Always a nice place for coffee and studies. The store overall is great! Staff is available to assist and items on sale are a great buy.
Honestly... Its not my favorite Barnes & Noble. I really dont care for the layout. It doesnt feel like a high end store when I walk in. The fact that the debris from outside makes it all the way up the escalator and stays there on the floor backs up my feelings.
Plenty of parking since it is at Mall of GA.It is two stories, bargain books and best sellers/staff picks on the first floor. Clearance items (toys, stationary, books) and wide variety of books on the second floor. If you can think of it you can probably find it here!We found a Rick and Morty monopoly board game on clearance for $20!Lots of children books for your little ones to browse as well.We also stopped by the cafe on the second floor. Tried the new coconut banana cake and trix cookie.Coconut banana cake: not too sweet and a nice consistency on the banana cake. Would recommend!Trix cookie: we did ask for it to be warmed. The consistency was nice, slightly chewy. But way too sweet.
Friendly staff, good selection, and close to the mall so you are not far from everything. Something for everybody
Everything is mostly clean and organized. They have a decent selection of books and other media. Minus one star for prices. Honestly, I often hesitate going in simply because I know I can buy what I want online for much better price. Its a nice place to wander around and kill time, but thats about it.
My grandson treated me to a birthday bookstore date before lunch. It was amazzzzing. We both love books/bookstores and this Barnes and Noble was perfect. I hadnt been in one ever since the one near our old home in Marietta shut down. Loved the ability to lay my hands on books, loved the selections, loved the hand sanitizer placed around, loved the friendly vibe. And for my birthday my grandson had me choose a book. I love adding to my childrens books, so I chose a Halloween book. Fun experience!
I love this 2 floored bookstore. They have a great selection of collectibles and books; plus they have the only Starbucks still open in the area.
Up until now, we were ardent supporters of Barnes and Noble. Today was a terrible experience. We waited at the information desk for an extended period of time with no service or acknowledgment of our presence. An employee in a crop top (very unprofessional attire) walked by without interacting with us at all. She went straight to the checkout line to assist another employee with the backlog of customers. That is not the issue. The issue is that we were never spoken to and there was a line behind us as well. We ended up leaving without ever speaking to an employee, although they did glance our way several times, they never actually interacted with us. Sadly, I may have to stop shopping at Barnes and Noble if this is how their customer service is going to be.
Very helpful staff 👏🏽, I asked for help finding a book and the young lady walked me to the section. I really appreciated that.
They have a greater amount of selection. Attentive staff, which are helpful. It has a soothing atmosphere and its peaceful.
We left a book out for a second to go to the restroom. And there was this glasses wearing employee who was so rude about how we left the book out. No need to be so uptight about it. I get times are tough but that attitude isnt good for business especially for a dying industry. Take note managers of Barnes and Noble.
By far the biggest barns and noble Ive been too, 2 floors of pure joy totally worth it.
Gotta love a bookstore! Staff is always friendly and helpful.
A great store to find artifacts aka books in :-) large selection, great staff and great service
I went to Avia Nails next to Sophora.Let me just say this, Ive had my nails done for over 30 years and I believe Kara is definitely in the top 2 nail techs I had the pleasure of meeting this evening at the Mall of Georgia. Kara is an artist. A nail artist! Beautiful acrylic fills shaping my natural nail unbelievably quick. Finishing with Ferrari red and shine. Thank you Kara, see you in 2 weeks:)
Nice place to get anything for books, music, or hobbies. Love sitting in the Cafe to read.
Read more, and buy books... youll love doing it at Barnes and Noble. Great way to enjoy time alone, or bring the family. Love that they have a Starbucks for great coffee and snacks!
Always the best. I prefer to buy magazines there than online, so I can seat and relax for a while.
