Service - selection ! And value all excellent & I highly recommend this place! I always find exactly what I am looking for!

Long Live Barnes & Noble! Seriously, bookstores as a whole are becoming increasingly extinct...with so many e-book readers out there, our local book stores are literally disappearing out of thin air. Personally, I've made a vow to never succumb...I will always love the smell, feel and touch of a "real" book in my hands. For me, there's nothing better than turning page after page without a click or a swipe...it's all about the real deal. I love perusing the aisles as I check out the latest from my fav authors, cookbooks, magazines and more as I plot my purchases. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is happy and relaxed; and you may hear a giggle or two of kids in the back as they're being read one of their favorite stories. As an added bonus there's a B&N Café inside that features a variety of Starbucks coffees and beverages. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends, your book club, or whoever for a cup of joe and some eats! read more

Reading is my favorite pastime. Since I typically read at least 50 books a year and still prefer actual books to digital devices, B&N gets a good bit of my free cash. I've been visiting this particular location ever since I was a kid. It's around the corner from the Deptford Mall and is often fairly busy. The layout itself is easy to navigate. Nook info is up front (I always bypass that). You'll also find new titles near the front, as well as gift items. I prefer the travel and contemporary fiction and literature sections, and I can never leave without buying at least one book. More realistically, three to five titles. Check out is usually simple and bathrooms are clean enough. There is also a Starbucks when you enter to the right. read more

So they've added more cafe seating to the store, which is definitely a big plus. But they also have a large Nook display as well, so the actual space for books keeps shrinking. A sign of the times? At any rate, I usually visit the Barnes & Noble to keep the kid occupied during inclement weather, so it doesn't bother me too much. Between the Starbucks, the large magazine display & the kid's section, we can keep ourselves amused here for at least an hour. The major draw for the little ones (boys at least) is the really nice Thomas train track set-up on a table that always has plenty of trains to play with. I'm sure these trains end up in pockets because there are always different ones on the table every few months. So kudos to them for sucking it up & making sure the kids always have trains on the table. They also have a Lego table for the little ones. Otherwise, there is always plenty of fun stuff to browse from clearance tables to puzzles to kid's toys & more. Parking is good and you can get in & out pretty easily by going the back way, avoiding the mall area. read more

I barely even (b/c I'm so busy!) read but love this place anyway. I can get lost in the new age section - astrology!!!! I also like the 'Dummies' series and their game area. They have a great kids section and I absolutely love their clearance section of table top books and others. Although it's a sickening thought right now, I do admit looking through the 50% off Christmas cards! 2016 calendars were also half off, but I couldn't decide between the Inuit one or the hummingbirds or frogs one, so I passed on all. The employees are always helpful and make good suggestions. read more

I like this B&N more than the others in the area, such as Marlton. It's my go to bookstore. The staff is usually pretty friendly. It sometimes takes awhile for someone to help you at the help desk, though. The selection of books is very general. You won't find any specialty books here really. I came here last week looking for an anthology of critical essays on Hemingway's writings, and they had no anthologies at all! Hemingway is a famous American author, I was expecting to find more resources here. There is a Starbucks in this location, but you can't use your starbucks rewards or even giftcards here, it's super lame and inconvenient. You can only use B&N giftcards, cash, or credit. If you have a B&N member card, it does take 20% your starbucks purchase though. They offer different food from a typical starbucks as well. They just have starbucks drinks and an unrelated assortment of food. Cakes from the Cheesecake Factory, cupcakes, paninis, cookies, pastries, etc. They don't sell the k cups either. Minimal seating area, which I think could be expanded to welcome more readers and students studying. If you need a common book and don't have time to wait for shipping, this is a good option, bottom line. read more

Let me start by saying I NEVER leave reviews, but this place is such an important part of my day that I downloaded the app just to tell you guys how good the coffee is. The baristas here are so good at making coffee and so so sweet. I work next door and I can't wait until my break to go and get my flat white, it always makes my day!! 10/10 would recommend read more

