Nordstrom Ebar Artisan Coffee

For years when I visit my parents we have enjoyed and still enjoy going to nordstrom ebar for afternoon iced tea. Nordstrom also bakes all of their cookies and pasteries for the ebar in house. The ginger peach black iced tea is excellent. Nordstrom coffee bar also gives free refills.

If you are a coffee lover then this is great for you. Their double shot cappuccino is very good and hot. One drink is enough for a full day of energy.

Truly an awful experience. Got two basic iced lattes for me and my daughter. After I was handed my drink, it tasted like milk and sugar. (You can tell it was going to taste bad JUST from the light colored coffee) I asked the barista (a young dark haired male) to add an extra shot and he rolled his eyes like it was somehow my fault? Other people commented on the staffs nasty attitude, and I NOW see why. Nordstrom, do better and hire people that actually WANT and are ABLE to work. Seems like coffee making is a terribly difficult job for these emotional teenagers.

I stopped by Nordstrom Ebar Artisan Coffee expecting a good cup of coffee, and that’s exactly what I got. The coffee was fresh, well-made, and the staff was friendly and efficient. The service was quick, which is always appreciated when you’re shopping or just need a short break. Everything about the experience was pleasant and professional. The drinks were prepared correctly, the area was clean, and there was nothing to complain about. It’s a solid place to grab a coffee while you’re at the mall. That said, I can’t honestly say I had a “wow” moment. Nothing stood out as exceptional or memorable enough to make me go out of my way to return specifically for the coffee. It was good, reliable, and enjoyable, but not something that completely surprised me or raised the bar for coffee shops in the area. Overall, a good experience and a quality cup of coffee. If you’re nearby and need a caffeine break, it’s definitely worth stopping by.

E-Bar is a welcome change from Starbucks (which I also love) that occupies the end of Westfield Topanga right outside of Nordstrom, lots of seating adjacent to the Tesla store. They’re pretty friendly and they have decent drinks and nibbles. Sometimes seating is tight, especially on a weekend, despite having 12 tables, there’s always like 4-6 singletons taking up a table, drinking Starbucks.
