Better than Amazon any day of the week. The only problem with this place, time disappears.

One of the last places I tried to find a guest sign in book for a memorial service! Should have been the first, had a perfect selection and was ready extremely quickly for same day pick up.

Great bookstore, Ill never forget inquiring about a job there on Sept. 11, 2001.

Had a great experience here today! Pete was super helpful in finding the books my friend & I were looking for and recommending others based on our interests. Thank you Pete!

It is a nice location, kind of tucked away. I would call it cozy. There seems to be a smaller than usual selection, but its also a smaller than usual location, and the staff are of course more than happy to order what you need. I think due to the size of the venue, they do not have a cafe at this location.

Great books and so many on sale 50% off or as little as $3.00

Love Barnes & Noble, . get.lots of books -love to read & love the coffee shop,,!

Always helpful staff. Fun place to find almost any book or book related item.

Great selection of books. A constant source of entertainment for all ages and interests. Needed assistance to find the book I wanted and the clerk ( Kim ? ) got it and brought it back to the counter in seconds. Thanks

Large selection of a well balanced variety. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and there recommendations scattered around the store are perfect. Wonderful area to shop in general.

I may be biased, but this Barnes and Noble is the most fun. Ask these booksellers for recommendations and they will bend over backwards to get a good book for you! If they don’t know, they’ll ask a bookseller who does. And if that doesn’t work...well they’re pretty resourceful. They’ll tell you how to find it.No, they don’t have a music section here, yes they can order it in for you. No, they don’t sell Pokémon cards/dice/ or “collectibles” at this location but if you’re on the hunt for a rare POP! Figure, it may be hidden here!

Could browser for hours in here. Always fun to find something new!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Best conversation with a ln employee since lockdown. Lovely people and good selection.

One of the smallest B&N stores Ive visited, but very cozy. Staff was friendly without being overbearing: I wasnt constantly asked if I needed help finding something- they asked once and left me to browse.

This location is one of the smaller Barnes & Noble book stores Ive visited, though each one holds to me a certain atmosphere similar to a library. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

The people here are very nice and I always find a book or three.

Little short in the manga section but its def a nice store

Helpful staff. Nice to be able visit in person

Great and helpful staff overall a Greta bookstore experience.

Always a reliably good way to spend time. Clean, organized, helpful. Fun books.

This is a perfect in between size Barnes & Noble. They dont have any place to hang out and read, they dont have a coffee shop, but they have a great load of books and other things. Parking is easy and usually nearby. The staff is always very helpful with finding things.

One word. Love. All the staff were helpful and so kind. They have so many guided journals!! I bought three! Such cozy vibes.

Good services very helpful with my needs.

Barnes and Nobles a classic bookstore chain. This one, nestled between Lake of the Isles and what used to be known as Lake Calhoun is an excellent example of a warm place to come and select a book or a game or even just brows greeting cards on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend stopping by even if you dont plan to buy anything. It is very relaxing not to mention one of Minneapolis premiere Bakery coffee shops is just steps away!

Great to browse and super staff!

Friendly and helpful staff

I love the Calhoun Village location it is the closest to me but I go because I like the whole store. The size is perfect a cozy feeling sale items are arranged so you cant miss them and the staff is great I have gone there for years and the sales folks are just the best. They are friendly knowledgeable kind have pointed out savings for me and they talk to me! The staff go out of their way to accommodate the customers and even told me I can bring my dog into the store. Its a wise decision because they are about 1-2 blocks from Lake Calhoun and folks have dogs and walk them. Also its a well to do area and the people that live there like to take their dogs everywhere I know I work at a pet clinic less than a mile away!

Great neat as a pin book store tucked in an inviting strip mall, ( where you dont have to strip.)Helpful staff, they have a nice selection.Inviting restaurants and useful shopping in the mall.

Needed a new Nook tablet. The person helping me explained the differences between the models (besides the prices) and what to expect. There was no pressure to go for the more expensive model. I was able to make my decision quickly. My experience was painless and hassle free.

Didnt have Yugioh cards 0 out of 10 I cringed

Good service and helpful with answering questions.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at this Barnes and noble! They were amazing this morning on black Friday, so helpful and welcoming! They deserve recognition for all their hard work and dedication. Above and beyond excellent customer service!!! I would give them a million stars if I could!

Support bookstores.

Pretty much just like every B&N. However, while I was looking at the Barnes & Noble Classics collection they have near the front of the store, one of the employees, seeing I had my 10 year old son with me, asked if wed be interested in childrens versions of the classics. I did not know they had this. He directed us, and my son found a few new tales to dig into. I wish Id caught the gentlemans name. Well, anyway. Super helpful and friendly store.

Meh. Smaller shop. Employees dont seem to thrilled to be there.

Either has what u want or can usually order it quickly. Always clean.... friendly staff

Great customer service, B & N member, large selection of books, always go in looking for one book I always walk out with more.

I really enjoy Barnes and Noble, but I dont need a million receipts, and to be asked EVERYTIME if I want to be a member and how much it would save me. Thats why I like automatic check out lanes

The book selection is pretty good. The staff is very helpful. They can order a book thats not in the store.

We always find what we need. Its fun to browse. This store, plus a stop for pastries at Rustica, located next door, makes for a great outting with the kids.

