They have a whole Starbucks cafe off to the side, which is always a lovely combo. Coffee & books? Yep, I'm there. Along with a wide sprawl of book genres, they have a lego section, puzzles and other board games, toys and fun things for the kiddos, and so much more. We spent probably close to an hour just walking around in here and enjoying it all, and it could've been even longer. The prices are still a little higher than is reasonable in my mind, but you have to expect that coming to a Barnes & Noble. They did have a few sales here when I came, though, and one was on some collector Harry Potter books which I couldn't resist. This is a great addition to the University Town Center area.

From the moment you walk in, your eyes will be amazed, bye all the vintage goodies they have here! When we first walked in, we saw all the different collectibles from vintage Gretzky dolls, to a huge vintage Star Wars section, Marvel like Thor, Captain America, Black Panther,, DC comic toys, Batman, and Wonder Woman, they also had vintage Bugs Bunny collectables like cookie jars, Vintage Barbie dolls, vintage comic books, vintage Pokémon cards. I was so excited to find vintage Disney toys and collectibles and Muppet stuff, so cool! Also Funko pop. They also have new toys and toys for all ages. And then I kept walking and I saw very old vintage toys, including snap guns and vintage hot wheel cars, the old tin metal toys from like the 40s and 50s brought back so many memories. My dad had those toys when he was a kid so cool. And then I turned the corner and all of a sudden I see Lego toys all type of vintage ones. Also vintage lunchboxes. We had a wonderful experience. We had a nice long talk with the owner sons. They were so kind and funny. They made us feel so welcome and they helped us a lot. They have a toy museum in the back which is separate from the store, but didn't get to view the museum yet, just saw a little sneak peek and it looks so cool! And the prices here are really reasonable. They really care about the customers and we can see that they had life long customers that come in. There's parking right in front of the store, and access to bathrooms with no problem. We definitely will be back our new favorite store in Sarasota!
