It's almost the polar opposite of generic corporate chains...although the conversations around me were straight outa Starbucks (ex: using bitcoin to pay for Twitter space events...LOL man, talk about boarding the caboose of a train that the engine has already plunged off a cliff 4 star service: sort of OK service...it's a little too clubby with the regulars to the point you have to call the staffers back to the counter to order after waiting there conspicuously. 4 star food beverage: The coffee is good but pretty standard. Come for the cool 1970s vibe of the place not really for exotic brews.

Nothing brings the Christmas feel good more to me than children. Barnes & Noble is a great place…read moreyear round, but so much better during the holidays. We recently gathered for the school Book Fair and a Grinch story time. The bookstore was brimming with boys & girls and their families. It could have been chaos with the amount of people there, but it was quite the opposite. Children of all ages were enjoying time together with classic books and bestsellers too! I was surprised to see this is a two-story store with escalators as well as elevators on the southwest corner of the store. The coffee shop was filling orders, the staff was helpful and accommodating, and I left with a desire to go back soon to peruse through all the great merchandise, and then hide in a nook with a book somewhere in the store!

This Barnes & Noble in Oakland Park is well kept although it's unwritten policy (upon my request it was confirmed by the customer service staff) of "NO READING WHILE SITTING ON THE FLOOR" is weird and no explanation provided. The Cafe serves Starbuck's coffee and pastry offering several seats and tables. The upstairs has a large Barnes & Noble Jr section and a good selection of sports books with four seats randomly postioned against the railing without a table. So now I'm reading a book with a coffee in an uncomfortable chair. I guess the days of comfy reading areas are long gone. My lower back is now killing me so left after 30 minutes. At least they provide an escalator or an optional elevator for comfort.

There's a huge selection of Loungefly backpacks but when we went, even with the sale online, the backpacks in store were full price.

You don't see too many brick and mortar book stores around anymore which is why I am glad that…read moreBooks-A-Million has been able to hang in there at the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Books-A-Million has a long history going all the way back to 1917 in Florence, Alabama, when 14 year old Clyde W. Anderson began a news stand business to support his family after the death of his father. From these humble beginnings Clyde's son, Charles C. Anderson expanded the books store left to him by his father into a chain of stores. Today they are the second largest chain of book stores in the U.S. operating close to 300 stores in more than 30 state. Books-A-Million is bright and inviting. They have a large selection of books from classics to the latest bestseller and periodicals but they also sell games, greeting cards, toys, T-shirts, collectibles, candy, house hold goods, collectibles, and more. I especially love their Florida section. This is the kind of store where it is easy to find a gift for that hard to shop for person. I have purchased a lot of presents here through the years as well as the latest beach book. I always discover something unique whenever I stop in. You can order books online but there is something so satisfying about going into a bookstore and holding the books in your hands as you make your decision. That is why this is always a top stop in the mall for me.

It was relatively quiet when we went and there are plenty of books, records, and cassettes to browse. There's also a good amount of seating inside and out. I didn't get anything to eat or drink but I definitely will during my next visit. Overall, a great place to read, hang out, or just peruse for books.

Certainly one of my favorite independent bookstores in the gables!…read more Nestled within the quaint and charming neighborhood ofCoral Gables, this dainty bookstore has all you need and more. Whether it's a solo trip for a quick purchase or a meeting spot for a quick bite and leisurely stroll, they have everything you need and can cater to any in search of some good books without the secondhand hassle. The open courtyard at the entrance has a bar offering light lobster options and wine. The floor plan has a winding maze-like layout making your browsing experience much more interesting. They also host book signing events with local authors so checking their social media pages is a good way to sneak peak what's in store. They have something for every reader and even plenty of independent and local newspapers. The staff is very helpful and they're quick to help you find whatever material you're searching for. The prices are reasonable and there's plenty of categories to choose from. It's perfect to come here when you want a chill activity without the hustle and bustle. There are deals on the wine bottles during the week so check their calendar. I recommend this place over the conglomerate booksellers because they really support local business owners and their prices are extremely attractive for the range they offer.

The coffee portion was open but I did not try a coffee due to me having one prior to coming here. The shop is very cute. They have neat items/ gifts/ from books to bibles, to jewelry to home decor. The woman who ran the store was very kind, and helpful. They had the most beautiful bible cover books. I ended up buying a beautiful bracelet with my favorite bible quote. I was informed for the holidays coming up there going to get a lot more festive items. I'm looking forward to seeing what they get.
