    Awesome book store! First-time visiting, here you can find all kinds of books and, of course, their signature Starbucks inside to enjoy a good coffee while reading a good. Very quiet and relaxing place, to enjoy a good me time or with a special someone if you like to read.

    I love this store. Tons of great books. Also have tons of toys and games. One downside is lots of pride stuff that is a bad influence for kids. Big selection of pokemon.

    Great experience here recently all the staff was very friendly and approachable. Big two-story location with the Starbucks inside it, and a great selection of products.

    Great place to looks for new reads! Very nice store inside and friendly employees. My only gripe is that the books are by no means cheap. However, I can’t fault the business as it’s certainly not cheap to maintain such a nice store. I’m just a tad tight and used to shopping at half priced books! Overall, great experience. If you’ve been to a Barnes and Noble before this experience is likely similar, as the stores are most always well put together and quality.

    Generally decent. Typical B&N bookstore. However, I was quite disappointed in the abhorrent staff responsible for getting things set up for the Andrew Holleran event. I do not understand how, ten minutes after the event was to begin staff was scurrying around to find chairs for those in attendance as well as for Mr. Holleran himself! Further the sound system sitting on the floor had clearly not been tested prior to the event and no staff present knew how to turn it on much less get it to a functional state. Hence The author had to yell his responses in order to be heard. Very disappointing to say the very least!

    Well I love my independent booksellers once in a while. You really need a superstore and that's when Barnes& Noble really rises to the top. The magazine section alone is the biggest I've ever seen outside of New York City. It's huge they have everything. They also have an enormous inventory of bestsellers current and past in every category. In addition, they have discounted and remainder books like coffee table, photo editions and cookbooks and specialty titles that are really useful if you're looking for a gift. And of course there's a decent cafe serving cappuccino and cold drinks and baked goods.

    I really love this location they let a Young author Hank sylver come in and celebrate his book and people bought his book it was his first novel that he wrote which is very great and I'm so glad that they were very understanding the people that were polite and did everything they could to accommodate him and make sure that he was comfortable and I found that very great okay. And he also has another showing at another Barnes & Noble next month please feel free to look him up

    Absolutely terrible experience! The employees were extremely rude to my daughter who was there studying with friends. They were told several times to leave and that they weren’t allowed to study there. One employee yelled at the group saying their presence was “completely unacceptable”. The employees started taking the chairs away and one employee actually snatched the chair out of my daughters hand. Completely disgusted with the treatment my daughter and her friends received at this location.

    Double story building with a good selection of books, and a decent coffee shop. I stopped by today to study and was pleased with the good service from the barista.

    Excellent customer service to help me find a specific book. Clean fresh and inviting. Loved the atmosphere and selection of books.

    Really awesome place to get away and catch up on reading. I forgot how much I liked holding real books in my hand. We also had a lot of fun at the book signing where we met the founder of Reebok.

    Always a pleasure going here. Staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Didn't know Kumon workbooks were for sale. Multi level for all ages!

    I love this store and visit often, but today an older woman with black hair who's an employee here told my kids "you aren't in a playground" when they were literally close to me not touching anything or making any noise just grabbing each other. She was helping a customer find a book near me I guess just their presence bothered her? My kids went from happy to being embarrassed! I didnt say anything because there was another person with her but if it happens again she will definitely get a piece of my mind. If my kids arent disrupting anything, or touching anything or being loud why is it a problem if they're being goofy grabbing each other?

    Barnes & Noble is a haven for book lovers, offering an exceptional experience. With a vast selection of books, cozy ambiance, knowledgeable staff, and engaging events, it caters to the needs of bibliophiles. The store's organization makes it easy to navigate, and the comfortable seating areas create a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and well-informed, always ready to assist customers. Barnes & Noble's commitment to community is evident through its author signings, book clubs, and literary events. While pricing can sometimes be slightly higher, the benefits outweigh this minor drawback. Overall, Barnes & Noble is highly recommended for anyone who loves reading and wants to immerse themselves in a world of literature.

    Amazing experience doing the "Pieces of Jamaica: Jamrock Edition" book signing at Barnes and Noble Fort Lauderdale. Not only was the staff welcoming, gracious and friendly but all their stock of my book sold out due to the great turnout of purchasers. A really awesome event for an author. I've promised to go back and do this again in 2023.

    I always loved Barnes and nobles, especially in Times Square where you can just hang out for hours. It’s not completely the same, but you can still sit in the cafe and enjoy a coffee and some favorite reads. Went to find some classic children’s books for our short term rentals and was disappointed that they didn’t have any of the Munchwerks series in stock. They were friendly and offered to order them. Did, however, find some great stationary and a few classic toys in the children’s section upstairs.

    Nice location. Needs a place for wifi hook up in the Starbucks themed cafe. Star bucks has table and seats you can plug you laptop up . Some even have conference rooms.

  • 3/5 Alejandra Aboud K. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this location a lot but during my last visit, the coffee shop was run by only one person (charge, prepare, serve). I also reached out to him to inform there was a plastic bag with a backpack on the bathroom floor and he barely paid attention to me. It is a good place to get a coffee and grab the latest books.

    Cute store. Toy section is great. They have Saturday story time. The magazine is always a good time. The section near checkout always has great gift ideas. If you make an account you get discounts. We can’t leave without buying legos
