I went to the coffee shop in the store, they girls there were very sweet! They make a good very berry hibiscus.
If you all have a backroom or a basement area for the sake of your customers please put MYA in the back of the store where she has no interaction with the consumers that are paying or were going to potentially bring a great deal of revenue to the store. The time we are in there are to many options of where and who we allow to service our needs. Rudeness doesnt need to be tolerated by anyone,esp unprovoked bad attitude rudeness. With attitudes like her I completely see why brick and mortar stores are going under. So I am off to order 49 copies of the book I needed for my book club and we will enjoy at another Starbucks like every other yuppie, thanks MYA
Great selection, clean, friendly staff and a comfortable environment to work in if you need to use their wifi. This store is all could you ask for from a B&N. Enjoy!
Great book selection nice environment but some employees dont look as if they are happy to work there and they arnt helpful.
Been going here for too long. Clean nice and lots of books to read. Also they carry Legos if anyone wants to know
This is a local favorite. Its fun to browse through the books and magazines, to have a coffee and do some reading. The wifi is fast. The staff is super helpful and friendly.
Almost everything in Charlottesville is second rate! This B&N is not nearly as nice as the stores in Williamsburg and Richmond. Most every store in town is like this. Go to other places in VA and everything is so much better. Why is this?
Bad selections. Getting ready to go out? Staff is nice but knows littleB&n has been going down . Not like it was 3 or 4 yrs ago. I can no longer depend on getting what I want there.
ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE STORE ! I COULD SPEND HOURS IN HERE N I SPENT ALMOST A HUNDRED DOLLARS. I WOULD GO BROKE IF I WENT IN HERE VERY MUCH. THE LIBRARY BETTER HURRY UP AND OPEN BACK UP. I WANT PAY 30 DOLLARS FOR A BOOK. I HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE. THE CLERK HOWEVER WAS RUDE N HE WAS A MAN N WALKED OFF N DIDNT HELP ME. HAD TO GO LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP ME TO GET A BOOK ORDERED. BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.THANK YOU.
Was nice. High quality toilets, decent book selection, friendly staff.
They dont really get any new content that is good. Its all right for a bookstore but nothing special.
Great selection of almost any type of good book and Magazines......coffee and a book. They also have Starbucks for your convenience.....two thumbs and two toes up....
Associate was rude when I asked a question. She ignored me and acted like I wasnt there
? I dont know what I think about this place or the people that visit it? I went there because I had two little girls that had to use the bathroom. Might not ever go back?
Found what I wanted. Assistants are very niceNeed more than one person checking people out.
I like shopping at this B&N because the store in my local area is too hot to browse and shop comfortably. This store has a better temperature. The staff at this store are always professional and very helpful. I often have questions about specific books or about where to find a book. They will make sure to give you the assistance you need and with sincere smiles, too! I usually buy my books and if I get a cookie coupon, I will buy my yummy cookies before leaving.
Great selections, good atmosphere and good staff
Top quality items. Always pleasant staff ready to assist. Great store in Charlottesville.
Staff is always friendly and helpful. They just didnt have the small addition packs for cards against humanity, only the boxes.
Love this bookstore. Has lots of choices!
Very organized! I always know where I’m going and where the sales are... not to mention, the smell of coffee as you walk through the front door
Large and clean with plenty of parking to easily go in and out.
Always have been pleased with this Barnes & Noble location. Noticed on 7/31/2020 they had rearranged the store slightly which caught me off guard. But they always have a great selection and very full stock. For the most part staff is friendly and helpful.
Great location, great products, prices are too high though.
Never a bad experience.
Always amazing. Great books.
Very good social distancing! Friendly, helpful staff.
Nice place, good selection of books, great place to visit if u r looking for a books to read. I would refer them to go to when visiting from out of town and looking for a great book to read from a book store.🥰
I love a bookstore, all types! The staff is always helpful and friendly. They are open late which is great in this city that rolls up at 9 PM! The coffee shop is inconsistent in product and service. Still a great place to immerse yourself in new and classic books, media, and fun related surprises.
Clean, socially distant, not as good selection or prices as Amazon, but you knew that already. Its nice to touch a book and thumb through it before purchasing it, but the price issue... If you can afford to support brick and mortar, do so. For the rest of us, price is everything, and B&N fails there.
Good selection. Always fine what i need or where i can find it helpful staff.
I always am able to find exactly what I am looking for everytime I visit
Best place to set a spell.