3⭐ for good selection but overpriced products & overpriced loyalty program. This is a pretty typical B&N. With 2 levels, this Mall of Georgia store is large for a B&N with a great selection of magazines & books & good selection of my geek stuff. As a SF-fantasy-comic book-gaming geek, I love their good selection of games, comics/manga, collectibles, books & such. I cant stand their full retail prices (or Blurays 50% off but still above Target/Walmart) & overpriced ($25 per year) loyalty/discount card (for the privilege of 10% off their overpriced merchandise). I visit & browse a few times a month but rarely buy.
Thank you Barnes and Noble for always being here every time I come to visit Buford! Great seeing new titles and the display tables with awesome selections for me. Their planners and calendars are the most colorful and inventive I’ve seen out of all the major bookstores. I also enjoy browsing through the nifty bookmarks. Stay gold.
The man who greeted me was very knowledgeable on the books that were currently on sale, helped me greatly to find a new book for a great price!
The environment in here is awesome.. very helpful staff.
Well organized, very clean & the customer service was very pleasant.
Good selection, knowledgeable staff. Seem a little short on hardcover classics, I guess no one reads those anymore.
Loved it!! Violet was awesome and helped me with figuring out what series of booi I have been trying to for over ten years. Amazing
Very clean and the staff are very helpful
My children like to go here. This place is well organized so that we can easily find the books we want. It has the second floor, so my children like it. I think they have fun going up and down :)
The grandkids love the layout and Starbucks inside the store.
Amazing store. There are two floors, the second one has lost of what you are looking for. I couldnt find the books or author I wanted sadly
They were having a sale! 🤑 Staff is super helpful though and available.
The store was organized well, and the staff was extremely helpful about finding and reserving a copy of a newly released book. They even gave me daily updates on the status of delivery. Who needs Amazon anyway?
As good & atmospheric as almost any Barnes & Noble youll find still standing in this day and age. Great layout. As always theyve got an in-house Starbucks which offers actually a fair bit of seating in its own right, with a bar-type setup back by the windows as well (with plentiful outlets)
Awesome place for book lovers
Really bad service, I asked for help finding a book and they ignored me.
I can always find the books in looking for and not to mention my discount
Service was friendly enough but they were out of bags and asked us to purchase a reusable one. Found that a tad distasteful.
Huge Barnes & Noble. I love these stores and this one is quite grand.
Daughter and I had a great time! Social distancing and masks were enforced. Purchased our books with no issues. Will be back soon!
I wish they had not moved the new releases from the bookcase when you walkin.
Staff is always helpful and friendly. Very clean, massive Barnes & Noble.
Good service, very large store and a good starbucks upstairs.
This is my go to bookstore. Love the selections and have been going their for years now.
Big store, not as big a selection though. Respectable staff makes for a higher star rating. The Mall of GA is awfully dead for a place as well publicized as it is. Went there around New Years one year and not a lot of foot traffic, using up the holiday gift cards and all.
Quiet friendly staff i always go here to study or just relax.
Nice place to visit. Quiet and a lot of childrens books and toys.
Always enjoy visiting this bookstore. I find everything Im looking.
One of the last full stock book store in area. Also albums and latest movies.
I have purchased a library from this store over 15 years. Not much has changed, including the reliable friendly guest services. Always willing to help you find what you need.
Staff was very helpful and friendly, the store was well kept and the selection was large.
Love all the books
This store is lovely. Ignore the reviewers who are mad about masks - almost every store requires it for safety reasons, get over it.The only issue with this location is the lack of seating. Its so popular that its hard to find a chair or couch to read in! Their cafe is always well maintained with very friendly staff, and books are usually organized exceptionally well.
Good selection of dvds, books etc. Wish had a little more recent dvd releases.
Loved the entire experience. Such a nice store .
I love books and walking into this business, there were books just everywhere!!
Great for shopping. Books.
Friendly helpful staff
Still like B&N. To bad brick and mortar stores with books are dying. This was one of my favorite hang out spots back in the day.
Friendly staff. Very clean.
