    Always nice to know that there is still a physical bookstore to go to, when you're just trying to find that one special good book, the perfect cookbook and that hard to find magazine that no one else seems to carry. I've also gotten lots of really good little gifts, cards and toys as well, not to mention, a great place to meet a friend for a cup of coffee at the Starbucks. Not always a lot of people around to help you with the books, but when you do find one, they are a wealth of information.

    The Barnes & Noble inside Desert Ridge felt quite old and dusty, but it had a great selection of food in larger portions. The Starbucks inside wasn't clean, and the dark atmosphere didn't give off the best vibe. The whole place could really use some innovation, but the customer service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly, and they offered a wide variety of everything. As a Barnes & Noble enthusiast, I appreciated the unique small items they had, in addition to the huge selection of books. It was nice to walk around, get warm, and enjoy the cozy, chill atmosphere. Plus, it gave me a chance to explore and grab some great books for my flight back home. The value of the books was similar to California; not much different. The only real difference was the tax.

    I don't see many Barnes and Noble anymore. I used to go to a really nice one(Westside Pavilion, Pico & Westwood) in LA in the 90s that closed down. This store is in a nice, upscale mall in Desert Ridge(far north phoenix). The book selection is great and I also enjoyed a hot cup of Starbucks Java at their cafe. The atmosphere is nice with nice outdoor mallcourt seating as well. I subtract one star for no electric to charge my smart phone. Note: I did find some outlets to plug my phone next to the lit up palm trees in the outside mall court. Recommended bookshop and coffee/tea cafe.

    I love books, and I love them on my kindle (downloaded from my local library for free). Yet, there's something about going into a bookstore and opening a physical book, turning it over, thumbing through the pages, which the digital version just doesn't deliver. That feeling can still be found here. I picked up several titles of interest (checked my Goodreads to verify that I hadn't read any before, checked my library online to see if they could be found there--not everything is perfect in my digital world, and breathed deeply the aroma of ink on paper). How refreshing to still be able to do this plus the a/c in the store was awesome.

    Big, beautiful bookstore with coffee!!!

    I came in to hopefully find the Obama in pictures photo/ biography... David appears to help me in my quest, THANK YOU DAVID! the only reason I gave them four stars instead of five is because they didn't have it in stock and it would take 5-7 business days, i went ahead and ordered and can't what to receive my call that it is ready for pick up! David is the man!!!

    B&N

    I can spend hours in B&N! This location is always clean. Inventory is stocked. The entry displays are good representations of what has been recently released. Staff is helpful. Doesn't hurt to have a Starbucks inside a well.

    Midnight release!

    This is definitely my favorite B&N in the Phoenix metro area. Be it book releases, store events, or the holiday rush, they are always organized and pleasant. An employee finally talked me into becoming a member, and it has really paid off. The 10% member discount, combined with the email discounts, which range from 20-30% off, for a total of 30-40% off your purchase. You do have to pay attention though. Sometimes, they don't take the right amount; for example, Christmas Eve, the cashier took of 25% instead of 30%. The difference was less than $2 for my purchase, so it's not a big deal, just remember to make sure you get the appropriate discount. The employees are always helpful and they've always been well stocked for the things that I've needed and wanted, which is typically comic/Marvel/DC, classic novels, Harry Potter things, and vinyl. They have a nice vinyl selection. There is a Starbucks inside this location and they have no problem making the secret menu items, like the Pokemon Go drink.

    A great Barnes and Noble with a fantastic book selection. My only suggestion would be to add more food options at the cafe.

    Buyer beware. The people at the Cafe will double charge you, and still not make it to your order.

    They have a great selection of books, magazines, and of course a Starbucks cafe if you are interested in a drink while you browse / read.

    The installation with them went smoothly I was very happy. However, the post-support experience…read morewas a different story. I emailed and called them multiple times, but I never received a response. Later, I discovered that the phone number in my Control4 to contact them was incorrect, but the email address I used was correct so that is on them. After a month of waiting, I finally reached someone via phone and asked for some programming changes. A few days later I noticed that some of my requests had been completed but not the rest. I had to chase them down to thank them for doing while inquiring when I could expect the rest. What's most frustrating about this whole process is all but one of my emails went unanswered and they responded to me as if I was just saying Hello. A few days ago, I finally spoke with an Ethan was friendly and promised to be my liaison. However, my request to have programming done for my Control4 to include my Marantz receiver has not progressed at all and there has been no communication. I would not have a problem if it took them 30 days to complete the issue, but the lack of communication is appalling. It's been a horrible experience. I happen to own a complimentary business to theirs and unfortunately would not be able to recommend them.

    We hired Bob and his team to complete a full control 4 system at our home, wire and install a fully…read moreintegrated theater system, outdoor/indoor speakers, security cameras, automated blinds, and installation of new tvs in virtually every room. His team was not the cheapest but you pay for what you get. I owned and operated an electrical company in Washington state that was very large and i had certain standards. I wasn't sure what the expectations would be down in Arizona. From day one Bob was never pushy, he offered suggestions and ultimately completed our project on time and as promised. A job this size always comes with drywall damage and I knew that going into it. But it was very minor and at the end of the project you literally cannot notice any repairs. This company definitely knows high end home service for sure. Upon completion, the programming team came out to politely show my wife and I how the system worked from our phones, tablets, and more. Not once did our questions get overlooked the team took the time to log us into everything and I couldn't be more happy with the end result. Once we had more time to understand the system we added even more light switches to the program. If you have a large home and want the extra wow factor, and convenience of full automation of would say look no further than this group of professional, patient people.

This spot truly is an indie bookstore, there is a little bit of nostalgia here and of course books. I love hole in the wall indie book stores. There aren't a lot of them out there so I get excited when I find one. I read a mix of genres. In the horror section I saw that they had a Dean Koontz special. I've always wanted to read his work and this felt like the perfect time to start. I bought my first Koontz books today because of this store. I will be back especially for the dogs and the great prices.

I bought 17 books today. 15 were Romance! They have thousands of books and a sitting area ANNDDDDD 2 cute dogs that are in store that will ask for belly rubs. Whatttttt!?!?!? This was an amazing visit to the bookstore and they definitely found a forever customer in me because I will most certainly be back! Probably on a weekly basis.
