I love supporting bookstores, new or used. This Barnes & Noble will definitely be seeing me soon…read more They have a wide selection of books from many genres to choose from. While there I discovered their Travel Writing section which I didn't know existed. These are two of my favorite categories to explore. I found a book that I'm excited to dive into. It's been a book on my to be read list for a year now. And, there are many others I'm looking forward to buying soon. Sure I can buy these books online for half the price but if you're interested in supporting the lifespan of bookstores (like me) then you don't mind paying full price. The book I purchased was reasonable for a brand new book that was published just last year. Upon checkout, the bookseller was very helpful getting my daughter signed up with her own membership. To me, they truly value the customers that choose to walk into a bookstore when they know they could easily purchase their books online.

Of course I feel instantly happy once I walk in and breath in all the books. All the books nicely…read moredisplayed and neatly organized and cared for. My kids love the kids section even though they can't read but they sure do know to pretend real well. It almost like a one stop shop here because you can buy toys, dolls, figurines. Always a great place to go to for Harry Potter items. I do love that I have been seeing them step up their game on more spray edges and special editions. They just feel so one of a kind! I would like to see kiosk around the bookstore so that you can find out what genre of the books you are looking for. I know there is an info desk but sometimes I've gonna to far in and don't want to go back. There is also a me problem of telling myself " I'm pretty sure I can find it" When I was in college many moons ago I use to study here and it's such an awesome study vibe. I knocked out a star because there no longer is a Starbucks. Honestly it doesn't have to be a Starbucks....I just loves being able to snack on something and sip on a beverage while looking for books. Plus this location misses out on that $5 book deal when you buy any cafe item. Never had issues with parking it's a shared parking lot but they get the corner of the lot so plenty of parking. The employees are friendly, helpful, and are truly fellow book lovers.

The first thing that got my attention was the condition of the books. They're in really good shape. Some used bookstores make me feel like I can't wait to leave just so I can wash my hands Not here. The books are clean, organized really well section by section, and easy to browse. I went with my daughters and we had such a good time wandering the isles together. They also buy your previously loved books and (if you still have any) DVD's. If you love books and enjoy the thrill of finding unexpected gems, you'll enjoy your visit here.

Great selection and great variety of books, graphic novels and games. I really enjoyed this place…read more The only "ding" I would give it is that staff were a little less than friendly. Not necessarily unfriendly, but certainly not super helpful or give the appearance that they wanted to help you. Seemed like an inconvenience to them. Maybe I caught them on a bad day(?)... hopefully, because I really like this store. I will return.

Came here with a Yelp friend for the first time on a Saturday midday. It has been on my list and…read morewas the great opportunity to visit with another Elite Yelper. Parking- easy, shared spaces with the commercial strip of businesses. Drinks- they had a holiday menu of options. But they all looked kind of sweet to me. I went with the brown sugar espresso (with sugar free syrups). I did not want it overly sweet. I meant to say half a pump rather than a full one. Will remember that for next time. But I appreciated the sugar free option of syrups. When we first walked in we saw the wall of books. I actually was looking for a book, but they didn't have it in stock. But they recommended that I can go online and order. The nice staff member also said they have a lot of community events that they post. There was a book meet up that upcoming Sunday. Service- Kayla was our barista and she was wonderful. When I received my order it came out iced. But I had actually wanted it hot. She went back and changed it to hot - with zero hassle and a smile, very nice. Patrice was another wonderful staff member that walked us through the bookstore space and shared info about there event calendar. There was a few kids in the Readers to Leaders area. And couple of others enjoying the space. They had some work space tables and couches. I can tell they are really trying to make an impact into the community. With lots of cool events. When in the area, I am definitely coming back to support this Black owned business. Wishing them well!

This bookstore is actually a resource for families looking for support while home schooling, or for…read moreadditional learning for their kids. On top of being a learning based bookstore, there are many classrooms at the back for the classes offered here, for grades K and up, but particularly grades 6-12. The bookstore is well laid out, by either topic or teaching system (I.e. for math, Saxon and Singapore). The variety is really nice with options for small children (coloring and fun geared) as well as upper levels, with serious textbooks. Whether you're looking for additional materials for kids in school or to teach at home, there's definitely a book or two on the subject you need. They also appear to have a built in network of local teachers in different subjects, like music or physical education, if you're looking for referrals. While we have not had a child attend any classes here yet, they look promising, and will update when I have information on how that experience is.
