It's locally owned and the owner is always there. He is very knowledgeable about the books he has for sale. I love browsing book stores but the ones that are part of a chain generally have the same boring mainstream books. Literarity is clean, well lit and the books are organized by topic. Fiction is sorted by author name so it's easy to find books if you're going to get a specific book or want to check for books by a specific author. I highly recommend this store!

So I need a final gift for a late Christmas get together and I was ordering online but as I'm doling the search I saw it was in stock and available at the local B&N at The Fountains so I think HEY! I'll just go get it now! It's about 2:30. Well I haven't graced their doors in Years! So as you walk in there is a "help desk" and I think hey ask them, it's better than wandering around for 20 minutes searching for that section. So I go up to the desk and ask the lady where the Bible's are and she says follow me ... and I do. And of course it's like Going to Costco for a Rotisserie Chicken... they are all the way in the back. Good move using the help desk. Because I'd have thought the most famous book ever in print would be closer to the front but I was wrong. I thanked the lady an began to peruse the section for the one or one like what I wanted ... I found 2-3 I wanted to sit down and compare... there was a one chair at the end of that book stack. So I did sit a minute and go thru some pages the I remembered seeing another one on the shelf I wanted to see if it had red lettering .. so I got up and went to get it and came back to the chair and now a lady was sitting in it, playing games on her phone. So I'm standing there with 3 books looking for a chair.. I wander around, all thru the kids area, all thru several other stack of books and sections, no chairs period. It appears the Bible section chair is the ONLY chair in the back of the place... as you go back forward I found just 2 more chairs, occupied. Back in the day, years ago when I was a semi regular at B&N, there were chairs everywhere! At the ends of all the stacks. There was even a lot of chairs in the children's area for reading circles. Today I saw People on walkers and canes trying to shop, who I bet would have appreciated a lowly CHAIR to sit in and read a paragraph or two, to decide if they wanted to buy the book or not... that's what it used to be about at B&N, reading... and getting SA book to take home... oh sure you could TRY to hobble all the way BACK to the front of the mammoth store to the Starbucks cafe and sit there but it's full of teens laughing and giggling & drinking free water and head some adult readers but the on is the tables are all full and it's noisy boisterous, with coffee machines bubbling and spewing. And all you want is nice semi quiet place to sit and look at the book a few moments, without having someone steal it so they can sit and play telephone games. So anyway, I make my choice and move to the front to pay and leave.... There are, I counted 17 people in line to check out. One cashier. Now the help desk has 5 ladies. But not the checkout. 4 days after Christmas. When people are making exchanges, cashing in gift cards and Barnes Bucks or whatever they are called that kids save up for every time they buy books... or toys they earn points they can cash in, if they can find their account or card for new toys or books... you learn a lot of this by over hearing as you stand in line for 40 MINUTES waiting to simply buy the one book you chose and LEAVE. After the 30 minute mark my back went into spasms. I can't a tan for long periods of time, I should not be standing in a line this long just to buy a Bible at the bookstore with 5 cash registers 4 days after Christmas. Finally at this point one of the help desk ladies comes over be cause the line BEHIND ME now is like 17 waiting as well, and I progressed about 8 thru. Things pick up now and move twice as fast with two cashiers. At the 40 minute mark I finally get to the counter JUST as Second Lady from the help desk also comes over and opens a 3rd register. I tell my cashier NO. I don't have a B&N card, no, I don't want one or to join any club, I just want to pay for my purchase and GO. And that it's RIDICULOUS you have people standing in this line for 40 minutes! I pay and take my Bible and leave. It took me all of 2 MINUTES for my transaction. If you have and expect exchanges & Returns , you need a separate area for that thru the first of January. Not at the checkout lane. It's too time consuming and inhibits other customers from simply completing their shopping trip, paying and leaving. And why at 2:30 with 17 people in a congested line do you only have ONE CASHIER 4 days after Christmas?? School is still out, people are still off from many jobs, it's a SUNDAY, the store is what I would call FULL. ‍‍ One Star for the lady at the help desk who took me all the way back to the Bible's section.

Wow, what a gem of a little coffee shop. They sell all sorts of snacks and local goods. There are…read moresome coffee samplers available from Zojurushi coffee machines (TIL those exist???) next to the entrance. The flavors were rich and very representative of the notes they were trying to convey. Fruit notes, chocolate notes, caramel notes.. somehow, they've made a coffee nearly taste like an infusion. Maybe they are, since the cold brew flavors are so unique here. Overall, an unexpected gem of a find in El Paso and one of the best coffee shops I've been to in a while.
