Cafe Nordstrom - Columbia

Tucked in the back of the second floor in Nordstroms inside the Columbia Mall. What a treasure of a cafe, I'm so happy to have stumbled across it. It's very casual, you order at the counter when you walk in and then you seat yourself anywhere. They have so many healthy options at a pretty decent price point. My waitress came by and scanned my receipt and brought out my food. The soup of the day was so good! Hominy, chicken, veggies, sliced raw radish on top and served with a giant cheese crouton. Delicious! I got a cup but would gladly get a bowl next time. The avocado toast was good as well but I will request no mayo next time. The very informative super nice waitress mentioned that they gladly take requests and that many items are available that are not on the menu such as French fries. I was also informed they welcome people to come in a work on their laptop while they eat. Super comfortable working environment, great soft benches and huge windows to look outside.

Great food and service is good for the most part. Wait staff tends to disappear when it's time to deliver desert. Ended up taking desert home. Need to work on that.

I stopped by to have lunch today and I didn’t know what to order , the manager Steve helped me decide and I got Bolognese Pasta , this comes with garlic bread and chicken meatballs, I would give this dish and this place more stars than 5 if I could, it was an amazing meal, I am sure I will be back soon.

I love this place. We love the food and the atmosphere.

We love to dine here while shopping. Great salads and sandwiches, and always great service. Highly recommend!
