Reviews for NM Cafe in Atlanta, GA
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 feelcomfortable, while dining. In addition to the tea menu, they also have an extensive, everyday lunch menu which has something foreveryone. As we were being seated, the hostess asked if we would also like a lunch menu, we said yes, thinking that perhaps thetiered, savory and sweet tea bites, may not be very fulfilling. Let me just say, WE WERE WRONG! With the delicious and plentifulvariety of both tiers, we were all STUFFED! My favorite savory of all was the cucumber sandwich, and my favorite sweet was thecheesecake. Perhaps my favorite thing of all was the popover and strawberry butter, it was simply delectable! Truly, all of thesavories and sweets were very good. While dining, I also had the pleasure of trying two teas at the NM Cafe. The Dammann FrèresTisane Chamomile and the Dammann Frères Rooibos Citrus. I love Chamomile tea and drink it often at home, so I wanted to try theDammann Frères brand, and it certainly did not disappoint! It was everything that a Chamomile tea should be, and I wasparticularly impressed with it's bright yellow appearance, as most Chamomile's are a bit lighter in color. Now, as it relates tothe 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 mostflavorful teas I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. It is my recommendation that you give it a try, too Read more
Let me start by saying that the Neiman Marcus Cafe Atlanta is a hidden gem. It's kind of that cool, hip place that you didn't... know existed. We are part of a ladies tea group and wanted to check out the new afternoon teatime at NM. I was delighted firstwith the colorful motif . You enter the doorway to this cheery spot ; colors are warm and inviting. Yes, mood is raised beforeyou even are seated. We were taken to our linen clad and cloth napkin table along with the individual Dammann tea pot. Myfavorite sandwich bites were the egg salad garnished with fresh dill and chicken salad on croissant. All were delicious butthese were tops for me. On the sweet tray I loved the NM chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake bites. Now to the teas. I triedtwo of them but will review the Breakfast tea. Dammann is masterful with their blends! Normally Breakfast tea is tried and true,simple and reliable. This blend shakes that up in a great way. It is a blend of Ceylon, Darjeeling and Assam. I didn't know thatblend was missing from my palate but now I know! Loved it and will be ordering it for sure. NM was a delightful afternoon withdelightful friends. We will be back. Read more
High Tea at NM Cafe is a delight! Priced reasonably at $35, we were pleased at the service and spread that we were provided.... They start you off with a popover with strawberry butter that is absolutely delicious. You are also provided with broth, tea andsavory and sweet treats on towers. I recommend adding on a bowl of she crab soup. The service was excellent. I took my 7 yearold daughter and she had a great time as well. I highly recommend this experience if you are in Buckhead.

My absolute favorite lunch spot whenever I am in the Lenox area. The She Crab soup is a must. It is decadence. Peaches & Cream... drink is a must. The popover bread and strawberry butter is a must. The chicken broth (palate prep) is a must. The whole darnmenu is a must! Read more
The place looks and feels just like a cafe at an airport food court . Ugly decor , indifferent staff and mediocre food .... Chicken salad was about as overcooked and dry as it comes . Popovers were about the only thing that are timeless and tasted good. The restaurant is buried in the basement and has never been anything special sense a redo years ago but now it just looks andfeels depressing . Read more
My wife and I dined at the NM Cafe yesterday for lunch. We arrived around 11:45 and while we were there about 5 other tables and... 3 counter customers were served. There were 2 waitpersons but service seemed a little slow. I think it was the kitchen not theservers. The popover served with honey butter was a nice free appetizer but the demitasse cup of broth seemed a little "off". Mywife's chicken salad sand on a croissant was very good. My hamburger was a disappointment because of the meat. It was properlycooked to medium but had some gristle that stuck in my teeth. I think a $17 burger deserves better beef-especially from NM.
