If you enjoy books well this is the place to go! The world of Amazon has indeed limited the amount of time I come to the store considering I read most of my books on my kindle nowadays but I like to stop in ever once in awhile. They have any book you can imagine from fantasy to cook books and everything in between. If you are looking for a physical copy of a book they most likely have it. They also have collectibles and toys which is nice to browse but most of them are overpriced and cheaper online. The Starbucks is an added bonus. It is nice to grab a coffee and sit down with a good book or do some homework away from home. The staff is always very nice and helpful!
Always lovely to browse the books and gift items with a tea in my hand.The credit card rewards are the best!Blessed that we have one☺️
Best book store. Great selections
I love this store and could spend hours browsing. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The only negative is I always send too much, but that is on me.
Love culture love zoning out for 20 minutes thinking about the future the past the present or your favorite cyfi dream or Barnes & Noble is the place to go to they have all you could possibly imagine when it comes to book options.
Me and my sister love coming here. awesome vibes.
Looking for a new book. Found out it hadnt been released yet. Disapointed but service was fast and excellent.
Worst Barnes and noble I have ever been to. The selection of books sucks so bad. They dont even have a horror section. Would not recommend
Cringey woke books for kids as far as the eye can see in the children’s section. When I was a kid there were normal books about, you know, kids stuff. Not anymore. It’s all indoctrination into either victim hood or perpetual guilt for things you haven’t done. I won’t expose my kids to that
Needed a magazine I saw online. I called the B&N on May in OKC...not only could I barely hear the bookseller who answered the phone, but he seemed to not know what I was talking about and finally said that they didnt carry it. I then called the B&N in Norman...a pleasant person answered, was put on hold briefly to check to see if they had the magazine I was looking for, and said they had it. We went to purchase the magazine in Norman and the bookstore was tidy, well laid out, bright and inviting. Will be back!
With all the bookstore is disappearing… Very sad… I’m happy to say that this one is still thriving and supporting the community
This is a very inviting place. They have a wide selection of books stemming from fact and fiction, magazines, occult, romance, you name it they have it. It is Barnes and Noble after all. They also sell toys, music, activities, etc. They have a whole section of the store just for kids with a play area and a little stage for pretending. They have a Starbucks coffee in the middle of their store which serves up, well, whatever Starbucks has on their menu. They currently do not have seating outside of their children and Starbucks areas, so dont come looking to sit and read during Covid. Quiet, clean, and friendly staff.
I got a good deal on some books for my 2 year old here. It was in the bargain books. The Trix cookie from the bakery was yummy.Also if you are looking for some manga this place has alot ! I love how they display them as well. I can find out about new manga just by going here.
I love this place! the Starbucks cookies were amazing! I also got my favorite books there, Clean, Perfect place for relaxation!
I loved the smell on the inside and the selection on books is amazing. I would suggest this store to anyone looking for a book or trying to get into reading
I love Barnes & noble. Great book store. They have so much stuff for the whole family. Books, science kits, games, an amazing kids area, coffee shop.
Very nice B&N spot! Theyre clean and polite there. Found some titles Ive been looking for. Pretty quaint spot.
I go hear to get my manga, staff is always friendly and willing to backorder any books for you if need-be
Epic selection I found a lot of good things here but I was looking for this one manga and couldn’t find it but that’s ok, overall really no complaints
Ive been coming to this location for years. Always helpful staff, the store is clean and organized well. Really appreciate that they require masks.
Very nice assortment of books and merchandise and very friendly helpful courteous employees
Clean, lots of variety, everything has a place so its easy to find. Kinda magical in there if you love books/comics/magazines. Theres toys and cool knick knacks and such in there, will definitely love to visit more often!
Extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered an item online for store pickup and realized it was the wrong item when I got to the car. They searched and found it even though it was showing out of stock. It was a birthday present for my daughter that night and no one else had it in. I appreciate them so much!🤗💙💛
Still a good place to relax and grab some good books. I remember when this shopping area was still new and full of great shops and people. Now, however, the area is not as popular nor is it as nice. The B&N store doesnt even have a storefront sign, at least not that I could see. Its still a good little store but I do miss the way it was about 10 years ago.
