There's a great variety of books that I haven't seen at the location in the Arboritum- They even have a copy of the elusive book The GOD Game by Danny Tobey! The cafe area isn't the cleanest, even during slow periods, but the baristas are really good and friendly.

I came today for a couple of things. Magazines, and a movie that I just heard about…read more The magazines I'm looking for is for a vision board I'm making. But unfortunately they had a very small selection of magazines and nothing that would fit what I was looking for anyway. I was also looking for a Stephan king movie that I heard about. And unfortunately I was out of luck with that too. I was helped by a nice gentleman that worked at the sell counter. And he offered to order the movie for me from another store, I think he said San Antonio, but I said, it wasn't necessary. The store was very neat and organized. Prices were fair for gentle used books.

Super…read moreclean building, well organized shelves, friendly staff, and great pricing has been consistent. So for my most recent visit here, I don't know if we just happened to come at a particularly slow time, but they priced a big box of books we brought in super fast. So if you're selling and are low on time maybe try this Half Price Books location? They had a few carts outside which helped us bring the box in so that's a plus. It is a nice spot with plenty of selection. It's all well kept as well. There's plenty of parking and everything is nice. I managed to snag a birthday gift for my hubs here on a visit, I managed to find a hardback book he had been looking for in pretty solid condition.

I've met people here at the Starbucks inside and even browsed the store with friends to kill time. I know in this day of age, people are not reading books and magazines in paper form, but you can find some excellent gifts here. I've found some great gifts for many friends and relatives here. My niece loves the little collectibles they have here where it's a mystery what's inside of it. Check out the gift finder online! I always have a hard time trying to find things for people and it's a great tool to give you some ideas. You can even buy online and pick up in store. That's convenient if you know what you want and don't want to wait for shipping. The staff is friendly. I really don't need any help finding anything as I just wander around. The line moves fast to check out so don't let that deter you from coming. Parking is easy, but the parking lot is shared with restaurant and retail shoppers so during Christmas it can get crazy.

Joseph schedule an appointment, came to the house, listen to what I was trying to accomplish with the type of equipment I wanted, measured the room with an iPad and got back to me with 3 quotes within the same day. We went with his recommendation and waited a bit for the gear to show up. Be prepared it can take several weeks but hey we are in the aftermath of a world wide pandemic and supply chain, microchip and all can delay your delivery but it was definitely worth the wait Fast forwarding to the install they delivered the gear, made the holes, draw the speaker lines and plugged and hooked everything up within a few hours... The end result is phenomenal, the customer service is exceptional and I was happy to use their services... it's a local business and the quality of service and product offered is much much much better than Best Buy. Guess what?! It was a few thousand lesser too for similar quality equipment! I Highly recommend their service if you are in need of anything audio, tv, install for your home! 10/10 A++ AMAZING!

Joseph was very enthusiastic in presenting the various speakers I was interested in, and Chris was great about ordering and letting me know when I could pick up my items. I'm very happy with what I purchased from Origin HiFi, and I am very appreciative of the customer service, even though my purchases are probably a rounding error, considering the mouth-watering array of products they offer.

My son and I had a terrible experience at Game Stop! Our brand new copy of Halo 4 got scratched by…read morethe XBOX, and we were hoping we could get it repaired. We went to Game Stop at La Frontera first because we were already at the shopping center. The very rude fellow behind the counter didn't even look up at us and said it was not repairable. Why repair a disc when you are hoping a customer will buy a new one from you? It was a totally different story at Game Over near Sprouts in Round Rock. They fixed it for us for $1! The very helpful gal behind the counter told us exactly what to do to prevent future scratches. She even offered to try to fix it again for free if the first try didn't work. The first try worked perfectly, and my kids are playing it right now! I will not be going back to Game Stop.

They left me with audio not syncing to lips and I had to spend a considerable amount of time playing with the marantz amp, Gemini AI and tv to 'fix it'. My Bravío 9 tv picture and adjustments might have been configured. Or not. Who knows? I don't use this space a lot so was looking for a turn key solution. I had suggested another amp and they said you get this one without telling me why I wanted it. I ended up researching and overall the wattage is better and the receiver is better for my system but no one took the time to communicate the why on equipment. I felt like they were a better option then Best Buy install but ultimately left lacking. If I have a question today about the system i wouldn't feel comfortable reaching out with questions. This install was right before the Super Bowl.

Absolutely amazing service. After having tried unsuccessfully to get anyone to even call me back…read moreChris was prompt, professiona, did amazing work and turned my request around on a dime. My highest possible recommendation.
