Barnes & Noble is a huge, beautiful bookstore that feels like a magical place and a haven for book lovers. It offers a diverse selection of books, with a beautiful children's section, plus music, games, toys, and magazines. The store is very organized with plenty of selections for gifts and many discounted items. A coffee shop inside provides Starbucks Coffee purchases with loads of seating. This Starbucks is run by Barnes & Noble and offers a store discount for members, but it does not participate in the Starbucks rewards program. The staff is helpful, friendly, and well-informed, often offering to immediately order books not in stock. The atmosphere is inviting with cozy reading nooks, making it a peaceful and quiet place for a literary adventure.
Love, love, love this store! In the Aliso Center they have a Starbucks coffee shop in this book store. I love to pick up some magazines, books just to browse in them. I'm really enjoying to spend some time there. 😊

Liked this store! It feels pretty different compared to the Newport Beach and Irvine Spectrum locations. At those spots, you get more of a library or even a close-to-church vibe, whereas here, it feels closer to a buddy's place where you can just hang out and relax
