About Barnes & Noble
Barnes & Noble has recently opened a new location that, despite being smaller than other stores, offers a delightful shopping experience. The store features a well-curated selection of books across various genres, along with DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, and unique merchandise. Customers appreciate the artistic design of the space, which is described as "adorable" and "small and mighty." While some have noted the absence of a café, it is expected to open soon next door. The store is also praised for its knowledgeable and friendly staff, who provide good customer service, helping customers find and order books with ease. However, the layout can be challenging for those with strollers or wheelchairs, as display tables are strategically placed throughout the store to maximize space. Despite this, the bookstore is considered worth visiting, especially for its extensive selections, including a large manga section and a well-received children's area. Overall, this Barnes & Noble is a promising addition to the community, bringing back the joy of browsing a big bookstore.

Only for the books. The staff don't really engage you 1st with a greeting at the counter. I had to do so and they seem checked out. Don't hold any enthusiasm for serving the public. Which is no one's fault but their own bc they chose that job.

I’m not sure why this place has bad reviews, it’s really cool. Great selection and vibe. I do wish Starbucks corporate would add a SMALL COFFEE STATION PLEASE GOD and like one public restroom even if it needs to have 10 locks and laser shark guards. But solid store as is. Nice staff!
