I love this Barnes and Noble! It's set up is easy to navigate and find the books you want. I got a Totoro backpack and it is such high quality, perfect for a gift . I know that the mystery books , children's picture books, and the manga are always stocked because I frequent these aisles. I like buying gifts here because you find unique pens, bookmarks, crochet kits. I like their buy one, get one price for cookies they have sometimes. Great deal! Staff is always great. Parking is ample. This one is in a mall. It's worth the trip! read more

Barnes and Noble - Totoro merch - Bookstores Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

It seems as though my previous review disappeared as I have frequented this store for over a decade. I recall my children being young, so definitely a long time. The business listing shows four years is the culprit. They are much older than this and somehow the old business listing was replaced. In my opinion this is the best of the chain in the 757. Why, because you also have the mall and it's not just a one off trip. The store is located on an end by Dicks Sporting Goods. So it's easy to park and go in. They offer the largest children's area of the chain on the Southside. It's well maintained, but now somewhat dated after a renovation probably ten years ago. Staff has been friendly over the years. The price in store is the same online and can save shipping and time. They also offer a very small coffee shop and sandwiches and bakery items. This is not a draw to the store, it's too small. I will continue to shop them. read more

Barnes and Noble is my favorite bookstore in Virginia Beach. They have the best customer service. The store even sells more books than Target. I would love to shop there again because it is a store filled in information. read more

I really like this location. The employees are nice, and they've got good variety. I love their manga section as well as their pop culture section. I will warn you, the k-pop albums in this Barnes & Nobles are wrapped up in (packing?) tape (which makes me kind of skeptical of buying them). Other than that, it's great! Probably my favorite Barnes & Nobles out of all of the locations I've visited. read more

This store should absolutely be shut down!! I am a practitioner of the Asatru Faith. Apparently, any reference books or literature related to any religion, other than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, have been moved to the fiction section. When asked why the books of my faith had been moved to fiction, I was told that my faith should not be a religion. Currently debating my options for a lawsuit against this store in particular, as most other Barnes & Noble stores have all religion related books within the same section and does not degrade other Faiths to "fiction." read more

I believe this one is the best of all the Barnes & Noble. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. They even have a cafe inside. Will be returning. read more

Finally, a place I can come to and study! Since this pandemic, I haven't been able to find a place to get away and review my study materials. I came in to grab a hot beverage and planned to return to my car to study while my cousins shopped the mall, but was pleasantly surprised that the café's seating area was open. There were a total of 5 tables with two seats at each. They were in their designated spots with markings on the floor. There was also a little sign on the table to limit your time at the table to 30 minutes for other customers to have a chance to sit. I honestly sat their longer, but would've got up if I noticed people wanting to sit. There was always one or two tables open and available for other's to sit at. As people came and gone, I watched the worker sanitize the seating tables down between each customers. The floor is also marked with X to give it's customers guidance on social distancing. There is a plexiglass at the cash register that also helps with maintaining soicial distancing between workers and customers. The lady that worked the café was courteous and kind. I had a great experience. read more

Good and big bookstore, good service as well. Some deals and recommendations are easily found in their shelves. There are a lot of sections of books and music. Books in other languages are only available in spanish. They also have a coffee shop inside. Hope it was more modern looking. Towncenter Barnes & Noble is renovated and it looks great! read more

Barnes and Noble - Bookstores Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ok! Honestly I detest going to a book store. Why? Although I'm an avid reader, in recent years found time to read very little and notoriously fall asleep while reading a fantastic book. In the past when I walk out of a bookstore, I find myself spending $250.00 bucks buying new books. Classics, pop fiction, non fiction, just books! Until one day I took books I knew the rest of the family wouldn't read to a consignment store. They once told me No More Paperback Books! Oh well. I tried to find other ways to get rid of them. read more

I understand more than anyone wanting to leave your job at the end of the night, that being said an employee should never leave attitude out on a patron regardless of how tired you are. It is my understanding that if you close at 6, employees should be working until that time. An employee with blonde hair and thick black glasses gave us attitude and refused to help us quickly sign up for the teacher card when there was ten minutes left until the store closed. She herself said that it would take less than five minutes but refused to help, while also giving us immense attitude and rolling her eyes. We asked if it would save us money and she acknowledged that it would, but implied that they wouldn't be helping us. This is how you lose customers. read more

While on vacation in Virginia Beach, I decided I "needed a new book to read; looked for the nearest Barnes and Noble where the largest selections exist! Encountered amazing helpers that led me to correct location. FOUND my book, and upon checking out we had the nicest young woman who was friendly and offered us a promise going on! Never go wrong with Barnes and Noble! Thanks, a five star experience!! read more

This bookstore is located right at Lynnhaven Mall with access from the parking lot and access from within the mall. It has a large selection of books for all ages as well as other items such as toys, book marks, stationary, mugs, and other gifts. The children's side of the store is very large and the books start for children as small as baby/toddler age. In the middle of the store you will find many small tables with different themes including the highly sought for "BookToc" table. The store recently went through a layout change so each genre now has its books shelves laid out in a "U" shape to give that private area for each genre. Some of those areas have chairs to lounge in. There also is a Starbucks on one side of the store which offers many yummy beverages (I had an amazing one), very professional but kind staff, and quite a bit of seating. The employees of the Barnes and Noble also were very friendly and professional. The store overall was clean and organized. read more
