“I haven’t visited in person yet, but I ordered books for Christmas, and love the selection. Native Books was nothing but helpful, and I got some amazing board books for my 1 year old nephew. Can’t wait for my next order!”
“I love getting lost in this place. It's a one of a kind bookstore featuring all things native Hawaiian. The atmosphere is so calm and welcoming, the staff is always so pleasant.”
“I stopped by the Barnes & Noble at Ala Moana Center and it remains one of the most comfortable places in the mall if you want to slow down and spend some time browsing books.
The store is spacious and well organized, with clearly arranged sections that make it easy to explore different genres. Walking through the aisles feels relaxed, and there is a wide selection of books ranging from best sellers and new releases to classics and specialty topics.
One thing that stood out to me is how the store still maintains the traditional bookstore experience even though it is located inside a busy shopping center. The layout encourages browsing, and it is easy to spend a good amount of time looking through titles and discovering books you were not originally planning to buy.
Another highlight is the range of non-book items available throughout the store. You will find journals, gifts, educational toys, and other reading-related merchandise, which adds variety to the experience.
The atmosphere is calm compared to many other areas of the mall, and the store tends to attract a mix of students, families, and casual readers looking for a quiet place to browse.
Overall, Barnes & Noble at Ala Moana Center is a great stop if you enjoy bookstores and want a comfortable place to explore books while spending time at the mall.”
“The place is small, but I love their book curation process! They provide statements on cards for some curated books. There's a room in the back for community events like workshops or classes. Located in central Kaimuki, you can easily find nearby coffee shops. The place is very accessible by bus, and the staff are humble and appreciative.”
“The staff is incredibly humble and accommodating. I didn't have enough coins to pay for my purchase, but they graciously let it slide. You can genuinely enjoy your time there without any interruptions from the staff. The selection of literature and language books is rare and captivating, making you want to buy them all.”
“Great selection, nice people, amazing prices. Also they have art for sale at very attractive costs. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is I bought a book here and went to the library and as I left the red alarm beeped and I was told that they had to search my bag. Embarassing that it seemed as if I was stealing books. The book was in fact one I had purchased here that was still checked out. I would hope they would check such things before sale.”
“This bookstore is exceptionally well-kept and clean with a well-stocked selection. It's the perfect place to go if you're looking for Sharks gear. Despite its size, this little college bookstore has just what you need.”
“This is our volleyball playing class of 2026's daughters fantasy school. We thought we would check out the campus and pick her up some volleyball tees.
I also bought two cokes and we got a free polar bear coke ornament/stuffy.”
“I was in the store today and saw these really cute Musubi turtle stuffed animals but I left the one I bought on the airplane. Does anyone know where I can buy them online?? Great store overall!”

“I love their gold leather lanyards with scripture on them. A bit pricey at $10 a lanyard but worth it. The thermos were handcrafted and they were "whew" around $47 or more. They sell rapidograph pens (to journal with). A lot of their inspirational motifs were nice.”