It is wonderful. This is my husbands favorite place to get the most exclusives on certain collectible items and i love the book selection. All in all its the best!!!!
Really nice folkd
They dont sell charging cables for their Nook.
This branch of Barnes and Noble was great! The staff was very helpful and friendly. There was a great selection of books to choose from. Everything was clean and organized in a way that was easy to navigate through. 👍😁
I love browsing around in here. Its a very cozy atmosphere!
They have a great staff. And always stocked up.
This is about the only national bookstore left. Has all the best sellers plus a Starbucks. Whats not to love.
I found the books and magazines that I was looking for. The staff were helpful and friendly.
I know I wasnt here
Very friendly staff. They ordered the books I wanted.
Didn’t find any of what I was looking for to complete recent series releases, so I settled for even newer covers. The new layout of the bookshelves is confusing and cramped, which left me circling shelves multiple times to be sure that I didn’t miss what I was looking for.However, 50% off certain titles was going on so I did leave with a few books.
I usually enjoy going into Barnes and Noble but I will be avoiding them for awhile. I went in there the other day to get something from the Cafe and the lady rudely emphasized about the companies policies on masks. I was hungry and didnt have time to go anywhere else. Youre not supposed to argue with anyone on wearing a mask. Just take their order and let them be on their way! My trip turned from about 5 minutes to 10 or 15, cause she felt she needed to waist time on emphasizing that unneccesary information.
Called to place an order. Brittany was polite, professional and very helpful. It’s always a pleasure to deal with the personnel at the Norman, Ok store
Clean and employees were helpful
Worst customer service. Argued with me about how I needed to wear a mask, policy, yada yada yada, the whole time while looking up a book I needed. Just a quick reminder, every single mask Ive seen has non medical on package. Not only are mask 😷 a joke, your policy is a joke. Especially, since policy is only inforced on certain days and or certain times, as well as, certain locations.
Great place to get a tea or coffee, read a magazine and find a book!!!
Ive always loved Barnes and Noble. This particular location has a small true crime section compared to the location I grew up going to, but I was still able to find some good Horror Fiction books. Very nice staff.
Great bookstore with a huge selection, spaced out enough that you dont feel claustrophobic, and has a tasty little cafe. Definitely a must when in town!
Awesome variety of fiction books for teens
One of my favorite places to be. Well kept and organized store. Friendly staff, thay are always willing to help customers find whatever they are in search of.
Interviewed here one time, and both managers were very proud to let me know they were WALMART ALL STAR MANAGERS at their previous job. They proceeded to ask me a series of basic questions, then told me I was overdressed (I was wearing slacks and a button up.)This Barnes and noble does not care about books, they just care about hiring teenage help (mostly girls) who are too meek to complain and will accept instructions without talking back. Their books are overpriced compared to somewhere like half price books, and they mostly have notebooks and funko pops as opposed to books. Literally their only use is as a newsstand, because no one else sells magazines these days, and I’m sure they’ll stop soon enough
Nice place to browse and get a coffee!!
Went in 2 weeks ago and the adult fantasy was cut in half what is was a month ago.
This place is so cool! Took my daughter there to pick out her favorite manga. They had a giant selection.
Good verity. Clean, well kept
Love this place
Layouts wierd and the people arent the nicest but its a decent size and usually pretty clean and well kept
Great selection of books and more, but seriously overpriced products renders this store a waste of money compared to online shopping
Great place to browse for book and mags. Nice coffee and snack bar.
Amazing place to just relax and breath.
The store cleaned up a lot of its clutter.
Great friendly place to take kids
Staff is very helpful.
Got 2 REALLY good books!
Everyone here is so helpful. They never seem to be annoyed when you ask for help.
The crafts section was spartan. If you dont cook or knit. You were hard pressed to locate anything.
