I used to love coming here after a long day Infront of the computer. They have a Starbucks inside, and a selection large enough that will make the time fly by as you browse and discover new topics. The value is quite standard with what you typically see in other Barnes & Nobles. read more

I came regularly buy coffee and pastries like to sit down.. but the guy at the cashier was very rude deny me the code just to use restroom. Unbelievable wont coming back read more

I love bookstores! This location is the best. It's a really large store with excellent service and a terrific selection. They had a large selection in the clearance area and also had many things on sale throughout the store. The service was really good both on the floor and the register. read more

Barnes & Noble - Bookstores Near Me - Miami, Florida

Parking sucks. The store is so dirty and service from employees is subpar. Before covid this location was great. Management here has really gone downhill in the last couple years. Unfortunate read more

I actually love this place. Even though it's a chain, I feel like it's a friendly bookstore. The space is so clean. They have a great selection (lots of material about Florida, coral gables, miami) and the workers are so diligent and smart. The workers in the children section are less uptight than the other bookstore in the neighborhood I saw a customer abuse the cashier. Please don't do abuse the staff. They're working incredibly hard. Give them some grace and compassion Excellent location Parking in the rear read more

DO NOT interact with "shirley" she was EXTREMELY rude. I could not believe the sass I was getting for simply asking what the bathroom code was. I even already had purchased my books. Clearly I need to find a new bookshop to go back to just to make sure I never talk to this women again. 0/10 I cannot believe the look and condescending tone she gave me. They should honestly transfer or fire her. I only gave it two stars because one worker who helped me find my books was nice. read more

The store has "free parking for customers" but Barnes&Nobles has a contract with the Whitts Tow Away company, and just for business they tow away paying customers as well! Not even by showing my receipt of purchase and being found on their store camera recordings the store manager did nothing to help me. Scammers! Never park in the back and look out for that guy calling the tow truck. That night I saw 6 cars get towed and there was another paying customer that was complaining they got their car taken. read more

Excellent location, but had limited stock of the book I was looking for. Stopped at the cafe inside, it was fine, no frills, standard Starbucks. Bookstore staff are friendly and helpful. read more

I went in looking for a specific book that they had listed available online. I asked an employee for help, I'm not sure if the employee was annoyed or busy, didn't seem too eager to help me however was able to locate the book in their online system. The employee pointed me towards the general direction of where the book could be, however made little to no effort to locate the book. After a few minutes of trying to locate the book myself, I gave up and ended up placing an order on Amazon. There's a great selection of books overall, however my experience today was just not it. read more

Why would anyone rate this lower than a 5 is crazy to me. Barnes and Noble is a staple in my life. I have been coming here for years. I love the vibe, have always gotten good service and help from the staff and the value through their promotions and membership is fantastic. Books are an incredible way to travel the world without ever leaving your home. They inspire and teach. This place is amazing read more

Unfortunately, it looks like book store might soon be a thing of the past. So I am extra thankful for this Barnes & Noble and try to support the store as much as I can. They have a huge books section for kids where you can sit down and read some of the books. There's also a huge super cool toy section. The store has its own cafe which serves Starbucks coffee. You can also get cute gifts for friends and family here. There's complimentary parking for customers in back of the store on Andalusia Ave. read more

ENG: Amazing place in an amazing location. Large selection of books in both English and Spanish. Costumer service in both the coffee shop and bookstore was great, albeit some parts of the cafe would benefit from a thorough cleaning. ESP: maravillosa librería/café que cuenta con una gran selección de libros en español con énfasis en autores hispanoamericanos. Buen servicio al cliente tanto en la librería como en el café. read more

Barnes & Noble - Spanish section featuring plenty of classic Latin American authors. - Bookstores Near Me - Miami, Florida

ROACHES fyi im pretty sure this place doesn't get health code checks and with that being said theres roaches crawling all over the place in the coffee machines, lids, all over that they really dont do anything about. There was a time as well where there was like a fruit fly infestation and when I tell you they were in everything they were in EVERYTHING. Also dont eat here trust me but blame management they literally dont do anything about it nor do they train anyone on anything read more

