Nm Cafe

After years of wanting to try this place, I finally stopped in. I had the classic ginger peach tea, the popover with the most decadent strawberry butter, the delicious she crab soup, and the luxurious Seafood Louie salad. Next time, I’m getting a big bowl of the She crab soup. It’s THAT good!

Nice place to have a quick lunch or afternoon tea with friends when shopping! I love the ginger orange tea and the truffle fries!

Tea @ NM Cafe The Cafe itself is quaint, with a lovely brightly colored decór. The bright colors just make you feel happy! It wasn't overcrowded with people, because as I previously stated it's quaint and holds just enough people for you to feel comfortable, while dining. In addition to the tea menu, they also have an extensive, everyday lunch menu which has something for everyone. As we were being seated, the hostess asked if we would also like a lunch menu, we said yes, thinking that perhaps the tiered, savory and sweet tea bites, may not be very fulfilling. Let me just say, WE WERE WRONG! With the delicious and plentiful variety of both tiers, we were all STUFFED! My favorite savory of all was the cucumber sandwich, and my favorite sweet was the cheesecake. Perhaps my favorite thing of all was the popover and strawberry butter, it was simply delectable! Truly, all of the savories and sweets were very good. While dining, I also had the pleasure of trying two teas at the NM Cafe. The Dammann Frères Tisane Chamomile and the Dammann Frères Rooibos Citrus. I love Chamomile tea and drink it often at home, so I wanted to try the Dammann Frères brand, and it certainly did not disappoint! It was everything that a Chamomile tea should be, and I was particularly impressed with it's bright yellow appearance, as most Chamomile's are a bit lighter in color. Now, as it relates to the Dammann Frères Rooibos Citrus tea, I must say I was more than impressed! I've never been one to fancy citrus flavors, lemon, lime, orange, etc. However, as I sat and read over the cafe's tea menu, I was intrigued by the ingredients of this tea. So, I decided to try it and I'm delighted I did! The Dammann Frères Rooibos Citrus tea has notes of clementine, blood orange, lemon, and cola. It is also infused with South African Rooibos root. The Dammann Frères Rooibos Citrus tea was one of the most flavorful teas I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. It is my recommendation that you give it a try, too!

Had a good lunch and staff is super friendly. Food was great.

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the"Neiman-Marcus cookie." It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, and the waitress said with a small frown, "I’m afraid not, but you can buy the recipe." Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty-it’s a great deal!" I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my tab. Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-Marcus charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe-$250.00". That was outrageous! I called Neiman’s Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was "two fifty", which clearly does not mean "two hundred and fifty dollars" by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money because, according to them, "What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe. We absolutely will not refund your money at this point." I explained to the Accounting Department lady the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the state of Texas. I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney General’s office for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what you want. Don’t bother thinking of how you can get even, and don’t bother trying to get any of your money back." I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I’m going to have $250 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, "I wish you wouldn’t do this." I said, "Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you ripped me off!" and slammed down the phone. So here it is! Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid $250 for this, and I don’t want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make another penny off of this recipe! $250 Neiman Marcus Cookies * 2 cups butter * 24 oz. chocolate chips * 4 cups flour * 2 cups brown sugar * 2 tsp. soda * 1 tsp. salt * 2 cups sugar * 1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated) * 5 cups blended oatmeal * 4 eggs * 2 tsp. baking powder * 2 tsp. vanilla * 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar, and nuts. Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies. PLEASE READ THE RECIPE AND SEND IT TO EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN E-MAIL ADDRESS! THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC!! Even if the people on your e-mail list don’t eat sweets send it to them and ask them to pass it on. Let’s make sure we get these ladies $250.00 worth. Enjoy the cookies, they are good....
