As a former Nordstrom employee, Ebar is a solid spot. I used to come here daily for coffee, pastries, salads, smoothies & sandwiches. The staff is usually pretty busy, but they always take the time to provide great customer service. Some days there can be a bit of a wait, but it's well worth it. My go-to is an iced Americano with oat milk, half lavender & half vanilla. When it's warm out, my guilty pleasure is an Electric Chair. I'm not sure where I first learned about it, but it's a bit of a secret menu item, basically a can of Coke & espresso (at least that's how it started for me). Over time, I've gotten more creative & added oat milk & vanilla, and it's so refreshing & delicious. I usually grab & go, but there's seating both in the café area & across from it if you want to stay. Stop in & order a drink or grab a bite sometime at Nordstrom Ebar! read more

I've had several disappointing experiences with Maggie (manager) at this location. The manager's interactions with employees often come across as disrespectful, even in front of customers, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. I personally have witnessed her raise her voice at an employee for simply finishing a conversation with a customer about a trip that she had gone on and since that encounter I have not seen this girl so I'm assuming (purely assumption) she either got fired or left. Additionally, her management style feels overly controlling rather than collaborative. Instead of empowering employees, she gets angry, which doesn't contribute to a positive or productive work environment. My recent encounter that was very weird, mind blowing and showed how much of a controlling person she is, was ordering three avocado toast and her saying that she was not ready to make those because she was an hour late to work when we had just watched a different employee finish making another customer avocado toast. I was very confused because you know more people are gonna come and ask for this order so because she wasn't ready we weren't allowed to order and enjoy our breakfast. I have bit my tongue for so long regarding these issues with this manager because I really like everyone that works there but I can't even imagine how they feel when they are on the clock with her because of how I've been treated as a customer . I hope the company addresses these issues, because the rest of the staff works hard, and they are so phenomenal and with better leadership, this could be a much more welcoming place for everyone. read more

SO pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was here!!! The man who took my order was such a gem, very sweet and I always appreciate that:) I tried the mocha banana ice storm and it was soooo good I would absolutely get that again in an instant! Definitely would recommend for a good, quick coffee on the go while you explore the mall! read more

The food and cookies here are really good! It's packed during the holiday season but worth it for the food quality. The chicken Alfredo is tasty and the perfect portion size for something hearty that will fill you up without leaving you feeling stuffed. Although I haven't personally tried them I've heard the soups served here are also very good. The hardworking staff also deserves recognition - it's been busy nonstop from open to close at this location. read more

I ordered a large cold brew with easy ice from the Nordstrom E Bar in Costa Mesa. What I received was barely a medium size cup. When I asked why, the barista told me that "easy ice" means less liquid too--which is completely illogical. I paid full price for a large drink, not a watered-down sample. This is the first time I've ever experienced such poor treatment at a coffee shop--especially at Nordstrom, where I expect better service and transparency. I felt cheated and disrespected. The photo attached shows exactly what I received. Be careful when ordering here. If you ask for easy ice, you might end up paying full price for half a drink. This experience was unacceptable, and I hope Nordstrom takes steps to train their staff on respectful customer service and honest practices. read more

Unbelievable service. 10/10. My nephew wanted a plain bagel, but I saw that the person ahead of me ordered the last one in the display case. I asked the cashier if she had more in the back, and even though they didn't, I appreciated that she checked. My nephew ended up getting the pizza bagel and he was not disappointed!!! He didn't even need cream cheese and it was gone in seconds. Haha. My latte was delish, as always. The drinks came out quickly and the bagels were perfectly warmed up. If you're shopping and want a pick me up/ snack... I def recommend. read more

The employees, including the manager are extremely rude here I asked for a to go carry carrying cup bag the barista told me no I asked to speak to a manger she was apparently standing right next to her I told the manager I have my toddler and I'm going to be shopping if I could have a cup bag the manger gave me a bad look and started telling me bad things about the carrying bag I'm thinking in my head I didn't ask for the pros and cons about the bag I just need the bag my goodness she gives me the bag with attitude then she walked away. I enjoyed coming to EBar but after this I won't be coming back. read more

Lavender Chai Latte is a serious win for me! I love how they make it here and while you are shopping you can enjoy your cup of joe or sit at the few chairs that they have on the side. This place isn't big and they actually have a lot of customers. So I understand why people might not like this place. But I believe it is worth the wait. I order my Lavender Chai Latte with two shots of espresso and I substitute the milk with almond milk. My mom got a Carmel macchiato with regular milk and also enjoyed that! Overall it was a nice cup of joe! read more