Exelente lugar me encanta me gusta leer y tomar un chocolate caliente mientras leo acompañado de un dulce de vez en cuando

Do not go to the cafe at this place. This guy working Friday morning burnt both of my sandwiches, they came out black and smelt burnt. I asked for new ones and he rolled his eyes and started mumbling under his breath til the new ones were made. Most rude interaction I've had at a cafe. read more

This review is to the Barnes&noble cafe at Miracle Mile Coral Gables. This place is so dirty that I do not understand how is open to public. Broken cabinets, dirty floors with sticky food all over. Lack of products. Who is manager of this place. How inspectors allow this place to be open. How the franchise Starbucks do not supervise this place read more

Decent Barnes and Nobles located in Coral Gables. I've come here a few times to get books for my son or to kill time while I'm on the mile. This particular time I camenin a little more than an hour before they closed and headed straight for the children's section. Theirs is not particularly big but it's a nice size. The one in Kendall I feel is bigger and has more toys. Could be wrong. Anyway my son did the usual looking around at a whole mess of books before getting to one he loved. Easy to find books in this section btw and it was in order. Issues came at check out. There was literally one person at the register despite the long line. No one was being called to help either. Not that I care to wait but when you have two kids and one is starting to get antsy you start losing your patience. Finally made it to the line and literally paid as fast as I could. Nice Barnes and nobles but they can use some help on the floor and register. read more

This B&N location has a decent selection of books, magazines, and other items like calendars and gifts. As most other reviewers have mentioned, the in-store coffee shop is definitely a bonus and seems busy nearly every time I'm in this store. It seems that whenever I'm looking for a book on a particular subject, this store always offers 3 or 4 to choose from. Recently when a friend was injured and I heard they'd need to spend a few months at home recuperating, I decided to come here to get her some books that she'd enjoy to help pass the time. This B&N location didn't disappoint, and I was able to find 3 books in a few different genres that fit the bill perfectly. While online book stores can be convenient, sometimes it's nice to be able to come to a book store like this one, enjoy a cup of coffee and actually read through a bit of the book to make sure it's what you're expecting or looking for before you buy it. There's also something to be said for instant gratification and being able to walk out with a book you've chosen rather than waiting for it to arrive in the mail a week after you buy it. UPDATE 12/10/14: I returned to this B&N location and needed to use the restroom. WOW, their facilities are filthy! For such a decent looking bookstore, I was surprised that they don't seem to clean or upkeep their restrooms at all! I saw lots of hairs and feces smeared on the floor, no soap at the sink in the handicapped restroom (the only one available when I went in to use the restroom), the paper towel dispenser in there didn't work, and there was either dirt or perhaps tobacco all over the sink. The walls were smeared with either grease or perhaps ink that had been on people's fingers (this is a book store after all), and the carpeting leading back to the restrooms and area where the water fountains are located was nearly black in some areas where it was so filthy. Surprising, and not in a positive or good way! read more

Located on Miracle Mile, this Barnes and Noble surprisingly has free parking. Good luck trying to get it, though, as it shares its parking with its neighbor, FedEx. If you need to park and have no luck, there's plenty of street parking that is metered. That parking you can either pay via quarters or through their mobile app. If that doesn't work, there's a more expensive garage down the street you can use. Parking aside, this Barnes and Noble is a decent size. It may not be two floors, but it does have a Starbucks Café inside and the associates are friendly. They tend to have some events here, usually advertised via e-mail. I personally cannot comment on them as I have never gone to them, but it is something to keep in mind. Given the size of this Barnes & Noble, it is no surprise that some of their selection is limited. However, for a popular bestseller, they will usually have copies. If they don't, just order it in the store. Whenever I have needed a book here, everyone has gone out of their way to help me. All in all, I like the service here, but I do wish it were a bigger store. read more

