Ebar

I’m always impressed with a non-​Starbucks when I order a ‘black eye’ and they know what I’m talking about. The store is small though functional. They have a food ref where fruits, sandwiches, bread are kept in case you’re hungry. The staff are always courteous.

Nordstrom’s eBar, a coffee & tea café, is perfect for a quick pick-​up in the afternoon. They use loose leaf tea sachets, so fresh flavor releases into the hot water and gives you an unforgettable herbal smell. My hot mint tea took a while to cool down, so I think they must have poured boiled water in the cup. When placing my order, everyone assisted me in an energetic manner.
This Nordstrom eBar is much larger than what I have seen at other Nordstrom stores. They have at least a combined number of 10 patio tables and chairs in it and right across from it. If you get tired walking and shopping, this is a relaxing place to just sit down and sip a hot beverage. They also have complimentary local magazines and newspapers to read as well. They have Wi-​Fi if you need to check you device. I love the convenience of having a place to sit, drink, or read and take a pause from walking in North Park Center.

Whenever I am in the NorthPark mall, it’s almost impossible to get coffee from Starbuck’s due to the long line that’s always outside of their door. So, I’ve found another spot to get coffee a lot quicker, and it happens to taste just as good.
Their Nonfat Latte’s with just a half shot of sugar free vanilla are amazing! The flavor is semi-​sweet with a light roasted caramel flavor. I highly recommend the lattes!
The Pomegranate smoothie is also a refreshing treat if you’re looking for a non-​coffee option.
All in all, the location is great, right outside of Nordstrom, and is quite easy to get to.

Love getting cappuccino from here! Much better than any coffee shop around. Plus, the baristas are helpful and friendly.

Crappy service. Wanted to try the tropical green tea drink but they couldn’t give me a sample. I was also told that I wouldn’t like it without sugar… Ordered something else. No napkins and the counter was very, very wet. Next time it’s Starbucks.

I had the tropical iced tea and it was really good. Much better than lemonade iced tea from Starbucks. The service was also incredible with being both friendly and extremely helpful. I will definitely be back.

This spot is right near my work so I go here out of convenience more than anything.
The baristas are always friendly, but friendly doesn’t make up for bad drinks. The coffee and espresso always taste burnt or «off» in some way. I can handle the drinks being a little tough to swallow — caffeine is caffeine. Add a bit of sugar and it’ll do the job. What I can’t handle are the flies that are ALWAYS inside of the pastry case!
I’ve witnessed more baristas swatting at flies and trying to get them out of the case more times than I should. It is disgusting. I’ve never ordered anything other than coffee, and I would urge others to stay clear from any food here.

The staff who work at this location are just plain wonderful. So friendly, efficient, and informative. I usually get an iced coffee, which is always absolutely smooth and without a hint of bitterness. Like starbucks, they also have a little food section but the food they offer is way more delicious than anything you can get at starbucks. BBQ chicken salad, veggie cous cous, and crudite are among the favorites for me. If you’re in the mall but too sleepy to run the foodcourt gauntlet, this is a great quick place to grab something!

Great alternative to Starbucks. The shop is actually OUTSIDE the department store. So don’t waste your time trying to find it inside the store. You should take your time and get the tropical tea, it’s great!!!

There is a great selection of light food items such as salads and sandwiches from the upstairs Bistro N. The coffee beans are delicious.

The coffee is great and I love the chairs outside of the shop you can sit in and put your feet up. I like this spot :)
Great ice teas and many coffee choices!

Normally I love going to Nordstrom’s Ebar. the cappuccino is great and the pastries have never disappointed. And customer service at the Galleria location is always stellar, this was NOT the case at this location.
My boyfriend and I went here last night (coffee is a Tuesday evening ritual with us) and to say the service was less than perfect would be an understatement. I don’t know if the server was off in la-​la land or simply hard of hearing but she got almost nothing right. My bf placed his order and then I placed mine, to which she replied «Will you be having anything?». I repeated my order and asked her if she’d gotten my marble pound cake, to which she replied yes. We then paid the bill and seated ourselves while our order was being prepared. She brought out our pastries, or I should say my bf’s as she had failed to include mine in our order despite her confirmation that she had. This made it necessary for my bf to return to the counter and make a second transaction as she had failed to ring it up in the original order.
This was bad enough but when we saw people that had ordered after us getting their drinks and leaving after we had been sitting there for a considerable amount of time, my bf went to the counter once again to inquire about the status of our drinks. As it turns out the drinks had been prepared but had been left sitting behind the counter to get cold rather than being served to us. (No clue where the barrista was as she had disappeared into the back by this time without ever announcing that our drinks were ready).
If you want a good cappuccino and fresh, tasty pastries then this is a good place to go. Just don’t expect good customer service because ya won’t get it here.

The eBar is located on the first floor right outside of the store. You’ll find everything you’d expect at a coffee shop including pastries. I’m not sure where they get their beans, but I’d say they’re pretty much on par quality-​wise with Starbucks. I think their teas are the star of the show here. They have all different types of fruity varieties and they’re all really good! They also seem to be quicker than the Starbucks.