This Ebar is one of the smallest with very limited seatings. I ordered an iced lavender chai with coconut milk, I think I like it hot much better. The ice melted from high temperature that day so it watered down the drink and tasted weird. I was glad to see one of the workers was cleaning the condiment bar with disinfectant wipes thoroughly! A lot of places don't pay as much attention to disinfect surfaces anymore. I get it workers are tired of doing it for more than 2 years. So I really appreciated the effort! As usual the baristas were very friendly and fast like any Nordstrom Ebar locations! read more

I had driven out to Costa Mesa's 'Nordstrom,' as well for their Ebar drinks and shopping at their Fresh skincare boutique. Lovin' 'Nordstrom' during holiday season because they would be all fully decorated and Costs Mesa branch was entirely decorated like 2 years ago, too, during the beginning of the Pandemic. I prefer Nordstrom Ebar drinks as well as Peets' Coffee over Starbucks that's why I don't review any just in Walnut when I received a gift card from work to go only. read more

Yummy coffee! I like their menu options. Best part about going to the mall is stopping by for a coffee first.

A raining day = Hot chocolate moment for me, especially when you need the "energy" to stroll around South Coast Plaza and shop. Tried other menu instead of my regular caramel macchiato. I ordered Italian Chocolate as advices by their server. I do appreciate her honesty to keep me small size as it's quite intense, which was the right portion for me. As an extreme dark chocolate lover, Italian Chocolate is rich and creamy chocolate taste. Very well balanced betwen chocolate and milk. Sugar level was really just nice. read more

The matcha latte from here taste absolutely horrible. Please improve it. Even the one they make at Starbucks is better.

Relaxed atmosphere that wasn't very busy so stopped by while shopping. Staff was nice. The iced latte with oat milk was all right. Wouldn't mind drinking it again but not a favorite. However! The jalapeño and cheese bagel was amazing! Definitely coming back for that next time I'm in the area. read more

Good coffee. People are relatively friendly and service is relatively efficient.....depending on the day and crowd. ;) It's our usual stop for afternoon espresso. read more

I'm pretty impressed with Nordstrom's cafe. The customer service is great and their lattes and cookies are too! My favorite deink is their spiced chai latte with oat milk. It's just so smooth. They have a good little selection of pastries as well. My fav. is their Royale Cookie- must try (if you like chocolateand nuts)! Sometimes I drive to this mall just so that I can stop by here. It's located on the second floor inside Nordstrom at the exit into the rest of the mall. Keep up the great work Nordstrom Ebar! read more

Didn't have the mugs but it was really yummy! I wanted to sit with a cute mug though so it made me a little sad

My boyfriend and I both got an iced vanilla latte and it was literally the most nasty burnt tasting latte ive ever had, a Keurig could have made a better latte. I wish i could get the $10 back I spent on those garbage lattes :( read more

My kids like this but I'm ok with it. Coffee is good but kinda limited in my opinion. Maybe just me. What they do make does taste good. Employees were cool and attentive. read more

Friendly, efficient service and smooth hot coffee . A welcome respite after an arduous day of shopping!

I want to give 5 stars but depending on who's working here there service can be 5 stars or 1!! Yoli, Ashley, and maribel are all amazing and give Nordstrom quality service. There are a few other employees who are just terrible and when i go in and see them i already know the ebar is out of something or there is something they claim they can't do which employees with 5 star service manage to handle. I'm sorry it's easy if you hate your job quit. That simple. People who need coffee can't deal with a bad attitude early in the morning. If i ask for a side of peanut butter i need it with a lid on it like is that asking too much. Coffee is good most of the time again depends on who is behind the bar. read more

I love coming to the ebar. My brother in law never tried it so I treated him and my hubby. I have tried so many things here and like most of them. I'm not a fan of the chocolate chip cookie, it's refrigerated and thick/chewy, my personal preference it's room temperature or hot, more on the thinner/crispy type. My favorite things are the pomegranate tea or their lemonade read more

Terrible customer service, the employees are not team members. Three are chiming in the back while the baristas are working hard to finish drinks and no one is stepping up to the plate and helping out. All three are just talking and laughing in the back as everyone can see through the window. Very weak. Customer service is lost. This is the fourth time this has happened to us. Terrible. read more

