    I'm so happy this book store is still around. I love reading, and sometimes ordering off of Amazon just doesn't feel the same as browsing the isles of a book store until something catches your eye. There's also a ton of wonderful gift for children in the kids section.

    Desk clerk was a tad pushy for my taste, I finally bought the membership just so I could check out and get on with my day! As always, lovely fresh book smell. Two of my kids found exactly what they were looking for, they were quite satisfied with the prices and the availability.

    Eye candy and much more for the senses at this "more than a book store." From gifts and coffee, books, magazines, games, videos and music, this is a one stop shopping experience! Bathrooms are clean. Kid's section is awesome and hands on. Take a few hours off from the stress of the day and enjoy yourself here.

    We love this place, it's always a treat. The kids love spending time picking out the perfect book, we like to read a few and decide which was our favorite. They have a huge variety and everything is always so well displayed and stocked. Very helpful information desk as well. Cafe inside, music department, children zone, gift area, journals, games, magazines, maps, coloring books, flashcards, recipes, etc. Happy reading!

    You have been a part of this town for years and this place is still just as racist and uppity as when it first opened. STOP FOLLOWING ME AND MY SON WHILE IN YOUR STORE!! Black and brown people don't read?? What is wrong with your team and management?? I am a member here who has a serious book collection. Tonight I have had enough of the blatant and obvious racism. What a trashy place to judge CUSTOMERS and follow anyone for something as arbitrary as being black or mexican while they enjoy shopping as a family in your store. Why don't you hover over the parents whose kids are throwing books? Spilling water? Coughing everywhere with no manners? You even treat the two diversity hires your manager is required to hire with animosity refusing to give them praises along with the rest of your team. No imaginative displays for new books, the same wallpaper and carpet since opening, half broken restrooms, nonsensical organization and layout. This store is beyond basic so what happened to me and my son is even more infuriating- especially because my friends and I stopped coming here 10 years ago was for this exact reason. I just wanted my son to enjoy time in a bookstore. Were it not for the cafe and chairs I imagine this store would be desperate.

    I truly do love B&N, as an avid reader I always have. My only wish was that the fiction books were organized in any kind of way that makes sense. It seems to vary by store but is never as straightforward as by genre, then by author name. I'm assuming they want us to spend more time looking through things to find what we want so other titles catch your eye & you end up spending more money than you planned. & it works every time.

    Advertising a Lego model for $149.99 and asking for $179.99 at the checkout. Didn’t honor the advertising price because Lego is very strict in their pricing (according to the employee). This is a false advertisement and it totally can be avoided if you guys do better job in inventory process. I hope I would have different experience next time

    Rare sighting and a smell sight to see, a busy and full Barnes and Nobel. Great staff, great selection... and if they don't have it they'll send to store for you. How if strolling books, magazines, journals, and great gift ideas. Plus they have a coffee shop inside!

    We attended a Lego pumpkin building event and it was fantastic, especially for the older kids. My kids outgrown storytime so to have an event where the older kiddos can mingle while doing crafts is a great idea. Also, I discovered B&N have more than just books. Now I will buy gift cards for birthdays here!

    It has been ages since I was browsing through the store. It was somewhat bittersweet to be inside. The unique scent of so many books was rather pleasing. The major sad point was the observation that the music section was no longer in the area as I remember.

    My wife and I have been coming here for quite some time now. We enjoy reading and purchasing books there. Very clean and always good workers there to assist you. Keep up the good work Barnes & Noble.

    They promote and put witchcraft and new age books right in the front of their store and even right inside you enter they are displaying kid versions of tarot cards. These spiritual books aren't something you want to mess with and they are clearly promoting it. It's rather dangerous and encouraging people to get into spiritual practices. What happened to just recommending non-fiction or fiction books?

    I really love this store, the employees are unique and are always busy bees but they are happy to stop and help. They have spacious parking area, I greatly enjoy this store. Very poor Medical Section, but its huge, clean, well assorted, great deals and great finds, could spend hours in here. They also have a small coffee and snack area. I love Barnes and Noble.

    The lady that always seems to be making the Starbucks drinks at Barnes and Noble is pretty good at remembering your name. She seems really nice, and always makes my drinks the way I like it! I don't know her name, and I probably should, so she knows I'm grateful for her always being there.

    My grandson and I stopped in to by a magazine for each of our grandchildren. He helped to pick them out. I always enjoy my shopping experience here. The store is clean, well lit and the service is excellent. I can always find what I need.

    It's great to visit Barnes & Noble and be around real authentic traditional books. I rather prefer traditional books than digital. Also, this store was full of Christmas stuff, games, magazines, puzzles and other great stuff. I love it!!! We need to take advantage that stores or libraries like this exist on this digital era. It deserves a visit. Lots of fun 😊.

    Great bookstore to shop or chill at. Good layout in store to make it cozy and comfortable to shop through. They now have a toy store in the back too. Music, books and toys. And I suppose a Starbucks too.

    Nice, clean store with helpful employees. The selection is decent and you can check beforehand if they have something in stock but I prefer to wander and see if anything looks interesting. Almost always more expensive than somewhere online but I think it's worth it to have a store to walk around. There's also board games and some vinyl as well.

  • 5/5 Tamara A. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge selection of books. I love this store. Helpful staff too

  • 3/5 J. M. 1 year ago on Google
    I use to love coming here for all the books. Now, it's all about your money. Amazon is sadly way cheaper and I don't need to encounter angry workers.

  • 5/5 Bottle B. 2 years ago on Google
    Business was strong yesterday. I can always find classics and favorite authors in stock. Miss the vinyl section but that's just cause to visit another location, right? Lot of new authors/titles available.

  • 5/5 Kelly R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful atmosphere, great book selection and helpful associates. Plus the cafe is wonderful, delicious goodies and friendly staff. Going to Barnes and Noble can reset my whole day in a positive way!