I love cafe at Barnes & Noble , customer service always good until now . I order two cheese cake and coffee for two people. I ask for eat in . They gives me cakes on same plate I mean two cakes on one plate . When I tell them my friend sitting on different table. Answer is we have only one plate for this order , if you need extra plate wait for One hours. Felling upset wanna cancel my order. But my friend stop me to fight with them. Also gives us plastic forks ( use to be real forks) . So for we eat the Separate cake but we share the plate. Feel uncomfortable. Promise to myself never coming back . Recommending all my friends don't come here. read more

It's quiet enough to read yet allows a conversation. It's your typical Barnes and Noble retail priced books with a wide range of assortment. I have not yet stumbled across a sought out title not available. Plus of course you could just order it online. Employees are always nice and helpful. I mean no one wants to always be at work, but they always seem patient and happy. The cafe is cool, I don't go there too often but grab a book and have a seat there or anywhere around the store. Chairs and benches are available throughout. The vibe is just different from a library. read more

I really like this location. Plus, it's close to home. Just like any other Barnes and Noble - SURPRISE! - they have books. It's always freezing in there for some reason which is annoying, but I always come back so it must not be that bad. Great selection, and things are fairly easy to find. Whatever you can't find, you can either ask someone that works there or use the book locator computer thing-a-ma-what's-its. I like the cafe and often do work, read, or even do interviews there. The bathroom is the worse part... I still don't understand who these people with no home training are that miss the toilet and leave it there while subsequently ripping all of the toilet paper down and throwing around wet paper towels, but they frequent this store often... read more

I worked at this Barnes and Noble for over five years, so I guess it's only appropriate that I get to steal its Yelp virginity. Here goes nothing with the pros and cons... Cons -- 1. Just like any other Barnes and Noble, this is a corporation intent on devouring smaller, family-owned stores that stand in its way. 2. The CDs are incredibly over priced. 3. The bathroom frequently falls into lax conditions, as my fellow co-workers often avoiding their duty in keeping it clean. 4. The air conditioner is on way too high in the summer. And the pros -- 1. Though the CDs are overpriced, you will get what you pay for with the service. I worked in Music and can assure you that all of the staff there will do everything in their power to get the CD that you are looking for. If you have money and you're a huge music snob, you might want to make this your CD store. As an added bonus, most of the staff have backgrounds in music, theatre, etc., so they know what they're talking about. Well, there's not many other pros that you don't already know about with a typical Barnes and Noble corporation. read more

Spend most time in the multimedia department so I'm basing rating on this. Quite a few empty spaces on merchandising walls and endcaps. Just in the Criterion section numerous and obvious movies with torn shrinkwrap and one on display with some lovely scotch tape keeping the wrap on....classy. read more

I don't do book stores any longer. I used to. I used to be the ideal customer: buy plenty of books, buy the crap/cheapo books, but the accessories, etc. No longer. I buy nothing in these places. I read entirely digitally now. But my children enjoy real book stores and I am willing to cater to them to ensure they are readers. To that end, this is a fine experience. But the thing is, the place really only handles bestsellers. Nothing niche. My daughter likes manga, and B&N has manga, but only the manga everyone begins with. You want something else, it's not in the store. My son likes graphic novels. Same deal there. Want mysteries? Really only the "top" books. And the rest of the store is replete with crap. It is what it tries to be, but it doesn't suit this customer at all. read more

I've been to this store before. Every time I come here, the service is really good. They pretty much have all types of books, you name it, they got it. They sell CDs, DVDs. They got a café. I've never ordered anything from there but it's a convenience. read more

This is a solid B&N. It's a huge store, so they always have great stock. Starbucks inside is nice, too, and they let me use my mom's educator's discount without a problem. read more

Don't be pretentious. I could get my books from Amazon without worrying about the clerk's overreaction to me not wanting to be in the club. I honestly thought he was joking, so dramatic. First time anyone ever was that rude. Then again, the clerk at the customer service desk put a customer on hold, rolled her eyes at another customer and said "some people, I can't get anything done". Like I said, Amazon. Then us customers won't be bothering you read more

Always a pleasant experience! Kris was a big help and I can't thank her enough for her excellent customer service!

