“Such a pleasant, relaxing place to have coffee and authentic crepes. I live within walking distance, so I tell myself the calories don't count if I walk over. I had a classic crepe suzette, and my friend had a savory Mediterranean crepe, filling enough for lunch or Saturday brunch.“

“They were really nice. First time here and the young lady taking my order was really lovely . I got the Buffalo chicken tender platter, really well made chicken. I can tell it was fresh and the Buffalo sauce wasn’t overpowering. Great choice for lunch?!“

“The staff is always so pleasant, the food is amazing, the prices are great, the location is convenient, and they are unbelievably fast. I go for breakfast once a week -(turkey bacon, egg, and Swiss on white) the egg is cooked so perfectly and the sandwich is constructed so neatly. They have plenty of options for bread, cheese, and meat. The coffee and iced tea are always fresh and delicious. There's also several fridges with vitamin waters, Arizona teas, sodas, etc. And some racks of snacks. Ive also had their MD crab soup and it was incredible. Absolutely love this place“

“Title: "Nordstrom Cafe: A Three-Day Culinary Journey Through a Hidden Gem" Introduction: Nordstrom Cafe may not be the first place that comes to mind for a remarkable dining experience, but after spending three consecutive days here, I can confidently say that it's a hidden gem worth discovering. Day 1 - Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp: My culinary adventure began with a classic Caesar salad, elevated by succulent grilled shrimp. The freshness of the lettuce, the creaminess of the dressing, and the perfectly grilled shrimp combined to create a delightful symphony of flavors. It was a refreshing start to my journey, setting high expectations for what was to come. Day 2 - Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Cream Sauce: On my second visit, I decided to explore the pasta offerings and was blown away by the mushroom ravioli. Nestled in a velvety parmesan cream sauce and adorned with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, each bite was a revelation. The ravioli itself was tender, and the earthy flavors of mushrooms harmonized beautifully with the creamy sauce. It was a dish that would make any Italian nonna proud. Day 3 - Grilled Tuscan Salmon with Couscous and Mixed Vegetables: For my grand finale, I opted for the grilled Tuscan salmon. The fish was impeccably cooked, with a perfectly seared exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Paired with a bed of fluffy couscous and an array of vibrant mixed vegetables, it felt like a culinary trip to the Mediterranean. The flavors were fresh, and the portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied. Conclusion: Nordstrom Cafe isn't just a place to grab a quick bite while shopping; it's a culinary destination waiting to be uncovered. With a diverse menu offering dishes like the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, mushroom ravioli with parmesan cream sauce, and grilled Tuscan salmon with couscous and mixed vegetables, this cafe offers a hidden treasure trove of flavors. Three days in a row, I was treated to exceptional food, and each dish left an indelible mark on my taste buds. If you're seeking a hidden gem in the world of dining, Nordstrom Cafe should be on your list. Don't be surprised if, like me, you find yourself returning for more culinary adventures.“

“Great little shop inside the medical building. The smell of bacon wafted through the hall after my PT appt and I couldn't resist getting something. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. The sandwich was delicious. The ladies working there are very nice and helpful as well.“

“The location is tightly situated when it comes to parking, but the food and service make up for any inconvenience. The greeter/register attendants were gracious. Our server was so friendly and jovial that our interaction was quite memorable. Unfortunately, I'm horrible with names, so I can't give him the most deserving shout-out. I am a picky eater and hate all grenery that is usually garnishing your meal. Our server must have relayed super specific instructions for the chef because everything I don't like was in little tin cups to the side. I truly enjoyed my meal thanks to him. The restaurant quickly became crowded, but it was truly understandable as to why. Keep up the great job, First Watch Team. We thank you!!!“

“Taiyone has one of the most beautiful personalities I’ve encountered. I just had to say something bc I felt so valued and appreciated as a customer while he was taking my order. That is how a customer wants to feel when they are patronizing a business. I can tell he enjoys his job which in turn means that this place has a wonderful and healthy work atmosphere. Kudos to the hiring manager for putting the right people in place.“

“Absolutely, it's the best food to snag when you are in the food court of the mall. The bourbon chicken is so good! Little crisp on the outside, probably from the grill; and extra sauce is always the go-to move. It came with fried rice, but make sure to get the extra sauce for the rice. It needs it. The sauce is sweet and runny enough to pour directly and mix on the fried rice! We make time to stop here whenever we are on the way home. Love this place! Jake n kev“

“Good local coffee shop! Only tried their coffee (brewed coffee) and it was pretty great. Very reasonable price as well: ~$4 for a 16oz coffee :) The place was crowded on a Thursday morning. Lots of spaces to sit down. Service was decent; said it was my first time visiting and they did a good job explaining different roasts. Generally a hip vibe, nothing fancy but I would definitely recommend getting coffee here over Starbucks if you are in the area. Much better coffee for a similar price point. Plus, support small biz!“
