There's a charming cafe in the back serving snacks and beverages but it's not affiliated with bookstore! I bought an armload of books and gifts here, the prices were very reasonable. Extremely well organized and tidy bookstore. The displays were adorable. I would definitely come back here to rummage through the shelves of books! A reader's paradise!

The store is clean and very organized by genres. Inside the bookstore is a small cafe named Tastefully Philly. I highly recommend you grab a bite while visiting the bookstore. Delicious food and beverages.

2nd & Charles in Hampton is one of my favorite "happy accidents" in the area. If you love books,…read moregames, records, or just browsing something that feels genuinely fun instead of generic, this place delivers every time. It's one of those shops where you can wander for way longer than you planned and still feel like you got something out of the trip. The selection is solid and eclectic. They've got new and used books across genres, a great vinyl section that actually changes often enough to make repeat visits worth it, and a lot of tabletop games and collectibles that aren't shoved into a corner. Everything is easy to flip through, and it doesn't feel like sensory overload. Staff are friendly and actually seem to know (or want to help you find) what you're looking for, which is something I don't take for granted. No blank stares or "I guess?" answers when I ask about a genre or game system. What I love most is that it doesn't feel like a chain store experience. It feels local, personal, and like a place that rewards curiosity. Whether I'm picking up a book I've had my eye on, discovering an album I forgot I wanted, or grabbing something neat for someone else, I always leave feeling like it was time well spent. If you're the kind of person who likes real browsing not the "hit checkout immediately" vibe this store is absolutely worth a stop. I'll definitely be back. My kid could stay there all day and be happy but I would be broke so we keep it to a time limit. Be careful!

I go to this Barnes and Noble a lot and I am never disappointed. Their selection is always great,…read morethe store is always clean, and the workers are always helpful when I ask but when I just want to browse they leave me to browse which is something I really appreciate. I do want to shout out one worker in particular, I never caught her name but a man had come up to my husband and I asking us for money and she quickly saw the situation and pulled him aside and diffused the situation. She didn't kick him out and made sure everyone was comfortable in the store and I really appreciated that. I also love how the Starbucks in this location is so open and there are so many tables where I can get some work done or just sit comfortably and read. The baristas at the Starbucks are also very good and they have never once messed a drink up. Definitely my favorite Barnes and Noble in the are.a

We also found things like wizards, Simpson's, Marilyn Monroe, etc. so you can come browse and will probably find something you are a fan of in here. The older gentleman at the front was super welcoming and there was a pretty shop kitty inside too. Always a win when a store has a pet mascot.

The reason why was supposed to be a shortage of people. I have twice declined the purchase as I feel it's a waste to put a dessert in a plastic container and a fork in plastic when I am eating it here. So roughly $15 in gross sales lost over not wanting to use plates and put them in the dishwasher. Don't need to be an MBA to get that.
