Ahh books! Honesty not a priority in my life but it should be. Recently, the family did a getaway out of range of the internet, and only after sitting down to read was we only able to not go stir crazy! Books calm and open the mind. And this store has never disappointed! They have various titles to peruse through and it's worth your time and effort to find something(s) to one's liking(s)! We came here during Black Friday but ANYTIME is a good time for purchasing reading material. Return trips are inevitable! read more

Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Bookstores Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

This is a fantastic location. Whenever we are in Yuma we are sure to stop in and look around. Besides the nicely displayed and organized labyrinths of bookshelves full of great reads, there is a cool coffee shop located inside for drinks and snacks. There are plenty of seating options to relax and talk - or read. They also have games, toys, and other non-book things to peruse while you're inside. There are racks and racks of magazines as well. This store always seems to have some really good discounted items on a table - books, toys, and games all with big markdowns. Located on the left side of the store as you enter and toward the back. There are plenty of friendly employees around to ask if you have questions about a certain book or author and there are even some freestanding computer stations to look up items while you're in the store. Plenty of registers when you're ready to buy your stuff. Also, plenty of bookmarks, gift cards, and little impulse buys in that area of the store. Can't go wrong stopping in to add a book to your road trip or complete your home collection of a series or find the perfect gift for a friend or family member. read more

We lived in Yuma for 4+ years and loved our local B&N! They were always willing to ask for help in finding what we were looking for, or offered to order things for us if not in stock. Bailey, the manager, was especially helpful with locating a missing receipt we needed as proof of purchase. She spent a long time with me and was super patient going through thousands of transactions- highly recommend Yuma's B&N! read more

This particular Barnes & Noble is a little bit smaller than other Barnes and Nobles I have been too. However, the staff is absolutely amazing. I mean that. From the person who checked us out at the register to the individuals at the Starbucks. We actually had an opportunity the last time we are in to speak with the assistant manager for quite a while about a program that gives money to schools when they take the time to work at the Barnes & Noble for a day. It is a little bit more detailed than what I am explaining here but the point is that he took quite a bit of time to explain the program to us. On a side note, the chocolate chip cookies from Starbucks are absolutely amazing! We also love that they were walking around with samples from Starbucks while we were shopping. read more

I love this Barnes and nobles but they really need to close later than 7. Especially during summer months. At least 9. Even 830. But 7? Way too early. read more

Bailie shands the manager here is extremely condescending, doesn't understand the concept of good customer service. Has a bad attitude when being asked about products. If this is who you have representing your store, then good luck bringing back continuous customers. I rather drive the two hours to San Diego than deal with rude little girls. Pro tip. If you hate your job that much, find a new one, and stop making everyone around you miserable. Also spoke Ill of me to other co workers as if I wasn't standing a foot away from her. Either has no social awareness or enjoys being disrespectful (: read more

I love this place and I will not stop coming no matter what pettiness they pull. I will say, however, that my experience there is never unpleasant UNLESS I have food. I am a student and trying to watch my health intake so when I bring in chipotle because it's a healthier option than their pastry bar and less healthy food options, I don't think it's nice to say to me that no outside food is NOT allowed so loudly in front of everyone. One customer brining in their own food is not going to make or break these people . This is a book store , not a restaurant. I pick up after myself because I understand what manners are and such and I need to eat and study and use their wifi at the same time. They are also very limited in their Starbucks menu items so I brought my own blonde shaken espresso from ANOTHER Starbucks and that probably added to them victimizing me...granted there was one other customer in the store with an outside drink who was not bothered during their visit because of their outside beverage ‍ anyway, very uncomfortable for me. I had to stay until closing to use their wifi though so I just sucked it up but writing this review has helped me deal with it too. I like this place and I hope they do change that useless policy which I thought they had changed- specially considering we should all be a little more lenient in the midst of a pandemic. Besides it's not like I can eat my food in my car because it's 100 degrees or hotter where I live. I think the guy's name was Paul. He saw me the moment I walked in. And I noticed him because I thought it was odd to see an employee sitting amongst customers in the cafe where there is such limited sitting space. Also, in my defense, I never saw signs posted that outside food or drinks are not allowed so I just really didn't appreciate feeling like I had done some horrible thing by breaking some made up rule :( read more

A great place to chill during the summer months here in yuma. :) it is the only really big bookstore we have in yuma. So if you need to buy a book this is the place to go. They also have your typical starbucks like cafe inside if you need a bit to eat. read more

Great staff. Great selections. Great atmosphere. This is probably one of the best and well maintained book stores I've ever been in.

