Barnes & Noble

ANY bookstore is ALWAYS a 5 star review from me. But really though. Everyone (the employees)is very nice, good with kids, and extremely helpful. The environment is so laid back. There are chairs strategically spaced out for everyone to be able to read a bit before buying. The Starbucks in there is very clean and their employees are kind as well. Just a nice place to browse. But beware the prices are ridiculously high for certain items. (They're very proud of their books.) If you look on Amazon you can find the majority of books for $5 to $10 cheaper. Personally, I like to look at the condition of the books before buying so I prefer going to the store.

If I picture heaven - this is it! Nick in the cashier and Sinisa in Café has the excellent customer service. If y'all need help, just look for them ❤️

What's not to like about B&N? Clean store, kazillion books on any category one could think of, for all ages, coffee, imagination-stretching games, bookmarks, hard or paperbacks, & music selections! Whoohoo!

Where’s the six star button? The amount of books and space here is to be commended. The coffee shop area has plenty of desk space for working and the drinks were refreshing.

If you’re reading this… I’m still inside Barnes & Noble. I came in for one book and now it’s three hours later, I’ve added 4,000 steps to my day, and I’m carrying five novels, a candle I sniffed once and fell in love with, a tote bag I didn’t need, and a journal I’ll definitely forget to write in. This place is a maze of comfort, curiosity, and quiet ambition. One shelf leads to the next, and suddenly I’m deep in the cooking section wondering if I should become a bread expert. The staff? Super helpful—even when I pretended I totally knew where the poetry section was. Five stars for the only store where getting lost improves your fitness tracker and has coffee. If anyone needs me, I’m near the fantasy section, arguing with myself over whether I need another book about hobbits. (I do.)