Excellent Book Store. I enjoyed reading and the Starbucks located inside at second floor.
Ok probably easier to order online
For barnes and noble the mall of ga gets 5 stars. With covid all workers wear maks and professional. All employees helpful and friendly. Only one I go to
THIS PLACE IS LIKE A CRACKHOUSE IN A GOOD WAY BOOKS ARE AMAZINGalso never had their coffee but I assume it’s good
Always a joy to be surrounded by all those books!
Great book choices but what happened to all the sofas?
Theres nothing like a visit to B&N; elevate your mind, feel good about the knowledge you obtained and no one can take it away.
Great place to sit and read and plenty of books for both kids and adults.
The store itself it nice. Well laid out. Has everything youd want. But....the workers follow you around and stare at you. Definitely ruins the chill bookstore vibes.
Great place to spend an afternoon browsing.
This is my go to place to relax and get away from life! Clean bathrooms, and friendly staff. Would recommend
I had not ever been inside a 2 floor barns and noble, loved it
Friendly workers and quiet place to be in. They have a nice array of books and an in-store starbucks.
Love this place, will always love this place. We have to find away to save the books, everything cant be on a computer.
There is a very wide selection of books and its very easy to find what youre looking for the employees are also really nice!
This place is basically my second home. I love it! The staff is always so curious and I always find everything Im looking for sometime more lol
Warm and friendly customer service.
I liked that i called and the lady helped me. Showed up and the book was there wait . Lol
Very clean and staff was helpful
Great place to chill. The Barnes & Noble associates are so pleasent and always willing to help, but absolutely not the intrusive way. Everyone had there mask onand thats important to me given the current climate. If you shop at Barnes & Noble often, I reccommend there buyers rewards program. You get deals like crazy. Happy New Year!!! Happy shopping and stay safe.
Always a nice place to go for books, comics, manga, and different neat stuff. Service is adequate
Nice clean and actually had a lot of things and books I was interested in. Expensive tho lol.
The experience of coffee in a book store is highly underrated. So much so, I hope you dont read this review so I can can enjoy my time here reading and sipping on that black gold.
Clean, great staff, and very appealing and comfortable environment.
The service was top notch.
They still seem really paranoid. Shorter hours, and now you have to wear a mask to enter. Just a few days ago this was not the case. I walked in today and knew exactly which book I was intending to buy. Some guy stopped me and said everyone inside the store had to wear a mask, so I turned and exited the store, so I guess they lost that sale. Ill just purchase the book off Amazon. Grow some balls, management. Youre just hurting your own business at this point. Ive been a very loyal customer for many, many years. Not anymore.
Staff was good, face masks were worn. Hand sanitizer was out at the door, but we let them know.
Friendly staff, excellent selection. Clean and well stocked store.
Fair selections...high prices....sad theres no competition.
Books, videos, magazines and a nice coffee shop. Large selection including BBC programming that is difficult to find in the US. Also games and toys.
You can not make me wear a mask. And its harrassing to follow me and my daughter to the bathroom and wait for us to come out.
It seems that the store has changed in the last few months. The selection of books has less variety than when I was last there. If yoilooking for something beyond the current top sellers, go online.
Best selection
Quiet and clean
Wanted to check here before I bought an entire book series online.They were so very helpful with helping me find exactly what I needed. I wouldnt have known where to start. Carolyn and Stephanie were super sweet and helpful! Thanks so much again, ladies!! 😊
Quick trip shop if you know what you are buying before entering the store. I love the story shop. Very classy.
2 floors the place is quiet and they had good books
Barnes & Nobles is paradise for book lovers and people with bright minds. I have gone there many times and have enjoyed every visit of mine. I love how you can even sit there and read a book. All people who work there are so kind and the service is wonderful. I just want to say thank you to everyone who make Barnes & Nobles an amazing place.Thank You!!!♥️
Its always a dream walking in here.
