Very big and elegant 😀 book store 🏬 at Brunswick Square mall. Thousands of books, magazines, electronic reading items under one roof. They have a special section for junior readers. This section Barnes & Noble juniors is nicely decorated. They have books on almost every topic wellness, religion, sports, fiction, romance, rom-com, autobiographies, philosophy, murder mystery, science and space. Most of the leading authors have find their space here. You can take a book 📖 and sit and read here. They have some chairs and benches for it. Small Starbucks Cafe is present inside this store. See pics and videos for more details. Thanks 😊👍

Toddler parenting tip: On a rainy day, this B&N is the perfect location to take your toddlers. My son and I spent more than an hour perusing books, gently playing with the toys, sitting down and reading in the children's section. It was a great rainy day activity, and I picked up some great bedtime books for him as well.

Hated my experience here. The people who work here act as if they are doing you a favor when they answer a question. They follow people around as if they are going to steal. To the people who work there: Pretending to rearrange books and straighten piles next to people is very obvious that you think I am going to steal something. FYI I am a middle-aged woman maybe that is the new demographic for shoplifting? It was a very uncomfortable experience, and I will not be returning. The selection of books is just mediocre at best. Sucks, because I love buying books from a store rather than online, but I bought my books online.

A great collection of books! The store was quite well maintained as well! They had all genres and also the new releases. The store was quite clean too! Things you can buy here: Books (obviously!); accessories for reading like bookmarks, traditional ones and unconventional as well; calendars; selective games They also have an in-house Starbucks which makes it easier if you want to grab a coffee or read while having one!

I was very excited to come to this store. My friends and I went towards the music section and were looking forward to buying some albums. Everything was going well until a worker stood by us and proceeded to tell her coworker that things were missing and weren’t like that until we came. I became upset because I obviously heard them and i know we did not steal anything. I wasn’t sure if it was because we were people of color but it was disappointing. We each left with two albums that we in fact bought after practically getting kicked out the music section because they were looking over all the albums they assumed we “stole” something from.

I never write reviews but I am so very disappointed in this store. It used to be so good and nice and organized, but it’s gone down hill. A few months ago I was so excited to see a section in fiction books dedicated to Black Authors. I bought several books from that section, and thought it was a very nice way to highlight Black authors. I went in there yesterday to find out that the Black Authors section had been removed. A bookseller informed me that “it didn’t sell well and they didn’t see any differences in sales”. The bookseller also said that she wished the section was back. But to me, that’s messed up. Instead of highlighting POC authors, they care more about money and sales. I really enjoy the current romance section where they have selected Black authors and LGBTQ+ authors pulled out and signs indicating that those books are on separate shelves. I hope that doesn’t go away soon. Why not display marginalized groups to help them be known and more common??? I’ve had issues with the store manager, Liz, in the past. She is always very rude and has a nasty attitude. Some of the booksellers are angels and always are eager to help me. But if I only see her at customer service I won’t ask for help. I’ll look around for another bookseller in the store. One time at customer service, a bookseller was helping me and Liz made some kind of comment at the bookseller (I don’t remember what it was) and the bookseller’s face totally fell and I knew she felt uncomfortable and dejected. I asked this bookseller when she brought me to my book if Liz was in a bad mood or something and the bookseller wouldn’t answer my question, just brushed it off and laughed, but I could see her body language was uncomfortable and sad. Even the booksellers don’t like the store manager! I would rather spend the extra 20 minutes to go to the Barnes & Noble in Edison.

Nice store. Very clean. Some of the books were a little disorganized, but they just had a huge sale so I won't hold that against them. Sales associate was very pleasant and showed me right where I needed to go.

So nice to find a bookstore still open. Amazing selection of books, magazines, etc. We were able to find items that our grandkids will enjoy.

This Barnes and noble has such a welcoming environment. I was walking by with my children in the strollers. I did not have any intention of going inside, but just looking at the beautiful set up of books and other items they had available, intrigued me to go inside. They have a Starbucks with tables available. As a book lover, I loved how everything was organized and set up. They had best sellers and others on display that made me want to buy more. I am actually looking forward to going back alone, without my kids.