Hate that the hours are still cut back but otherwise nice book selection
A good bookstore/newsstand is becoming harder to find in this digital age, so thank God for the Barnes and Noble in south Norman! Ive been meaning to stop by during my trips to OKC and finally got the chance last Tuesday morning. There werent many customers but there were shoppers present for books and/or a coffee from the in-store cafe. Im always looking for magazines to inspire and inform in my crafting and cooking areas of interest but I never can find them. Sadly, all of the bookstores within an hours drive have closed their doors. I only found half of what I was looking for here but I am so happy for what they did have, and this made it worth all worth the effort. It was a pleasure just to be in a bookstore again. The minimal staff was pleasant and aroma of fresh espresso was icing on the cake as I left with my happy purchases, and I can promise many return visits in the months to come. 🙂
😷 masks requested at this time. But the atmosphere, the staff, and the selection are still superior! I added several new books to my library.
Loved it found stuff and books i wanted had to pay a bit more than on Amazon but at least it didnt get lost.
Clean store, helpful employees, had the books and magazines that I was looking for
I love this store. So many choices I never know where to start.
Ordered online, picked up in store. Super smooth and easy.
Ive just got back into reading, Im disabled and I have a lot of time on my hands. Im either coloring or reading or cleaning house. Lol This store is amazing! I just wish they had more seating out on the floor so you can relax and read part of the book your buying.
Very nice store with an AWESOME selection
I love the cafe at this Barnes and Noble. Helpful, friendly and great beverages! Sarah is the best
Ordered a book online for same day curb pick up. Their hours say they are up until 7 but there are cars out here still waiting, phones keep ringing unanswered. What great service you all have.
Pandemic response is excellent. I felt completely safe.
These days, it is easier to buy online. But I still love a good book store, and the selection here is nice.
Barnes and Noble never disappoints. Such an amazing book store with a wide selection and the scent of coffee wafting over you as you browse.
Really friendly staff and was able to help me find what I was looking for. Now its just the waiting game for the items that they didnt have at the time. But they have been good to me in that respect so far.
Wonderful place to pick up a unique gift or spend an hour or two browsing. Customer service was great. And the Starbucks was well stocked.
Great selection of books and games in a decent sized store. Much smaller store than I am used to seeing. They do have a Starbucks in the middle of the store. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of books on sale. I was able to find what I was looking for at a good price. They have a pretty good sized kids book section. Comfortable and quiet store. It was great to spend over an hour there.
The worker could not stop chit chatting long enough to help find a book
Look, I buy most of my books and such off Amazon like everyone else. However, Im still glad weve got a Barnes and Noble in Norman for when you just feel like walking through a bookstore and getting that book store feeling. There are plenty of great local bookstores around too, so check those out, but for a Barnes and Noble this place is clean, well organized, has great variety (including board games and such), and is usually staffed with very nice people.
Barnes and Noble seems to be struggling in the days of Amazon which is definitely taking over the book world. Amazon is able to be profitable at a much lower price on books than Brick and Mortar stores. That being said, Barnes and Noble is beginning to offer many B&N exclusive novels at very reasonable prices. Poe, Sherlock Holmes, and many other compiled editions that youll only find here. Great store for reference material as well!
Always loved Barnes. It is just my Happy Place. Was very grateful to the person who tried to help me with a title of a book which I didnt remember at all correctly. I spend an hour when I say I will only be a minute.
Love a book store. We were greeted quickly and the was always someone close to assist. There are several seating areas and a Starbucks located inside with more seating. The childrens area is welcoming for all ages. There are several areas for kids to kick back and enjoy. It smells heavenly and the atmosphere is calming and inviting.
I love Barnes & Noble they need to expand when they have the chance. I would love to shop there more often but with the closest locations being over an hours drive its just not possible. I recommend everyone to shop with them.
Love this place, great selection of books, the staff is helpful and the coffee is bomb! Great place to go get a great read, or even just to waste some time lounging and looking around
I picked up a book curbside in norman today....the person who brought my book wore no mask or gloves and did not put the book in a sack. he said he was no contact so he did not have to wear protection. i disagree with that statement...you should have more respect for your customers
Salsa is good but was a little on the spicy side. Overall food was good but service was unusually poor. I realize it was Saturday night and they were busy but we had to ask for silverware and then ask for napkins. Otherwise we usually have a very pleasant experience there
Very clean and organized. Nice people.
Great experience everyone is always helpful.
Very helpful staff.
It was very good food