This review is based solely on the Starbucks cafe in the Barnes and noble. The bookstore itself is fine, friendly staff and my son loves the kids section, specifically the train set. I've ordered drinks here before and it never compares to an actual Starbucks, but my experience yesterday was horrendous. I ordered a grande iced coffee with light cream - pretty easy drink. I got my order and there is literally not one ice cube in my "iced coffee" and a lot of cream. So I go back to the counter and ask about the ice. The girl takes it from me and says she'll remake it. I kindly ask her to add more coffee too bc it was too much cream. (Side note, I have a 7mo baby and 2yo with me). She remakes my drink and there's more cream in it then last time - I couldn't even taste the coffee, all I tasted was cream. So once again I go back to the counter and tell the girl there's way too much cream and I ordered LIGHT cream. She was very rude and told me "this is why customers are supposed to put their own cream in their coffee" and walked away. She remade my drink, threw it on the counter and walked away. Didn't say a word. I've never experienced such rude customer service. Especially at a Starbucks where they pride themselves in making your drink CORRECTLY and exactly how you want it. So the final drink had a lot less cream, but the coffee was almost translucent and tasted watered down. I couldn't even drink it. I threw it out and left I was so mad. I wish I had asked for a manager or at least gotten my money back. I will never go back to this location. If a manager reads this, feel free to contact me. read more

Love the book Yeshua, my prince charming by Audrey Brown

The first time I wrote this review it was all over the place with pros and cons, but I threw it out and went to this list because it was confusing to read. Anywho, here's the list. Good: 1. Plenty of parking, especially now that the rest of the shopping center is on its way out. 2. Usually a short wait when buying something at checkout. 3. Cool odds and ends section of gifts and what have you. 4. Usually a very pleasant cafe staff. (one dude clearly doesn't dig my style, but whatevs). 5. Lots of books, magazines, and other forms of published reading material! Bad: 1. The mens room is often in deplorable conditions. We don't care if there's dust in there, but a mountain of paper towels, toilet paper, and god knows what else overflowing onto the floor from a soviet-era trash can (can trash you!) is a bit much. 2. You've decided to cover your electrical outlets in the cafe. Granted I periodically lurched over my laptop for an hour (two at most) once in while, but it was at most once a month, and I don't go to stores during peak hours, so I was never a nuisance in that regard. It's one of those "one time I had a life now I do nothing in public" things you do when you're not cool anymore and find being at home surprisingly distracting and depressing. Have you considered that your your tablets and readers for your e-reading platform (that is falling behind the Kindle) can now be purchased in a store but not charged or used in the store upon purchase now? You're kicking a major perk of having a brick and mortar presence in the face with that move. You know, the part where you encourage people to use your branded tech products in your own store. I know that retail has a long tradition of backwards and off-putting strategies. I mean sure, we all remember the Gateway days, where you'd buy a cow box with a laptop in it, and they'd beat you up and steal it back from you in the parking lot, while making those noises cows and the like are oft to make, on your way back to the Volvo, but I expected better from a bookstore. "How do I set up this awesome Nook HD tablet?" "Well, first, leave the store immediately." Cue the "sorry I annoyed you" meme "with my reading". I've loved Barnes and Noble pretty much my entire adolescent and adult life. I've bought countless drinks, books, and weird gifts from you. I own a Nook simple touch and a Nook HD+. I enjoy them both. I've bought several books from your ebook store. But it's kinda awkward to hang out there, when I walk in with my laptop, look for an outlet, and boom, suddenly I'm Amish. Just saying, you bummed me out, and I probably won't be there as often, ergo I won't spend as much money there. I remember the first time I saw a gutted out Borders bookstore. It was genuinely awful. read more