This is one of the best barns and nobles , that I have ever been to . Great staff and

I went to B&N in East Brunswick yesterday searching for magazines for my vision board. This was the first time I was at this specific location. I felt so uncomfortable because I was being followed by a “Karen” and a white male. I am a Black woman and have of course experienced being followed around a store. But that’s never been my experience in a Barnes and Noble. Needless to say I left without picking up any magazines. I’m now contemplating other options rather than Barnes and Noble.

it’s a good store, I’ve never had any problems. But I went to study for a big test I had, and there were no empty seats in the cafe so I sat in a corner, to study. I wasn’t bothering anyone, had my headphones in and doing my own thing. One of the workers- he was an older guy. He told me to get off the floor and that I could only be at the cafe(there were no seats) I just moved to another corner, even further from everyone and he just kept giving me a face. I don’t really know what his problem was, I’m 100% sure you’re able to sit on the floor, I saw so many other people doing so, I don’t know if he had a bad day, but he was only picking on me, I felt really unwelcomed.

Love this place. They need more of a setting area but the Starbucks drinks are very tasty. Their snacks are a delight to have and the employees are very sweet some days you get a grumpy one here or there but we’re all human. The books are well kept & organized. They always have the new releases which is great.

If you're a book lover looking for a cozy and inviting place to browse, read, and relax, then Barnes & Noble is the perfect spot. Located just besides Brunswick Square, this bookstore is cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating and plenty of natural light. In addition to books, they also offers a variety of other products, including music, movies, games, and toys. My daughter loves them. The cafe at Barnes & Noble is always busy. After all, in this day and age, those who purchase beverages inevitably outnumber those who acquire books.

I am disappointed. Me and my friends visited the area to eat but there was an hour wait time so we decided to stop by for some albums while waiting. When we got there this one girl/young lady asked us if we needed help, we said not at the moment because we weren’t sure which ones to buy from the selection. She left but every now and then would come to the area to look at us look at the albums. All we were doing is deciding which albums to buy, After deciding, I went to ask for help getting one of the newer ones behind the counter (since they weren’t on the shelf) and she gave them to us. When she looked around the shelf section, another worker came by and she proceeded to say “this one’s open- things are missing, it was not like this last time I was here and I was just here” proceeding to make it sound like we were the ones taking things, we were the only ones there so we felt uncomfortable by the way she kept making comments and went to pay for the albums we went for but obviously frustrated about the situation. Not sure if it’s because we were people of color that she assumed something but we payed for what we went for. Make of this what you may but it was a very upsetting situation.

Great bookstore. I am absolutely love the interior design of this place. The staff is always polite and helpful, they always helped me when I cant find the book I need. The store is quiet, and it is absolutely fantastic feeling when you can simply walk around choosing the new book.

Plenty of book, game educational selections Peaceful place to read there, or take it home. Plenty of parking and handicap ♿️ accessibility. I am going there again soon.

Books and Magazines are good as always. Bathrooms as usual are not maintained on a steady schedule. No toilet paper and no hand towels to was hands.

The best bookstore and staff in Middlesex County. Ample parking. Expensive coffee. Clean interior. Always a great over the top selection of books available. Just don't go close to closing time.

I hadn't been in a book store in a while. It was clean and well stocked. We found what we were looking for semi easily... not many people hanging out and reading. 0 kids in the children's area

Well the place did have some good ideas like local authors etc, but somehow felt that it lost its mojo. As a book liver I missed the old excitement that Barnes and Noble offered. But still a great place to visit, just ot the place it once was.

The past 3-4 times I've come in for specific new volumes (that the website lists as in stock and ready for pickup) I arrive only for it to not actually be in stock. Yes, I could place the order online for pickup, but then I can't use my membership for 10% off (the only reason to actually have it..) Very irritating.

The barista at the cafe was amazing and the selection is huge! Love the staff, so kind, and one of them asked for our pronouns. My favorite shopping experience!

Always good to visit a book store. Sad that few others do. Store has been completely rearranged since my last visit. Disappointed to see the CD area turned into discount books. I was still able to find a few books to pick up. Happy about that.

Nice, quiet bookstore to hang out at! The bookstore workers have even went into storage to find a book for me once. Definitely reccomend if you need a place to pass the time, as they also have a equally quiet small coffee shop.

Nice outing for the children. The store was clean! However, no seating for those with disabilities in the children's area. Also, the prices of books starting at $19.99 is insane!! Probably one of the last time I'll bring my children to an actual bookstore. Smh.
