Nordstrom Cafe

Nordstrom Café never disappoints me no matter which location I’m at. The eBar at the LA grove is one of my favorite coffee spots. They have reasonable prices and very talented baristas. Also surprisingly great veggie wraps when you are on the go! The staff is super friendly! The new red tea latte is Devine and my new choice of drink for now :)

I don’t normally like to cheat on my boyfriend, Starbucks, but I made an exception because my cousin Val really wanted to come here. I love that they have non dairy options to go with your latte! I’m lactose intolerant so that’s very important to me. I got a breakfast tea latte and really enjoyed it. They also sell the most magnificent mini chocolates near the register. Do yourself a favor and try to dark chocolate mint!!!

It’s actually one of the better places to grab a cup of coffee and a quick sandwich at the grove. The coffee is good, and the smoothies are pretty delicious as well.

Nordstrom Café has become one of our favorite places to dine when we’re in the Grove LA area. The food is EXCELLENT and the service is always great. The fresh, warm bread and butter is so yummy. The restaurant has a fine dining look and feel so it’s great for special occasions (even though it’s located outside perimeter of the grove). Everything we’ve ordered has been really tasty. You will not be disappointed!

great lunch place good salads tomatoe bisque soup and sandwich is really good customer service is always very good iam going back!

Likes: Fruit smoothie was ok Free wifi.
Dislikes: Fruit smoothie was ok

Love this place so much! Their snacks and coffees are so delicious and things you truly want versus other mall food options. Grab a coffee and window shop, you won’t regret it.

I’m obsessed with the Italian sandwiches here! Delish. The coffee and teas are good here too. When I’m at the grove and need to pick up something quick, I come here.

Nordstrom Café is located facing the interior of the Grove. It’s to your left as you enter Nordstrom.
It serves coffee, pastries, snacks and other drinks. It’s a small area, and it can get very busy at times. Sometimes, it’s impeccably clean and other times, it seems like a mess. It has a nice outdoor sitting area.

I have friends who love it. I don’t. This may sound mean, but too many older ladies who can’t figure out what they want, take forever in the line, can’t figure out how to pay, and generally make you nuts. Okay, that WAS mean. It doesn’t help that the staff is sort of brusque and unhelpful as well.

Jen and I walked around The Grove after lunch and she wanted to look at some earrings at Nordstrom. Afterwards, we were both sleepy, so we shared an ice vanilla latte. The service was very friendly and they were fast too. Nice outdoor sitting area too.

great coffee & expresso drinks! also pretty good selection of salads and sandwiches. the bbq chicken salad is pretty bomb! nordstroms baristas are really friendly, very well trained very well & know lot about coffee. the music is pretty good. plus they have outdoor seating. also i have say casey c’s review isn’t true. dude you went during the holidays yeah the mall is going to suck and also what gives you the right to skip 30 people in line, especially when you aren’t even paying?
oh also they organic and fair trade coffee which is a huge plus for me.

Being a morning person I like to hit the mall early, why do malls not open until 10? Nordstrom Café opens at 9, so it is convenient for me to show up at 9.50, grab a drink and then start shopping, perfect.
I strongly recommend the Mexican Mocha, this is my favorite coffee drink in LA. If someone knows where else to find something this delicious, let me know. This isn’t Oaxaca but this Mexican Mocha will do, and for sure it is amazing. I have had some of the pastries, nothing to get super excited about, but tasty. Be careful, don’t spill your coffee on the clothes as you shop, not that I did.

What happened?
I used to enjoy a coffee and croissant at the Nordstrom caf before going shopping at the Grove.
However the quality of their croissant has decreased lately. I could not eat it it was so bad! I am surprised I used to believe in quality for Nordstrom.
Avoid!

I tried the Mexican style coffee and thought it was too sweet.
I’ll give it another try and adjust the review accordingly in due time.
The line was pretty long and pick up was chaotic.

Friendly employees, delicious coffee, so clean you could do eye surgery. Often a first stop when shopping at the Grove, or caffeinating before a late movie…

Great for a quick fix and a better option than The Farm a few storefronts down.
I was at The Grove the other day having to purchase software at the Apple Store. I had not eaten all day and was a little reluctant to walk over to The Farmer’s Market area for a bite because I was strapped for time. Thank God for Nordstrom Café!
I slalomed through the line, checked out the fresh ready made sammies and selected the Albacore Tuna Sammie. I walked right up to the cheery chap at the register and he rung me up and asked if I wanted a beverage. I ordered a hot African Nectar Tea.
Albacore Tuna Sammie: 3.5÷5
Apparently these sammies are «fresh, made daily». The tuna was tasty. The lettuce and tomato equally so. I did have an issue with the wheat bread as it was a bit firm due to being refrigerated. And since their sammies stand upright, the tuna juices settled on the bottom and I noticed while finishing it that the juices made the bread pretty soggy.
African Nectar Tea: ⁵⁄₅
Yummy!!! Nordstrom Café brews Mighty Tea Leaf! This red tea with fruity infusion brought a smile to me face sip after sip!
Great service, tasty treats, sammies that do the trick… Nordy Café is a solid 4 stars!

Nordstrom Café is like an upscale Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Yes the prices are about the same, but I think the quality here is absolutely stupendous.
Their pastries are unique; I don’t usually see palmiers, apricot bars, or hazelnut crunchy things at other mainstream coffee places.
They come up with new drinks depending on the season. A few months ago, I think they came out with a Mexican Chocolate Cinnamon concoction for the spring or summer, which tasted absolutely heavenly.
Oh, and their sandwhiches, especially the ones where they lather on garlicky mayo … those are delish!
Not the cheapest place, but I don’t mind splurging here.

This place is awesome! I used to go to the Starbucks located inside of the Barnes and Noble here. I even tried the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf across the street at the Farmer’s Market side of the property. This place has excellent service anytime of the day. The employees are very friendly and helpful. The best part is they make every attempt to keep the line moving. They have a cool little bar area inside of the café, for those chilly nights or afternoons that are a bit too warm. Their outside patio area is the best for people watching.
From time to time you might catch a game of chess in the patio or a celeb walking past you. I’ve seen Kim Kardashian and Adam Sandler this past week alone.
The pastries are better than anything on this property with the exception of the Cheesecake factory. Check for yourself.
