It's fun to wander around. And so many memories as I used to work at B&N. The smell of books and the feel of the crisp pages is amazing. The Harry Potter section was cool to check out. So many options. And magazines to browse through. Found some great discount items for relaxation time. You can buy a book and a snack and read in the cafe area. Parking in semi private lot. read more

I am deep in my reading era lately, so I love visiting Barnes and Noble. This location in the Southlands is nice. The people who work here are always friendly. One thing that keeps happening to me is I will be looking for a particular book in the section that it is supposed to be in under the authors name, but will not be able to find it there. I will happen to find it on one of the featured tables. Featured books should still be in their designated sections in their genres along with being on those tables. Regardless they still always have what I am looking for and more. Plenty of parking with a few EV chargers. Starbucks inside. read more

I go to this B&N often, but some of their corporate policies need major rethink. I recently went in to use a 20% off coupon on one item, bought three things, and the register automatically applied the coupon to the least expensive item. This is just WRONG! B&N fix this! I returned the whole purchase, and then just purchased the most expensive book. What kind of yahoos set things up this way? read more

Was racial profiled for being a customer, was walking to the checkout line and the young blonde girl walked out very fast and confronted me like I was gonna walk out without paying. Happened yesterday 12/29/24 read more

I enjoy visiting this Barnes & Noble when I am in the area because it has a Starbucks that is always on point and I like that they have good rotating inventory. I usually shop at the Lone Tree B & N, but this one is not as busy. My late father taught me to read at a very early age and it seemed like I was always at a bookstore or library. As I got older he taught me how to speed read , the real thing is retention when speed reading. I always have at least 10 books that I am reading. My purchases at this Barnes & Noble on this visit were pretty decent. I've been looking for a good book about the life of Harriet Tubman for awhile. I usually like biographies so I snagged one about Elon Musk. I had to order The Have and Have Nots to be delivered to my home because they did not carry that title. And lastly the latest Handmaids tale book as I watched the show and wanted to know what happened beyond the story in the show. I love the magazine selection here as well. Great selection of gift items too. read more

The lady at the cafe was very rude. asked for a cup of water and didn't say anything but went to do everything in a rudely manner. and when I said thank you she walked away without saying anything. I don't know anything about the stores values but I do know customer service is an important value in service. Mind you it wasn't busy nor nobody ordered anything. Wouldn't recommend, Service is a no go here. This was a friday evening at 7:30, on 8/16/24. Never coming back again for my own morals. read more

I just absolutely love B&N! The layout, the variety, and the employees are so helpful! This location is no different. There is a starbucks inside, and it is quite sizable where you can sit and chat with friends, and then go explore all the amazing books they have! read more

The lay out here is terrible and the entrance is in the back. Can't even access it from the Main Street entrance like all the other businesses, wtf is that all about even!? read more

This book store is awesome I went here with only 10$ and got a ton of books! I suggest you go.

OK, truth is I am an Amazon girl myself, but sometimes you just need a brick and mortar store and this is my go to B&N. Big, well stocked and helpful associates! Plus there is a ton of parking and it is easy to get in and out of - always a plus in my book. Great place to shop. Plus there is a SBux in it if you want a cup a Joe with new reading material :) read more

Will not match the online price even though it's there own website. Insane So I have to stand in the store, order from my phone and say pick up in store to get a cheaper price. So apparently Barnes and Noble hates money. This may be a reason why these places have been circling the drain for years. No wonder these places are closing left and right. Strike 2 was the fact they don't take Starbucks card as payment for coffee despite it being a Starbucks...Starbucks is all over the place in here but it must be a special kind of Starbucks lol. Starbooks? read more

It's a Barnes & Noble. It's at Southlands, one of those outdoor super sprawl mall or "shopping neighborhood" type places. Two things set this place apart. The first is purely logistical. Despite being at Southlands, it has its own dedicated parking lot. This makes shopping here WAY more convenient than shopping at most of the stores at Southlands. The second is its customer service. Every time I come here, the people are friendly, seem genuinely happy to be there, and interact with customers in a social way instead of just handing out pat responses and working the register. On my most recent visit, there was a mistake. I bought two items. I was double-charged for one of them. I didn't figure this out until I'd already left the store. I called them immediately and explained what had happened. The woman I talked to asked for a few numbers from my receipt, confirmed my purchases, then refunded the duplicate back to my debit card. Score! I love it when what I think will be a hassle turns out to be no big deal. Even though I'm closer to the B&N at 225 and Alameda, I'll make the drive to this one because every experience I've had here is so pleasant. read more

I love Amazon, but at heart I love going in to a real bookstore and just browsing. I could spend hours browsing the stacks when I was younger, but when the price of paperbacks rose to $8 and $9 I finally broke down and started buying cheaper online. That being said, I do still love going in and browsing now and again. There's nothing better than going in and judging a book by it's cover to find a a new, cool author. This Barnes is always nice and the staff are uber-friendly. Easy to park and get in and out of at the mall. read more

As others have said this is a typical Barnes & Noble. That typically means that it's the same as all the other ones but I really love the location of this particular store. So many other stores, shops, and restaurants to entertain yourself. I love coming here when I have the kids with me to stop and get a coffee and then look around. read more

