“Nordstrom has some of the best pasta! I also loved our server Priya , she was great & attentive!!”

“Nice lunch option while shopping. Enjoyed the salads and a glass of wine 🍷.”

“Cafe Nordstrom is located on the 4th floor and offers a comfortable booth dining experience. Like the Schaumburg location, you order at the register and can choose between takeout or dine-in, where a friendly waitress will bring your order to your table. One standout feature here is the large windows that provide a stunning view of the skyscrapers, a welcome change from the mall parking lot view in Schaumburg. My lunch buddy and I both opted for the Santa Fe chicken panini, and it did not disappoint! The sandwich was super fresh, perfectly crafted with a delicious blend of cheesy, creamy, and savory flavors, with just the right amount of kick. You can pair your meal with a salad or another side; I chose the salad with balsamic vinaigrette, which complemented the panini quite well. This meal is not only one of my favorite comfort lunches, but it's also filling enough to have leftovers. A little tip: the sandwich reheats wonderfully in an air fryer at home. Highly recommend Cafe Nordstrom for a satisfying lunch!”

“Ida was GREAT server and we really appreciate her kindness and service. Food was good and fresh. Lady at front counter when ordering was grumpy and unfriendly.”

She recommended the Blackened Penne Pasta and it was delicious!🔥 Thanks Ida and the team for making my experience a great one.”
