These days, Barnes & Noble Booksellers began a promotion. When your book is purchased, you will get the receipt, and if you buy a cookie at this Starbucks, you will be able to get one more cookie.

So I actually came here for a book club meeting, which was great…read more As a cafe it's slow. The lemon cake was not like your typical Starbucks Lemon loaf. And this cafe isn't really a Starbucks but a pseudo cafe of sorts. As a book store it's pretty good, lots of books and trinkets and whole kids area.

Seeing various games made me purchase all kinds I would have not other wise. I was looking for a specific game and the staff was knowledgeable and knew exactly where it was. My only side note to make it better is to have a experiment table we're kids or adults can try out various puzzles or games and also find a way to get most of the theory 11 playing cards sets . Unless I order the exact set online it's like trying to find a Pokémon throughout anchorage superstores. I asked the salesman's and he said they can only get a limited shipment in at a time.

The staff is friendly and helpful, but not pushy. The store has an excellent selection of R/C vehicles, trains, and plastic model kits and paints/accessories. I found some long out of production kits I have not seen in years. Thank you shop staff and especially Mark for answering my questions about your products. The next time I visit anchorage I'll be back for sure :)

I left with art I couldn't leave without, stickers for my daughter, glue sticks and of course sequins. I had TWO coupons and they stacked so I felt like I really got my moneys worth. I also love a good sale which they always have so that was nice, though I think that's how they're designed to sell. The store was organized, newly arranged just slightly and full of lovely arrivals. I don't really celebrate holidays but if I did this a where id be buying decorations from. The cashier at the front was nice, and patient with me. My only caution is that there are so many people who drive too fast in the parking lot and don't pay enough attention. So I'll be back. Plus they have fabrics.

I have not really interacted with any staff at this store, but being introverted I like it like this. Checkout is nice and quick since it is a self service kiosk. I love how I am able to rack up points and get coupons quickly. My only critique would be that I wish the store was bigger, but they are still the best priced craft store in town.
