    Princess Polly & the  garment bag

    Nordstrom Brea -- this is what exceptional customer service looks like. What started as a concern became one of the best Nordstrom experiences I've had. I came in to pick up my daughter's homecoming dress from a mobile order. It was her first homecoming, so this dress was incredibly special to me. When it was handed to me in a simple plastic bag rather than a Nordstrom shopping or garment bag, I was disappointed. Nordstrom has always represented elevated service and presentation to me, and this didn't feel like the experience I expected for such a special dress. I asked to speak with a manager--not to complain, but because I genuinely wanted to understand. Tara was phenomenal. She was warm, patient, attentive, and gracious. She looked at the order, explained the process, and suddenly everything made sense. More importantly, she understood why this moment mattered to me as a mom. She offered to have my daughter's dress pressed and placed in a garment bag, and it came back absolutely beautiful. Here's the part Tara probably doesn't realize mattered so much: my daughter had NO idea I was picking up her dress. When she came home and saw it beautifully pressed in a Nordstrom garment bag, her face lit up. She felt special, grown-up, and "expensive." She was basically like, "OMG, my gown came in a Nordstrom garment bag!" That presentation elevated the dress, her excitement, and the entire experience of her first homecoming. I realized it was never really about a bag--it was about the moment attached to it. Tara understood that without ever meeting my daughter. She could have simply explained the process and sent me on my way. Instead, she turned a disappointment into a memory. She made me feel heard and welcomed rather than dismissed. THAT is hospitality and the kind of customer care that makes Nordstrom feel like Nordstrom. Tara is truly top-tier management. I also have to recognize Kimberly, whom we met near the café while trying to find a manager. What a gem! She had the biggest smile and was patient, polished, and genuinely engaging. While we waited, she talked with my mom and me about colors--what complements us and brings out our features. It wasn't a sales pitch; it was someone genuinely connecting with customers. She even had me thinking about how to accessorize my daughter's dress. Kimberly is exactly the kind of associate you remember. Then our "quick trip" downstairs turned into another wonderful experience at the Dolce & Gabbana beauty counter. Marlene was incredible. I mentioned another D&G fragrance I loved, and she went out of her way to find it. She provided samples, answered my questions, and gave me a little glam session that ultimately resulted in me purchasing makeup AND the perfume! Her energy is contagious--spunky, happy, passionate, and genuinely excited about what she does. The other D&G artist helping my mom was just as wonderful. My mom isn't always the easiest person to convince to step outside her comfort zone, but she chose and applied shades for her and found one of the BEST lip colors I've ever seen on my mom. She looked beautiful! The entire team was so patient, knowledgeable, and fun that our plan to hurry and beat traffic went completely out the window. Lindsay, if you're reading this, please buy your Dolce & Gabbana ladies a coffee or treat them to something--they earned it! I also met Girlie, another wonderful manager. Our café experience was just as lovely--great staff, great lunch, and of course the famous Nordstrom tomato soup with those non-negotiable crostinis. Absolutely delicious. My family has shopped at Nordstrom for generations. My mom has been a customer for decades, and I've visited many Nordstrom locations throughout California. There is a level of service I associate with the Nordstrom name, and Brea reminded me exactly why I've always loved this store. What impressed me most wasn't that everything started perfectly--it didn't. It was how the team handled it. They listened, cared, and connected with us. They turned what could have been a disappointing pickup into an afternoon my mom and I genuinely enjoyed and made my daughter's first homecoming even more special. Tara, Kimberly, Marlene, Girlie, the Dolce & Gabbana team, the café staff, and everyone who helped us deserve recognition. Tara, whatever you're doing with your team, keep doing it. Nordstrom Brea has officially become my favorite Nordstrom location. 10/10.

    Extremely Disappointed with Curbside Pickup Service I've been a loyal Nordstrom customer since 2016 and have used curbside pickup since it first launched--so I know how it's supposed to work. This time, I waited 20 minutes in the designated stall before noticing another car pull up next to me and receive their order within 5 minutes. When I asked for help, an associate named Karly (I think that was her name) told me they "didn't get an alert" from me. She even had the audacity to question whether I entered a stall number when checking in--yes, I did, just like I always do. The app clearly said "Justine is getting your order." Karly offered to help and said she'd check on it. I waited another 5+ minutes, only to get a call from her saying the shoes I ordered were damaged and that she had to go downstairs to find a new pair. By this time, I had already waited a total of 30 minutes, was livid, and now running late for my family's dinner. Nordstrom Brea used to be my go-to location, especially because of their awesome customer service--but after this experience, they've lost me as a customer. This was disappointing, frustrating, and completely avoidable.

