Book Stores in Metairie, LA

“This is by far the best B&N I've been to. In fact, I've been a regular since 2012. What makes this location so special is the layout and atmosphere. This location is two stories, but the second story only occupies the back half of the store. This means that the first half of the first floor has soaring ceilings which make the space feel much brighter. A portion of the ceiling is covered in skylights, which makes the space feel even brighter.

A railing runs along the edge of the second story, providing an excellent view should one stand there and gaze out on the first floor. As far as book placement, I feel the layout is perfect. The magazine section is at the front along the windows, making this the perfect spot to browse magazines next to the bright windows.

The cafe has been redone within the last year or so, giving it a cozy, updated feel. All in all, an excellent store, and I think this is the best one in the entire country.”

“Extraordinary peaceful place to shop for cards & books & religious items. There are Secular items here too. There's Usually a Nun present to pray with you or give cheerful encouragement. No high pressure sales push but always someone present to answer questions or make suggestions if asked. The Chapel is open & available for calming balance. I highly recommend this store. It's more than a store for religious items. Excellent high quality reasonably priced gifts & beautiful cards. Plus, the proceeds help the nuns to continue their good works.”

“Went to this bookstore recently and was blown away by the selection!!! So many great books and a good selection of romance books! Also shout out to the bookstore cat who is super cute!”
