Cafe Nordstrom

What a lovely place to have a delicious meal in a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere with excellent service! We enjoyed sitting outside under the umbrellas on a warm summer afternoon. The staff was so attentive to our needs and very kind, warm and welcoming! Highly recommend and looking forward to returning there soon!

Excellent service and delicious food. Great outside seating area. I would definitely eat there again.

Did you know you can host an event at the Nordstrom Marketplace Cafe? I did not, but we hosted my best friend's baby shower here in September and it could not have been a better event. I worked with Jourdan, the General Manager, to arrange all of the details in the months prior to the event. I live in a different state, so I was nervous about planning the shower remotely, but Jourdan made the process so easy. Her communication was flawless and I felt so reassured in their competence to pull this off. What I wasn't prepared for was just how easy the day of the shower turned out to be. They had sectioned off an area of the cafe, set up dining tables, cake table, gift table, etc with linens, table settings, etc. The tables were already dressed with macarons, avocado toasts, and water carafes. The wait staff were so professional and quick to assist the guest throughout the party. The food was beautifully plated and delicious. The drinks were so good and pretty (super Instagram-ready). They had even set up a bouquet making station as an activity for the guests (I wasn't expecting this!) and everyone just loved the simple, elegant, creative activity, rather than cheesy baby shower games. We felt so taken care of and so pleased with the elegance and ease of the whole event. Pricing was also so reasonable, especially with how much we got out of the event. I would hold every event here if I lived in CA. Jourdan and her team are top-notch. Thank you for making my friend's day so special.

The Marketplace Cafe is on the third level of Nordstrom in Walnut Creek. We have been many times for lunch while shopping in the area. They offer a wide variety of salads, soups, and sandwichs and some very nice desert items. We particularly enjoy seating on their outdoor roof top patio featuring views of Mt. Diablo. The prawn salad is a particular favorite. Highly recommended.

This Nordstrom's Cafe is just the right place to have a delicious lunch-' salad or sandwich or larger entree-- while in the busy Walnut Creek downtown. The food is good and the prices even better. You order at the counter and then have friendly attentive service from longterm staff after that. Such a cozy place to relax and eat in the midst of all the hustle and bustle.

Excellent service and delicious food. Great outside seating area. I would definitely eat there again.

More of a semi self services cafe with servers brought you the food after ordering.

All I’m gonna say is don’t sleep on the marketplace Café. This place is great for simple eats like soups, salads, and sandwiches but the spicy shrimp Pomodoro and the pepperoni and mushroom pizza were surprisingly tasty. They also have seasonal specials like birria pizza, yum! The pizza reminded me of the pizzas that you get at an artisanal pizza joint. It was handmade and executed really well. The blackened salmon Caesar is so delish and I order it frequently for lunch. My server Oscar was pleasant, kind and attentive.

went there last Sunday, still one of my favorite. great service, food is great. nice and quiet. wish I had room for desert.

Love the food here! Always a good time. Love the sparkling champagne, got carded when I didn't have my ID and never got carded any other time before or after my visit... a worker was taking her job way too seriously and made the customer service a boop that day. Other than that I love it here!

A great place to meet friends for lunch and do some shopping. Menu selection is good and their food tastes good. It's slightly expensive. They have a nice patio area to eat outside too

I love the food. Desert carrot cake Coming here for years. Our server was Great.

Limited selection of food and drinks. But the patio is nice.

Normally I love this place for lunch. But today, and once before, the salad they served was inedible, with rotten lettuce leaves sprinkled among the fresh. I tried to eat it but gave up: simply too much bad stuff. I called the waiter and asked for another salad, which was brought (no charge). However, this had the same rotted lettuce and this one, the Asian chicken had a rotten, very old piece of mandarin orange. I was starving so again, picked out the worse and lined my dish with these pieces, so show the chef. I called my waiter and asked to see the manager. I think it was the chef for the day who came out. He was polite and said, 'I see what you mean; I wouldn't have eaten that either.' Wow: then why did they serve it to a customer? Two salads, both with rotted lettuce and fruits. And they did not return my money. This is not the normal way Nordstrom's is. 90 % of the time the salads are fresh, tasty, wonderful, thus the 2 star rating for food. Nordstrom: wake up and make your restaurant as consistently good as your other merchandise. Please take this seriously !

Really underwhelming restaurant for a Nordstrom.

Whoa! What’s going on Nordstrom’s?? We ate here this evening and I had to give your location the benefit of the doubt because your Stoneridge location is so good but Walnut Creek is closer to where I live. I definitely will drive the extra 10 min to Pleasanton because your food isn’t cheap and with the prices you charge I expect my Santa Fe panini to not be hard around the edges or my kids Mac and Cheese cold and watery or my Cilantro Lime salad with watered down dressing. We paid $60 for our food and while the service was good the food taste nothing like the cafe at Stoneridge. I’m assuming new management? Perhaps poor management. Maybe it’s time to get trained at Stoneridge.

Amanda with the short hair and glasses was extremely rude and impatient with my Mother as she tried to order. The food here and atmosphere is great, but they should hire employees with patience and less of an attitude.
