This B&N is very neat and organized. It's easy to find someone to help and it seems there are people actively seeking out anyone who needs assistance. The people working the registers are quick and thorough and very kind. I generally go in for books but last time I was looking for hand lettering books and the woman I spoke to thought for .2 seconds and led me right to the section. She pulled out a couple that were exactly what I was looking for and I found a couple more after that. I love that when I get a book and go back for the rest of the series...they have them. So often places carry the first book then you have to order the next in the series. Also the café has DELICIOUS coffee. I'm not a coffee lover so when I get it I like it just so....and they do it exactly the way I like it. I tried the...sugar cooke? Latte? Last time...I thought it was going to be too sweet (and I like sweet) but it was perfection.

This is my GO TO Barnes and Noble in the whole triangle! The cafe staff make the yummiest drinks and are so nice. All of the staff are super friendly and really love the books they sell. The book recommendations around the store are super personal and interesting. I teach and I love to grade in the cafe, the seats and nooks and lighting around the store are extremely comforting. Love this place!

Was in town for a bit of a visit. I enjoyed this location. Not only were the items I intended to purchase easy to find but the staff were super friendly.

Barnes and Nobles has always been fabulous. I went to the magazine racks and found real car magazines, even an easy rider.... it was like living in the 90's... almost.

Staff is nice and helpful. Prices are higher compared to other places, but that's typical for a B&N. They have some good sales

Barnes & Noble offers a wonderful experience for book lovers and more, making it a solid four-star destination. The store boasts a vast selection of books, magazines, and often includes a cozy cafe area, perfect for relaxing with a new read or catching up with friends. The atmosphere is consistently inviting, and the staff are generally helpful and knowledgeable. While there might be occasional waits at the register or specific titles out of stock, the overall ambiance and extensive offerings make it a highly enjoyable place to spend time and discover new literary treasures

it's nice with a eating and reading areas with great service from the employees. I go in there at least 2 to 3 times a week to relax amongst the people.

As always! Can't wait to come back! What made this visit memorable? Everything, naturally as a bookish girlie! Favorite section would probably be the New Release(s) in fiction! And the Café $5 pick (alongside my first try of the Blueberry Red Bull) for the month "Mapping the Interior" by Stephen Graham Jones!

Clean, nicely laid out (like all B&Ns). Must make a purchase to use the bathroom. Door code is on receipt.