Good selection. Have gone there to shop and to meet a study group. Great atmosphere for both

Took my son for another visit today. The service at the cafe was painfully slow. I was third in line and waited a good 20 mins with a very impatient 2 year old. The people behind the counter were moseying around as if there wasn't a line of 6 people in front of them. The cashier generally is the food maker while there is a separate person for drinks. This makes absolutely no sense since they're handling money and then the food! Today's cashier was a young man with very long floppy hair in his face that he continually swiped away from his forehead. Then went to prepare food!! Because of this, I decided against ordering food and only purchased my sons chocolate milk that he had already opened, which was the only reason why we stayed in this ridiculous line. The cafe was also extremely crowded with tables, chairs and displays that I could barely walk get to the fridge or food display case. Service here is getting very poor for some reason, so I've downgraded my number of stars. :( read more

This is not directed at the Barnes & Noble itself but at the excuse for a Starbucks that is over charging for their drinks. If you are buying a bigger size make sure you get the right amount that every other Starbucks provides. Keep an eye out on your totals everyone!!! read more

I love Barnes and Noble and grew up going there. They always have the book I'm"m looking for, or one that I'm"m not, and if they don't they can have it in within a few days. Close to home and good to either stop in quickly or take sometime to browse. Prices are fair with a large range of topics to explore. read more

I have been a teacher for over 24 years and have never had an issue with my issued educators card from B&N. Today, I was treated VERY rudely by Angel at the Deptford NJ store. I had received an email to renew my already issued educators card which I attempted to do so today. However, Angel told me that my school picture identification along with my picture district identification, previous educators card, state issued education card etc. He told me that I needed to provide him with a pay check in addition to all other means of identification proof. I have never been asked for a cashier to see my pay check, nor do I carry around a state paycheck since they are all generated electronically through the state department of education. Also, this is in full violation of my privacy for a cashier to view and copy my personal paycheck which includes my salary, social security number, benefits, personal information of where I reside and much more confidential information. This also is in full violation of ethics for FERPA of a state worker of a public employee especially with all of the concerns over personal identities being stolen. Angel and the cashier next to him were beyond rude and laughing at my husband and I. They refused to get the store manager, give us a costumer service number or give us the discount using my previous educator card along with 5 different means of identification. The cashier next to Angel said " I wouldn't give them any contact information". Isnt that a hypocritical statement in that I didn't want to release a copy of my paycheck for the above obvious reasons and was mocked and laughed at but your store employees refused to give up costumer service information that is public, not private like my pay check. I did not receive the $7.30 discount from my $77.86 purchase. I will never return to this store and will order my books and educational needs from Amazon, Target and numerous other stores that welcome educators with a provided discount. I would like to be contacted to discuss this further and would like my discount credited back to me. The Deptford store should be embarrassed having cashiers such as the 2 I dealt with today as their behavior and demeanor was rude, demoralizing and unprofessional especially as many costumers purchase books this time of the year and many teacher purchase books for gifts for their students and for donations. read more

I am a long time customer at this Barnes & Noble. Today I witnessed something in the cafe that may make me not come back. A lady (that had purchased an expensive coffee) took out a snack of hers to eat while studying. A manager I presume, walks up to her in a cafe FULL of people and loudly embarrasses her telling her to put her food away, that it was not in the rules of the store for outside food. I understand rules, but NO WHERE in the store does it say that one cannot bring out a snack of their own. This was completely uncalled for, especially the way the manager went about it. She did not have to be rude and basically let EVERYONE in the cafe know what was going in. This customer DID purchase items from the cafe. It is not her fault that she could not eat everything offered at the cafe. She has many food allergies that prevent her from doing so. This to me is discrimination and harassment. She just lost not one, but two customers today. I would add the manager's name to this, but she conveniently had her "special service badge" flipped. read more