Starbucks was too far. I wouldn't make it over alive with the heels I was wearing. Luckily, I hobbled across this cute coffee shop. The cashier was efficient and orders were taken quickly. The two baristas were just as efficient. I got my drink within minutes. Cookie n creme: $5 for a tall. Equivalent to Starbucks. I never had a good cookie n creme from a coffee shop before and wasn't expecting much but Ebar. You exceeded my expectations. I happily guzzled my drinks as I touched the fabrics of $200+ dresses -with the hand that wasn't holding the drink, of course. I'm considerate, y'know. I'd definitely come here instead of Starbucks. read more

The employees are absolute amazing, so friendly and so attentive. However they are the only ones who deserve the praise. They charge you $3 to change your milk????? And they charge you for 2 coffees to get a double ebar??? How greedy... not coming back read more

Came by to grab a cup of coffee the other day and it was quite nice. Despite a line of ~10 people. The staff was friendly and the line moved along. Ordered a Mocha w/ half the sweetener and extra foam. The drink came out as requested for $3.5. ...definitely convenient as it's located right outside Nordstrom! read more

You look at the menu, you figure out what you want, you order, you wait for your order, you get your order, you leave. Please don't be one of those people who get in line, don't know what they want, take forever to order, block everyone else in line, wait impatiently, grab the wrong drink, leave, come back, bitch and moan that they got the wrong drink, take both correct and wrong drink, and leave. I hope karma's a bitch. Anyways, ordering items isn't too bad, but you are battling all sorts of clientele....most who are rude, impatient, forget what they ordered seconds after they ordered, and they cut in line. They also think they are super-privileged and everyone should lick their boots. Ugh.... Anyways, only main gripe the bf and I would have is that when they are calling out the complete orders, they aren't specific. "A smoothie!" "A tea!". Okay....there's a few of us standing around for smoothies and teas. Which one is it that you just made? :/ Taste-wise, it's not too bad, but it doesn't taste gourmet or the full $4. They do put in some extra flavors that try and give it the wow factor, but we kind of just drink it without thinking much about it. Sometimes, though, the smoothies taste like they have tons of sugar. Maybe they're using a powder mix? Prices are okay, but a few cents pricier. Is it worth it? Well, it's South Coast Plaza, so the inflation isn't surprising. It's a convenient place to get something, though. Will probably be back. Just really irritating to deal with the other customers. I can only imagine how the employees deal with it... read more

ICE STORM I got the blended mocha and it was good but nothing special. Antonello's inside the mall has an amazing blended mocha that is better than this. I'm very loyal to Nordstrom for their customer service but it's not up to par at the cafe. read more

I had heard raving reviews of the coffee so I had to try it! I ordered a Mexican Mocha and it is delish. Delicious Mexican chocolate and coffee together in one drink, I am not a big chocolate lover so I could only drink like 5 ounces but my cousin absolutely loved it. I also bought some hazelnut wafers and OMG!!!! those cookies are addicting, I am so happy I only bought one packet. Imagine the classic wafer with nutella in the middle. It is divine! I also saw Ibarra Mexican chocolate. Now, if you want good cheap Mexican chocolate, go to a Supermarket. The little bag was like $5.00 at Norsdstrom, you can buy a big box of Chocolate Abuelita at Costco for the same price. Anyway, I was pleased with the experience and I will be back to try other items soon. read more

Want to give a shout-out to Jeanette (sorry if I spelled it wrong) from lingerie department! I haven't bought a new bra (or worn lol) one in like 4yrs! I know. I know. But the sport bra trend got me. Anyhow, it was time to go in a get measured but I wasn't sure if they still did it because of how there are restrictions so I thought I was gonna be on my own but she came to my rescueI continue to love Nordstrom because they have the best bra department. VS who?! You all need to shop here for your bras. Quality bras & wearing the proper size is key to posture and how clothes fit you. read more

Really quick and easy stop to grab coffee, hot coco, a refreshing tea or snack! I got the peppermint mocha and it was delicious! Very rich and creamy flavor, yet not too overpowering. The price isn't too bad either. A small is about $3.50. It is about the same price as Starbucks with a shorter line! The location is on the first floor at the entrance of Nordstrom. read more

I like this place. The new Ebar is really nice. There is seating now, whereas there wasn't before, so it really resembles your local coffee shops. Spacious and you can rest your shopping feet. There was no line to speak of really. Staff were super efficient. The place was clean. We decided to try something different and went for the mocha banana drink for first time. Seems weird in concept but actually the drink was excellent. The banana was very subtle which added to the flavor but didn't overwhelm. read more