This is a mixed review. First let me start by saying that, I enjoy BEING at B&N to select a book, drink a cup of coffee, but wish they had more sitting than the benches by the magazine. Its nice to read a book around books with a cup of coffee, especially after buying it. Being in a small town, like Yuma, I figured that customer service would be better. So, the store, is really nice, could use more seating, but I could survive. The issue, is customer service. So I took my son, who is 5, to the Marvel reading event on a Saturday. First, the manager, explains that ALL readings are done at 11 AM on Saturdays and apologized for the inconvenience of not having a time posted for the reading. (We showed up at 10 AM, because my wife was informed by a staff member that the reading started at 10AM) Ok, so no problem, things happen, perhaps it was just misunderstanding. So, they are literally scrambling to make this event happen, as other people have been waiting as well since around 10AM. The manager comes over and apologizes and explains to us that the previous night's event, "Olaf" went late after working hours on Friday, until 9PM, so the staff was unprepared for this morning. Again, okay, so, perhaps this is just a bad chain of events, they are trying and a reading will happen. So, finally the reading begins, and some minor activities afterwards (coloring), and they did provide some treats from Starbucks for the children and parents. The manager did attempt to add some humor to the event and again was apologetic. While the children were coloring, they handed out slips for the parents to fill out for prizes, which were unavailable at the moment (no explanation as to why or what the prizes were, presumably for the children). The manager explained that winners will be contacted the following day. Before I get into the true issue here, let me say the reader and staff pulled it together and truly made it happen for the children. This was the saving grace of the whole thing. So, the next day, around 230PM, I get a phone call, which I missed, due to being outside and grilling on a weekend. I see the number which I don't recognize, notice there is no voice mail associated, and then my wife reminds me, that B&N could have called me with the prize. So I return the call about an hour later at 330PM. I was placed on hold for about 4 minutes, until someone answered. I explained to them I believed someone called me about the prize, and was explained that they moved on and all prizes have been awarded. I was a bit taken aback, and asked why no voice mail was left or given the opportunity to call back and claim the prize. The staff member speaking to me (not sure who it was talking, could have been manager, but I won't say it was) informed me that there were no rules about prizes and they just wanted to get rid of them, so they have all been awarded, and if someone did not answer their phone, they called the next person. I explained to this individual that that was a very cheap and shady move to pull, not to mention unprofessional and lacking all kinds of courtesy. This whole event which was an attempt to push sales of Marvel material for the children, promoting the movie, and bring people into your store, was meant for the children. The lack of professionalism about the entire chain of events causes me concern, looking back to the tardiness and apparent unpreparedness of the staff to the end where I was contacted and ultimately skipped because I did not answer my phone. Well, I understand there were no rules about the prizes, but really? Is it difficult to leave a message and say, if you do not call us back within a set time frame, we have to move to the next person? Then the back peddling staff member trying to explain why this was done, which my impression was to 'move merchandise' they did not see sales for. This whole review may seem petty, but coming from a business owner's standpoint, sales, especially in retail like books, whose customer base are among the most loyal repeat customers, this type of attitude and unprofessional quality of service is poor in my view. This is a simple type of business. The employees seemed unaware that an event was even happening until enough people asked. Okay, so bottom line, I feel management here is to blame. Having unprepared staff is not the staff's fault, but management. Being apologetic is fine, but to place blame on events and provide excuses is another, just fix the problem like you tried. Then, don't salvage the problem and essentially cheat children out of a promotional prize that costs your store nothing. I can fully tell you, until management changes, I am done dropping money in this place. With personnel like this in charge, its no wonder the neighborhood bookstores have disappeared across this country, which is a shame. This was the last type of retail establishment where I expected customer service to be meaningful. read more

I love Barnes and Nobel. This place always has what I'm looking for, it has a quite atmosphere, the cafe is yummy and the employees are very helpful and polite. Well, at least most of them. On several occasions, I have gone in there to see the same manager acting very prickly and intimidating with a "holier-than-thou" attitude not only to the staff but to customers. I've witnessed him rolling his eyes and glaring at customers that come through the door. He's been my cashier on some of my visits and was very short and cold. This is a shame because this store could be REALLY great. read more

Ahhh...a little mental stimulation amongst a sea of liquor and gun stores. Thanks, Yuma!

We aren't from Yuma but we decided to stop by the store. It was almost dead. Maybe 9 people the whole store. We had our daughter with her in the kids section and WE WHERE THE ONLY FAMILY IN THE KIDS SECTION. As we sat at the kids table as oir daughter kept bringing books and stuff some associate comes rushing over and asked not to sit there because kids might want to sit there. I looked around and seen no other kids in that section and told him that and he said we needed to moved. Now I can see if I was preventing kids from sitting there, which I wouldnt, then yeah I could see where he was coming from. I have been to many Barns and Nobles, sat at the kids tables or what not and never was asked to move. We won't go back to that store. Lame. read more

One of the smaller BnN I've been to. Wish they had more of a lounge area with couches and seating, other than that it's decent.

Pretty shabby and rundown, a lot of the books look kind of damp and thumbed through. Hard to find anyone who works there willing to help, and when found they tend to go straight to their computers and ask if you want to order online. Like Amazon Prime is a secret. The last time I was there was to study for an exam with a friend. The store was empty, and yet a "manager," materialized to tell us we were blocking the wall display. Overall, the feeling is they want my money, but not my presence. read more

Closest real bookstore to the Imperial Valley, thank God for e-readers. Helpful employees, good selection. Just don't accidentally leave your cell phone in the bathroom like I did or it will be gone in less than 5. Don't worry, I got it back after tracking it to the thief's car on the hubby's phone. at least there was a Starbucks inside so I could enjoy my wait for Yuma's finest. ;) read more

So I need to confess - as much as this is a bookstore, I use it as a rest stop on my travels between San Diego and Phoenix. There's no real rest stop in Yuma but this place always has a clean bathroom as well as a Starbucks. It's not in a touristy area and a bit off the beaten path so never really crowded. The Starbucks itself is hit or miss. This last time I stopped here my mocha was a little too weak and watered down tasting. I HATES THAT! But it's basically a chill place to hang out - well air conditioned and sometimes entertaining. Once I watched some Barnes and Noble manager scolding a subordinate because the board games near the front were not arranged exactly like the printed diagram from corporate headquarters he held in his hand suggested. Some of the boxes were not sticking out at the right angle. LOL. NOw that I think of it, this is probably one of the few times I stick my head into a Barnes and Noble PERIOD. Anything I would buy from Barnes And Noble I usually buy from Amazon. So I enjoy this place as much as possible. Who knows when it might go the way of Borders, Blockbuster, and the Dodo Bird. read more