    My recent visits to Nordstrom left me quite disappointed with the level of customer service, particularly in two different departments. This review is specific to customer service at the Brea Mall location. On May 17, 2025, I stopped by the Byredo counter hoping to purchase a lotion. The male associate informed me they were out of stock and needed to reorder. Since I was already there, I tried a perfume and sprayed it on a testing strip, he bluntly told me, "Could you spray away from the counter, because it gets sticky here". This felt incredibly rude and unwelcoming, and I simply walked away without saying anything further. From my experience, I've noticed a pattern in the Handbag Department that shows unfair distinction. On two separate occasions, when I was wearing a more visibly "signature" handbag, sales associates would either immediately compliment my purse or approach me, being overly attentive. In contrast, when I'm not carrying a high-end bag or dressed in more casual attire, no one even bothered to ask if I need help. This inconsistency in service based on a customer's appearance or style is very disappointing and frankly, quite off-putting for a store like Nordstrom. I believe that everyone should get a consistent standard of courteous and helpful service irrespective of what they are wearing.

    Usually I love Nordstrom but this location wasn't as appealing as South Coast. It was missing the nordies it factor. Even the ebar was mediocre.

    Avoid The Black Tux at the Brea Nordstrom -- terrible experience. The Black Tux location inside Nordstrom Brea is a joke. Nordstrom should either require them to have regular, reliable employees or remove them from the store altogether. I've heard great things about The Black Tux, but my experience was awful. The Brea "location" isn't even a real store -- it's just a few random chairs in the middle of a Nordstrom. I had a confirmed appointment for Sunday at 1 PM, but no one ever showed up. The day before, the same thing happened to another member of my wedding party. They warned me to call and confirm because their appointment had been randomly canceled. Unfortunately, the only way to reach anyone is through the corporate number, which means sitting on hold forever and still getting no real help. When I spoke with a Nordstrom sales associate, they said this happens often and that The Black Tux employees come and go whenever they want. He even apologized and recommended going with a different suit company. After being on hold with corporate for over an hour, they finally said someone might show up around 2:30 PM -- but they wouldn't be able to help me that day. It's completely unprofessional for a company that markets itself as a "luxury" suit rental service to have no dedicated staff or real storefront. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually values their customers and their time. Tip: If you still plan to try them, call and confirm multiple times before going in -- they clearly don't value customers' time or commitments.

The staff was always so friendly, and I always had a great experience. I moved farther away a while ago, so I hadn't purchased from them in some time. When I recently checked out their website, I was impressed by how much they had to offer online. My order shipped quickly, the quality was exactly what I remembered, and what really stood out was their incredible customer service. I ordered a size that ended up being too small because it was the only size available online at the time. I was hoping it would work, but unfortunately it didn't. I emailed their customer service explaining the situation and noticed the larger size wasn't available online, but it was showing as available at one of their store locations. Their team went above and beyond. They were able to transfer that size so it could be purchased online, making the exchange process incredibly easy. Once I returned the original item, I received a full refund, including my shipping costs. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. Stitch & Feather truly went above and beyond, and it's one of the many reasons I'll continue to support them. A1 customer service--I can't recommend them enough!

It's not exactly like those stores, but inspired by. So if you are into that Boho chic style, then this is your place. Selection was slowly transitioning into fall season clothing if not already 100% in the season. I really came in to look at the accessories and to just see what this place all about. Good selection of clothing, shoes, accessories and a space of home accessories- mostly kitchen accessories, candles and cookbooks. I bought nested measuring cups that are hand painted. A less expensive price tag than its inspired stores. Going to stop in at their other locations to check how much more inventory is available. Parking on the street or public lots.

Keith immediately jumped in to help, bringing me multiple styles and sizes to try on. He was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to talk to. Because of his friendly approach, I felt comfortable trying on items I normally wouldn't have considered. With Keith's help, I ended up building a beautiful summer vacation capsule wardrobe. I also found out both a teacher and healthcare professional, I qualified for an additional 15% discount, which I greatly appreciated. The best part is that this shopping trip inspired me to go home and completely clean out my closet. I donated four large bags of clothing and, with just a few carefully selected pieces from J.Crew Factory (and a few items from Nordstrom Rack and some from my closet), I was able to create 42 summer outfits from only 7 tops and 6 bottoms! Keith's customer service went far beyond helping me find a pair of pants. He made the shopping experience enjoyable, helped me discover a new favorite store, and gave me the confidence to build a wardrobe that truly works for me.

This brand always gives me major '90s throwback vibes, which I appreciate. The store itself is very clean, items well stocked and well-organized, with plenty of space to browse. There were only a couple other customers inside. That said, the staff were chit-chatting and didn't seem particularly engaged to acknowledge you as you walk by which put a bit of a damper on the experience. (FYI - I like to be left alone when I'm browsing, but a courtesy hello would be nice when you come in). I wandered around for a while but didn't find anything that stood out enough to buy --- the sale wasn't a wow-factor...even with 60% off clearance. Overall, it's nice to have this store here, but my visit felt a little underwhelming. Maybe need to try again for Black Friday!
