Best tomato soup! A great friend of mine introduced me to the cafe at Nordstrom. It’s quiet, lovely and tasty! My favourites include: Tomato soup Basic salad Turkey/Cranberry sandwich Often I will come with a friend and we will get a bowl of soup and share the sandwich, which also has a small salad with it.

What a hidden treasure of a cafe. In a loud, busy city this felt like a retreat. We were served so very quickly as we requested rush due to need to catch the last train on time. The food was unexpectedly marvelous! Crab bisque, avocado toast, tomato soup, salads, burrata bruschetta were delivered within minutes and were a pleasure to eat! The burrata (caprese) bruschetta may have been the best I've ever eaten. Try it!

I have been coming here for years with my girlfriends getting the same thing every time we come, Cilatro Lime Salad with Shrimp. In the summertime it is the most refreshing lunch you can have. And of course I have to top it off with their delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie! It’s relative quiet place so you can converse and the service is always great with friendly wait staff.

Very good place. Sharable portions and great prices. My favorite is chicken salad and all sandwiches are pretty good. Their menu is little bit different than other Nordstorm Cafe but its also good.

We've gone to Cafe Nordstrom for years now. You can always count on the consistency of their flavors. The service is quick with good quality. You can never go wrong with the tomatoes basil soup or any of their delicious salad or pasta dishes. Don't forget to add a tip for your wait staff since you order and pay before taking a seat where the waiter will bring your drinks and food. They are always very kind and it's a perfect place for lunch with adults or your kids. Local favorite.

Love all menu items! Salads have no equal in Seattle. Great French Dip, too. Wish tuna and chicken salad sandwiches were added back. Super in '80s.

Whoever thought to put a cafe in Nordstrom is very clever for two reasons. Number one it creates an excuse to enter Nordstrom for a quick bite to eat. Number two if you’re already shopping in Nordstrom it makes it so easy to stay longer. The food is yummy and comes out quickly. I’ve tried a few things - the salmon, clam chowder. Tomato soup, and Caesar salad. All were good. Prices are fair, perhaps a pinch high due to the location. Overall, it’s a satisfying experience.