I love this bookstore, I mean I come here pretty much every other day. I love books and they have a lotta of that. Usually they have all the books that I look for and if they don't they could order it for you in the store and have it delivered to your house. I think the whole bookstore is nicely organized. Also a great thing is that if you become a member you get 10% of in everything even in the cafe . I love all the girls that work in the cafe they are all super sweet and helpful. The latte I usually get always taste great ! Also the yummy baked goods they have like the new s'more cookie omg!! Deliciousness!!! The cafe seats and tables are quite cute; maybe it could use a little updating but I like to think everything that is a bit outdated gives the place character . Overall must give 4 lattes and books I must be in heaven stars read more

This is to be the biggest Barnes and Noble location I have been. With a vast variety of books, videos, magazines and much more. You can always go to their customer service and ask them for the book you want, they will look for you and if they have it they will even bring it to you. If they don't, you can reserve it and they will call you yo pick it up. On the left side of the entrance they have a Starbucks cafe with tables for your convenience. Este tiene que ser el Barnes y Noble más grande que he estado. Con una gran variedad de libros, videos, revistas y mucho más. Siempre puedes ir a su servicio al cliente y pedirles que el libro que deseas, te lo buscan y si lo tienen, incluso te lo traen. Si no lo hay, puedes reservarlo y te llaman para recogerlo. En el lado izquierdo de la entrada tienen un café Starbucks con mesas para tu conveniencia. read more

This is about the cafe not the book store. One of the baristas talks extremely fast that it's hard to understand. I misunderstood her and she showed frustration and impatience with me by raising her voice at me, tapping her fingers on the counter, giving me a face. The managers at this B&B cafe need to teach their baristas a little bit more about good customer service. I come here often and the drinks are done well, not the best, but they're drinkable. read more

This place was great. I came in and got a coffee at their Starbucks they have. Then we headed to the kids section where they have all their books. My child loves going through and picking out a book for herself. My 1 year old loves walking around looking at all the baby books they had to offer. They also had a toy section like a toy store and my kids loves looking at all the toys like it was a toy r us. We ended up buying some learning books for my 4 year old to prep her for kindergarten. Would definitely come back to this place is very clean and a great environment and also great location. They have parking in the back ! read more

I've been to this location about 3 times over the years. The most recent time I needed to pick up an online order for someone. When I was told I needed to go to the Coral Gables location of B & N, I kind of got a tightness in my stomach. Anyway when I arrived to pick up the book, I couldn't help but notice how untidy this location was in comparison to other locations in Broward and Palm Beach. You'd expect the place to be quiet, but for the love of God this place is loud ...loud...loud. The place is littered with toys and little monsters(untrained children) running all over the place. Not only that but while I was standing in an aisle browsing some books an older woman nearly ran me over with one of those wheeled walkers. I literally had to athletically jump out of the way to avoid being trampled on. Anyway I got the book and jetted out of that place pronto. I really don't think I'm ever coming back, I don't care how attractive a woman is who wants me to pick up a book order at this b & n location. read more

It's the perfect spot to get away and roam the aisles for a new book to take home. Being that this location is in a densely populated area, parking is limited to garage and meter spots. I enjoy coming here because I find great books to dive my nose into. All the sections are separated by category so finding what you want is just a quick scan away. If you have any questions, an employee is usually close by to help answer your questions. If you're not sure what you came for, let the store decide for you. The store is cozy and offers an intimate feel throughout the aisles giving you space to sort through shelves with peace of mind. Luckily, the app helps out with shopping as well and gives you the option of in-store pickup. It's always useful to expand your mind with some varied written textbooks. The day we cease to learn we also cease to exist. read more

On our visit today to the Starbucks in barnes in noble we ordered at the Cafe 20 dollars worth of food when I went to pay I only had a 100 dollar bill which I find amuzing that no where in the Cafe there's a sign posted that we do not accept hundred dollar bills horrible management. This is a horrible way to manage a business if u don't know how to look at a 100 dollar bill to look if it's real or authentic they sell inexpensive markers to check the bills but now it cost you money because the food you prepared will have to be thrown out. read more

Just a great place to find a great range of reading material including magazines - nostalgic!

