“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?!“

“Next Columbia hidden gem?!?! Stopped in to grab a cup of coffee when I was captivated by an irresistible aroma of fresh made food… I looked up to view the menu and noticed a simple yet intriguing selection of items. I ordered the chicken Florentine crepe and to my surprise, it was very light, extremely delicious and fulfilling. I had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners, Kytu, where we engaged in a great, friendly conversation. She definitely made me feel welcome along with the cozy atmosphere and heartwarming food. I noticed that they offer other selections and items, like ice cream & dessert-like crepes - should you have a sweet tooth craving! I’ll definitely be returning in the near future to sample other items on the menu. Yum!“

“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.“

“Food was very delicious-i had the chicken friand and yogurt parfait and they were really good. Would get again. The only thing was the cashier was definitely not interested in helping. She seemed really inattentive and like she was annoyed. Then someone in our party didn't get their eggs so when she asked for them and said she wanted nothing on them they brought them out with tomatoes which she's allergic to. So she had to get them again which the waiter was really nice about so that's good.“

Bourbon Street Cajun Cafe Cajun • $

“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“

“First watch is a great breakfast spot. Typically there is some kind of wait on the weekend due to the amount of people coming in. However there is a community table that allows for random people to sit together and that usually is pretty quick seating.Food is great and feels fresh. If you order coffee you get your own little pot, same with water.Service is fast and friendly it’s one of my go to spots in the area.Treat yourself and Get the million dollar bacon.“

“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!“
