I love a good book, and I wanted to check this place out. I am one for a deal and if you neeed a…read moregift this is a grat place but if your just in need for a book to read and then return best to go to the libary. Books are not cheap and can get pricey over time. There are lots of great options, but be warned the prices are not always on the items, and I had to search for them. The building is clean, and the lady was very nice when I came in and was able to direct me to the right place.

As I approached the store the first thing I noticed was the Communist…read moreCovid shot sign on the door. Next were the employees in face diapers, then I grabbed some of the books I was looking for and heading up the center towards the register, I saw all of these demonic books. As I was waiting to purchase my books, there were two young children and one of them picked up this terrible Covid doll and that was the end for me! I turned around, put my books back on the shelf and walked out, never to return to this store again! This store apparently loves to throw all of the Communist, demonic stuff right in your face!

I took my kids and the shop keeper/ barista was so sweet! Nice cozy atmosphere and they have tables…read moreto play chess and checkers. Great spot!

The coffee and smoothies have a great flavor! But the…read moreservice was so slow, we had tried it before and it took 15 minutes to get just 2 drinks. So we thought that it was just a rough day, which anyone can have, and we would try it again. When we went back weeks later, and it was even slower! It took over 45 minutes to get 2 drinks and 2 premade muffins! It was insane, and when I asked around the 30 minute mark how much longer it would be the barista/server was really cranky. After this experience I asked my daughter who had tried this place a couple of times too, how her experiences were and unfortunately she had similar issues. So if you try this place, make sure you have a lot of time to wait. Personally I don't think I will be going back anytime soon.

I love any bookstore or library especially when the staff is helpful. It appears this Barnes &…read moreNoble was a pillar of the Richland Mall, having withstood the test of time, it has remained unbothered while all surrounding businesses seemed to have perished. Which makes this store such a treasure. You can find a great selection of items and get your caffeine fix at the indoor Starbucks. The distinct sobering scent of brewed coffee grounds greets you at the entrance. The aisles are easy to navigate and of course there's wifi.

Sadly I don't really visit this location for the books (although I have bought a few for gifts for…read moreexpectant mothers and my nieces) but the cafe is a nice escape when I'm at the office. I've been visiting this location for over 5 years and the cafe staff are so friendly and despite my irregular visiting schedule, they remember my name each time I'm there. I also enjoy when they have after season clearance sales -- they will gradually mark items down to 50% off, then 75% off and the remaining will go for $1-2/item. The best time to check this out is after a holiday (think post-Easter / Halloween, etc.) as they will have a bunch of mark downs. I often find great little gift items to hold on to or fun surprises for myself (I got a cool kitchen scale one time for $2!).

This place was a treasure trove of fun finds! Books of all types - genres for all genders, ages and…read morelovers of literature! Sometimes they run a BOGO sale and I was able to catch this on Mystery/Suspense Novels and hooked a Hitchcock! Can't beat snagging 2 books for eight books! Great deal! They even take books in on trade to boot. The ladies that work there were very helpful and we found some neat things. They even have a nice selection or rare and first edition novels.

I've been to the book dispensary twice now and I will say, I love how many different types of books…read morethere are. I do have some problems, though. Firstly, the latest time I went, there were boxes of books everywhere, making it impossible to get into most sections. The childrens' section is quite small. The service is ok, but they are very unorganised, they said they had a book that I needed for school but they didn't end up having it. Their book trade in system is quite sloppy, I gave them $200 worth of old books and they gave me $15 worth of book credits. the value is terrible as well. A very rough looking book about Athens, Greece that I bought was $25, originally $25.50. Other than that, I love the place, I just wish it had better organisation and value.

It's a few months ago that I walked into this coffee shop while passing by downtown Columbia, so I…read morepromised myself to visit again when I had time to enjoy some tea and stay a while. The day came and what a lovely coffee shop to hang out in. They serve coffee, milkshakes, tea, and lunch. It's cozy but open so you can sit on a couch, high table, or play at a table. They have puzzles and games for people to engage in. They have soft music that will relax you. The ladies were lovely and welcoming. Guys just stop by and stay for a cup of whatever you like you won't regret it. Thank you.

Highly recommend you stop by if you are needing a coffee fix. I chatted with the lady behind the…read morecounter and she was so kind and sweet. Oh, there was also some delicious bark- maybe like four or five different kinds. I was a little shocked it was empty and I'm not sure if they get busy. This coffee shop is attached to a church and across from the hospital. If you're also looking for a quiet place to maybe study, this is it. It was clean and welcoming. Now if you're looking for a bookstore, they do have a bookcase of Christian books, but bookstore would not necessarily be an accurate description. She might be able to order books though. Bottom line-support them. Support small business.

It is so unique it offers different rooms in each room. It feels like you're in a cozy library. They also allow dogs which I loved. The furniture and shop is a little dated, but adds character.

We both read our book for the month, come together with our wine, and charcuterie board then discussed parts of the book that impacted us in some way. Really exciting and fun, to not only highlight the book but just coming together conversing. I absolutely love Barnes & Noble! If you're a reader you know:) So if you're relaxing today, snuggle up with a good book from Barnes & Noble. They have great selections and I promise you will find a book that won't break the bank. Happy reading!

I just love a good book store! I was beyond excited that my son asked to go to the bookstore, I…read moremean I might have jumped up and down a bit. The bookstore was clean and inviting, we grabbed drinks at the cafe and browsed books for hours; never once did I feel rushed or pressured to purchase anything.

They do have an outdoor seating area where I believe is put to good use during the warmer weather. I appreciate the up to date trendy books they have to offer! The staff is nice too. They also have merch such as tote bags and t-shirts you can purchase as well.

Probably the best book store in Columbia..and they serve wine! Aside from that they have a…read morerelaxing spacious reading area and back yard garden to sit & enjoy ur favorites. They have a great selection of hard to find and contemporary titles and the staff are so nice.

They stay open late too which is a bonus.
