Havent been to a Barnes and Noble in about 10 years. The kids section was great. Went to get a book for share time at school. Lots of other things too. Picked up a Lego Advent calendar. Really nice set up and not crowded.

Barnes & Noble is my Disneyland because it has things I love. Book, music, movies, games, tarot cards, coffee shop and I can get lost in here for hours all by myself. You should check one out. Youll love it

This is, by far, the best B&N Ive been to. The staff is always super friendly and helpful making my shopping experience here extra enjoyable.There are always bargain deals to choose from and a vast selection of board/tabletop games. I make it here at least 2-3 times a month just to see whats new.

I was unable to find a book at another location yesterday and the customer service desk gladly located it for me.It was a bit of a drive, so I called yesterday just to double check so I wouldnt waste a trip. The lady who answered took the time to verify the book and even took it off the shelf and placed it at the checkout counter for me to pick up today.

Nice to be able to go and browse. Great selection of books for children all ages. Hopefully soon they can and will resume storybook time. The only reason I dont give 5 stars is that B&N have increased the selection of toys significantly, somewhat expected with the closing of Toys-R-Us, etc., but they price them high. Its hard to keep the little ones from wanting toys in place of books and their store layout makes it impossible for the kids to not see the toy section.

I really like the layout. It changed recently so it took me a second to find the manga section but other than that it was really nice. I found my book super easy, without even asking for help. As long as you know the genre of your book, youll easily find it.(Also there is a Starbucks but they dont take gift cards or take money from the app. Its only normal cards and cash.)

Love this place! The employees are constantly out searching for people to see if they need assistance. (Which I always do) One person in particular, I believe her name was Nicole, helped me look for a book that Ive been wanting to read to my kids. She made it here personal mission to find the book. As soon as I was ready to give up she made one last effort and was able to find it. I always have a great experience here.

Clean, organized, book shelves placed in a way to help social distancing...quiet as a church rat in there. Helpful register people. If youre hard of hearing, politely let them know, other wise your loud voice shatters the calm atmosphere.

Lets pretend our society is literate. Sorry fellas no shiny tv spectacle here oh wait all the books have been replaced with toys and picture books that are essentially coloring books for grown ups and WOW what a Bible section. If I was confused on who died for my sins, I can look no further than barns, they are truly remarkable

Re
Review №42

Smelled funny when we walked in. Dont know why. They do not let you walk around the store (I guess that would be indoor dining) with your food and beverage, they will not just give a cup of ice water. Store was clean and bathroom was clean and well maintained. Didnt interact with anyone but the woman at the cafe, who was quick and pleasant even though she wouldnt give us a complimentary ice water cup.

Theyve been remodeling moving everything around from the inside. The Starbucks is a nice touch in case you want to read something while youre inside or just do work. They have kept up with cleanliness and social distancing. Masks are required once you enter. We are doing renovations even on the outside lots of dust and dirt Ive been kicked around due to the high winds.

They are one of my favorite stores! Very clean and neat. Not crowded and well stocked. I always buy gifts orgift cards from them. AND they have a yummy bakery!! Everything is delicious!! At the Riverside store you can go to the bakery through a side door. It goes straight to the bakery. I bought everyone in my family a gift certificate for Christmas and I always buy my Christmas cards there. I always get compliments on them. They are iconic and classy.

If you dont mind waiting two or three weeks for a book, then go ahead and buy it from a used book source. But when I buy a book Im excited to read it and I want it as soon as possible. Barnes & Noble Galleria has many titles in their welm packed very large store. If they dont have it on the store, thry almost certainly will hsve it i in their warehousr. i just ordered two titles last week that were promised in 3 to 5 business days including the hard-to-find Three Weeks With My Brother

BEWARE: This place is run by EXTREME mask enforcement. These people do not help or care, unless your mask slips to the tip of your nose.🚨 🆘 🚨I hope Amazon treats B&N just like B&N treats their customers....and accept nothing less than full submission.

Labels on top of shelves made looking for a book i was interested in reading really useful and easy to find. Lots of books and board games even has a section in the back for movies which was different from last time I visited, and Starbucks on side. Peaceful environment like a library but cooler lol.

There are few enough bookstores anymore, but even when they were commonplace, this b&n stood out. In-shop dining and coffee, read as you, a great selection of books, music, games, and electronics, and reasonable prices. Its always clean, there is seldom a long wait, and the help are always friendly. A musty old bookstore, this is not.