Went in Barnes and Nobles to look for records. Was browsing around to see which one I wanted. Was standing there for a few minutes trying to choose which one i wanted and this rude empolyee came up to me and said "The Cafe is 20 feet away if you wanna just stand around." She stomped away after we wanted an explanation of why she was upset. read more

great location! I love a good book store. Though, I wish people wouldn't leave their kids unsupervised and let them run around the store wild. My kids had a good time reading in the children's section. read more

I've worked in retail in my past and it seems every retailer except B&N price matches amazon. I want so badly to support them but when I can get it half price on amazon with free shipping it's kind of a no brainer. Hopefully B&N will get with the rest of retail and learn to price match otherwise I don't see them lasting much longer with online markets being so much cheaper and convenient. read more

This location is really large, and has an awesome Starbucks in it. They've got a great selection of non-book items as well (I go looking for Domo figures sometimes). Good book selection too, though I mainly go in there for ideas and then buy the books on the iTunes bookstore. read more

I actually love the idea of traditional book stores. I adore the feel of a real book in my hands, and the smell of fresh ink on paper. What I don't so much love are the retail prices and the (somehow, despite its expansive size) limited selection(s). I must admit, I was a big Borders fan when they were still around, and I thought they were superior to B&N, but, hey, look what happened when you're too slow to join in on the tech fun, eh? Anyway... I remember there being these laminated guides, from math to science to vocabulary... And that's what I was on the hunt for last weekend, and what I failed to find here. Huh. Maybe I'll have better luck online. Okay, scratch that. I know I'll have better luck online. I'll probably still be back, though, since I'm such a sucker for hard copies and that joy of looking through the shelves for that next perfect read. read more

B&N rocks! Add that to a super location and you have a winner. read more

My favorite Barnes & Noble location. I go here at least twice a month. I love their selection, the store is spread out and doesn't feel cramped. Their staff is helpful and asks if you need help. The location is at my favorite mall, Southlands. I know where to find things in this store. read more

Sarah Gleason was incredible in helping me find a toy for my daughter. She took the meaning of going above and beyond to a new level. The store is well stocked with much more then just books, it has really unique gifts. It is staffed by amazing employees and I will be back. read more

I needed a book for school. I called in and asked if they had it. They did so I asked if they could reserve it and the lady on the phone said that it would be ready when I got there. I called because I live 30 minutes away. When I got there the guy at the front counter had a hard time finding it. After a few minutes on the computer he told me that it was a new release which meant that it would not be available for pickup for another 8 days. The lady on the phone should have told me that and I don't why they let me reserve it when it would another 8 days till anyone could get it. I know it could have just been a small mistake but it annoys me that I had to drive an hour for nothing. read more

I am a regular customer at Barnes and Noble especially the Starbucks. I have to say that one particular employee, Jonas stands out everytime I visit. Jonas always provides exceptional customer service. He knows me by name, my customer number and my favorite drink. This type of customer service is hard to come by these days. He greets me with a smile and always shares a joke or two. The place is always tidy when he is on the clock and he is always professional. Thank you, Jonas, for making my visits to Starbucks and Barnes and Noble a positive experience. read more

This Barnes and Noble is quite large and has a wide variety of books, music, gifts, games, etc. I can spend hours and hours in a place like this. Unfortunately I didn't have hours today (only a few minutes), so I did a quick scan of the clearance bin and surprisingly was able to find some good stuff - and half off, too! The check-out clerk was very friendly and did a speedy job of checking us out. Overall, great store and very pleasant experience. read more

First off I am a big fan of Barnes & Noble but today I am not. I walked up the street in 35 degree weather to grab a coffee from Starbucks. I waited in line, ordered my coffee, and tried to pay with my app. Unbeknownst to me this Starbucks wasn't a Starbucks? Could have fooled me. It says Starbucks everywhere. The cups say Starbucks, the food in the case looks like the same food in the case at all of the other Starbucks. I didn't bring my wallet because I always pay with the app. Usually when it says Starbucks it actually is Starbucks. Very frustrating to say the least. If the coffee shop in the back of the store isn't a Starbucks then quit labeling everything Starbucks. Isn't that trade infrigement? read more

My time in the store was pleasant. Every person that works at this location was willing to walk me to whatever location I asked about. The clearance area had a great selection. Being able to read and drink delicious coffee is an added bonus. It appears that there were regulars there that enjoy just hanging out while enjoying books. read more

Very typical B&N, and by that I mean the layout is the same as most other B&N's, there is the coffee bar area, there is the kids corner, and there is the info circle in the center. So, if you've been to one, you know your way around this one. The great thing I love about books, is that new book smell, and the crisp pages, and knowing that there is something great about knowledge in such a small package. I love books. So, this is as close to heaven for me as Target, for one stop shopping. The employees at this B&N are also book lovers like myself and very excited to share their knowledge with you. I was looking for some mindless fiction by one of my favorite Black authors, and I asked if they had an African American fiction section, which they did not, so the csr tried to veer me towards the cultural something or other section and I had to explain that I wasn't looking for for anything that deep, just some urban fun. She then threw out a name of one of my not so favorite smutty authors and I was impressed. Not that she knew this name, but that she was listening and really trying to put two and two together to help me get my book fix. Anyway, I found some great reading and a fabulous Thai cookbook - yeaaa! read more

Yes they still around. this store has always had what Im looking for. Nice coffee shop inside if you partake.