Barnes and noble delivery is the best. They knock and share nice greetings when giving the delivery in your hands.
First time in a long time in a B&N store. Had fun browsing around finding books and stuff to buy using a gift certificate. Fantastic selection. Very best clean and organized. Helpful employees
Great book selection. I walked around most of the store. I checked out the childrens books the most. I looked at the non-book items too like the cards, card games, board games, figurines, etc. Everything in the store was organized. When I got there they were even having one of the story times with kids.They have a cafe in here too. If I had anything that I didnt care for it would of been there were not random places around the store to sit. This was not the biggest Barnes and Noble I have been into though. I went into one a few years ago and they had several chairs, over-sized ones too and they were super comfy to just hang out and chill. l love being in a bookstore so that would of been nice for this one.
Helpful customer service but limited stock of some items
Love this shopping center
I’m sure anyone knows what to expect at a Barnes and Noble. A good selection of books and a Starbucks, plus lots of gift items. It’s always hard to find help or to search for books, so unless you know exactly what you want and where it is (or are OK with just aimless browsing) you’ll be fine, but it would be nice to have a few more knowledgeable employees to help you find boom suggestions.
Had the books we were looking for.
Love this place. Always busy with a lively starbucks lobby. Not loud, but the conversations add to the atmosphere. Great service, wide range in prices, and great selection of books.
Did not find what I was looking for.
Found the Pokémon we were looking for!
Couldnt provide the service I needed
Love Charlottesville store. Staff is so nice.
Knowledgeable staff and check out always moves quickly. One star taken away due to the physical condition of some books- which look like they’ve been read and returned. Or damaged in transit. FYI if you’re gentle enough with a book you can return it within 30 days if unhappy.
Love Olin, and whatever crew he works with seem to have his beautiful personality. He is accommodating, but he also informed us of coming changes, recognizing that we are regulars at b&n. He is helpful, kind, and we just love hanging out at this b&n, especially when Olin is there! Great drinks, we ate lunch. . . Great food! Never rush you out. . . Eat, drink, read and relax!!! Your amongst friends!
Friendly and very helpful staff members. They are organized, and have nice environment, especially with Starbucks being there. Definitely a good place to do some work.
Great Urban Collection......Omar Tyree, Eric Jerome Dickey, Donald Goines
My safe place. I love the cafe and working there. The staff are super friendly and helpful. One of my favorite places to work. Like the ambiance and the crowd. The only problem with cafe is lack of electric outlets. Hope this will be addressed.
The cafe was dirty and cluttered.
Best B&N location short of Metro D.C. area in VA, but selection has fallen off a bit as has customer service. Good, but not as great as it was a few years ago.
Not as many books to select from
Will always love Barnes & Noble!
A bit crowded, honestly. My tolerance for crowds has gone way down.
Tons of books as youd expect but not enough variety for horror
Starbucks, at Barnes and Noble is a fun place for me to visit. I enjoy the variety of coffee drinks that are available and I also like a few of the things available to go with them such as the Rustic Apple Tart. The atmosphere is comfortable and it is a good place to read a few pages of a book to see if I want to purchase it or flip through a magazine I am considering. I love reading so this really is one of my favorite places
I always find what Im looking for and then some. I can spend hours here!
The only way to buy books, in the store. A place where you can feel and smell the knowledge, adventure, and creativity. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They also have regular little events that are great for all ages. A plus is the coffee and munchies they have available.
This is not about the store or books, I like the store, I go there periodically, I get coffee, I sometimes buy books. What bothered me was that I applied for a specific position at Barnes and Noble and the manager there decided that I would be a better fit for another position. I believe that was presumptuous of her to do that. I wanted the other job but when I had her on the phone, I did say that I applied for another job but I didnt have the guts to say, er.....,you had no right to decide what I can or cannot apply for, so now, I am telling you that. This is my livelihood we are talking about, I was not crazy about the job you offered me and I am pretty sure you were not going to hire me for it anyway from your conversation, woman, now I dont even get a chance to apply for the other job the way you gently said goodbye to me.
Wonderful book store with the added bonus of a Starbucks! The staff is very nice and this store has great parking. Also a nice place to find super gifts.
Good people who CARE work here. Just returned a book that was over 30 days out and they had no problem taking it back. I love their service!
Bustling bookstore in a convenient location. Great stock and variety of items from books to games to gifts. Love the calendars! Helpful staff.
