Welcome to Marketplace Cafe, a hidden gem located in Nordstrom at 1200 Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, CA. As a food reviewer of Restaurant World, I had the pleasure of experiencing the delightful offerings at this New American cafe firsthand.

Marketplace Cafe not only offers delivery and takeout options but also provides a range of amenities such as reservations, wheelchair accessibility, and various payment methods including credit cards, Android Pay, and Apple Pay. With features like outdoor seating, a classy yet casual ambiance, and a moderate noise level, Marketplace Cafe is perfect for groups, families, and even lunch outings.

Customer reviews raved about the delicious food served at Marketplace Cafe. Favorites included the chicken meatball penne pasta, salmon dish, turkey club sandwich, and cilantro lime salad. The diverse menu caters to every taste bud, with options like burrata appetizers, margarita pizza, and mushroom ravioli.

What sets Marketplace Cafe apart is the excellent service and attention to detail. Customers were impressed by the prompt and friendly staff, as well as the beautiful presentation of each dish. The cafe's convenient location within Nordstrom makes it a perfect spot to dine while shopping or meet up with friends for a meal.

Personally, I found the atmosphere at Marketplace Cafe to be warm and inviting. The outdoor balcony area, though unfortunately rained out during my visit, provided a relaxing setting for dining. The menu variety and quality of ingredients showcased a commitment to serving fresh, tasty dishes.

In conclusion, Marketplace Cafe is more than just a restaurant in a store; it's a culinary experience worth savoring.

    Love the Nordstrom Marketplace Cafe. Their food always tastes so great! Favorite is the chicken meatball penne pasta. I wish I can have it all time. Serves are always pleasant. I literally always eat the marketplace in different states and I never had a disappointment. Glad they always good food and desserts.

    Beautiful large café with a Nordstrom. Well located. It's hard to even tell him in the store. Excellent service. One of the managers came up and assured us and reassured us. My friend ordered: The salmon Presentation was amazing. Order at the counter pay for it ahead of time and sit at the seats for service. They have a check down on us a couple times afterwards, even though it was a counter order area. My other friend ordered a coffee. It's just a really nice café to hang out with Darden chat. There's a lovely balcony area with plenty of seating as well. Unfortunately, it was raining. Otherwise, we would've been able to go out there easily. Highly recommend.

    I'm sure most of the people using Yelp don't remember when stores had restaurants in them. It used to be part of the experience. I can even remember when Kmart's had restaurants in them. So to say that the fact that Nordstrom's is still holding strong with the old school sit down restaurant is pretty nostalgic and a unique thing to do these days. The food was pretty good. Seemed slightly pre made but good. Its a great idea to have a café in a nice store. I was famished while shopping with my daughter and was very happy to come in and sit down to get a drink and a bite to eat. You order at the counter then find your seat. I would have loved to sit outside but it was pouring down rain. My daughter got the Turkey Club and I got a cup of Chicken and Rice soup. My daughter really liked her Turkey Club. The bacon was a bit too leathery for me but she didn't seem to mind. She got it with a side of home made chips. Which she loved. The soup was good. The rice was in a big ball on top of the cup. I don't eat carbs so I scooped it out and put it on the toast it came with. For the soup portion, it was pretty good. Service was prompt and the restaurant is very clean. We had a very nice little lunch to satiate ourselves after shopping for so long.

    I was really surprised how great this place was! It was actually in the Nordstroms, so if you're shopping you have a place to stop and eat. This is a place I would go even without shopping. It was a great place for a meeting or to go to lunch with friends! You order at the front, then a waiter comes to your table to serve you. The food was quick and super delicious! We had the burrata appetizer (this is a MUST have!) and the margarita pizza- both delicious! The service was friendly and efficient! It is attached to a mall so there is plenty of parking. They have booths and moveable chairs with tables. They have a large patio for outdoor dining. I would stop here again for sure!