Great selection. They even have board games! But yes books books so many books. Sometimes I want a real book vs reading on the nook. Nice store and love Starbucks. read more

I go to the Barnes and Nobel café many times. Depending on who is working the drinks are pretty average. I ordered a cotton candy frappuccino and when I got it, it was completely milk. It tasted like blended milk and ice with whip cream on top. I was very frustrated when I spent $6 on a drink and got it and it was awful. Shortly after I got a stomach ache and I threw it all up. The manager there is very disrespectful and rude. She talks back and argues with the customer. I've asked for many simple things and all have been wrong. Some workers there are very nice, but others are very rude. I was not impressed with how they were treating us as customers. I hope that this can be fixed. read more

I've been coming to this Barnes & Nobles for years. Everything has been amazing, hence why I keep coming back, though for the past week, their Starbucks shop employees has not been friendly at all. Every time I Have approached them, they were annoyed, rude, and some seem to have a strong attitude problem. I was not pleased for the past week. At some point, I decided to ask for a large cup of ice and water and they rudely replied, "we have cups and water and ice to the side, go there for them. We're not a real Starbucks, I can't just give you a cup of water, so water is off to the side over there. They are 12 oz that should fill you up." For all the years I've attended this location, giving a customer a large cup of ice and water did not seem like a problem. While I sat down with my small cup of water, she came to wipe down the table and chair in front and behind me and rolled her eyes, and aggressively took the other chair behind me and hit it against the chair I was sitting in. I am definitely not happy with the employee(s) for the past week. read more

Always a good selection of Pop Funko figures here. Books on clearance near the front of the store. Good selection of vinyl records. Take note the Starbucks in here is not a real Starbucks. They do NOT honor Starbucks gift cards or SBucks members here. read more

Everyone knows what to expect when they go into a Barnes and noble. What I like about this particular store is it is rarely crowded. I'm not sure if it's the area or what but I'm always impressed how much quieter it is than other bookstores. I just with there was a non-boxstore type store around. read more

Nice location to get some Starbucks coffee and relax. Also, plenty of parking on the backside helps quite a bit. since I live very close to it, I go there often ( especially when working from home, and want to take a break). I like their cafe area, its spacious enough to find a place to study/work. read more

The starbucks at this location has no idea how to make a white chocolate mocha. Someone please teach them. When a drink costs 5 dollars or more, then it should be made right. My white chocolate mocha tasted like hot milk. I ordered it at 930 am today. So management, please have remedial training conducted. read more

Worst Starbucks in the state... They are close to work however this Starbucks clearly needs some adult management that can keep these people in line. They cannot make drinks, have no people skills and are just outright rude! I will be getting coffee at another location from here on out and will never return to the book store or Starbucks again! read more

I go to this Barnes and Noble very often. Most times the drinks are very average or extremely watered down. But this time was the most memorable. I ordered a peppermint mocha latte with almond milk no whip. (I am lactose intolerant so I know when the don't use it) me and my friends get our drinks. Only about 15 minutes later, I felt like throwing up. So me and my friends walk back up to the register. I politely said "I got this about 15 minutes ago and I don't think this is almond milk" she politely said that she would re make my drink. Me and my friends stood near where they make the drinks. I watched her grab " Dairy Pure 2% milk " and dump way to much into my cup. Along with another type of regular milk. She then handed me the drink and said, " I made it myself so you should be ok" I took one sip and it tasted like milk. My friends agreed. Also one of my friends has a severe nut allergy and she had zero reaction afterwards. I hope that no one who has a life threatening allergy comes here because i wouldn't risk it. The woman who made it was also the manager. So she should know what she's doiHer name is Sarah. She is very rude and has been known to be very rude to people I know. read more

One horrible/lazy employee can ruin your store. I have spent WAY too much money here buying everything Harry Potter, Star Wars novels, legos you name it. Heck just last week I purchased my daughter a $75 Heromine Time-Turner necklace and charm. I needed to get my son a book for school, so I placed it on hold, and thought heck while I'm at it I'll buy my daughter a Sorting Hat as well. I rush home from work, get there at 8:57. There is a young man claiming to be the store manager locking the doors. I very politely say "I'm sorry it's late, but I really need to buy the book I have on hold at your register." He pauses, thinks about it and WITH A SMILE, says "no the registers are already closed." I again,almost begging him ask, "please it's right at the register and I'll use a credit card so it won't affect your till count." He smirks and says as he is shutting the door, "no I'm not re-opening a register." I'm DONE! Customer service is all that keeps brick and mortar stores open, and too many employees are like this guy. It's WAY less expensive to just go to amazon and get what I need if I'm going to be treated like an inconvenience rather than a valued patron!!! read more
