor. My only (very minor) complaint is that it was served in a cup, which made it hard to dip the grilled cheese. A bowl would've been much better for dipping! Overall, this café was a quiet, cozy spot with pleasant employees. I'd definitely visit again.

Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.

They sell themselves around being a holiday themed shop which isn't a bad thing, but when it's not the holiday season, the charm feels almost mismatched. All that to say, I love the idea, the space, and the vibes here but have often looked past it because of my perception with the branding. However, I will say their menu is great and the holiday joy is more of a supplement rather than a cover up or gimmick. I would comfortably visit Jollidaze for their drinks and get a working session. Wifi available, washroom (restrooms) available, and outlets available. Ube Phe Latte - rich, creamy, ube foam on top of a strong ca phe! There's also some ube milk, so a three layered drink. Both parts of ube were nutty, sweet, and paired with the ca phe amazingly. Strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk always hits but the ube mixture is a cherry on top. Up there with the other ube coffees around. Strawberry Matcha - honestly a simple no frills strawberry matcha. Smoothly whisked matcha, lightly sweetened strawberry puree, and a cup to be mixed in. Maybe more jam than other spots, which can help sweeten the drink and add some texture (chewiness), so might have to say above average.

As we entered, my daughters were excitedly yelling "Grinch." Throughout my order, the employee maintained a visibly displeased demeanor. Once I had paid, she rudely stated that "they need to keep it down because people are working." If a business does not welcome excited children, perhaps it is better suited as an adult-only space. When a child is not causing harm to themselves or others, there is no reason to ask them to be silent. It is especially important to recognize that children on the spectrum express themselves differently, and they deserve to be able to exist freely without judgment.

The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside.

However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