I love this store! Recently, I was trying to find some books for my children, who are into young adult fiction, but I was having trouble finding the books (I was in the wrong section). A very helpful employee took me straight to it. She was very kind. This is the type of behavior I always witness there.I also love that they do the birthday club for my children. Barnes and Noble has been a big part of their love for reading.
Its great, yet Id like to see more books from certain authors which I read frequently.That said, Ive not explored a lot of other areas of the store, but the science and technology sections have lots that interest me at face value.
I love bookstores! Great way to look at best sellers as well as bargain books. Large well stocked store with friendly staff.
Always a friendly and helpful staff member around to help. Great selection of books and fast shipping on items out of stock. Cant beat the coffee and convenience of the other stores in the area. Usually come here for mental breaks. Definitely recommend this particular location.
I like getting books from here, this place has comfortable places to read at also.
The staff is very helpful and the cafe is usually very easy to get through Im in a wheelchair and I am always able to get around without any problems
Such a throwback to the olden days. I have to admit I have gone almost completely Kindle (never tried a Nook) but my daughter loves real books and we bring her here all the time. It will be a shame if B&N does not survive.
Very nice bookstore with a large selection and Starbucks inside. Prices are a little high, but cant fault them for that, gotta stay in business somehow. Employees were all very friendly and helpful when I wanted to find a specific book.
I love taking my son to Barnes & Nobels we always enjoy our me time there
Love going in an actual book store and browsing. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Fun place to shop.
Always helpful when I am looking for a difficult title the staff are willing to give advice on where I can get the title if they dont have it
Went to this store to spend some Christmas gift cards because I love books! Found a great selection of military history books and I started my pile, I then started looking for new titles along the wall, looking for something new about World War II, when an elderly lady almost pushed me over with a push cart. I assumed she was an employee. i got out of her way, and thought nothing of it. Then I noticed she kept getting close in my personal space to adjust books i was l considering. She was rude, and never said excuse me as she barged in front of me....Weird and uncomfortable feeling...She probably thought I was a Nazi because I had on a camouflaged ball cap with a VMI Army ROTC logo on it. I guess that was her pathetic attempt to show her passive-aggressive distaste for a college educated veteran who loves history. Whatever!!On the other end of the spectrum was the gentleman at the checkout counter. Thanks for your professionalism and courtesy; you saved B & N the loss of a loyal customer!! Good on you!!
Staff is very friendly and resourceful. Store is clean and well laid out. Plenty of cafe seating and outlets for electronics.
Kids love it there !I dont see any friendly workers there lol no they not mean they just (Im here again .... Cant wait to leave ) Im not blaming workers the pay is sucks
Comfortable. It is very nice to be able to to actually look at a physical book. Sale people are friendly and there however not under foot
I love Barnes and Noble, but last night, I was really put off by this bald guy who made the announcement that they were closing. He came on the loud speaker rushing everyone to get out of the store and ended it by it saying, And remember, we love you. Was extremely creepy and weird. Definitely not going back anytime soon.
It was a Barnes and Noble. Everything youve come to expect. Nice childrens area for the kids. Daughter had fun.
Clean Bathrooms!
Better prices online however if you need help this is the place to go. They will help you find any book. Very friendly!
Great place to pick up something new.
Went to various sections .. helpful, knowledgeable and courteous.
I love this Barnes and Noble! It has a fantastic selection, friendly staff, and a memorable cozy ambiance. I love it! !
I love this place. Its like a library. A great place to just escape the world inside of a book.
Always a great visit when you love books! Great layout, plenty of selections and a small coffee shop where the barista makes the best cinnamon Chai tea! The staff at Barnes and Noble are knowledgeable and very helpful!
It was a good experience not too crowded very helpful employees and a welcoming enviroment. I love comeing here on occasion to. Relax and get a coffee and im never dissapointed
Great book store but kind of pricey. The coffee is just okay for what Im used to.
Always find what i need
Nice place
My family loves going here. Every one is so friendly and willing to help. We can usually find everything were looking for.
Was looking for David No book series had trouble finding them. The man at the counter was very helpful. Shame all they carry is the hard cover. Not exactly what you want to give to a beginner reader a little costly.
What youd expect. Although customer service desk genuinely helpful
I went to pick up an online order. Very friendly and helpful staff. Also went to the cafe. Great service there as well.
Great selection of books, has a cafe that serves Starbucks drinks and Cheesecake Factory desserts. Lots of bargain priced books at this location!
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Books were organized and nothing seemed out of place. When asked the location of something, and Associate pointed me in the right direction and walked me over to it. Steller customer service.
