The Spectrum at Reston Town Center is a nice area featuring big chain stores like Citi Bank, Verizon, and a Mexican-style restaurant, alongside a Harris Teeter grocery store. The Harris Teeter is clean with helpful staff, wide aisles, and tidy shelves. It offers a great selection of fresh meat, seafood, and produce, though prices are slightly higher. The store has an odd, split-aisle layout that some find unintuitive and difficult for first-time shopping, while others find it makes intuitive sense. The pharmacists are noted for going above and beyond. The center has become nicer with the addition of Barnes & Noble, though it is noted as having many bank branches and not an area to sit.
Went to Barnes and Nobles and the cashier was really nice.

Nice area with a few big chain stores, Citi bank, Verizon, Harris teeter, and a Mexican-style restaurant. Not an area to sit though.

This shopping center seems nicer now that Barnes & Noble has arrived. Nothing against Office Depot, but Barnes & Noble seems a better fit. Still way too many bank branches here. Why not add more small places to eat? I suppose that's why Harris Teeter is remodeling to add a cafe.
