Good food to eat, coffee or tea. Excellent Books. Nice place for a meeting or to work on your LapTop by myself. Ordered a book that is in print recently. Nice, safe place to go. Lots of books to learn from. read more

I was looking for a book of poems. I had the name of the book and the authors. But, dang, couldn't find it. So I asked for help, the lady said I was looking in the correct place, but I couldn't find it. She got another employee to look.....it took him 5 seconds to find it. He didn't gloat or ask if I was blind, all he said was "here it is, can I help you with anything else?" I should have gotten his name but I just thanked him and went to check out Fast, friendly service locally so I didn't have to wait 5-10 days for it to arrive by mail. Shop locally if you can. It helps everyone including yourself Overall: A++ read more

I've been visiting this location since in opened up in 1996. I love books to begin with, and they have the best selection of books, magazines, and other related items in the area. I love browsing in here. I have so many happy memories being here like ordering school related books and having them delivered to the store in a timely manner, studying in the cafe with other students when I was in school, and interacting with the helpful staff.. This is the only place where I patronize Starbucks since the Barnes and Noble preferred card gives customers a little discount on the purchase of Starbucks products. It is definitely a Kankakee County gem. read more

I'm in love with barns and nobles, there isn't a better place to find manga especially if they add a day to day wide variety. They even offer BL and GL! Yes, items are pricy but for the wonderful condition everything is in I would be delighted to get myself a membership soon! read more

It's Kankakee's first mega bookstore. It was always a nice place to kill time, pick up a magazine and they always had or could get the book I was looking for. The cafe was a nice place to hang out and meet a friend. read more

Great selection of manga and comics. Lots of great clearance deals too. And it's not too crowded even on a Saturday. Typical B&N.

Staff is always friendly and more than willing to help you find what you're looking for. The cafe is usually packed with people meeting up to study or whatever. The cafe sells Starbucks coffee and drinks, but doesn't accept Starbucks gift cards. read more

Reviewing the cafe which makes and sells Starbucks products and drinks. Very friendly, fast, and always a great place to sit and skim through a possible book purchase. Only thing is they do not accept the Starbucks cards so no stars earned. Even with that, the peaceful environment, ample sitting, cool air and excellent service makes up for the lack of official Starbucks. Come in, get off the electronics, grab an "old fashioned" book and fill your senses with adventure and imagination..... read more

I've been going to this B&N for over 10 years and these days I take my son there. I've never had a problem with anything. I've never visited the cafe bc to me it's a bookstore, not a coffee shop. Yesterday I took my son (age 7) so he could use the gift card he received for Easter. He already knew what two books he wanted so it was a quick and easy visit. When we got to the checkout he placed his books onto the counter. The cashier greeted him and spoke directly to him. After she rang everything up she asked for the phone number for the Kids Club membership, again speaking directly to him. He handed her his gift card and she asked if he wanted the receipt in the bag. She was so sweet and polite to him the entire time. If you haven't picked up on it already, that's what I'm so happy about. I called today and spoke to both her and her manager so they would know what the experience meant to us. For children with Autism, social skills can be a huge obstacle which has been true for us. Way too many times he tries to socialize and people act like he isn't there. Not true at this Barnes & Noble. And for that we thank you. read more

BeSt book store around. Gary, the manager, has helped me several times find what I was looking for. Nice people

Always friendly and helpful staff. The cafe is nice. The only problem I have is that the seating in the book store is gone. Those comfy couches and deep chairs were nice. read more

It means so much to me to be able to take my daughter to a bookstore. With today's technology it's a dying breed. It's like wonderland to the both of us. Thanks BarnesAnd Nobles!! read more

Love that this store is here locally! Nice big area of children's items, which my son loves, and they have pajama story times throughout the year. I constantly am in the cafe, plugged in, typing away on some report/paper I need to have turned in, and the selection of drinks/food there are delicious! We come and do a book night every once in a while and look at books, play trains, then get dinner (and dessert) in the cafe. It's really nice to have somewhere like this so close to home. It barely has any selection of CD's and no DVD's, which is different than other B&N's I've been to, but it's not an issue for what I go there for. read more

I have been going to this barns and noble since I was 15, I have never had any trouble with the bookseller staff. Until this time I have not had a problem with the cafe staff either. I went into the cafe with my husband and was deciding if I wanted a warm drink or cold and my husband went ahead and ordered for me. The girl in the cafe decided to go out of her way to say rudely "well it's a good thing he knows what you want". I don't think after holding in my frustration I can go back to this locations cafe if that is how they are aloud to talk to there customers. read more

Always liked this store. Love the smell of books and the feel of the paper. However, due to the convenience of my iPad I may never purchase a physical book again unless its unavailable electronically somewhere. I take my kids here to pick out books as a reward for good work or grades. They love it too. Is it my imagination or can I really not access Amazon while using B&N wifi? read more

Horrible store. They had a pipe break in their store and had to rebuild everything. Now they are making certain employees work on Easter Sunday even though the store isn't open for business. The managers get ticked if their employees are not at their beck and call. Example: You turn your phone off because you are in a movie theatre. They send you a text to come into work and are mad that you aren't available. Note to corporate: Get real managers who know what they are doing. read more