"I am just here to browse, I am JUST here to browse, JUST HERE TO BROWSE" I was repeating to myself as I walked in. Of course I ended up leaving happily with a latte and two books, yes, two. How can you thrust a book addict into a bookstore and expect her NOT to walk away with something. Oh yea and as soon as I walked in the two books staring me in the face were a photo journal of Lance Armstrong (oh score) and Charlaine Harris (to indulge my trashy novel side... Eric Northman .. oh ruaur). Pleasant store, employees were quite nice, and I am a sucker for a friendly smile and genuine customer service. Ahhh now to read the books I purchased... must. Find. Time. read more

I still find it pretty unique in these American bookstores when you can pick up a book, a couple of mags a tall cup of coffee and sit at table to kill time or some self edification. This is my go to place whenever I need a recently released title, or, I wait a few months for the paper back. Anyway, you get the point, a well stocked book store with competitive prices and a cafe as a bonus ... bonus ! read more

I like to go during my break and enjoy a coffee from Starbucks and to read a book from the store , you can decide to buy it or not , but it definitely give you the chance to relax and disconnect from work . But I have to say that I like better books & books the street behind. Now also with the remodeling on miracle mile , the access by car is more complicated. read more

Not the treatment I expected at all from a large company. The problems started when I called 4 times, and nobody picked up the phone for more than 1 minute of ringing. I wanted to see the refurbished nook glow light 3. On the internet, it stated it was available in stock at the store, and available for pickup currently. Clearly stated at this location. I drove 45 minutes, since it showed in stock. It did not show on Monday, but it did show today, Thursday. When I got there, the clerk told me they do not stock them in store. They do not stock them, but it says online they do, and that there is one at THIS location? Her next answer was 'dude, we don't have them'. Verbatim. I am not your 'dude', and that is inappropriate customer service. She did not offer to call the manager, i had to ask. He said no. I asked if I could get a discount on a new one, since I drove all the way down here despite the fact it was clearly listed online. I heard him snicker on the phone as he was talking to the clerk. No. The appropriate action would have been the employee addressing me in a respectful manner, and the company owning up to the promises it makes online, by a small token, or at least coming out in person. She further said that they don't 'control online', whatever that means. It doesn't matter. You are the face of this company, and so is your website. Do not blame the leg for what the arm is doing! Me, the customer does not care to hear your excuses! I see why BN is losing customers to kindle and Amazon. I have an Oasis, and a Kobo Aura ONE le, both over $200. I was looking for a cheap, night light capable of red spectrum light ereader to take on an extended vacation so I would not have to worry about my Kobo getting stolen. I decided to give them a shot despite the inferior product. I will never buy a Nook as a result of this experience today. I will be buying a Kobo Clara for $40 more because this company will treat me right. You're not long for this world BN! read more

I had a terrible experience in the Coral Gables branch of Barnes and Noble. I pre-ordered a book online and when I went to pick it up They could not find it even though they said there were three copies left. The girl that was helping me was totally disengaged and did not do much to help. I asked her to help me calling another store to see if they had it And she wasn't even able to complete the call. Finally I asked her for the refund but quitted after a long wait . I do not recommend this store and much less to buy online, ahead of time. read more

Books and coffee, what is there not to like? The only thing I like more than eating is a good book. After Borders went belly-up Barnes & Noble became my favorite bookstore. I come here sometimes to browse or sit for a while enjoying a good cup of coffee. The store is generally clean and the staff is nice, they're happy to help you hunt down a book. read more

Rudest staff ever ! The girl at customer service needs a couple of lessons in exactly how to service customers! After I was sent there because I had to pick up a book that I ordered I line and paid for online... totally ignored me and walked off with a coworker laughing and speaking foul language. After standing at customer service for 15 minutes she finally comes back and takes care of another customer that arrived AFTER me. I asked her it's just to pick up please help me and ignored me completely. People like that shouldn't work anywhere that the public needs assistance read more
