I like Barnes and Noble very much for creating a calm, peaceful environment to explore what nourishes your soul. However, sometimes it is not price competitive and there are cheaper options available online. The cafe inside of the store looks very nice and warm.
I love Barnes and Noble! It is a joy to look around explore the unique layout and collections for each location. The contemporary romance section is definitely something to sink your teeth into! There are several Laura Thalassa books, new and up and coming indie authors, and all the classics.
I love this location. It's a huge standalone building with so much space for all their sections and their cafe area is open and level with the rest of the floor. I like that about it. The employees were very nice and helpful, both to their customers and to each other. That's something that doesn't get called out often, with most reviewers only focusing on the interactions between employee and customer. Great job, guys.
I’m a frequent customer of this store. I enjoy browsing the store, there’s new items every week. My only complaint would be that there needs to be some different chairs in the cafe, they’ve been the same ever since it was opened 20-25 years ago. Would love a cafe with comfortable seating. And I miss the old days of 10-12 recliners or chairs being spread through the store so you could sit and read.
Friendly staff and organized stock. Happy to assist if you are looking for a specific item.
