There's a huge selection of Loungefly backpacks but when we went, even with the sale online, the backpacks in store were full price. However, if you're there for books and enjoy bargains, there's a lot on clearance. The cashier working there was friendly and asked if we needed any help.

You don't see too many brick and mortar book stores around anymore which is why I am glad that…read moreBooks-A-Million has been able to hang in there at the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Books-A-Million has a long history going all the way back to 1917 in Florence, Alabama, when 14 year old Clyde W. Anderson began a news stand business to support his family after the death of his father. From these humble beginnings Clyde's son, Charles C. Anderson expanded the books store left to him by his father into a chain of stores. Today they are the second largest chain of book stores in the U.S. operating close to 300 stores in more than 30 state. Books-A-Million is bright and inviting. They have a large selection of books from classics to the latest bestseller and periodicals but they also sell games, greeting cards, toys, T-shirts, collectibles, candy, house hold goods, collectibles, and more. I especially love their Florida section. This is the kind of store where it is easy to find a gift for that hard to shop for person. I have purchased a lot of presents here through the years as well as the latest beach book. I always discover something unique whenever I stop in. You can order books online but there is something so satisfying about going into a bookstore and holding the books in your hands as you make your decision. That is why this is always a top stop in the mall for me.

I know buying a physical book and having a library is a thing of the past, and perhaps i am showing…read moremy age when I say this, but I love books. The actual physical books. The excitement when you buy a book, the feel of the cover, is it leather, does it have a dust jack, and if it does then the illustration on the dust jacket, the smell of a brand new book, that creaking noise it makes when you open it for the first time,... There is a whole experience with books that the new generation may never know. And the best place to look for a book, buy it or just read it while you are sipping a cup of coffee has always been Barnes and Noble. There is nothing like it.

They also serve my favorite drink, the Strawberry Refresher. All the pastries and empanadas are baked and offered directly by Barnes & Noble which is a secret that now has been leaked. Access is simple off University Drive and has lots of handicap spaces in front of the bookstore. Most people like me are in the cafe reading books. Not many couches in the bookstore.

Pleasantly surprised at this adorable store at the Sawgrass mall! Located around some higher end…read moreplaces such as Gucci, this place definitely is worth the time to look at, even for a few moments. It's a nice little toy store that specializes in calenders. They have basically any calender design or idea you can possibly think of, like star wars but with cats instead, cluck off that is nothing but roosters and chicken, and just adorable pets or more adult geared calenders. They also have an amazing selection of puzzles that range from toddler to puzzles with over 1000 pieces! They have spongebob, disney, Harry Potter and even a funny face mask puzzle I would've gotten if not for the box being damaged. Only concern was we were not addressed once, when I walked in, the two workers just stopped talking, looked at me then began to talk to each other again without acknowledging me at all. A few of their items can also be bought cheaper at target or Walmart as well. Overall a nice little store though but it seemed like everything was just thrown on shelves

As far as a comic store goes, this place pretty much checks off all the boxes you want. They carry…read morecomic books, graphic novels, action figures, artwork, collectibles & the list goes on. They have a huge amount of space inside their store & they utilize every inch. I like how their sections are relatively organized by category, although it can get a bit overwhelming with just how much they have. Everywhere you look there's display cases loaded with figures & bookshelves filled out. They have the best selection of comic books in south Florida, by far. When it comes to quantity & variety they have a great offering. Horror, superheroes, sci-fi, anime; they have some of everything. They keep a nice stock in their weekly release section & carry a lot of sought-after series. While they don't carry every cover variant, they do a good job at having at least a couple for most issues. The workers are usually pretty friendly. They offer help looking for items in their massive store & will point you in the right direction if you have any questions. I've never once had a bad experience in all the years I've been visiting. As good as they are, I have 2 complaints. First off, they're sometimes a bit overpriced. Whether it be an action figure or certain comic, there's been times where I've found them pricing things $2-$15 over market value. While get it's a business, I hate finding something here only to realize I can get it online cheaper. I'm ALWAYS for supporting local businesses but unfortunately it dissuades that. Lastly, sometimes I'll look for a series to start & they'll only have issues #2 & on. While it's not that big of a problem, I always grab issue #1 before any others so this'll cause me to skip out. Usually, however, this doesn't happen often. Overall, Tate's is the place for all your comic & collectible needs. There's not much more to ask for considering their good service, up-to-date selections & large variety. Also, be sure to check out their art gallery upstairs. They carry tons of stickers, prints, originals & crafts from local artists!

From a tiny shop to an Eisner Award-winning giant, Tate's Comics is Florida's comic book cathedral…read more Walking into Tate's Comics for the first time is one of those life-altering, jaw-to-the-floor moments -- and for me, that was over 20 years ago. I still remember "Old Man Tate" greeting people with that mix of humor, knowledge, and genuine warmth that made you feel like you weren't just walking into a comic shop, you were walking into a community. He was a real gem of a man, an educator in his own right, and the heartbeat of the place. I still miss him. But here's the beauty: his son has carried the mantle and turned Tate's into nothing less than a comic book Mecca. What started as a small neighborhood shop has exploded into what is hands-down the best comic book store in the state of Florida -- and yes, I'd put it up against most in the country too. Don't just take my word for it: Tate's won the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award, basically the Oscar for comic shops. That's how legendary this place is. The store itself is massive, sprawling, and beautifully curated. Comics, graphic novels, manga, collectibles, action figures, statues, vinyl toys, rare finds -- it's like a nerd's cathedral, filled with treasures in every aisle. You could spend hours here and still miss something. The staff? Friendly, helpful, and never gatekeep-y. Whether you're a hardcore collector, a casual reader, or just holiday shopping for that "special geek in your life," they make you feel welcome. When it comes to value, Tate's is unbeatable. Sure, you can buy comics or toys online, but here you get fair prices, expert advice, and the thrill of discovering something new on the shelves. From single-issue comics to high-end collectibles, they strike that perfect balance of competitive pricing and curated quality. The fact that you can walk in with twenty bucks and leave happy -- or drop a couple hundred on a rare statue -- shows the range they cover. It's proof that value isn't just about price; it's about the experience of shopping in a place where every dollar feels well spent. It's also a great spot for holiday shopping. Where else can you grab a signed graphic novel, a rare toy, and a quirky enamel pin all in one place? It's basically Santa's workshop if Santa was obsessed with Batman, Funko Pops, and Gundam models. If I had one wish, it'd be for them to host more events -- comic signings, meetups, gaming nights. That sense of community was always the soul of Tate's, and while the shop is still thriving, those moments made it magical. Tate's Comics is more than a store. It's history, it's family, it's a legacy. Old Man Tate laid the foundation, his son built the empire, and the rest of us are lucky enough to shop there. Come for the comics, stay for the legacy, and leave knowing you just visited a place where heroes don't just live on the page -- they built the shop.