I have never felt so unwelcome in a stores before

A good selection of newer Sci Fi/ fantasy..and most importantly for me DOG friendly. Just off the Cedar lake walking trail and just across the parking lot from Chuck and Dons.Small rant... The Internet and Google are almost complete failures at identifying dog friendly establishments...either they have outdated or incorrect info..or so few businesses identified in my area as to be useless ( Im looking at you Bring Fido and Sidewalk Dog) or no info at all.One of the conveniences of the Internet is to quickly Google info like this without having to call ahead... For some reason Google and the Internet in general is mum on this. Businesses wont post and Google doesnt ask.

Great store associates better selection than most.

A very good bookstore, where you can find different kinds of books, from babies to elderly, from fiction to real stories, from peace to war. You can also find some toys (a little more expensive than other specialized stores) and gifts. The attendants are very nice to help you there.

A very small bookstore. Usually the barnes and noble I gonto is bigger

Excellent service they find me a book at last that a minute they tennager that help me too find me the book has good memory for find books

This is what I expect when shopping. There were two ladies here who were very helpful. Asking if we needed anything while always in a good mood.

I love this bookstore! They always have what I want, and items I didnt know I wanted, too. If I cant find something, the staff can find it for me. Or tell me right away that they dont have it. Amazing!

Consistent with other stores in the franchise. Store is clean and well organized. Cant complain.

A beautiful store. The staff was friendly and offered good recommendations for me to try out

Never seems to have books Im interested in reading. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but if I wanted to order a book, Id do it myself from Amazon and save 25-50%.Its no wonder brick-and-mortar bookstores are on their way out. If I never get another gift card, I cant imagine any reason Id visit again.

A smaller Barnes & Noble that Im used to, but the amazing and helpful staff make up for it.

I love B & N but this one simply lacks chairs. Others use their space for the customers and the Cahoun store maximizes product placement.

Found a book for my very hard to buy for father-in-law. Love it. Further, a gratis present wrapping. Gotta love it

The staff was helpful (looking for specific books) and the childrens area is so great.

Love that there were chairs to sit on and a large selection of books, toys, and games

This is not my favorite Barnes & Noble. Theres no Cafe and only a handful of chairs. Its also a very small store, so the selection of books is limited.

The employees are in your face, overly concerned or helpful?! Rude demeanor and didnt allow me to exchange holiday gifts. Complete BS. No tact, uncouth at best. Im a long time customer of B&N, however, will never go back to the Calhoun Village location.

Everyone is super helpful here, and if they dont have what you want they can get it for you. Online prices are comparable to Amazon.

They have a great selection of board games and puzzles too

Forget that idiot Bezos! I believe in book stores and Barnes & Noble rocks!!! Great selection and customer service. They will match thier Barnes & Noble Web sites prices while in the store

Friendly and helpful. Too long since Ive meandered through a bookstore. This is a good one.

Fabulous bookstore I can browse there for an hour or two

Had many books I never found online and service was fast.

This is a fantastic book store, great selection, fun to hang out, everyone’s always friendly here

Smalk print on star rating hope I clicked loved it 3216 lake Street mpls Extremely helpful might be because I have disabilities or people in multiple places are topically so much better than (most multiple disability services and government-forcing their way with no reasoning getting upset if when I topically ask questions!!!!!!)

They were very kind and had my order ready when I got there, the store was neat and enticing - I only wish I had more time.

Helpful staff, excellent selection

Cozy bookstore. Lovely staff. They have a great art section, but sometimes a little pricy.

Huge selection, beautiful atmosphere, helpful staff.

Huge selection, beautiful atmosphere, helpful staff.

Always a pleasant visit here. Staff is super friendly and willing to help!

Staff was friendly and was able to help us find what we were looking for and more.

Very clean..well organized..very friendly and helpful staff

Barnes and Noble rocks! Good selection. Sadly its a dying business. Viva la reading!

Great staff! Always helpful, good ideas on books to read!

The staff was incredibly helpful.

Always excellent service. Clean and delightful!

Nice they were open till 12 am dec 21-23.

Best place to shop if theres a book theres Barn @Noble.

Helpful staff, loads of books, and more affordable than I expected.

Best place to relax and enjoy a great cup of joe.

The people there are super friendly and knowledgeable.

Pretty small store, though they pack a lot of selection in the small footprint. No cafe and very few places to sit down.

Staff is helpful and the space is quiet and clean. Not a lot of places to sit and read, however.

The books are over priced. I cant believe it cost me 50 bucks for three childrens books. And the book club membership is a joke.

Staff was very helpful locating everything I was looking for.

Books! In a small intimate setting!

Great service! Staff was very engaging and helpful!

Not a huge selection of Manga, and there arent any Gundam models.

Found my Minnesota weather map. Well stocked and pleasant staff.

Always a treat to walk into B and N. Puzzles, Books, Games, Legos galore! Dont forget to get your B and N card for awesome savings!!

Nice and quiet place to browse after work.

Small, so a bit more limited in selection, but overall nice

Awesome book store! Great location

Smaller location than most, still a great selection

Good collection & reasonable prices.

This is a smaller location than the suburban Barnes and Nobles I am used to. But it is clean and well-lit.
