    Awesome thank you cards I picked up during my visit
    Dean W.

    I miss brick and mortar bookstores - so was stoked to hear that Barnes and Noble opened up shop here at The Block of Orange (or whatever its called now). After watching Avatar 3 at the AMC in the same shopping mall, I wandered around the place trying to find Barnes and Nobles. Holy crap. For a store that was built recently - they really failed at design when they decide to implement it so there's NO direct walkway from the mall to the storefront. You literally have to walk around the outer perimeter of the mall to get here. You can see it from In N Out, but it's flanked by the Nike Store and Bloomingdales. Location aside - it's a beautiful store. High ceilings create an airy flow, but the store layout and sections are well-designed, creating warm and cozy nooks throughout the store. The magazine section is probably the smallest I've seen in a B&N (compared to say, the one at Bella Terra). There's a B&N cafe here - with ample offerings and seating. Service was wonderful throughout my visit! I chatted with several staff members - sharing the excitement of a brand new store (mentioning that it still had that "new store/new book" smell to it. Apparently they've only been open since Black Friday 2025. Lots of cute little sections, including several coves dedicated to stationary, gifts, greeting cards, and artwork. I was able to snag a nice boxed set of thank you cards here. Prices are fair - I mean, it's mostly List price here, since they do have a physical storefront and thus, upkeep/overhead. There are bargain-priced books throughout the store, and their membership does offer 10% off the store & cafe - at $40/yr. Checkout was a bit long - only two clerks upfront with a line about six customers deep. Overall, a nice little visit as I was looking forward to checking out this spot. I'll just know where to park closer now, so I don't have to navigate through the entire mall just to get here.

    I returned to this Barnes and Noble after yelp removed my first review saying it did not reflect an actual experience (which I view as the same as calling me a liar). It was not a positive review as I was treated rudely, the details of which I will not repeat as apparently I am not allowed to write about it. So I specifically returned to buy something just to prove I was really there and had an actual shopping experience. On my return visit, I took photos of the interior of the store and also a photo of my credit card billing (to show I made a purchase) as visual proof to satisfy both yelp and the business. On my return visit, I saw that they had books. Also lots of other stuff that were not books. I needed a calendar. They had a few on a rack and I chose one. I bought it for a little over $18 with tax. $18. For a calendar.

    We are very happy that Barnes & Noble reopened again at the Block. The store is very modern and it has many new collections especially Lego, Calico Critters, blind boxes and more. The prices are reasonable like other bookstores. Some blind boxes are more expensive than other stores in the mall so make sure you shop around first. The Starbucks inside this store does not accept Startbucks Rewards so get the Barnes & Nobles Rewards if you have not done so. The staff are very nice and friendly. It's always nice to sit and relax during your shopping trips :)

    I am thrilled to see a bookstore open up at this mall! There was one other brand bookstore here before, back when it first opened, and so glad there's finally another! Along with books, they also sell movies and music. I was absolutely surprised to see the book Cooking Con Claudia, which is my newest cook that I follow. There are so many great options for the whole family!

    If you like to read, listen to music, journal, write letters , buy gifts for people of all ages , this is your place !!! This was my first time at this location and I was pleasantly surprised! It was very busy for a Friday afternoon , other customers were friendly . There is also a nice Starbucks inside the book store so you can take a quick break from shopping or go to work on your computer (many customers were using their computer or tablet) very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. They also had a reading selection you could purchase for $5.00 if you bought any item from the Starbucks , a nice perk ! I am so happy to see a new book store and so many customers!!

    See all

Firstly, I searched their online inventory website for the desired books. Website reported books in stock but were not on selves. The staff couldn't locate them either and said they would update the inventory. So the inventory site is unreliable. Secondly, upon ringing me up for $20, I produced the voucher thinking it would cover the entire cost. Unfortunately, it is only good for half the price of your purchase. When I expressed my confusion about this policy. The tall crotchety old man raised his voice and loudly repeated: "Good for HALF the purchase!" Sir there is no only else inside the store. It's not loud in there. I was your only customer all afternoon. There was no need to raise your voice at me. How embarrassing to get to the ripe old age of grey and still be throwing tantrums at paying customers no less! I should have left the store without purchasing anything but I was just so stunned! I understand that I failed to thoroughly read the small text at the bottom of the voucher that explains their policy. The old man could have simply referred to the text on the voucher instead of displaying such disrespectful behavior. Take your business elsewhere because your patronage is obviously not valued here.

But when I got to meet some of the owners at the Festival of Books, I was encouraged to visit and I am so glad I was influenced. The bookstore is located in Downtown Tustin. There is plenty of street parking but it does get busy during the weekend. There are some parking lots but you may have to walk a bit. The actual bookstore has its own lot but it is small. The store itself is really cute and cozy. They have a good amount of bestsellers, new books, and mildly used books. Prices are great and don't break the bank. Books are in good condition which is also a plus. They have some really cute merchandise too. From T-shirts, totes, and other items for book lovers. Inside the store, there is also a coffee shop but I unfortunately did not try it out since I had just finished my cup. Make sure to follow them on Instagram or join the mailing list because they host a lot of events that are great. Also, keep an eye out for the OC Book Fair in November since they will be there. Overall, great bookstore and in a pretty cool area. This spot is great for a weekend trip after having brunch and finding your next great read. I will be back!
